1	Live at the Regal (1965) more music like this by B.B. King B.B. King is not only a timeless singer and guitarist, he's also a natural-born entertainer, and on Live at the Regal the listener is treated to an exhibition of all three of his talents. Over percolating horn hits and rolling shuffles, King treats an enthusiastic audience (at some points, they shriek after he delivers each line) to a collection ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $8.66!
2	Live in Cook County Jail (1971) more music like this by B.B. King B.B. King has cut a lot of albums since the success of Live at the Regal. And, like the live shows they document, none of them are any less than solid and professional, hallmarks of King's work aesthetic. But every so often B.B. truly catches fire; his playing and singing comes up an extra notch or two, and the result is a live album with some ... see all copies from $7.98! new only from $8.57!
3	Thyrty: The 30th Anniversary Collection (2003) more music like this by Lynyrd Skynyrd This one's a tough call in many respects. First, there is the notion of 30 years. Of that time period, only a very short chunk of it produced the tracks listeners consider Lynyrd Skynyrd classics today -- the earliest period when the band was fronted by the late Ronnie Van Zant. Lynyrd Skynyrd may have been influenced by the Allman Brothers with ... see all copies from $5.93! new only from $17.79!
4	Blues Brothers 2000 (1998) more music like this by Original Soundtrack Like the movie itself, the soundtrack to the belated Blues Brothers sequel, Blues Brothers 2000, simply doesn't work as well as its predecessor, despite good intentions all around. Part of the problem, of course, is the absence of John Belushi, who provided a boisterous energy and undeniable charisma that made the Blues Brothers' slick updates of ... see all copies from $4.35! new only from $13.34!
5	Greatest Hits [MCA] (1998) more music like this by B.B. King There's more than one B.B. King best-of out on the racks, but this 1998 issue, Greatest Hits [MCA], updates his chart achievements and puts them together in a modern, 16-track package for both the novice and casual modern blues listener. Kicking off with a pair of tunes from the influential Live at the Regal album ("Sweet Little Angel," "Everyday ... see all copies from $6.98! new only from $13.15!
6	The Best of B.B. King [MCA] (1973) more music like this by B.B. King True, this 1973 vintage best-of album covers a ridiculously slim wedge of time in the blues king's long career. Yet this period was quite significant, for it marks the crest of B.B. King's initial entry into the pop music mass market -- and this album surfs succinctly, if not comprehensively, over the high points of his turn-of-the-decade winning ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $49.95!
7	King of the Blues [Box] (1992) more music like this by B.B. King No way can a mere four discs cover every facet of the blues king's amazing recording career, but MCA makes a valiant stab at it. The first two discs, as expected, are immaculate: opening with his Bullet Records debut ("Miss Martha King"), the box continues with a handful of pivotal RPM/Kent masters before digging into his 1960s ABC-Paramount ... see all copies from $13.50! new only from $52.64!
8	Why I Sing the Blues [MCA] (1992) more music like this by B.B. King MCA Special Products' Why I Sing the Blues collects ten highlights from B.B. King's late-'60s and early-'70s recordings for ABC, which were later acquired by MCA. Considering that this is a budget-priced compilation, and therefore limited in its scope, this isn't a bad sampler at all, containing the hit version of "The Thrill Is Gone," plus good ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $5.49!
9	Live! (1999) more music like this by Fleetwood Mac see all copies from $3.23! new only from $3.23!
10	Original Greatest Hits (2005) more music like this by B.B. King As part of the celebration of B.B. King's 80th birthday Virgin released the double-disc set Original Greatest Hits in September of 2005 -- the week B.B. turned 80. Since there have been so many comps of King's long career, all bearing titles similar to Original Greatest Hits, it's easy to assume that this collection is yet another recycling of the ... see all copies from $10.49! new only from $22.28!
11 view cover	Gold (2006) more music like this by B.B. King Compiling a double-disc set ranging across the long recording career of an artist like B.B. King, who has a longevity in the business that is not only startling but awe-inspiring, is a challenge indeed. Universal's Gold representation of B.B. King covers the years 1963 (14 years after he began) to 1999, so tracks from his platinum Riding with the ... see all copies from $19.19! new only from $19.19!
12 view cover	American Roots Songbook: The Blues from Memphis to the Mississippi Delta (2003) more music like this by Various Artists This brief collection features live performances from several blues artists, and while pleasant enough, there is nothing particularly compelling here. For some reason Bukka White's version of "Shake 'Em On Down" is called "Remembrance of Charlie Patton." Steve Leggett, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
13 view cover	Get It While You Can: The Legendary Sessions (1995) more music like this by Howard Tate Tate's entire Verve output, condensed into a tidy 17-track compilation, including all of his late '60s singles for the label, and one previously unreleased track. Solid period soul with a slight eclectic bent for the blues, gospel, and some pop influences. Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide see all copies from $87.49!
14 view cover	From a Whisper to a Scream [1990 Columbia Reissue] (1990) more music like this by Esther Phillips One of Esther Phillips finest '70s releases, From a Whisper to a Scream is the first of seven albums the singer recorded for CTI offshoot Kudu. Arranged and conducted by Pee Wee Ellis, the December 1971 session also involved principal players such as bassist Gordon Edwards, drummer Bernard Purdie, percussionist Airto, guitarists Cornel Dupree and ... see all copies from $9.99!
15 view cover	Paying the Cost to Be the Boss (1997) more music like this by B.B. King see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.98!
16	Blues, Vol. 1 [Century Home Video] (1995) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $9.99!
17 view cover	London Live '68 (1986) more music like this by Fleetwood Mac see all copies from $5.71!
18 view cover	Live in Japan (1999) more music like this by B.B. King It took 28 years, but in 1999 Live in Japan finally became available in the U.S. Recorded at Sankei Hall in Tokyo on March 4 and 7, 1971, Live in Japan was originally released as a two-LP set in Japan. At the time, King's superb Live in Cook County Jail was a respectable seller for ABC, and the label also planned to release In London -- so ABC ... see all copies from $6.86! new only from $19.19!
19 view cover	Great Blues Masters (2004) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $4.33! new only from $4.33!
20 view cover	His Definitive Greatest Hits (1999) more music like this by B.B. King see all copies from $27.15! new only from $31.79!
21 view cover	The Best of the Early Years (2007) more music like this by B.B. King There have been numerous compilations of the best of B.B. King's recordings for the Modern label in the 1950s and early '60s, and if you've already picked up one of them, there isn't an urgent reason to replace or upgrade it with this CD. If not, however, this certainly makes a good bid to be considered as the best single-disc anthology of this ... see all copies from $16.11! new only from $16.11!
22 view cover	How Blue Can You Get (1982) more music like this by Linda Hopkins A first-class set of belting blues, wailing ballads, and soulful numbers from the versatile veteran. Hopkins has done it all throughout her career, and on this live session, cuts loose on vintage and contemporary 12-bar blues with vigor. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $7.16! new only from $7.16!
23 view cover	Anthology (2000) more music like this by B.B. King MCA's double-disc set Anthology is a bit of a blessing, actually, a welcome entry to B.B. King's extensive catalog, since the last half of his career has not been anthologized often (it was most notably on the box set The King of Blues). Once King's career entered the '70s, he never lost his way, but his recordings became uneven. The situation ... see all copies from $6.00!
24 view cover	Golden Legends (2000) more music like this by B.B. King see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
25 view cover	Jumping at Shadows: The Blues Years (2002) more music like this by Fleetwood Mac/Peter Green This British two-disc collection offers a rather unique look at the Peter Green-era Fleetwood Mac rather than just focusing on the band's output from 1967, immediately after leaving John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, to 1970 when Green left. The set is chock-full of fine studio material that documents the evolution of the band from a power trio to its ... see all copies from $19.52! new only from $19.52!
