It's So Hard to Tell Who's Going to Love You the Best (1969) more music like this

by Karen Dalton

Some find Karen Dalton's voice difficult to listen to, and despite the Billie Holiday comparisons, it is rougher going than Lady Day. But Dalton's vocals aren't that hard to take, and they are expressive; like Buffy Sainte-Marie, it just does take some getting used to because of their unconventional timbre. Her debut album has a muted folk-rock ...

A Hard Road [Expanded] (2003) more music like this

by John Mayall's Bluesbreakers w/Peter Green

Some John Mayall fans might be disappointed to find that the radically expanded two-CD edition of A Hard Road actually includes no previously unreleased material, even though it tacks on a whopping 22 additional tracks.

Soul Shake (1987) more music like this

by Angela Strehli

Soul Shake is an excellent album that effectively captures Angela Strehli's gritting, hard-edged roadhouse blues. Not only is her singing gutsy and powerful, the band is tough and the songs are first-rate, making Soul Shake a welcome reminder of the power of straightahead Texas blues-rock.

Pasa Tiempo (2002) more music like this

by Joe Louis Walker

As one of the few roots bluesmen not afraid to experiment with different musical forms, Joe Louis Walker takes a substantial departure from the rest of his catalog on his third album in little over a year. Pasa Tiempo maintains Walker's blues roots, but infuses them with jazz, R&B and soul -- most underpinned by a strong Latin vibe, as the title ...
