1	Deliverin' (1971) more music like this by Poco Poco had originally made their name as a live act, and they'd always been at their best and most easygoing on-stage. The result is this live album of all-new material, featuring Jim Messina's swan song with the band and some of the tightest playing and best singing in their recorded history. Jewels include "C'mon," "Hear That Music," "Kind Woman," ... see all copies from $5.47! new only from $5.47!
2	The Complete Early Recordings of Skip James (1994) more music like this by Skip James The Complete Early Recordings CD showcases a true guitar virtuoso who was no slouch on the piano either. His break on "Illinois Blues" is almost off-putting in the nonchalance with which he twists the notes around, and "How Long 'Buck'" features him giving forth some funky piano in an almost playful manner. This is a remastered edition of an ... see all copies from $15.98! new only from $15.98!
3	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!
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 $16.21! new only from $16.21!
5	Times Ain't Like They Used to Be, Vol. 7: Early American Rural Music (2003) more music like this by Various Artists Each volume in Yazoo Records' Times Ain't Like They Used to Be series (this one is the seventh installment) collects 1920s and '30s commercial 78s, and taken together they project a vital and energetic rural, early 20th century America of jug and string bands, country blues players, fiddlers, banjoists, sacred singers, and musical roustabouts of ... see all copies from $15.65! new only from $15.65!
6	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." While that claim is a bit of a stretch, the majority of this material does sound ... see all copies from $30.93! new only from $30.93!

10	I'd Rather Be The Devil: The Legendary 1931 Session (2007) more music like this by Skip James They've been reissued as a piece before, and no doubt they'll be reissued together in the future. But here they are again on this 2007 compilation: all 18 surviving tracks that Skip James recorded in February 1931 for Paramount Records, which in fact represented the totality of his output on disc before he was rediscovered in the '60s. It's gotten ... see all copies from $16.28! new only from $16.28!
11 view cover	King of the Blues, Vol. 8 (2003) 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 same bag of floating clichés that showed up in countless other blues songs, his atmospheric recordings, done in 1931 for Paramount, gave James' songs the appearance of tremendous ... see all copies from $29.69! new only from $29.69!
