1	Blues Spoken Here (1998) more music like this by Dave Specter & Lenny Lynn see all copies from $10.70! new only from $10.70!
2	Classic Blues from Smithsonian Folkways, Vol. 2 (2003) more music like this by Various Artists Like the first volume, this brings together a lengthy single-disc program of blues of various shades from the vaults of Folkways. Most, though not all, of these 22 tracks are acoustic, with acoustic guitar blues being well represented with selections from Leadbelly, Pink Anderson, Son House, Honeyboy Edwards, Big Bill Broonzy, Lightnin' Hopkins, ... see all copies from $10.70! new only from $10.70!
3	Nothin' But the Blues (1983) more music like this by Joe Williams Sticking to blues, Joe Williams is in prime form on this special session. His backup crew includes such all-stars as tenor-saxophonist Red Holloway, organist Brother Jack McDuff and (on alto and one lone vocal) the great Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson. The many blues standards are familiar but these versions are lively and fresh. Scott Yanow, All ... see all copies from $4.29! new only from $13.99!
4	Cleanhead & Cannonball (1988) more music like this by Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson With the Cannonball Adderley Quintet A plethora of "lost" recording dates have popped up since the dawn of the compact disc, especially in the jazz world. Unfortunately, most of them haven't been worth the wait and, indeed, as underwhelming as some of them have been, it might -- at least aesthetically speaking -- have been better had they not been unearthed. Happily, this isn't one ... see all copies from $10.14! new only from $10.14!
5	The Folkways Years: 1959-1973 (2000) more music like this by Memphis Slim These 21 tracks, selected from the recordings Memphis Slim did for Folkways, tend to be in solo piano or sparsely accompanied arrangements, as one would figure since Folkways was a traditionally oriented label. Still, it doesn't sound like a forced or awkward attempt to steer the pianist toward an outdated approach. It's just on the quiet and ... see all copies from $14.78! new only from $14.78!
6	Waiter, Ask the Man to Play the Blues (2004) more music like this by Freddy Cole Freddy Cole may not have been as well known or quite as gifted as his brother Nat, but that doesn't mean he's not a brilliant singer and pianist. This 1964 date for Dot, with bassist Milt Hinton, Sam Taylor on tenor, Osie Johnson on drums, and alternating guitarists Barry Galbraith and Wally Richardson, is a case in point. This is Cole just ... see all copies from $7.81! new only from $7.81!
7	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!
8	Big Blues (1981) more music like this by Jimmy Witherspoon see all copies from $4.18! new only from $14.78!
9	Amsterdam Live Concerts 1953 (2006) more music like this by Big Bill Broonzy There's no shortage of live and studio recordings from Big Bill Broonzy's European appearances during the '50s -- if not as common as Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee live sets, they are out there. That said, this two-CD set is still a dazzling addition to Broonzy's discography, on technical as well as musical grounds. It not only captures him on ... see all copies from $38.96! new only from $38.96!
10	Best of Big Bill Broonzy (2004) more music like this by Big Bill Broonzy see all copies from $24.99! new only from $24.99!
11 view cover	Boppers and the Blues (2003) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $5.98! new only from $5.98!
12 view cover	Blues Legends in London (2003) more music like this by Various Artists In many respects, England was a more hospitable home for the blues in the mid-/late-1950's than America was -- where even labels such as Chicago's Chess usually limited their blues LPs to collections of singles. In England it was possible for artists such as Big Bill Broonzy, Josh White, and Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee to record entire LPs while ... see all copies from $22.74! new only from $22.74!

14 view cover	Legends of the Blues (2000) more music like this by Jimmy Witherspoon & Champion Jack Dupree/Eddie Cleanhead Vinson This slightly odd three-disc set collects work from Jimmy Witherspoon, Champion Jack Dupree, and Eddie Cleanhead Vinson, giving each artist a disc each. Each disc has its merits, and Witherspoon's in particular includes many of his finest recordings. Bill Dahl provides excellent liner notes, but one gets the feeling that Legends of the Blues isn't ... see all copies from $20.00! new only from $20.00!
15 view cover	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!

17 view cover	Complete Recorded Works, Vol. 8 (1938-1939) (1992) more music like this by Big Bill Broonzy Big Bill Broonzy's popularity continued to rise during the five months covered by this CD (the eighth of 11) in Document's "complete" Broonzy series. In addition to 21 studio sides (five previously unissued) made in Chicago, Broonzy is heard performing "Done Got Wise" and "Louise, Louise" at John Hammond's "Spirituals to Swing" concert at Carnegie ... see all copies from $7.35! new only from $7.35!
18 view cover	Harmonica Man: Anthology (2003) more music like this by Paul Lamb & The King Snakes Harmonica Man: Anthology is the first compilation that covers Paul Lamb's entire recording career. This two-CD set collects tracks recorded with the Blues Burglars in the mid-'80s on the Blues Burglars Whoopin' sessions, and material Lamb recorded with his ever-changing lineup, the the King Snakes. His 1994 UK chart single, "Harmonica Man," and ... see all copies from $17.34! new only from $17.34!

20 view cover	She's a Killer (1996) more music like this by Paul Lamb & the King Snakes see all copies from $10.46! new only from $10.46!
21 view cover	Slowburn (1997) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $3.13!
22 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!
23 view cover	On Tour in Britain, 1952: Live in England and Scotland (2002) more music like this by Big Bill Broonzy There are plenty of Big Bill Broonzy albums on the market, but this one is definitely a little special, as it's taken from his first trip to England, where a small but enthusiastic group of fans saw him play on tour. For most, it was their first live exposure to real American blues, certainly of the Mississippi Delta variety, and Broonzy didn't ... see all copies from $24.79! new only from $24.79!
24 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!
