1	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!
2	25 Years 1968-1993 (1994) more music like this by Climax Chicago Blues Band Most casual fans know the Climax Blues Band through "Couldn't Get It Right" and "I Love You," a pair of slick pop and soft-rock hits from the late '70s and early '80s. Those two songs are a little misleading, in a way, since they arrived halfway through a career that spanned over 25 years. Anyone who heard those two hits probably were puzzled by ... see all copies from $8.76! new only from $8.76!
3	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!
4	Swing Time (2003) more music like this by Wayne Hancock As anyone who has heard him knows, Wayne Hancock is a honky tonk man, and what a honky tonk man does best is make with some tunes suitable for both dancing and beer drinking at an unpretentious nightspot along the highway. So the idea of a Wayne Hancock live album would seem like a no-brainer, and this set, recorded during a two-night stand at ... see all copies from $8.46! new only from $9.77!
5	That's What Daddy Wants (1997) more music like this by Wayne Hancock Wayne Hancock approaches classic country themes with a modern flair for That's What Daddy Wants. Hank Williams couldn't have gotten away with singing about finding his lover with another on "those damp, slick, sticky satin sheets." And Hancock does branch out a bit, utilizing a drummer as well as the occasional horn or accordion. But his most ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $9.00!
6	The Best of Clifton Chenier (2003) more music like this by Clifton Chenier The origins of zydeco are traceable to one man: Clifton Chenier, who started blending Cajun music with blues and R&B back in the '50s. He recorded for the Arhoolie label over a nearly 30-year span, and The Best of Clifton Chenier is (yet another) collection of his music culled from his Arhoolie sides.People familiar with the sound of contemporary ... see all copies from $10.08! new only from $14.56!
7	The Savoy Brown Collection (Chronicles Series) (1993) more music like this by Savoy Brown With one of the smoothest and most compelling guitarists of the blues-rock style, Savoy Brown and the finger wizardry of Kim Simmonds unleashed some of the smoothest and most mesmerizing rock & roll of the 1970s. Their ingenious blend of contented blues and hard-edged rock resulted in some wholesome yet somewhat bypassed guitar music. The Savoy ... see all copies from $20.93! new only from $24.68!
8	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. All 12 songs that comprise the budget-priced The Best of Muddy Waters are aboard, with eight more essential goodies from his first period of creativity, including ... see all copies from $9.47! new only from $9.47!
9	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Savoy Brown (2002) more music like this by Savoy Brown Savoy Brown, the long-lived British blues-rock band, spent a decade signed to the British Decca label, which released their albums in America on the Parrot and London subsidiaries. The band's commercial heyday, a series of six modestly charting LPs, came early on, and this discount-priced compilation presents 11 highlights from that period, 1969 ... see all copies from $5.16! new only from $5.16!
10	Live in Glasgow (2007) more music like this by Paul Rodgers The first question one has to ask upon even gazing at the album sleeve of Paul Rodgers' Live in Glasgow in 2006 is, of course, has he still got it? That's like asking if Bob Dylan still has it, or Jimmy Page or Brian May or Ian Hunter. Hell yes he does! Recorded on the final night of a European tour, Rodgers and his bandmates, guitarists Howard ... see all copies from $12.30! new only from $12.30!

12 view cover	Breaking Out of New Orleans 1922-1929 (2004) more music like this by Various Artists JSP's Breaking Out of New Orleans compiles four CDs with 101 tracks containing a mixture of both rare and classic jazz from the '20s, including the Original Tuxedo Jazz Band, Piron's New Orleans Orchestra, Red Onion Jazz Babies, Cookie's Generals, New Orleans Wanderers, and Chicago Footwarmers.

14 view cover	Louisiana Blues & Zydeco [Bonus Track] (2005) more music like this by Clifton Chenier Right in the beginning of his career as the "King of Zydeco", Clifton Chenier recorded an album for an upstart Arhoolie. At the time, the genre was just starting to spread outside of the bayou proper, and the album is one of the landmarks both for Chenier and for the industry and genre. Unfortunately, the recording quality was never particularly ... see all copies from $9.54! new only from $9.54!
15 view cover	The Essential Collection (2000) more music like this by Muddy Waters This mid-priced Muddy Waters compilation from England is comprised of 20 songs,17 of them dating between 1950 and 1958 and the other three from 1968 and 1972, arranged in no particular order. The selection opens with "Got My Mojo Working" in its original studio version and covers most of the obvious bases, including many of Muddy's best-known ... see all copies from $13.34! new only from $13.34!
16 view cover	A Lot of Bottle (1970) more music like this by Climax Blues Band This album starts out promisingly (and interestingly, and misleadingly) with a cool acoustic number, "Country Hat," before the amplification gets cranked up and a lot of subtlety goes out the window. Still, this is generally an exciting album, if not always an interesting one. The band plays hard enough on grinding, crunchy shouters like "Reap ... see all copies from $8.11! new only from $8.11!
17 view cover	John Renbourn (1965) more music like this by John Renbourn John Renbourn's famous phrase was that "I started out trying to play like Big Bill Broonzy, and I'm still trying." On this early outing, the first to appear under his own name, you can, perhaps, detect some of the influence on traditional blues like "John Henry" and "Candy Man." But as a player, Renbourn had already very much developed into his ... see all copies from $7.49! new only from $20.75!

20 view cover	Martin Scorsese Presents the Blues: Muddy Waters (2003) more music like this by Muddy Waters As part of the compilation series issued in conjunction with the major television series documentary The Blues, this is a collection of 16 of Waters' more notable performances. Though they span his entire career, actually all but three of them are taken from his prime years for Chess Records between the late '40s and mid-'60s. The two-disc The ... see all copies from $6.95! new only from $9.15!
21 view cover	Front Porch Blues (1999) more music like this by John Jackson Just as the title says: a wonderful brace of simple country blues done in Jackson's warm Piedmont style. At age 75, his fingers are still nimble as he displays on a jazzy "Just Because" and his vocals still resonate nicely. Audiophile note: This album is nicely recorded and sounds like Jackson is performing about two inches from your face. A warm ... see all copies from $15.70! new only from $15.70!
22 view cover	Now & Live (1997) more music like this by Paul Rodgers In a career dating back to 1968, Now was only Paul Rodgers' second solo album of original material, following 1983's Cut Loose. Of course, in that time he fronted Free, Bad Company, the Firm and the Law, and in the early 1990s crafted tributes to Muddy Waters and Jimi Hendrix, so he wasn't exactly idle. Now was an album for Free and Bad Company ... see all copies from $5.45! new only from $17.81!
23 view cover	Cajun Life (1975) more music like this by Jo-El Sonnier Jo-El Sonnier, like Jimmy C. Newman, has found a comfortable middle ground between traditional Cajun and contemporary country music, working both styles and achieving a measure of commercial and aesthetic success in each. This session accented the Cajun side, although it included competent country-pop material as well. Besides the autobiographical ... see all copies from $9.94! new only from $11.69!
24 view cover	60 Minutes with the King of Zydeco (1988) more music like this by Clifton Chenier This album is Arhoolie's attempt to create a posthumous greatest hits compilation for the king of zydeco, presenting the 15 best-sellers from their catalog. As such, all of the best songs from Chenier's days are available together here, ranging from slower blues to high speed party-based zydeco. Any fan of Chenier (or zydeco in general) should ... see all copies from $14.00! new only from $14.00!
25 view cover	Extended Versions (2001) more music like this by Foghat The Foghat edition of the budget-priced Extended Versions series from BMG is comprised of ten tracks featuring a latter day lineup of the group. All the familiar favorites are here, including "Fool for the City," "Slow Ride," and "Drivin' Wheel" in addition to re-workings of such blues classics as "I Just Want to Make Love to You," "It Hurts Me ... see all copies from $5.11! new only from $5.11!
