1	David Johansen & the Harry Smiths (2000) more music like this by David Johansen & the Harry Smiths With this album, David Johansen embarks on what could possibly be the fourth phase of his career. His first three, of course, were his tenure as lead singer of the punk rock group the New York Dolls, a solo career as a mainstream rocker under his own name, and a lengthy stint as his nightclub singer alter-ego Buster Poindexter. Like that last ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $14.12!
2	The Complete Aladdin Recordings (1991) more music like this by Lightnin' Hopkins This is where it all began for the Houston troubadour: 43 solo sides, as evocative and stark as any he ever did, from 1946-1948. The first 13 sides find the guitarist in tandem with pianist Wilson "Thunder" Smith (who handles the vocals on a few tracks), but after that, old Lightnin' Hopkins went the solo route. "Katie May," "Short Haired Woman," ... see all copies from $7.82! new only from $9.32!
3	Blues Masters: The Very Best of Lightnin' Hopkins (2000) more music like this by Lightnin' Hopkins Pruning 16 tracks from Hopkins' extensive catalog for a best-of meant that some hard choices had to be made. The ones Rhino came up with won't satisfy everyone, but the label did take the correct road by sticking exclusively to the earliest part of his career, 1947-61. Perhaps the decision will offend some fans who feel that his 1960s and '70s ... see all copies from $8.11! new only from $8.11!
4	The Complete Prestige/Bluesville Recordings (1991) more music like this by Lightnin' Hopkins This is a seven-CD box set that repackages all 11 LPs that Lightnin' Hopkins recorded for Bluesville and Prestige during the first half of the 1960s: Last Night Blues, Lightnin', Blues in My Bottle, Walkin' This Road By Myself, Lightnin' and Co., Smokes Like Lightning, Hootin' the Blues, Goin' Away, Down Home Blues, Soul Blues and My Life in the ... see all copies from $54.25! new only from $54.25!
5	History of the Grateful Dead, Vol. 1 (Bear's Choice) [Bonus Tracks] (2003) more music like this by The Grateful Dead This 1973 release was the very last collection that the Grateful Dead authorized during their tenure with Warner Bros. in the late '60s and early '70s. However, this live disc was a sort of melancholy affair, as it centered on material featuring Ron "Pigpen" McKernan (guitar/vocals/mouth harp), who had left the band due to illness in June of the ... see all copies from $8.32! new only from $8.32!
6	Prestige Profiles, Vol. 8 (2005) more music like this by Lightnin' Hopkins Prestige Profiles, Vol. 8 contains previously released tracks taken from Texas bluesman Lightnin' Hopkins' short stint with the label. These 16 cuts feature both solo and small-combo sessions recorded between 1960 and 1964, and include tasteful versions of such Lightnin' favorites as "Mojo Hand," "Katie Mae," "I'm a Crawling Black Snake," and ... see all copies from $4.29! new only from $5.29!
7	Lightnin' (1961) more music like this by Lightnin' Hopkins Recorded for Prestige's Bluesville subsidiary in 1960 and reissued on CD for Fantasy's Original Blues Classics (OBC) series in 1990, Lightnin' is among the rewarding acoustic dates Lightnin' Hopkins delivered in the early '60s. The session has an informal, relaxed quality, and this approach serves a 48-year-old Hopkins impressively well on both ... see all copies from $4.89! new only from $12.20!
8	Lightnin's Boogie [Past Perfect] (2001) more music like this by Lightnin' Hopkins see all copies from $6.99!
9	Fishing Clothes: The Jewel Recordings 1965-1969 (2001) more music like this by Lightnin' Hopkins These 43 sides offer a very telling portrait of Texas blues giant Lightnin' Hopkins between 1965 and 1969 when he was recording for Jewel. Almost all of these sides are electric, many of them up-tempo idiosyncratic takes on Texas jump blues or far Western versions of Delta music. West Side has done a fine if not exemplary job of cleaning up sound ... see all copies from $24.85! new only from $24.85!

12 view cover	Century of the Blues: The Definitve Country Blues Collection (2003) more music like this by Various Artists The idea is simple enough -- celebrate a century of blues by releasing a four-CD box set with the 100 greatest blues tracks ever. And, to be fair, they have the artists, everyone from Bessie Smith to Robert Johnson, and Muddy Waters to Mississippi John Hurt. But quality is always in the ear of the beholder, and these aren't always the greatest ... see all copies from $30.85! new only from $30.85!
13 view cover	Beginner's Guide to the Blues (2005) more music like this by Various Artists Nascente's three-disc blues box set is a pretty useful introduction to the blues mainly because of the way it is set up, with the first disc featuring country blues selections, most of them from the 1920s and '30s, followed by a disc of electric urban blues, drawn mainly from the '50s, and a last disc of contemporary performers who are attempting ... see all copies from $21.97! new only from $21.97!
14 view cover	Blue on Blues (2002) more music like this by John Lee Hooker & Lightnin' Hopkins In the liner notes, Bill Dahl points out that in many ways, John Lee Hooker and Lightnin' Hopkins were anachronisms. The acoustic country blues that they had grown up with was old hat by the late '40s. Still, both players built a repetition on idiosyncratic styles that had more in common with the old Delta than Muddy Waters. The half-dozen solo ... see all copies from $3.13!

17 view cover	Feel So Bad: The Essential Recordings of Lightnin' Hopkins (2000) more music like this by Lightnin' Hopkins What you get with any Lightnin' Hopkins album is Lightnin', which means a kit bag of his standard slow, medium, and fast Texas blues shuffles with half-improvised lyrics laid over the top, occasionally done with a band, but usually not, and when he is accompanied, the band employed spends most of said tunes trying to figure out just where the ... see all copies from $6.57! new only from $6.57!

19 view cover	Legendary Blues: Men of Blues (2002) more music like this by Various Artists Legendary Blues: Men of Blues is a rather skimpy compilation of ten songs by familiar artists of the genre, including Robert Johnson, Lightnin' Hopkins, and Blind Lemon Jefferson. Also included are lesser-known tracks by Champion Jack Dupree ("Warehouse Man Blues"), Big Bill Broonzy ("I Feel So Good"), and Louis Armstrong ("2/19 Blues").
