1	The Definitive Collection (2007) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf At six foot three and 270 pounds, Chester Burnett was a bear of a man, but his voice, rough and harsh as broken Delta glass, was what really gave him dimension. A powerful blues shouter out of the Charley Patton mold, Burnett (or Howlin' Wolf, as he came to be known) brought a feral fire to his vocals that made him sound like a gale force ... see all copies from $12.44! new only from $12.44!
2	His Best (1997) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf With the exception of a vinyl compilation issued in the early '80s (His Greatest Sides, Vol. 1), there'd never really ever been a single-disc Howlin' Wolf best-of package available. That all changed with this entry in MCA/Chess' 50th Anniversary series, a 20-track retrospective that serves as the perfect introduction to the man and his music, some ... see all copies from $12.87! new only from $17.64!
3	The Chess Box (1989) more music like this by Willie Dixon This was the most unusual, and probably the most difficult to assemble of MCA's Chess Box series, mostly because of the unusual nature of Willie Dixon's contribution to Chess Records. To be sure, Dixon rates a place in the history of the label right alongside that of Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, and Little Walter, but his role was more subtle than ... see all copies from $22.26! new only from $22.26!
4	Kojak Variety [Expanded] (2004) more music like this by Elvis Costello Elvis Costello recorded the 15 songs that comprised his covers album Kojak Variety in 1990, but the album sat in the vaults for five years, with some songs trickling out on soundtracks, with the entire album eventually leaking out as a bootleg prior to its release in 1995. Given this slow, steady crawl to release and the nature of bootlegs and B ... see all copies from $38.79! new only from $38.79!
5	Rockabilly Psychosis and the Garage Disease (1989) more music like this by Various Artists Big Beat's Rockabilly Psychosis and the Garage Disease delivers just what the title promises, collecting cult garage rock tracks like "My Daddy Is a Vampire," "Radioactive Kid," "Dateless Night," and "Jack on Fire." "Psycho" and "Crusher" are also good examples of what this underground garage collection has to offer. Heather Phares, All Music ... see all copies from $25.55! new only from $25.55!
6	Jack the Ripper (1963) more music like this by Link Wray see all copies from $5.00! new only from $16.37!
7	Early Recordings (1979) more music like this by Link Wray Drawn from the one LP and the dozen or so singles Link Wray recorded for Swan Records between 1963 and 1966, Early Recordings, first released in this configuration by Chiswick Records in 1978, remains the best single-disc introduction to this powerful guitar player, even though, at 32 minutes in length, it falls on the brief side. No matter. It ... see all copies from $12.70! new only from $12.70!
8	20 Rock & Roll Hits of the 50's & 60's (1984) more music like this by Thee Milkshakes On 20 Rock & Roll Hits of the 50's & 60's, thee Milkshakes attempt to inject new life into some old chestnuts and succeed, to a point. Billy Childish and Mickey Hampshire both shred things up vocally and their guitars growl and sting in all the right places, while the lo-fi recording gives the set an authentic feel full of vim and vigor. Their ... see all copies from $14.90! new only from $14.90!
9	If the Good Lord's Willing (2000) more music like this by Quadrajets see all copies from $12.20! new only from $13.59!
10	Kojak Variety (1995) more music like this by Elvis Costello With Almost Blue, Elvis Costello wanted to be a honky tonker. With Kojak Variety, he's a crooner, picking forgotten tunes by both minor and major artists (anyone from Screamin' Jay Hawkins to Bob Dylan). From his song selections to the pseudo-avant-rock/R&B band, Costello doesn't make any obvious moves. Yet that doesn't mean that the record is ... see all copies from $6.00!

13 view cover	All Punk Rods: A Gearhead Magazine Compilation (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Gearhead magazine helped put together this compilation of established bands and up-and-comers, featuring contributions from Man or Astro-Man?, Gas Huffer, Servotron, the Nomads, the Quadrajets, the Peechees, the Hi-Fives, the Smugglers, the Splash 4, the Demonics, the Dragons, and the Donnas.

14 view cover	The Chess Box (1991) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf This three-CD box set currently rates as the best -- and most digestible -- overview of Howlin' Wolf's career. Disc one starts with the Memphis sides that eventually brought him to the label, including hits like "How Many More Years," but also compiling unissued sides that had previously only been available on vinyl bootlegs of dubious origin and ... see all copies from $37.06! new only from $37.06!

16 view cover	Tore Up (1984) more music like this by Nappy Brown & The Heartfixers After too many years during which he was missing and presumed forever lost in action, Brown returned to prominence with this very credible album, cut with backing by guitarist Tinsley Ellis and the Heartfixers and originally issued on the tiny Landslide logo. He reprises his salacious blues "Lemon Squeezin' Daddy" and rolls his R's like the good ... see all copies from $16.37! new only from $16.37!
17 view cover	Hubert Sumlin's Blues Party (1987) more music like this by Hubert Sumlin Hubert Sumlin was Howlin' Wolf's guitar player for 23 years, and his jagged, desperate, and angular guitar playing was a big part of Wolf's rough-and-tumble sound. This album was recorded in October 1986 at Newbury Sound in Boston, 11 years after Wolf's death, and although Sumlin had headlined some European albums, it was to be his debut solo ... see all copies from $5.25! new only from $5.25!

19 view cover	Rumble! The Best of Link Wray (1993) more music like this by Link Wray Finally, a multi-label Link Wray collection spanning his lengthy career is available. Starting, appropriately enough, with "Rumble," Rumble! The Best of Link Wray illustrates through its 20 tracks (15 on cassette) that Wray was indeed one of the pioneering guitarists of rock & roll, expanding the sonic possibilities of the instrument with a ... see all copies from $9.55! new only from $9.55!

21 view cover	Burning/I Turned My Nights into Days (1998) more music like this by Jim Byrnes In 1998, Stony Plain released Burning/I Turned My Nights into Days, which contained two complete albums -- Burning (1981, originally released on Polygram) and I Turned My Nights into Days (1987, originally released on Stony Plain) -- by bluesman and sometime-actor Jim Byrnes on one compact disc.
