1	Nice & Warm (1992) more music like this by Tab Benoit Tab Benoit's debut album Nice & Warm is a startingly fresh debut. The guitarist has a gutsy, fuel-injected style that adds real spice to his swampy blues. Benoit draws equally from the Louisiana and Texas traditions and Nice & Warm proves it; not only does he carry on the tradition, he offers a fresh take on it as well. Thom Owens, All Music ... see all copies from $4.48! new only from $15.18!
2	Blues at Sunset (1973) more music like this by Albert King see all copies from $9.91! new only from $9.91!
3	The Essential Blues [House of Blues] (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Essential Blues is an attempt to trace the evolution of the music from the Mississippi Delta to Chicago and other modern, urban cities. It does a fairly good job in providing a brief history, but the main strength of the collection simply comes from the music. Featuring cuts from Lightnin' Hopkins, Howlin' Wolf, B.B. King, Slim Harpo, Junior ... see all copies from $6.98! new only from $19.99!
4	The Chess Box (1991) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf This three-CD box set currently rates as the best -- and most digestible -- overview of Howlin' Wolf's career. Disc one starts with the Memphis sides that eventually brought him to the label, including hits like "How Many More Years," but also compiling unissued sides that had previously only been available on vinyl bootlegs of dubious origin and ... see all copies from $37.35! new only from $37.35!
5	A Long Time Comin' (1968) more music like this by The Electric Flag Writer Jeff Tamarkin says "ex Butterfield Band guitarist Mike Bloomfield, drummer Buddy Miles, and others put this soul-rock band together in 1967. This debut is a testament to their ability to catch fire and keep on burnin'." That The Electric Flag do so well -- they appeared at the Monterey International Pop Festival with the Blues Project, Paul ... see all copies from $3.95! new only from $5.11!
6	The Real Folk Blues/More Real Folk Blues (2002) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf The Real Folk Blues series on Chess wasn't really folk, but titled that way, perhaps to gain the attention of young white listeners who had started to get turned on to the blues during the 1960s folk revival. And the Howlin' Wolf volumes in the series were not particularly more folk-oriented than his other Chess recordings, but more or less ... see all copies from $10.96! new only from $10.96!
7	Live at Winterland (1987) more music like this by Jimi Hendrix Experience Jimi Hendrix's sonic assaults and attacks hypnotized, frightened, and amazed audiences in the late '60s. His studio recordings helped him attain his reputation, but his live works validated it. That's the case on the 13 songs from a 1968 Winterland concert that made their way onto CD in 1987. Whether he was doing short, biting songs like "Fire" or ... see all copies from $26.50!
8	I Hear Some Blues Downstairs (1977) more music like this by Fenton Robinson A bit of a disappointment in its inconsistency following such a mammoth triumph as his previous set, yet not without its mellow delights. The title track is atypically playful; Robinson's revisiting of the mournful "As the Years Go Passing By" is a moving journey, and his T-Bone Walker tribute "Tell Me What's the Reason" swings deftly... Bill ... see all copies from $7.19! new only from $10.81!
9	Old Glory: The Best of Electric Flag (1995) more music like this by The Electric Flag A perfect single-disc anthology of a band with what seemed like unlimited potential, but in reality limited output and few quality studio recordings that accurately reflected its combined musicianship. Like its musical cousins, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Electric Flag was one of the first bands to combine rock with big-band jazz swagger. This concept ... see all copies from $5.11! new only from $5.11!
10	Back in Chicago: Jammin' with Willie Kent and the Gents (1997) more music like this by Freddie Roulette Roulette is a fine blues lap steel player, and this disc should have you sliding around the room from the get-go. A tight band featuring Vernon "Chico" Banks on rhythm guitar and bass and Cleo Williams on drums keeps everything nice and funky throughout. His hearty vocals add a nice backbone to the songs, and his use of Hawaiian coloring on many ... see all copies from $9.89! new only from $10.25!
11 view cover	The Promised Land [Columbia] (1995) more music like this by Original Soundtrack see all copies from $1.99!
12 view cover	The Oil Man (1987) more music like this by Big Jack Johnson With his barbed-wire guitar work and hearty vocal on a marathon rendition of "Catfish Blues," Johnson hauls the time-honored Delta tradition into contemporary blues. The entire album is an eminently solid, doggedly down-home affair, though nothing else quite measures up to the powerhouse attack of that one vicious workout. Bill Dahl, All Music ... see all copies from $10.30! new only from $10.30!
13 view cover	The Alligator Records 20th Anniversary Tour (1993) more music like this by Various Artists Recorded on live on Alligator Records' 20th Anniversary Tour, this double disc set is a showcase for the label's artists. Featuring an array of their most popular acts -- Koko Taylor, Lonnie Brooks, Lil' Ed and the Blues Imperials, Elvin Bishop -- the record doesn't deliver any surprises, yet these performances are frequently more exciting than ... see all copies from $9.77! new only from $9.77!
14 view cover	A Tribute to Howlin' Wolf (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Unlike most tribute albums, Telarc's A Tribute to Howlin' Wolf plays it pretty close to the vest, rounding up members of Wolf's backing band -- including guitarist Hubert Sumlin, pianist Henry Gray and drummer Sam Lay -- to support the musicians paying tribute. As a result, the album has a more coherent sound than most tribute records, but that ... see all copies from $10.06! new only from $10.06!
15 view cover	Blues Deluxe (1998) more music like this by Rick Derringer see all copies from $11.57! new only from $11.57!
16 view cover	Smoke N' Fire (1993) more music like this by Smokey Wilson Transplanted Mississippian Smokey Wilson has made plenty of records, but usually for poorly distributed regional labels. So although he is far from a newcomer, he might as well be a fledgling rookie to the average listener. The songs, aside from the lyrically commendable but awkward "Don't Burn Down L.A.," are primarily his own urgent expositions ... see all copies from $10.50! new only from $15.37!
17 view cover	Blue Suit: Eleventh Anniversary Collection (1998) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $2.00! new only from $7.71!
18 view cover	The Real Folk Blues (1966) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf This was originally released by Chess in 1966 to capitalize on the then-current folk music boom. The music, however -- a collection of Howlin' Wolf singles from 1956 to 1966 -- is full-blown electric, featuring a nice sampling of Wolf originals with a smattering of Willie Dixon tunes. Some of the man's best middle period work is aboard here; ... see all copies from $1.99!
19 view cover	Radio One (1989) more music like this by Jimi Hendrix Experience Seventeen songs from 1967 BBC broadcasts, when the Jimi Hendrix Experience had yet to burn out from the wheel of constant touring, management hassles, and internal strife. They're in good, enthusiastic form as they run through early gems like "Hey Joe," "Foxy Lady," "Fire," and "Stone Free," the lack of studio polish giving these versions a loose ... see all copies from $4.29!

21 view cover	A Salute to the Chicago Blues Masters (2000) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $29.65!
22 view cover	Cold Blood (1997) more music like this by Big Bad Smitty see all copies from $7.31! new only from $22.49!
23 view cover	Moment of Truth (2001) more music like this by Glen Fortinberry see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
24 view cover	Masters (1998) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf If you're expecting these to be Wolf's celebrated Chess recordings, guess again. Despite the hyperbole in the title, what this 16-tracker offers instead is a package divided evenly between tracks from 1971's London Howlin' Wolf Sessions -- a session so uninspired that Eric Clapton has frequently disparaged his participation on it -- and a live ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $7.75!
