His Best (Chess 50th Anniversary Collection)

His Best (Chess 50th Anniversary Collection) (1997) more music like this

by Little Walter

As MCA reconfigures their Chess catalog, this 20-track single-disc compilation now takes the place of their original 12-track Best of Little Walter collection, a landmark blues album which had remained in print for over three decades. His Best (Chess 50th Anniversary Collection) reprises ten of those seminal tracks (leaving off the echoey "Blue ...

Blues with a Feeling

Blues with a Feeling (1995) more music like this

by Little Walter

A 40-song double CD of material that didn't appear on The Essential Little Walter. Much of this is pretty rare, having only appeared on long unavailable singles or hard-to-get import LPs; almost a dozen, in fact, had not previously been officially released anywhere. Its appeal isn't limited to collectors, though. Anyone who likes a Little Walter ...

by Various Artists

Chess Blues is a superlative four-CD box set featuring important tracks by all the main stars of the label (Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, Sonny Boy Williamson), as well as much previously unreleased material. A well-done retrospective of Chicago blues in its heyday, as recorded by America's greatest blues label, Chess. Cub Koda, All ...

Blues Masters, Vol. 16: More Harmonica Classics

Blues Masters, Vol. 16: More Harmonica Classics (1998) more music like this

by Various Artists

With such a wealth of great harmonica blues out there, and with such an outstanding track record on Rhino's part in general when it comes to historical compilations, it's no surprise that their second anthology of harmonica blues is just as good as the first. There are fine cuts by many big guns here, including Little Walter, both Sonny Boy ...

Blues Never Die

Blues Never Die (1994) more music like this

by Charlie Musselwhite

This may be a fairly solid overview of Musselwhite's career (from the late '60s to the present -- with some previously unreleased tracks, including the title cut), but it is not the best introduction to the artist. For that, his Vanguard '60s output is still recommended, along with the 1984 session on Blue Rock'it and Alligator's In My Time. Fine ...

Vanguard Blues Sampler

Vanguard Blues Sampler (1996) more music like this

by Various Artists

A dozen-plus-one tracks drawn from Vanguard Records' '60s-era rediscovery blues catalog, this sampler is OK as far as it goes, but it isn't anything special, save for Skip James' delicate version of his "I'm So Glad," Mississippi John Hurt's gentle and mellow take on "Corrina, Corrina," and Otis Spann's piano workout on "Spann's Stomp." Steve ...

Best of the Vanguard Years (2000) more music like this

by Charlie Musselwhite

This 20-track collection of Musselwhite's early days shows that even back then the man could blow effectively in a variety of settings. In addition to the groundbreaking recordings he made with his own group, this also includes Musselwhite backing John Hammond on two tracks and a duet with Walter Horton from the Chicago, The Blues Today! sessions ...

Where's My Money?

Where's My Money? (1984) more music like this

by Billy Branch & the Sons of Blues

Slightly scattershot 1984 LP, originally released on the now-defunct Red Beans logo, that hits more than it misses. At its best -- the sardonic title track, a couple of vocals by veteran pianist Jimmy Walker, a stunning "Son of Juke" that spotlights Branch's harp wizardry -- it's a fine introduction to the SOBs' multi-faceted attack. Bill Dahl, ...

The Best of Little Walter [Chess] (1988) more music like this

by Little Walter

If there's a blues harmonica player alive today who doesn't have a copy of this landmark album in their collection, they're either lying or had their copy of it stolen by another harmonica player. This 12-song collection is the one that every harmonica player across the board cut their teeth on. All the hits are here: "My Babe," "Blues with a ...

Live at Theresa's 1975 (2006) more music like this

by Junior Wells

Recorded at two separate gigs in January 1975 but not issued until 2006, this captures Junior Wells on-stage at Theresa's, one of the most esteemed Chicago blues clubs. It's a little rawer than most live albums; the sound is good, and Wells is in good form, but his band is a little rough (and, particularly on the tracks with guitarist Sammy ...

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 ...

All-Star Blues Jam (2003) more music like this

by Bob Margolin

Bob Margolin, former lead guitar player for Muddy Waters, has assembled a stellar cast of Chicago musicians for All-Star Blues Jam. These are all longtime veteran players with pedigrees in Howlin' Wolf's and Waters' bands among others, with the exception of Mookie Brill on vocals, bass, and harmonica, who more than holds his own with this fine ...

Blow'n the Blues: Best of the Great Harp Players (2000) more music like this

by Various Artists

Subtitled "best of the great harp players," this pulls tracks from various Vanguard releases from the 1960s. Kicking off with five tracks from Junior Wells and five more from James Cotton, the set moves to pick up performances of Big Walter Horton behind Johnny Shines and a duet with a very young Charlie Musselwhite. Musselwhite has four tracks as ...

The Best of Chess Blues, Vol. 1 (1990) more music like this

by Various Artists

Yet another of many Chess starter discs, Best of Chess Blues, Vol. 1 offers a slim but strong mix of classic Chicago blues from the late ‘40s through the ‘50s. Including several key electric blues cuts and plenty seeds from which both early rock ‘n' roll and the bluesier side of the British Invasion took inspiration, the 14 tracks touch on ...

The Blues, Vol. 1 [Chess/MCA] (1990) more music like this

by Various Artists

Even though Chess should be releasing collections with more than just over 30 minutes of music on them, this thin blues roundup from the legendary Chicago label's vaults still works well enough as a sampler of vintage electric blues. Recorded between 1952 and 1960, the 12 tracks spotlight such legends as Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, ...

Magic Touch (1966) more music like this

Another rare glimpse at Magic Sam hard at work, this time at another fabled West side haunt, Sylvio's, in 1966. No saxes this time, but uncle Shakey Jake was around for a few guest shots, while bassist Mac Thompson and drummer Odie Payne provide supple backing as Sam launches into another terrific set of numbers that for the most part he never ...
