Blues Classics: Millennium Collection - 20th Century Masters

Blues Classics: Millennium Collection - 20th Century Masters (2003) more music like this

by Various Artists

There is no doubt that all of the tracks on this collection are indeed blues classics. B.B. King's "The Thrill Is Gone," Muddy Waters' "Got My Mojo Working," and Big Mama Thornton's "Hound Dog" are just three of the signature songs found here. With so many blues anthologies on the market, though, this compilation suffers for its brief length, and ...

Chess Pieces: The Very Best of Chess

Chess Pieces: The Very Best of Chess (2005) more music like this

by Various Artists

Although Chess Records is generally regarded as a blues label, the imprint, owned and run by brothers Leonard and Phil Chess, actually released a fair amount of R&B, early soul, gospel, nascent rock & roll, and the occasional jazz title, and as this powerful two-disc set shows, the range of classic music that came out of the label's Chicago ...

Rage in Harlem

Rage in Harlem (1990) more music like this

by Original Soundtrack

Once again, Sire's stalwart period music maven, Andy Paley, has been dragged out of the closet to do things to the soundtrack of a movie set in a 20th-century historical time frame -- in this case, it's the very early '60s, going by the use of James Brown's "Please Please Please," and the movie is Bill Duke's A Rage In Harlem. The album, packed ...

Vanguard Visionaries

Vanguard Visionaries (2007) more music like this

by Charlie Musselwhite

This ten-cut compilation is representative of the earliest recordings by Charlie Musselwhite as a solo act who led his own bands after coming out from under the shadows of his Delta and Chicago mentors. Everything here has been released before and the previous two compilations of his work on Vanguard featured more than half of this material. For ...

Vanguard: Roots of the Blues

Vanguard: Roots of the Blues (2002) more music like this

by Various Artists

This three-CD set draws from the Vanguard catalog of blues performances, focusing, apparently, mostly on recordings from the 1960s. "Apparently" because, in an act of negligence, no original recording or release dates are given for any of the 45 songs, except for four previously unreleased tracks done at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival and one done ...

Stray Dog Blues (2006) more music like this

by Little Walter

Louisiana-born Chicago blues harp legend Little Walter and British playwright Joe Orton had one nasty thing in common. Each was beaten to death with a hammer -- Orton at the age of 34 in London on August 9, 1967 and Walter at the age of 37 in Chicago on February 14, 1968. Two very different lives were both abruptly terminated with grisly violence. ...

Blowin' the Blues (2008) more music like this

by Little Walter

Although he sang on occasion, and played guitar, too, Little Walter will always be revered for his harmonica skills, and in his own way he was the John Coltrane of the instrument, creating and shaping the sound of the "Mississippi saxophone" into the very template of the Chicago blues style, and any short list of blues harp players starts with ...

The Ultimate Blues Collection [Castle] (1990) more music like this

by Various Artists

At its release in 1990 this was an impressive introduction to modern blues through a number of the genre's bigger stars. Given it is only a double album, it also gave a good overview of various blues styles and periods. But looking back, time hasn't been too kind to some of the tracks that felt natural to include in 1990, like Gary Moore's "King ...
