1	The Anthology (2001) more music like this by Bobby "Blue" Bland As the quintessential chitlin' circuit R&B/blues star, Memphis-based singer Bobby "Blue" Bland's career has been relatively well-documented on CD. Still, until this 2001 double set, all 25 of his Top Ten R&B hits have not been available in one package. The Anthology is still not a complete career overview though, as it ends in 1982 before his ... see all copies from $18.81! new only from $18.81!
2	Deluxe Edition (2001) more music like this by Johnny Winter Johnny Winter joined Chicago's Alligator Records in 1984 after a four-year recording hiatus. Following 12 generally spotty albums and 11 years associated with Columbia, either on their label or his own Blue Sky imprint (which they distributed), Winter was itching to get back to the sparse, house-rocking, rough Texas blues on which he made his name ... see all copies from $15.24! new only from $15.24!
3	Crucial Slide Guitar Blues (2004) more music like this by Various Artists Alligator has a justifiable reputation as one of the premier blues labels, and it draws on its recorded resources for this compilation. There's certainly no doubting the quality of the players and the music here, from Johnny Winter to the late Hound Dog Taylor, whose raw style sears the ears on Elmore James' "The Sun Is Shining." An older Corey ... see all copies from $6.51! new only from $6.51!
4	Best of the Vanguard Years (1998) more music like this by Junior Wells Best of the Vanguard Years collects Junior Wells' material from the Chicago! The Blues! Today! various-artists series, live and studio tracks from the albums It's My Life, Baby! and Comin' at You, and a smattering of rare and/or unreleased cuts. As a Wells retrospective, it's irredeemably incomplete, covering as it does his output for only one ... see all copies from $8.79! new only from $15.18!
5	Vanguard Visionaries (2007) more music like this by Junior Wells Vanguard Visionaries compiles ten previously released tracks taken from Junior Wells' stint with the label in the mid- to late '60s. These sessions were originally available on the albums It's My Life, Baby! and Coming at You, the compilation Chicago/The Blues/Today, and a few Buddy Guy dates that were also released on Vanguard. Although the ... see all copies from $10.73! new only from $10.73!
6	Live at the Rynborn (1999) more music like this by Luther "Guitar Jr." Johnson Live at the Rynborn was recorded with Luther "Guitar Jr." Johnson's regular New England working band, blowing the roof off the hotel he was living at in 1995. Released on a dime sized local label, it kicked enough noise to be picked for national release by M.C. Records in 1999. The new reissue still reflects the same crude editing between songs in ... see all copies from $7.31! new only from $11.37!
7	It's My Life, Baby! (1966) more music like this by Junior Wells Although It's My Life, Baby! was decent mid-'60s electric Chicago blues, coming so soon after Junior Wells' 1965 classic Hoodoo Man Blues -- one of the greatest blues LPs ever -- it was something of a disappointment. Wells' chief right-hand man for Hoodoo Man Blues, guitarist Buddy Guy, was still on board for these recordings, but the band ... see all copies from $10.79! new only from $10.79!
8	West Wind Blowin: Mountain Top Productions, Vol. 3 [Mountain Top] (1999) more music like this by R.J. Mischo This was Mischo's first album after his move from Minneapolis to San Francisco, and his fifth overall. It's a nice mix of seven originals and eight covers, with two instrumentals. Mischo is one heck of a harp player, a good singer, and an especially proficient songwriter. Obviously the other musicians on the CD agree or you wouldn't see their ... see all copies from $8.54! new only from $10.99!

11 view cover	Rockin' Sugar Daddy (2001) more music like this by Sugar Ray & the Bluetones Kim Wilson-styled vocalist/harmonica player and songwriter Sugar Ray Norcia edges toward Fabulous Thunderbirds territory on his fourth album with his Bluetones band (and first after ending his nearly seven-year tenure with Roomful of Blues). Former T-Bird guitarist Kid Bangham is also on hand to further cement the connection, and with this album's ... see all copies from $14.56! new only from $14.56!
12 view cover	Fixin' Your Head (2000) more music like this by Nick Curran Recorded on vintage equipment in single takes, Nick Curran keeps things simple and swinging on his solo debut. Having played rockabilly with Kim Lenz set Curran's retro-twang cred in stone and the long-time blues aficionado strikes out on his own with the revelatory Fixin' Your Head. With a deep, ringing voice not unlike Amos Milburn or Lloyd ... see all copies from $14.73! new only from $14.73!
13	Essential Texas Blues (1997) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $6.20!
14 view cover	I Pity the Fool: The Duke Recordings, Vol. 1 (1992) more music like this by Bobby "Blue" Bland Everything the young Bland waxed for Duke between 1952 and the 1960 date that produced "Cry, Cry, Cry" and the R&B-laced "Don't Cry No More." From 1955 on, this is uniformly seminal stuff, Bland's vocal confidence growing by the session and buttressed by the consistently innovative riffs and solos of guitarists Clarence Hollimon, Wayne Bennett (he ... see all copies from $18.00!

19 view cover	The Earls of Duke (2007) more music like this by Bobby Bland/Little Junior Parker In the early and mid-'50s, both Bobby "Blue" Bland and Little Junior Parker did quite a bit of recording for the Duke label as their careers were getting off the ground, though both singers had previously recorded for other companies. The Earls of Duke rounds up their 1952-1956 Duke material, the 28 tracks evenly divided between sides cut by Bland ... see all copies from $11.21! new only from $11.21!
