1	Avalon Blues: The Complete 1928 Okeh Recordings (1996) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt Mississippi John Hurt's latter-day recordings after his rediscovery have somewhat obscured the importance of these debut sides -- the ones that made his rediscovery an idea initially worth pursuing. Archival recordings such as Avalon Blues: The Complete 1928 Okeh Recordings are the collector's items that made his rep in the first place, and stand ... see all copies from $5.33! new only from $5.33!
2	The Essential Taj Mahal (2005) more music like this by Taj Mahal The Essential Taj Mahal pulls together the bluesman's Columbia, Warner, Gramavision Private Music, and Hannibal labels' recordings, making it the first truly cross-licensed compilation of his work. Given the depth and breadth of this set (it covers four decades), the listener gets not only a cross-sectional view of the artist, but also his ... see all copies from $22.14! new only from $22.14!
3	The Best of Mississippi John Hurt [Aim] (1998) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt Mississippi John Hurt did a live 21-song set on April 15, 1965, at Oberlin College in Ohio, a scant two years after his rediscovery in 1963, and a year before his death in 1966. Hurt was remarkably consistent as a performer, whether you listen to his famous 1920s Okeh tracks, his rediscovery studio work for Vanguard Records, or the handful of live ... see all copies from $13.91! new only from $13.91!
4	The Best of Taj Mahal [Sony Remaster] (2000) more music like this by Taj Mahal Columbia/Legacy's 2000 collection The Best of Taj Mahal is a first-rate overview of Taj Mahal's classic late-'60s/early-'70s work for Columbia. Spanning 17 tracks, including a previously unreleased cut "Sweet Mama Janisse" from 1970, this hits many of the key points from the records he released between 1967 and 1974, including "Statesboro Blues," ... see all copies from $6.76! new only from $7.98!
5	D.C. Blues: Library of Congress Recordings (2004) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt Mississippi John Hurt was easily the most accessible of all the 1920s bluesmen rediscovered still alive and in playing condition in the early 1960s. His easy, gentle singing voice and deft guitar picking abilities were still intact and undiminished, and where some of his hard-living contemporaries suffered from alcoholism, Alzheimer's, or just ... see all copies from $17.69! new only from $17.69!
6	The Rose and the Briar: Death, Love and Liberty in American Ballads (2004) more music like this by Various Artists Assembled by Sean Wilents and Greil Marcus to accompany the book of the same title, The Rose and the Briar: Death, Love and Liberty in American Ballads is organized around the central question, "What does the American ballad say about America?" Well, judging from the selections collected, it would appear that America (no surprise here) is most ... see all copies from $11.06! new only from $11.06!
7	Memorial Anthology (1993) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt Mississippi John Hurt's mid-'60s performances were usually distinctive and sometimes staggering. His guitar work was crisp, attractive and frequently brilliant, although his vocals were the real hook. Hurt's narratives, storytelling ability and general communicative powers were at their peak on this two-CD set, which has languished in a vault for ... see all copies from $23.69! new only from $23.69!
8	In Progress & in Motion: 1965-1998 (1998) more music like this by Taj Mahal For being a nearly omnipresent figure, Taj Mahal has never quite gotten the respect he's deserved. At the beginning of his career, he earned a significant amount of attention, but as the years passed, he had woven himself into the fabric of blues culture so well that his presence was taken for granted. That is why the 1998 release of In Progress & ... see all copies from $27.10! new only from $35.59!
9	Box of the Blues (2003) more music like this by Various Artists Rounder's four-CD Box of the Blues is, by looking at its inclusion of tracks, seemingly an ambitious proposition. But looks can be deceiving. Compiled and introduced by vice president of A&R Scott Billington -- a man whose credentials, when it comes to fighting for and preserving blues traditions, are unassailable -- these discs become a kind of ... see all copies from $24.33! new only from $24.33!
10	Harry Smith Connection (1998) more music like this by Various Artists As part of the excitement surrounding the re-release of Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music box set in 1997, two concerts were staged at the Barns of Wolf Trap in Vienna, VA. This 19-song, hour-long CD was taken from those shows, and features contemporary performances of songs on the anthology, garnished by one song about Harry Smith ... see all copies from $15.52! new only from $15.52!
11 view cover	Taj's Blues (1992) more music like this by Taj Mahal Taj's Blues is an entertainingly diverse record, featuring a variety of blues and roots-music styles, all fused together into a distinctive sound of its own. Half of the album is played on acoustic, the other with an electric band (which includes guitarists Ry Cooder and Jesse Davis on a handful of tracks), which gives a pretty good impression of ... see all copies from $2.50! new only from $5.47!
12 view cover	1928 Sessions (1988) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt The 13 original 1928 recordings of Hurt. Justifiably legendary, with gentle grace and power on these understated vocal and fingerpicking masterpieces. These are the ones to hear, although all Hurt is worth listening to. Michael Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $10.76! new only from $10.76!
13 view cover	American Folk Music (2000) more music like this by Various Artists A bit like a single-disc, condensed version of Harry Smith's famous Anthology of American Folk Music (most of these tracks can be found there), this fine compilation features commercially released 78s from the 1920s and 1930s, and pretty much covers the gamut of early American vernacular music, with a fair sampling of Cajun, country-blues, gospel ... see all copies from $12.60! new only from $12.60!
14 view cover	The Roots of Taj Mahal (2000) more music like this by Various Artists An interesting concept to say the least, here's an exemplary collection of blues tunes all covered by Taj Mahal at one point or another. But here's the original versions of classics by Robert Johnson, Blind Willie Johnson, Blind Willie McTell, Leadbelly, Sleepy John Estes, Son House, Washboard Sam, Sonny Boy Williamson, and Blind Boy Fuller and ... see all copies from $14.56! new only from $14.56!
15 view cover	Library of Congress Sessions (2000) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt see all copies from $14.25! new only from $14.25!
16 view cover	Legend (1997) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt These 14 songs were recorded in 1963 and 1964; material from these sessions appeared briefly on Canada's Rebel label, as well as Piedmont. The mood is late-night informal, although there's little, if anything, in the Hurt catalog that could not be called informal. Hurt's originals are dotted with standards like "See See Rider," "Do Lord Remember ... see all copies from $14.83! new only from $17.79!
17 view cover	Satisfying Blues (1995) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt Mississippi John Hurt did a live 21-song set on April 15, 1965, at Oberlin College in Ohio, a scant two years after his rediscovery in 1963, and a year before his death in 1966. Hurt was remarkably consistent as a performer, whether you listen to his famous 1920s Okeh tracks, his rediscovery studio work for Vanguard Records, or the handful of live ... see all copies from $12.60! new only from $12.60!
18 view cover	News & the Blues: Telling It Like It Is (1991) more music like this by Various Artists Like any form of popular music, the blues has reflected the social conditions of the times, sometimes quite explicitly. News & the Blues offers 20 songs from the Columbia vaults from between 1927 and 1947. The Depression is reflected often, as expected, but there are also songs about natrual disasters, public figures like Joe Louis, World War II, ... see all copies from $12.00!
19 view cover	Blues: Gold Collection (1998) more music like this by Various Artists While longtime blues fans will find little of interest here, listeners new to the music may discover a wealth of classics in this budget-line compilation, a 14-track collection featuring two entries apiece from giants like Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Mississippi John Hurt and Elmore James. Although the fidelity varies wildly from track to track, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
20 view cover	Folk, Gospel & Blues: Will the Circle Be Unbroken (1999) more music like this by Various Artists The scope of the 45-track Folk, Gospel & Blues: Will the Circle Be Unbroken, culled from the gargantuan 26-disc box set Sony Music 100 Years: Soundtrack for a Century, is impressive. Columbia was one of the biggest labels in the early days of the record industry, as is evident from the beginning of this collection, which features cuts by Bessie ... see all copies from $8.98!
21 view cover	Women in (E)motion (2002) more music like this by Rory Block see all copies from $16.00! new only from $16.00!
22 view cover	Martin Scorsese Presents the Blues: A Musical Journey (2003) more music like this by Original Soundtrack This five-disc, 116-track box set presents a sweeping history of the blues from its emergence in the early 1900s clear through to its various contemporary guises, and includes samples of country blues in all of its regional variations, as well as cuts from string bands, jug bands, jazz combos, gritty Chicago blues outfits, and a look at how rock ... see all copies from $34.63! new only from $59.95!
23 view cover	Rock & Roll, Vol. 1: 1938-1946 (2001) more music like this by Various Artists The story usually goes that rock & roll was born in 1954 when a young truck driver named Elvis Presley opted to sing black blues his way, and there is no debate that Presley became a catalyst for the explosion that became known as rock & roll. But like most explosions, it had been brewing for a while, and this is the case that Rock & Roll, Volume ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $10.00!
24 view cover	I'm Satisfied (2005) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt Mississippi John Hurt did a live 21-song set on April 15, 1965, at Oberlin College in Ohio, a scant two years after his rediscovery in 1963, and a year before his death in 1966. Hurt was remarkably consistent as a performer, whether you listen to his famous 1920s Okeh tracks, his rediscovery studio work for Vanguard Records, or the handful of live ... see all copies from $16.57! new only from $16.57!
25 view cover	Men of Blues (1998) more music like this by Various Artists This curious three-disc box set mixes in old blues 78s with latter rediscovery recordings to form a rather random, but pleasantly cohesive (if somewhat cursory) introduction to early blues. The wide variety of styles here is impressive, though, ranging from the guttural roars of Charley Patton and Son House, through the highly personalized blues ... see all copies from $16.38! new only from $16.38!
