1	Louis Jordan & His Tympani Five [JSP] (2001) more music like this by Jordan Louis & His Tympani Five see all copies from $25.23! new only from $26.81!
2	Roots (1962) more music like this by Jimmy Witherspoon Jimmy Witherspoon laid out two great records in 1962 on Reprise, Spoon and this one. Roots places the great blues singer and guitarist in the company of saxophonist Ben Webster, trumpeter Gerald Wilson, and a rhythm section consisting of pianist Ernie Freeman and drummer Jim Miller. The mood is laid-back, down-home, and full of emotion and ... see all copies from $10.72! new only from $10.72!
3	Atomic Boogie (2002) more music like this by Big Joe Turner Although this two-disc set appears to be a collection of tracks by Big Joe Turner and his longtime piano player Pete Johnson, the two only appear together on a half-dozen cuts here, with most of the space given over to Turner, whose trademark mix of jump blues and jazz-inflected R&B, all guided by his powerful vocals, is vintage stuff. Johnson ... see all copies from $26.42! new only from $26.42!
4	1937-1940, Vol. 2 (2005) more music like this by Big Bill Broonzy The second volume in JSP's Big Bill Broonzy retrospective is four discs long, covering the bluesman's years in Chicago and New York. What is astonishing is that there are 100 tracks here. While it's true that there are many alternate takes for the sake of the historical record, nonetheless, when combined with volume one, this accounts for a ... see all copies from $26.68! new only from $26.68!
5	Complete Recorded Works, Vol. 7 (1937-1938) (1992) more music like this by Big Bill Broonzy Big Bill Broonzy's 1930s recordings (reissued in full on this extensive series of Document CDs) are remarkably consistent and have an impressive amount of variety within the blues idiom. During the 11 months covered by this seventh volume, Broonzy recorded as part of three different trios with either Blind John Davis or Joshua Altheimer on piano ... see all copies from $6.48! new only from $14.62!
6	Unissued Test Pressings (1992) more music like this by Big Bill Broonzy Unissued Test Pressings compiles 15 alternate versions of Big Bill Broonzy classics like "WPA Blues," "Married Life Is a Pain" and "Unemployed Stomp," released here with their spoken introductions intact; that alone makes these sides invaluable for scholars, as the intros not only run down the other musicians on the session but also provide ... see all copies from $4.88! new only from $37.31!
7	Shout, Rattle and Roll (2005) more music like this by Big Joe Turner In his informative and wildly irreverent book Unsung Heroes of Rock 'n' Roll, Nick Tosches devotes a chapter to the life and career of blues shouter Big Joe Turner, whom he repeatedly refers to as "a big fat f k." Part of the charm of Tosches' book is he manages to make this sound like a compliment, and after listening to the exhaustive box set ... see all copies from $18.76! new only from $18.76!**
8	Standing at the Crossroads (1995) more music like this by Johnny Shines This is one of several albums this artist made in the early '70s that stand as masterpieces of the acoustic country blues genre. Johnny Shines had begun recording in the mid-'60s, the albums done with electric guitar and full-combo backup, one of them reportedly cut after he hadn't picked up an instrument in years. It was as if he reinvented ... see all copies from $10.58! new only from $10.58!
9	Chicago Calling (1999) more music like this by Big Bill Broonzy Before the rise of Muddy Waters in the 1940s, no artist was more important to the Chicago blues than Big Bill Broonzy. His roots were the country blues of the Mississippi Delta, but when he moved to the Windy City, the singer/guitarist developed a tougher, more muscular and robust approach that had a major impact on Waters and many other Chicago ... see all copies from $10.95! new only from $10.95!
10	Sweet & Swingin' (1998) more music like this by Sugar Ray Norcia After fronting Roomful Of Blues for a half dozen years, Sugar Ray Norcia released this solo collection of tunes that range from bar-band favorites to material he claims he always wanted to record. Far from being just a retro blues album, Norcia digs deep and comes up with nice versions of Arthur Alexander's "You Better Move On" (one of two songs ... see all copies from $26.76! new only from $26.76!
11 view cover	Lonesome Bedroom Blues 1937-1941 (1995) more music like this by Curtis Jones see all copies from $9.59!
12 view cover	Shoutin' the Blues (1999) more music like this by Hot Lips Page see all copies from $19.88!
13 view cover	Good Time Tonight (1990) more music like this by Big Bill Broonzy If you're following the 30-plus year career of Bill Broonzy and already have the two early compilations available on Yazoo, here's where you go next. These are basically ensemble works covering the time frame between 1930 to 1940 and Broonzy sounds very comfortable in the company of Blind John Davis and Joshua Altheimer. The 20 tracks compiled ... see all copies from $11.90!
14 view cover	The Blues [Blue City] (1993) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $33.98!
15 view cover	Man Alive It's the Jumping Jive (1999) more music like this by Louis Jordan For the most part, this double-disc compilation of tracks by Louis Jordan & His Tympany 5 along with other groups features re-recordings of the classic material he cut for Decca. It's immediately apparent in the sound of these sides. That said, it is Jordan, and it can be honestly said that the man never issued a bad recording. If the original ... see all copies from $16.39! new only from $16.39!
16 view cover	Complete Works, Vol. 1 (September 1937 - May 1938) (1995) more music like this by Curtis Jones see all copies from $18.07! new only from $18.07!
17 view cover	Where the Blues Began (2000) more music like this by Big Bill Broonzy Where the Blues Began is an excellent compilation of Big Bill Broonzy's greatest sides from the early to middle years. This Recall set assembles 40 tracks ranging from the late '20s to the late '40s. While sound quality is a little dodgy, it is at least as good as some of the Robert Johnson and Son House sides to be issued officially. In addition ... see all copies from $16.26! new only from $16.26!
18 view cover	Everyday I Have the Blues (1957) more music like this by Joe Williams/Count Basie Joe Williams had enlivened the Count Basie band for so long that it was natural for Basie and company to return the favor on his 1959 solo LP for Roulette. And with a trio of Basie arrangers -- Frank Foster, Ernie Wilkins, Thad Jones -- providing charts for a rather small group here, the results are excellent. Williams focuses in by opening with ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $9.75!
19 view cover	Essential Collection [West End] (2007) more music like this by Louis Jordan When you look for truly essential collections of Louis Jordan, seek no further than this one. All of his best tunes are here, and they are reproduced in fine sonic form from analog to digital: and you can turn up the volume on them for your next, or future house party. One would be hard pressed to criticize or find fault with this double-CD of 51 ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $13.89!
20 view cover	Watch That Jive (2003) more music like this by Big Joe Turner see all copies from $15.75! new only from $15.75!
