2	Masters of the Delta Blues: The Friends of Charlie Patton (1991) more music like this by Various Artists As the most popular blues craftsman of the Mississippi Delta, Charley Patton had a resounding influence on many of the musicians that passed through the region during the '20s and '30s.

3	Screamin' and Hollerin' the Blues: The Worlds of Charley Patton (2001) more music like this by Charley Patton Perhaps the most sumptuous, nay incredible, box set package ever devised for a blues artist, this lavish production contains seven CDs that not only contain everything Patton recorded as a soloist, but a ton of peripheral tracks to which he contributed or was associated.

4	Broke, Black and Blue [Box] (1999) more music like this by Various Artists This four-disc, 100-track box set differs from most blues compendiums on a number of fronts.

Second, even though there are entries from artists like Blind Blake, Mississippi John Hurt, Son House ... see all copies from $29.40! new only from $29.40!
5	Juke Joint Saturday Night: Classic Piano Blues Rags & Stomps (2000) more music like this by Various Artists Capable of producing music at a sufficient volume, the piano was a widely popular instrument in African-American entertainment spots across the south in the 1920s and 1930s. Like the guitar, its ability to combine harmony and melody simultaneously also made it very versatile for both solo performance and group accompaniment.

7	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!
