Blues Masters, Vol. 8: Mississippi Delta Blues

Blues Masters, Vol. 8: Mississippi Delta Blues (1993) more music like this

by Various Artists

The title for this volume is a bit of a misnomer. While there is easily half a compilation's worth of authentic acoustic material here (including classics by Tommy Johnson, Charley Patton, Willie Brown, and Robert Johnson), the inclusion of tracks by B.B. and Albert King and recorded in Chicago sides by Howlin' Wolf, Elmore James and Robert ...

Complete Recordings: 1929-1934

Complete Recordings: 1929-1934 (2002) more music like this

by Charley Patton

At the end of just the first disc on this five-CD set, the listener may feel like he/she was in the audio equivalent of a visual "white-out," so powerful are the sounds on that disc. From the opening bars of"Pony Blues," Charley Patton becomes a gigantic musical presence, who gets even bigger as his work goes on; with a guttural, stentorian voice ...

Screamin' and Hollerin' the Blues: The Worlds of Charley Patton (2001) more music like this

by Charley Patton

Perhaps the most sumptuous, nay incredible, box set package ever devised for a blues artist, this lavish production contains seven CDs that not only contain everything Patton recorded as a soloist, but a ton of peripheral tracks to which he contributed or was associated.

Masters of the Delta Blues: The Friends of Charlie Patton

Masters of the Delta Blues: The Friends of Charlie Patton (1991) more music like this

by Various Artists

Guitarist and harmonica player Alan Wilson, singer Bob Hite, and guitarist Henry Vestine took their scholarly interest in these remarkable old recordings and lovingly re-created them for the emerging rock audience in the late ...

Broke, Black and Blue [Box] (1999) more music like this

by Various Artists

This four-disc, 100-track box set differs from most blues compendiums on a number of fronts. For openers, it focuses on the first 20 years of blues recordings, from 1924's "Barrelhouse Blues" by Ed Andrews to 1946's "Rhythm Mama" by Johnny Temple. Second, even though there are entries from artists like Blind Blake, Mississippi John Hurt, Son House ...

Century of the Blues: The Definitve Country Blues Collection (2003) more music like this

by Various Artists

The idea is simple enough -- celebrate a century of blues by releasing a four-CD box set with the 100 greatest blues tracks ever. And, to be fair, they have the artists, everyone from Bessie Smith to Robert Johnson, and Muddy Waters to Mississippi John Hurt. But quality is always in the ear of the beholder, and these aren't always the greatest ...
