1	From the Cradle (1994) more music like this by Eric Clapton For years, fans craved an all-blues album from Eric Clapton; he waited until 1994 to deliver From the Cradle. The album manages to re-create the ambience of postwar electric blues, right down to the bottomless thump of the rhythm section. If it wasn't for Clapton's labored vocals, everything would be perfect. As long as he plays his guitar, he can ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.32!
2	King of the Blues [Box] (1992) more music like this by B.B. King No way can a mere four discs cover every facet of the blues king's amazing recording career, but MCA makes a valiant stab at it. The first two discs, as expected, are immaculate: opening with his Bullet Records debut ("Miss Martha King"), the box continues with a handful of pivotal RPM/Kent masters before digging into his 1960s ABC-Paramount ... see all copies from $13.50! new only from $53.07!
3	Can't Quit the Blues (2006) more music like this by Buddy Guy Legend status came late to Buddy Guy, so it shouldn't be surprising that this is the first box set devoted to the blues giant's work. Yet it is still a bit of a shock, because Guy, it seems, has always been a part of the modern blues scene, ubiquitous even in the late '60s at the era's high-profile rock and folk festivals, playing the hippie ... see all copies from $41.89! new only from $41.89!
4	Getting Ready... (1971) more music like this by Freddie King The first of Freddie King's three albums for Leon Russell's Shelter label set the tone for his work for the company: competent electric blues with a prominent rock/soul influence. King sings and plays well, but neither the sidemen nor the material challenge him to scale significant heights. Part of the problem is that King himself wrote none of ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $11.13!
5	The Best of the Shelter Years (2000) more music like this by Freddie King King's Shelter years were covered in toto on the 1995 double-CD King of the Blues, which had everything from all three of his Shelter albums and then some. Although all of the 18 songs on this single-disc anthology were on King of the Blues, this is a more manageable survey of the same era. Not an era, it should be said, that was King's best, with ... see all copies from $11.13! new only from $11.13!
6	Back on Top (2000) more music like this by Pinetop Perkins Boogie-woogie pianist and Muddy Waters Band alumni Pinetop Perkins is in fine form on his second Telarc disc, Back on Top. These ten tunes cover familiar territory that most blues fans will know by heart, including "Hi-Heel Sneakers," "Kansas City," and "Down in Mississippi." Perkins' band, consisting of Denny Breau on guitar, Michael "Mudcat" ... see all copies from $10.44! new only from $10.44!
7	Collection (2003) more music like this by Junior Parker After giving rockabilly fans something to talk about forever with his 1953 Sun Records single "Mystery Train" b/w "Love My Baby," Junior Parker moved on to Duke Records, his home for the next dozen or so years. This compilation is drawn from that period, and it contains some of Parker's best efforts, including fine reworkings of a pair of ... see all copies from $12.07! new only from $12.07!
8	Live at the Old Absinthe House Bar: Friday Night (1997) more music like this by Bryan Lee see all copies from $15.28! new only from $15.28!
9	Looking at Long John Baldry: The UA Years 1964-1966 (2006) more music like this by Long John Baldry see all copies from $19.19! new only from $19.19!
10	The Best of John Lee Hooker [GNP] (1973) more music like this by John Lee Hooker Here's 20 of John Lee Hooker's Vee-Jay recordings. It's a mixed batch of full-band sides -- some that work, some that don't -- a couple of live solo tracks (dubbed from noisy vinyl, too), and some solo studio tracks that include re-cuts of his early hits like "Boogie Chillun" and "I'm in the Mood." As Hooker collections go, this one's not bad, but ... see all copies from $6.82! new only from $6.82!
11	Five Live Yardbirds (1964) more music like this by The Yardbirds Five Live Yardbirds was the first important -- indeed, essential -- live album to come out of the 1960s British rock & roll boom. In terms of the performance captured and the recording quality, it was also the best such live record of the entire middle of the decade. Cut at a Marquee Club show in 1964 , Five Live Yardbirds was a popular album, ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $15.32!
12 view cover	Mellow Down Easy (1991) more music like this by Carey Bell The harpist hooked up with a young Maryland-based band called Tough Luck for this disc, certainly one of his better outings. The traditional mindset of the combo pushed Bell back to his roots, whether on the originals "Just like You" and the Horton homage "Big Walter Strut" or revivals of Muddy Waters' "Short Dress Woman" and "Walking Thru the ... see all copies from $5.98! new only from $15.49!
13 view cover	The Best of the Early Years (2007) more music like this by B.B. King There have been numerous compilations of the best of B.B. King's recordings for the Modern label in the 1950s and early '60s, and if you've already picked up one of them, there isn't an urgent reason to replace or upgrade it with this CD. If not, however, this certainly makes a good bid to be considered as the best single-disc anthology of this ... see all copies from $16.65! new only from $16.65!
14 view cover	Guess Who (1972) more music like this by B.B. King see all copies from $3.00! new only from $24.37!
15 view cover	Harp & Soul (1988) more music like this by Lazy Lester After a lengthy hiatus from the music business, Lester was in the midst of his comeback when he waxed this album for Alligator. The overall sound is redolent of those Louisiana swamp blues classics, but with a cannily updated contemporary edge that works well. Bill Dahl, All Music Guide see all copies from $10.00! new only from $16.37!
16 view cover	Heritage of the Blues: The Complete Hightone Sessions (2003) more music like this by Pinetop Perkins Pinetop Perkins' Heritage of the Blues: The Complete Hightone Sessions is a welcome if strange reissue. In a sense, none of the tracks here have been issued before -- at least not in this form. These sessions took place over two years in the Octobers of 1996 and 1997 in Chicago. There are 15 tracks here, including Perkins classic originals such as ... see all copies from $8.32! new only from $8.32!
17 view cover	Memphis Heat (1981) more music like this by Memphis Slim Memphis Heat documents Chicago blues piano legend Memphis Slim's studio collaborations with the rock group Canned Heat in France on September 18, 1970, and July 11, 1973. The results are tasty indeed. Slim's voice and piano are well matched by Henry Vestine's electric guitar, Canned Heat's rockin' rhythm section, and (on six out of 13 tracks) the ... see all copies from $13.41! new only from $13.41!
18 view cover	Love Me Mama (1969) more music like this by Luther Allison Although it has its moments -- particularly on the title track -- Luther Allison's debut album, Love Me Mama, is on the whole uneven, featuring more mediocre tracks than killer cuts. Nevertheless, it offers intriguing glimpses of the style he would later develop. Thom Owens, All Music Guide see all copies from $14.05! new only from $14.05!
19 view cover	Early in the Morning (2006) more music like this by Eric Clapton see all copies from $5.88! new only from $8.98!
20 view cover	The Best of the Blues (1963) more music like this by Jimmy Reed see all copies from $15.00!
21 view cover	Blues Had a Baby (1999) more music like this by Lurrie Bell The blues of Lurrie Bell comes from a turbulent place, but there's no denying the man can play. This album brings together tracks from three different sessions, the bulk being held in 1997. Supported by a spartan rhythm section, Bell sprays kamikaze guitar licks over a bevy of old standards like "Five Long Years," "Who Do You Love," "Mean Old ... see all copies from $14.97! new only from $14.97!
22 view cover	Colin James (1988) more music like this by Colin James Although it's a little short on originality -- at times you could swear Stevie Ray Vaughan showed him exactly what to play -- Colin James' eponymous debut is an impressive collection of high-octane blues-rock that, at its best, explodes with the intensity of a keg of dynamite. James' forté is his speedy, accomplished guitar playing, which is ... see all copies from $1.99!
23 view cover	Yardbirds Story: 1963-66 (2002) more music like this by The Yardbirds Spread over four discs, this set contains every released recording the Yardbirds made under the leadership of their manager Giorgio Gomelsky from 1963 to 1966. Among the 89 tracks are the original hit versions of "Heart Full of Soul," "For Your Love," "Shapes of Things," "Still I'm Sad" along with a slew of rarities, alternate takes and an ... see all copies from $27.58! new only from $29.37!
24 view cover	Prison Blues (1999) more music like this by Neal Pattman Recording may be a relatively new luxury to Neal Pattman, but in life he is a grizzled veteran. His first album is a stark affair, almost an eavesdrop into a backroom rehearsal. A frisky harp player and singer, Pattman is joined by Taj Mahal and labelmate Cootie Stark on over half the album, and together and in various configurations the trio ... see all copies from $13.37! new only from $13.37!
25 view cover	Harpin' on It: The Complete Jewel Recordings (2002) more music like this by Frank Frost WestSide's 13-track collection Harpin' on It: The Complete Jewel Recordings compiles all of the songs Frank Frost cut for the Louisiana label in the mid-'60s. While these sides aren't as down-and-dirty as his earlier material for Sun, they're still enjoyable, revved-up juke joint blues. If anything, he stretches the form a little bit here, getting ... see all copies from $14.81! new only from $14.81!
