1	Folk Singer (1964) more music like this by Muddy Waters Muddy's "unplugged" album was cut in September of 1963 and still sounds fresh and vital today. It was Muddy simply returning to his original style on a plain acoustic guitar in a well-tuned room with Willie Dixon on string bass, Clifton James on drums, and Buddy Guy on second acoustic guitar. The nine tracks are divvied up between full rhythm ... see all copies from $8.34! new only from $8.34!
2	The Anthology: 1947-1972 (2001) more music like this by Muddy Waters There have been countless collections of Muddy Waters' classic Chess material released over the years, but Chess began to whittle down the domestic catalog toward the late '90s. The triple-disc Chess box remained in print, but they added two single-disc collections that each covered a specific period in Waters' career at Chess. Then, in 2001, MCA ... see all copies from $25.20! new only from $25.20!
3	Fathers and Sons [Expanded] (1969) more music like this by Muddy Waters The resurgence of Chicago-based blues in the mid- to late 1960s came with an entirely new breed of icons to bear the torch. Among them were the decidedly electric Paul Butterfield Blues Band. Joining Muddy Waters (guitar/vocals) and Otis Spann (piano) on the aptly titled Fathers and Sons are three Butterfield Blues Band alumni: Michael Bloomfield ... see all copies from $11.82! new only from $11.82!
4	The Definitive Collection [Geffen] (2006) more music like this by Muddy Waters There are scores of Muddy Waters compilations out there, and while it might be overreaching a bit to call this 24-track single-disc set definitive, it is still a mighty good selection, including as it does all of Waters' major singles from Chess Records and its Aristocrat Records imprint between the years 1948 and 1964 along with a single track ... see all copies from $11.12! new only from $11.12!
5	A New Day at Midnight (2002) more music like this by David Gray David Gray's 1999 release White Ladder was not only a chart hit around the globe but a career turnaround for the artist. His folky techno sound was refreshing and raw, and the public finally took notice to Gray's honest approach. White Ladder went double platinum in America and earned Gray a Grammy nod for Best New Artist. Expectations for a ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $16.96!
6	Hoochie Coochie Man [LRC] (2001) more music like this by Muddy Waters The source for this 1964 live performance appears to be Lippmann and Rau, the sponsors of Europe's American Folk Blues Festival. Considering that Chess Records never recorded Muddy's live set during this era, this disc is priceless. Otis Spann is at the piano, George Smith plays sax, Sammy Lawhorn is the second guitarist, and Francis Clay and ... see all copies from $2.98! new only from $2.98!
7	About Them Shoes (2003) more music like this by Hubert Sumlin Hubert Sumlin's About Them Shoes is a refreshingly pure blues recording which comes at a time when others are distorting the genre with various "contemporary" elements. The songs are from the repertoire of Muddy Waters -- seven tunes written by Waters (McKinley Morganfield), four by Willie Dixon, one from Carl C. Wright, and a beauty by Sumlin to ... see all copies from $9.16! new only from $10.32!
8	It's Never Been Like That (2006) more music like this by Phoenix After avoiding the sophomore slump with relative ease, Phoenix return with their third release stripped of the post-disco house sound that helped to define them, focusing more on the songwriting side of things than any sort of dancefloor-focused groove. In fact, it takes until the fourth song, "Long Distance Call," for anything resembling a ... see all copies from $4.29! new only from $9.24!
9	His Best: 1947 to 1955 (1997) more music like this by Muddy Waters This entry into MCA's Chess 50th Anniversary Collection now officially takes the place of The Best of Muddy Waters as an essential first purchase in building a Muddy Waters collection.

13 view cover	Frett'n the Blues: Best of the Great Blues Guitarists (2000) more music like this by Various Artists In the 1960s, lovers of electric blues had a lot to choose from -- not only the Chicago blues, but also the electric blues of Texas, Louisiana, Detroit, and Memphis. Vanguard's electric blues output of the 1960s is the main focus of this 2000 compilation, which spans 1965-1968 and spotlights some of the guitar playing singers who recorded for the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $15.40!

18 view cover	American Folk Blues Festival 1962-1969, Vol. 2 (2004) more music like this by Various Artists The second volume of American Folk Blues Festival: 1962-1969 was originally recorded by German promoters and blues fanatics Horst Lippmann and Fritz Rau, who originally booked the tours through Europe. These 16 tracks have been deemed highlights and it's hard to argue with that assessment, especially when the musicians present include Howlin' Wolf ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $9.00!
19 view cover	Last Call: Live at Boston Tea Party, April 2, 1970 (2000) more music like this by Otis Spann Essential primarily as a historical document, this album's tapes -- recorded in 1970 only three weeks before the pianist's death from liver cancer -- were thought to have been destroyed until they were found in a warehouse in 1999. Otis Spann, the classic Chicago bluesman whose work is revered and studied by almost every blues pianist who followed ... see all copies from $23.34! new only from $23.34!
20 view cover	Best of Muddy Waters: 20th Century Masters (1999) more music like this by Muddy Waters Like any record company worth their salt, MCA knows a good gimmick when they see it, and when the millennium came around...well, the 20th Century Masters -- The Millennium Collection wasn't too far behind. Supposedly, the millennium is a momentous occasion, but it's hard to feel that way when it's used as another excuse to turn out a budget-line ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.24!
21 view cover	The Lost Tapes (1999) more music like this by Muddy Waters It's been a while since we've seen any unreleased material from Muddy Waters. You've heard all of this before, but the clarity of the sound, and the fact that Waters seems in pretty good spirits, playing with a crack band, makes The Lost Tapes an essential addition to any blues lover's collection, and a must buy for Waters devotees. The band is ... see all copies from $8.99! new only from $14.72!

While various tracks reflect the influence of Muddy Waters, Jimmy Reed and John Lee Hooker, Johnson's own inimitable vocals, raspy lines and tart guitar eventually create his own aura. He is nicely backed by ... see all copies from $6.23! new only from $10.76!
