1	Takin' My Time (1973) more music like this by Bonnie Raitt This album is an overlooked gem in the catalog of Bonnie Raitt. On Takin' My Time, she wears her influences proudly in an eclectic musical mix containing blues, jazz, folk, New Orleans R&B, and calypso. Although she did not write her own material for this album, she demonstrates an excellent ear for songs and chooses material from some of the best ... see all copies from $6.24! new only from $7.03!
2	Ocean or a Teardrop (2004) more music like this by David Jacobs-Strain Already established as a major young figure in the blues, David Jacobs-Strain widens his horizons a bit with this album. Blues remains at the roots, but in some cases, such as the adventurous "Earthquake" or the lyrical "Illinois," it's a little obscured by the branches overhead. That's not to say he's entirely turning his back on what begat him: ... see all copies from $6.98! new only from $8.95!
3	Heroes of the Blues: The Very Best of Fred McDowell (2003) more music like this by Mississippi Fred McDowell Discovered by Alan Lomax in 1959, Mississippi Fred McDowell quickly established himself as one of the finest country bluesmen to ever come out of Mississippi. With his strong, nuanced vocals and his rapid, slashing slide style, McDowell had few equals. This collection pulls together several of his mid-'60s recordings, including his signature song ... see all copies from $8.91! new only from $8.91!
4	Mississippi Fred McDowell [Rounder] (1971) more music like this by Mississippi Fred McDowell Tracks drawn from a 1962 recording of McDowell playing in his Como, Mississippi house. The recordings were initially made purely as a document of a performer and a style, but eventually found their way to record and, finally, to compact disc. Somewhat raw, though the sound is actually very good, the recordings caught McDowell at his best, playing ... see all copies from $16.06! new only from $16.06!
5	You Gotta Move (1993) more music like this by Mississippi Fred McDowell You Gotta Move is an excellent 19-track compilation of Mississippi Fred McDowells best-known work, spotlighting his Mississippi Delta slide guitar virtuosity, as well as his superior songwriting skills; perhaps most familiar to many listeners is the title track, which inspired a Rolling Stones cover version on the group's classic Sticky Fingers ... see all copies from $10.94! new only from $15.11!
6	The Best of Mississippi Fred McDowell (2001) more music like this by Mississippi Fred McDowell Mississippi Fred McDowell lays down Delta blues as though time pretty much stood still. Discovered by Alan Lomax in the late '50s, his career as an authentic bluesman took off in the '60s, thanks to Arhoolie. The Best of Mississippi Fred McDowell showcases the singer's gritty vocals and slide guitar on some of his best '60s work. The power of ... see all copies from $15.33! new only from $15.33!
7	Preachin' the Blues: The Music of Mississippi Fred McDowell (2002) more music like this by Various Artists Instead of getting all of the artists into the studio with a full band for their tribute album Preachin' the Blues: The Music of Mississippi Fred McDowell, Telarc had most of the featured artists (all but two of 12, actually) perform with just a guitar and voice (or, in the case of David Maxwell, a piano). This, of course, brought the musicians ... see all copies from $16.06! new only from $16.06!
8	A Salute to the Delta Blues Masters (2002) more music like this by Various Artists This box set packages three of Telarc's blues tribute releases, a series that features contemporary blues artists performing songs made famous by earlier blues players. Included in the box are the albums Hellhound on My Trail, which pays tribute to Robert Johnson, Preachin' the Blues, honoring Mississippi Fred McDowell, and Down the Dirt Road, ... see all copies from $34.85! new only from $34.85!
9	Philadelphia Folk Festival: 40th Anniversary (2001) more music like this by Various Artists This whopping five-disc set commemorates the Philadelphia Folk Festival's 40th anniversary. There's definitely no shortage of music here, each of the five discs filled to the brim. And there's also no shortage of folk superstars, either. Some of the more noteworthy performances include Fairport Convention's "Walk a While," Bonnie Raitt's "Talkin' ... see all copies from $43.80! new only from $43.80!
