1	Sufferin' Mind (1991) more music like this by Guitar Slim His guitar fraught with manic high-end distortion and his vocals fried over church-fired intensity, Eddie "Guitar Slim" Jones influenced a boatload of disciples while enjoying the rewards that came with his 1954 R&B chart-topper, "The Things That I Used to Do." This 26-song survey of Slim's seminal 1953-1955 Specialty catalog rates with the best ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $9.72!
2	The Chess Box (1990) more music like this by Muddy Waters The Chess Box does not contain all the great music Muddy Waters made. His talent and legacy are too large to be captured in a mere three discs, even one that spans from 1947 to 1972. This means, of course, that his legendary plantation recordings with Alan Lomax are not here, nor is his dynamic late-'70s comeback, Hard Again. But, truth be told, ... see all copies from $33.00! new only from $38.76!
3	Duke's Blues (1996) more music like this by Duke Robillard Band see all copies from $3.56! new only from $8.42!
4	Live at Carnegie Hall (1997) more music like this by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble Live at Carnegie Hall captures Stevie Ray Vaughan on the supporting tour for his second album, 1984's Couldn't Stand the Weather. The Carnegie Hall concert was a special show, since it was the only time Vaughan and Double Trouble added the brass section from Roomful of Blues to augment their sound; in addition, the concert featured guest ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $8.69!
5	Frozen Alive! (1981) more music like this by Albert Collins Frozen Alive! demonstrates the exuberant power of Albert Collins in concert and contains enough first-rate solos to make it a worthwhile listen for fans of his icy style. [A live Japanese edition released in 2006 contains bonus tracks.] Thom Owens, All Music Guide see all copies from $8.00! new only from $9.25!
6	Stoop Down Baby...Let Your Daddy See (1972) more music like this by Chick Willis Here's the signifyin' original "Stoop Down Baby" in its long, unexpurgated version as issued on the tiny La Val label in 1972. "Mother Fuyer" travels the same salacious route, but Chick Willis has a serious side, too -- a pair of Guitar Slim covers spotlight Willis' stinging guitar and sturdy singing. Bill Dahl, All Music Guide see all copies from $8.57! new only from $10.28!
7	The Alligator Records 25th Anniversary Collection (1996) more music like this by Various Artists This is a specially priced, two-CDs-for-the-price-of-one photo-cube set, loaded with great stuff from Charlie Musselwhite, Koko Taylor, Lonnie Brooks, Johnny Winter, Billy Boy Arnold, Lonnie Mack, and a host of others who have trotted their wares on the label over the years. Besides giving the novice one great introduction to the label (as the ... see all copies from $7.95! new only from $12.59!
8	The Chess Box (1988) more music like this by Chuck Berry Over the course of three compact discs, The Chess Box contains most of the highlights from Chuck Berry's career, including all of the hit singles. In addition to the familiar items, which are all included here, there are numerous tracks that are lesser-known but equally as good. That's particularly true on the stellar first two discs, where album ... see all copies from $14.00! new only from $35.77!
9	Guitar'd and Feathered (2007) more music like this by Candye Kane Blues-rock veteran Candye Kane returns with one of her stronger albums in recent memory. The basic premise of Guitar'd and Feathered is simple enough: each track pairs the randy blues diva with a different guitarist. Guests include Sue Foley, Junior Watson, Steady Rollin' Bob Margolin (who also produces), and others, but rather than bend Kane's ... see all copies from $4.29! new only from $6.00!
10	St. Louis to Liverpool (1964) more music like this by Chuck Berry This album puts the lie to the popular myth that Chuck Berry's music started to fade away around the same time that the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, et al. emerged covering his stuff. His songwriting is as strong here as ever -- side one is packed with now-familiar fare like "Little Marie" (a sequel to "Memphis, Tennessee"), "No Particular Place ... see all copies from $7.44! new only from $8.34!
11 view cover	This Is Buddy Guy! (1968) more music like this by Buddy Guy see all copies from $9.55! new only from $10.79!
12 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 $13.85!
13 view cover	Live at the Old Absinthe House Bar, Vol. 2: Saturday (1998) more music like this by Bryan Lee From the beginning of the opening cut, "Think," and throughout the entire show on this live CD, blues guitarist and singer Bryan Lee puts on an explosive performance full of fire and passion. Lee talks enthusiastically to the audience, giving them the background to many of the songs before shouting out his vocals, but his intense guitar flights ... see all copies from $10.16! new only from $14.95!
14 view cover	Blues (2003) more music like this by Chuck Berry Chuck Berry grew up on the blues, taking Muddy Waters as a particular hero, so when he signed with Chess Records in the mid-'50s, the label undoubtedly figured they were getting a blues artist. Which Berry was, but his bright, skittering guitar style and penchant for writing songs with lyrics that set aside blues clichés for something closer to ... see all copies from $6.05! new only from $6.05!
15 view cover	Ghetto Mission (1999) more music like this by Nuwine see all copies from $2.09! new only from $3.15!
16 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 $35.00! new only from $35.00!
17 view cover	The Roots of Rock 'n' Roll: 1946-1954 (2004) more music like this by Various Artists Of the numerous various-artist compilation CDs that have attempted to anthologize the recordings of the late '40s and early '50s most crucial to planting the seeds for rock & roll, this three-CD, 60-song set is probably the most definitive. Most prior collections along these lines have failed to present a truly comprehensive picture of rock & roll ... see all copies from $27.70! new only from $35.54!
18 view cover	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 $17.25! new only from $17.25!
19 view cover	Uncanned! The Best of Canned Heat (1994) more music like this by Canned Heat For all but the completists, this anthology should more than suffice as an apt compact-disc retrospective of Canned Heat's releases on Liberty Records. To that end, it's a more or less chronological overview of the combo's LPs, commencing with a trio of tunes from a spring 1967 studio session that predates their self-titled debut (1967). Primary ... see all copies from $8.24! new only from $8.24!
20 view cover	Blues Gold [Hip O] (2006) more music like this by Various Artists None of the cuts on this two-disc, 38-track collection is particularly obscure or hard to find elsewhere, but what makes it a useful set is having them all in one package, and the end result is a nice introduction to modern electric blues. Included are such classic blues performances as Big Mama Thornton's "Hound Dog," T-Bone Walker's "Call It ... see all copies from $16.72! new only from $16.72!
21 view cover	Live at Monterey (1971) more music like this by Johnny Otis An R&B oldies show with a difference, the artists represented the cream of the crop of jump blues, and in 1970, they were still in fine form. The disc stars Otis, Esther Phillips, Eddie Vinson, Joe Turner, Ivory Joe Hunter, Roy Milton, Roy Brown, Pee Wee Crayton, and Johnny's guitar wielding son, Shuggie. Bill Dahl, All Music Guide see all copies from $9.95! new only from $9.95!
22 view cover	Live (2001) more music like this by The Fabulous Thunderbirds Like spiritually similar brethren George Thorogood (only with a Tex-Mex flair, natch), the Thunderbirds have released a live disc on the CMC imprint. This appropriately monikered Live does a fine job of displaying the hits, namely "Wrap It Up" and "Tuff Enuff," and that alone would make it a decent primer for the band, though purists would no ... see all copies from $7.49! new only from $7.49!
23 view cover	Molten Ice (1992) more music like this by Albert Collins Reissued domestically in 1998, Molten Ice captures Albert Collins live in Toronto in 1973 with backing by that city's Moe Peters Band. Steve Huey, All Music Guide see all copies from $4.35! new only from $4.35!
24 view cover	The Things That I Used to Do [Ace] (1991) more music like this by Guitar Slim see all copies from $15.62! new only from $15.62!
25 view cover	Live in Montreux (1977) more music like this by Buddy Guy No blues tandem in recent memory has given more alternately brilliant and infuriating performances as the duo of Junior Wells and Buddy Guy. They can inspire or anger, stimulate or disgust, amaze or bore. They were in a great groove during the selections recorded at this concert for Isabel. They have been recently reissued with two bonus cuts as ... see all copies from $2.61! new only from $10.21!
