Can't Quit the Blues (2006) more music like this

by Buddy Guy

Legend status came late to Buddy Guy, so it shouldn't be surprising that this is the first box set devoted to the blues giant's work. Yet it is still a bit of a shock, because Guy, it seems, has always been a part of the modern blues scene, ubiquitous even in the late '60s at the era's high-profile rock and folk festivals, playing the hippie ...

Revisited (2002) more music like this

by Son House

Revisited is a double-disc of live Son House recordings from the Mississippi delta blues legend's twilight years on the folk revival circuit. Disc one is a mid-'60s performance at Oberlin College; after a scholarly introduction by his then-manager Dick Waterman, House starts out in fine form, prefacing each song with long, discursive monologues ...

Treasures & Tears (1990) more music like this

by Rhonda Rucker & Sparky Rucker

Those listening to Leadbelly for the first time might find themselves asking, "Is he rural blues or is he folk?"--and truth be told, he is both. Similarly, Treasures and Tears is a CD that has as much to do with acoustic country blues as it does with folk. Forming a duo, the interracial team of singer/acoustic guitarist James "Sparky" Rucker and ...

Crosscurrents (1969) more music like this

by Danny Kalb and Stefan Grossman

Originally released in 1969, Crosscurrents is the meeting of two very different guitarists collaborating on the blues and other folk forms. This is deep American white music played with character, innocence, and instrumental acumen. Danny Kalb was one of the co-founders of the Blues Project and a brilliant if underacknowledged guitarist. Stefan ...

Live at Gaslight Cafe, 1965 (2000) more music like this

by Son House

Son House's earliest recordings, three two-sided 78s ("My Black Mama," "Preachin' the Blues," "Dry Spell Blues") recorded in New York on May 28, 1930, proved to be a hard act to follow, and House never really equaled these fierce, driving performances again, although he came close. The field recordings he did for Alan Lomax in 1941 and 1942 are ...

Blues Singer (2003) more music like this

by Buddy Guy

Arriving after the unexpected blast of raw energy that was 2001's Sweet Tea, 2003's Blues Singer could idealistically be seen as the acoustic flip side of that high-voltage, raw electric blues. Like Sweet Tea, Blues Singer is supposed to exist deep down within the Delta blues tradition, only finding Buddy Guy armed with an acoustic guitar and the ...
