1	The Complete Studio Recordings (2000) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt Although not as consistently magnificent as Hurt's 1928 recordings, the performances the artist recorded for Vanguard in the mid 1960's would be the zenith of many blues artist's entire careers. Songs like the opening "Payday" and "Poor Boy, Long Ways From Home" rank with any folk-blues song ever recorded. This fantastic set collects the three ... see all copies from $20.13! new only from $20.13!
2	The Essential Collection (2004) more music like this by Bill Morrissey Rounder's celebration of Bill Morrissey's 20th anniversary as a recording artist, dubbed The Essential Collection, is a hearty 20-track collection culling at least one track from each record he's released over the years, except for the duet album with Greg Brown, Friend of Mine. The label did a fine job assembling the tracks with a comfortable ... see all copies from $9.50! new only from $14.70!
3	Kansas City Shout (1980) more music like this by Count Basie This session from 1980 helps to recreate the atmosphere of '30s Kansas City. Featured are the great blues singer Joe Turner and the strong singer and altoist Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson, along with the Count Basie Orchestra. "Just a Dream," "Everyday I Have the Blues," "Cherry Red" and "Stormy Monday" receive very spirited renditions, as do some ... see all copies from $10.69! new only from $10.69!
4	Southern Journey, Vol. 8: Velvet Voices (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Recorded mostly in Virginia in 1960 (two recordings were made in St. Simon's Island, Georgia), this documents African-American folk musics of the region, focusing mostly on gospel quartets, although there are also some fife-and-banjo tunes. This has to count as one of the more accessible installments in the Southern Journey series; the singing is ... see all copies from $7.57! new only from $15.38!
5	King of Chicago Blues [Proper] (2006) more music like this by Muddy Waters see all copies from $13.99! new only from $19.39!
6	D.C. Blues: Library of Congress Recordings (2004) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt Mississippi John Hurt was easily the most accessible of all the 1920s bluesmen rediscovered still alive and in playing condition in the early 1960s. His easy, gentle singing voice and deft guitar picking abilities were still intact and undiminished, and where some of his hard-living contemporaries suffered from alcoholism, Alzheimer's, or just ... see all copies from $15.38! new only from $15.38!
7	Nat King Cole at the Sands [Reissue] (2002) more music like this by Nat King Cole A year after Nat King Cole's death, Capitol Records released this "live" album, recorded at the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas on January 14, 1960. There is a historical interest, in that this is the only Cole concert recording, and it's an enjoyable performance, with more up-tempo numbers than ballads and a piano solo on "Where or When" that ... see all copies from $10.73! new only from $10.73!
8	Breaking Out of New Orleans 1922-1929 (2004) more music like this by Various Artists JSP's Breaking Out of New Orleans compiles four CDs with 101 tracks containing a mixture of both rare and classic jazz from the '20s, including the Original Tuxedo Jazz Band, Piron's New Orleans Orchestra, Red Onion Jazz Babies, Cookie's Generals, New Orleans Wanderers, and Chicago Footwarmers. While this set excludes solo recordings by Louis ... see all copies from $25.71! new only from $25.71!
9	Savoy Blues Legends: Candy! (1956) more music like this by Big Maybelle The belter moved over to Newark, NJ-based Savoy midway through the decade and continued to prosper: "Candy," "Ramblin' Blues," and the intense "Blues Early, Early" rate with her finest cuts. "Ring Dang Dilly" and "Tell Me Who" rock with the seemingly effortless swing peculiar to New York's R&B scene at the time, thanks to the presence of saxists ... see all copies from $26.20! new only from $26.20!
10	Texas Songster, Vol. 2: You Got to Reap What You Sow [Bonus Tracks] (1993) more music like this by Mance Lipscomb Mance Lipscomb was a great songster, someone who knew hundreds of songs and could deliver any and all of them in different but effective ways. He sang blues, spirituals, old folk numbers, and his own tunes. Lipscomb had few rivals when it came to telling stories, setting up situations, creating characters, and depicting incidents. This 24-song ... see all copies from $16.37! new only from $16.37!
11 view cover	Mr. Rhythmist Goes to Town (1999) more music like this by Mora's Modern Rhythmists Mora's Modern Rhythmists stand out from the retro-swing field both in their very high quality and the fact that the group sounds like a fairly original big band from 1932-1935 rather than looking toward Louis Prima for inspiration. On its second CD, the ten-piece group (six horns and four rhythm with Dean Mora, trumpeter Jim Ziegler, guitarist ... see all copies from $15.29! new only from $15.29!
12	W.C. Handy's Beale Street: Where the Blues Began (2003) more music like this by Carl Wolfe & Orchestra see all copies from $14.59! new only from $14.59!
13 view cover	Avalon Blues (1963) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt This is the first in a multiple-volume series devoted to the Piedmont recordings Hurt made upon his rediscovery in the early '60s. They capture him with his playing and singing still intact, untouched by the world around him, a world that had changed so much since he initially recorded back in the '20s. Many of his best-known tunes are here -- ... see all copies from $5.24! new only from $14.96!

15 view cover	The Big Band, Vol. 1 (1992) more music like this by Milt Jackson/Count Basie Producer Norman Granz conceived the pairing of Milt Jackson with Count Basie, first on stage at Montreux in a small group, then in the studio with the pianist's full band for this 1978 session, which produced two albums' worth of music. Although Basie had never before used a vibraphonist with his band, Jackson proves to be an excellent fit. In ... see all copies from $10.18! new only from $10.18!

18 view cover	Songs of Mississippi John Hurt (1999) more music like this by Bill Morrissey As Morrissey's rep is built solidly on the fine storytelling abilities so well-crafted in his original songs, it may come as a surprise to hear him in this setting, turning in equally compelling takes on Mississippi John Hurt material. Utilizing various settings and lineups to recast the material in terms other than the typical solo-acoustic ... see all copies from $4.92! new only from $14.70!
19 view cover	Shoutin' the Blues [Catfish] (2000) more music like this by Big Joe Turner This is an excellent collection of Big Joe Turner's early blues sides from the '40s. Cut before Turner gained widespread fame scoring rock & roll hits for Atlantic, the 26 cuts here were recorded on both coasts while the singer notched up a slew of gigs nationwide. Working for several labels, including RPM, Aladdin, and MGM, Turner waxed immortal ... see all copies from $14.22! new only from $14.22!

21 view cover	Let the Good Times Roll, 1948-1963 (1997) more music like this by Link Davis Given the sheer length of Link Davis' career, it's surprising that this 20-track CD, covering highlights across 15 years of recording, is the only compilation out on him -- on the other hand, the diversity of his music also makes it difficult to quantify in a single survey. The selection covers Davis' own recordings, done for Gold Star, Nucraft, ... see all copies from $15.38! new only from $15.38!
22 view cover	Really Blue (1998) more music like this by Tom Principato Principato's seventh album continues the tradition of strong guitar work coupled with vocals that are less than scintillating but never offensive, wedded to material that's more of a showcase for his playing than it is actual songs. He gives his blues-shuffle-in-E chops a workout on Johnny Jones' "Sweet Little Woman" (a cleaned-up version of the ... see all copies from $5.45! new only from $14.42!
23 view cover	The Muddy Waters Story (2000) more music like this by Muddy Waters see all copies from $7.63! new only from $7.63!
24 view cover	Golden Greats: Greatest Dixieland Jazz (2002) more music like this by Various Artists This is a three-CD budget collection of some of the best in Dixieland jazz performed by many of its biggest stars. The sound quality and performances are quite good, but the lack of discographical information could be discouraging for serious fans. Sean Westergaard, All Music Guide see all copies from $6.50!
25 view cover	Rockin' Boppin' and Blues (2000) more music like this by Nat King Cole Rockin, Boppin and Blues features Nat King Cole's Capitol recordings that were not exclusively focused on the popular romantic music, which often overshadowed the majority of these jazz, blues, and up-tempo tunes. These 18 tracks include "Route 66," "Straighten Up and Fly Right," "Joe Turner Blues" (live), "Send For Me," and "Gee Baby, Ain't I ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $17.98!
