1	Dark Was the Night (1998) more music like this by Blind Willie Johnson Even in the blues, a style capable of wrenching unexplainable emotions from its audience, Blind Willie Johnson has few equals. With a voice capable of alternating effortlessly between sublime, trembling tenor and the sound of pure gravel, and unparalleled skill with the bottleneck (and knife), Johnson recorded 30 sides for Columbia (1927-1930) ... see all copies from $5.11! new only from $5.11!
2	Blind Willie Johnson and the Guitar Evangelists (2005) more music like this by Blind Willie Johnson/The Guitar Evangelists There is only a slight difference between a street-corner blues singer and a sanctified street singer, since both need to hold a crowd and make a few bucks (no matter what they do with the money when the day is done), and as this four-disc collection of so-called guitar evangelists from the 1920s, '30s, and early '50s makes clear, playing slide ... see all copies from $25.71! new only from $25.71!
3	Praise God I'm Satisfied (1989) more music like this by Blind Willie Johnson Yazoo's Praise God I'm Satisfied is an excellent collection of 14 tracks Blind Willie Johnson recorded in the '30s, including such numbers as "Jesus Make Up My Dying Bed," "Praise God I'm Satisfied," "Rain Don't Fall on Me" and "Jesus Is Coming Soon." These are excellent, haunting recordings, boasting some stellar guitar work, but everything that ... see all copies from $12.49! new only from $15.50!
4	Lead Me On (1995) more music like this by Kelly Joe Phelps This is the real deal -- Phelps performs with the full authority and authenticity of the Delta bluest tradition without ever once sounding like a Folkways museum piece. There's nothing more to it than the 34-year-old's raspy, swamp-infused vocals, lapstyle acoustic guitar played using fingerpicking and slide, and self-accompanied stomp-box ... see all copies from $9.15! new only from $15.36!
5	Early Blues Roots of Led Zeppelin (2007) more music like this by Various Artists This was a great idea. Certainly Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page made no secret of the fact that he had been deeply influenced by blues and that Led Zep was going to be a modern day outlet for the form of American music that inspired him to become a guitarist in the first place. And early Zep certainly borrowed deeply from both blues and folk traditions ... see all copies from $9.32! new only from $9.32!
6	Soul of a Man [Snapper] (2004) more music like this by Blind Willie Johnson Blind Willie Johnson wasn't a blues singer in the generally accepted sense. He was really a singing preacher with a killer slide guitar style and a guttural voice that indicated clearly that he wasn't about to mess around with the small stuff. While many blues singers woke up in the morning wondering where their women went, Johnson woke up ... see all copies from $9.32! new only from $9.32!
7	The World of Gospel, Vol. 2 (1997) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $7.65! new only from $7.65!
8	The Early Blues Roots of Bob Dylan (2000) more music like this by Various Artists The Blues Roots of Bob Dylan collects Dylan's early heroes of the genre, including Sleepy John Estes, Blind Willie McTell, Mississippi John Hurt, Leadbelly, and Bo Carter. These 20 remastered tracks are an excellent sampling of predominantly country blues from the '30s. While listening to these originals, it becomes obvious that Dylan didn't ... see all copies from $10.42! new only from $10.42!
9	Down Home Slide (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Although slide guitar compilations at times seem to proliferate like kudzu, this particular collection has much to recommend adding it to the collection. For openers, there's the inclusion of three previously unreleased live performances from Robert Nighthawk. Playing in a 1964 Chicago concert accompanied by Johnny Young on guitar and mandolin, ... see all copies from $39.26!
10	The Best of Josh White [Elektra] more music like this by Josh White see all copies from $16.00!
11	Nobody's Fault But Mine (2007) more music like this by Blind Willie Johnson Not a blues singer in the generally accepted sense, Blind Willie Johnson was really a singing preacher with a killer slide guitar style and a guttural voice that indicated clearly that he wasn't about to mess around with the small stuff. While many blues singers woke up in the morning wondering where their lovers went, Johnson woke up wondering ... see all copies from $9.57! new only from $9.57!
12 view cover	Gospel, Vol. 3: Guitar Evangelists and Bluesmen 1927-1944 (2002) more music like this by Various Artists Where the first collection in Fremeaux & Associes' gospel series, Gospel, Vol. 1: 1926-1942, was a nice overview of many different styles of gospel and the second edition, Gospel, Vol. 2: Gospel Quartets 1921-1942, focused solely on vocal quartets, the third collection enjoys many of the benefits of diversity featured on volume one, while ... see all copies from $24.53! new only from $24.53!
13 view cover	Blues: 1932-1945 (2002) more music like this by Josh White Josh White had a remarkable talent for self-reinvention, and his career -- which began in the 1920s and stretched essentially uninterrupted all the way into the '60s -- is an amazing story of adaptability and survival. Slick, sly, and fiercely intelligent, White became a sort of pre-Harry Belafonte black sex idol, complete with a leftist social ... see all copies from $31.46! new only from $31.46!
