1	Cosimo Matassa Story (2007) more music like this by Various Artists Although he's far from a household name, it's hard to imagine the existence of New Orleans R&B without Cosimo Matassa. As owner and engineer at J&M Studios, housed in a reworked grocery store on Rampart Street, Matassa saw the birth of R&B, rock & roll, and soul pass through his doors between 1945 and 1956, and he was responsible for the early ... see all copies from $23.04! new only from $23.04!
2	D.C. Blues: Library of Congress Recordings, Vol. 2 (2005) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt see all copies from $17.69! new only from $17.69!
3	Boogie Woogie Stomp (1938) more music like this by Albert Ammons The classic boogie-woogie performances of Albert Ammons, Meade Lux Lewis and Pete Johnson have never been put out completely and in chronological order, although some sessions have been reissued many times. This 1998 Delmark CD confuses the matter a bit because some of the live recordings that it includes formerly came out on Euphonic LPs, and ... see all copies from $10.65! new only from $10.65!
4	Hard Time Killin' Floor (2005) more music like this by Skip James Hard Time Killin' Floor isn't the first Skip James collection, and one could bet it will not be the last. But Hard Time Killin' Floor makes a pretty good argument for itself: the hour-and-six-minute album holds all of James' early work, and it's been remastered. James' soulful vocal style, like Robert Johnson's, has often been noted, but his quick ... see all copies from $17.86! new only from $17.86!
5	Cypress Grove Blues (2004) more music like this by Skip James With his high, eerie falsetto and haunting guitar tunings, Skip James sounds like no other country blues player. Although his lyrics were generally drawn from the floating bag of clichés that showed up in countless blues songs, his atmospheric recordings, done in 1931 for Paramount, gave James' songs the appearance of poignancy, and his sad, ... see all copies from $9.56! new only from $9.56!
6	Sonny's Story (1960) more music like this by Sonny Terry Sonny's Story is an excellent showcase for Sonny Terry's talents, which sometimes went unheralded because they largely were showcased in the shadow of Brownie McGhee. Here, Terry is largely playing solo acoustic, with J.C. Burris joining in for harmonica duets every so often; Sticks McGhee and drummer Belton Evans also play on a few cuts. Unlike ... see all copies from $8.00!
7	Chicago Piano, Vol. 1 (1951) more music like this by Jimmy Yancey Jimmy Yancey was one of the pioneer boogie-woogie pianists, but unlike many of the other pacesetters, he had a gentle and thoughtful style that also crossed over into the blues. This Atlantic CD, a straight reissue of the 1972 LP, contains Yancey's final recordings, cut just eight weeks before his death from diabetes. The pianist is in fine form ... see all copies from $10.72! new only from $10.72!
8	Alton Blues (1961) more music like this by Barrelhouse Buck McFarland Whether it is an acoustic guitar playing Mississippi Delta country-blues or an electric guitar playing amplified Chicago blues, the guitar has long been considered the quintessential blues instrument. But there is also a lot to be said for the acoustic piano, which has been the instrument of choice for everyone from Champion Jack Dupree to Memphis ... see all copies from $13.92! new only from $13.92!
9	The Unissued 1951 Yancey Wire Recordings (1998) more music like this by Jimmy Yancey & Mama Yancey Boogie-woogie pianist Jimmy Yancey and his wife, Mama Yancey, used to have musical gatherings at their Chicago home. The performances heard on this CD were recorded by a wire recorder three months before Yancey's death, and were released for the first time on this 1997 CD. The recording quality varies greatly, ranging from listenable to quite ... see all copies from $18.07! new only from $18.07!
10	Chicago: The Living Legends (South Side Blues) (1961) more music like this by Various Artists Singer/guitarist Walter Vinson, singer/pianist Little Brother Montgomery, and singer Mama Yancey were veterans of the pre-electric Chicago scene and in magnificent form on this 1961 Riverside date. The album also contains two rare selections by the obscure singer/harp blower Henry Benson. Roundup Newsletter, All Music Guide see all copies from $10.80! new only from $10.80!

12 view cover	Heavy Timbre: Chicago Boogie Piano (2002) more music like this by Various Artists On one glorious day in June of 1976, five of Chicago's most prominent piano blues/boogie-woogie players got together for a session reminiscent of rent parties of the past, when this music was played loud and long enough to cause eviction, thereby avoiding the payment of overdue rent. Sirens Records made the original recording and has reissued it ... see all copies from $30.00!

18 view cover	Complete Recorded Works, Vol. 1 (1922-23) (1996) more music like this by Lizzie Miles Lizzie Miles is better-known than most of the classic blues singers of the '20s because she made a comeback in the '50s when she emerged still in prime form. Actually her earliest recordings are quite obscure, making this first of three Document CDs a valuable acquisition for vintage blues collectors. Miles' initial 22 recordings feature her ... see all copies from $22.84! new only from $22.84!

20 view cover	Legends of Country Blues (2003) more music like this by Various Artists JSP's Legends of Country Blues compiles five CDs of performances by Son House, Skip James, Bukka White, Tommy Johnson, and Ishman Bracey. These historic prewar recordings have been remastered, and according to the packaging, feature "unprecedented listening quality."

22 view cover	The Complete 1931 Recordings (2005) more music like this by Skip James Skip James recorded 18 songs for Paramount Records in Grafton, WI, in 1931, a session that yielded some of the greatest and most unique sides in the history of country blues. These tracks have been issued in their entirety by several labels, including Yazoo, Document, and Body & Soul, each of which has transferred them from surviving 78s.

24 view cover	Baton Label: Sol's Story (1997) more music like this by Various Artists The Baton label, run by Sol Rabinowitz, was a small New York R&B indie that had some modest successes in the 1950s, most notably with the original version of "Got My Mojo Working," by Ann Cole (included here).
