1	Specialty Profiles (2006) more music like this by Lloyd Price As part of the Specialty Profiles series, New Orleans R&B belter Lloyd Price is spotlighted on several tracks he recorded for the Los Angeles-based label between 1952 and 1959. This is raucous R&B, not to be confused with Price's pop hits recorded for ABC-Paramount in the early '60s. The 14 cuts on this compilation combine lesser-heard gems like ... see all copies from $10.35! new only from $10.35!
2	Brownsville Blues (1969) more music like this by Sleepy John Estes Not to be confused with the Brownsville Blues session that Sleepy John Estes recorded for Delmark in the '60s, this Brownsville Blues is an Austrian release that focuses on the Tennessee bluesman's early recordings for Victor, Decca and RCA/Bluebird. Many blues experts will tell you that Estes did his most essential work before World War II, and ... see all copies from $7.99! new only from $9.98!
3	Prestige Profiles, Vol. 8 (2005) more music like this by Lightnin' Hopkins Prestige Profiles, Vol. 8 contains previously released tracks taken from Texas bluesman Lightnin' Hopkins' short stint with the label.

4	Lawdy Miss Clawdy (1995) more music like this by Lloyd Price This British import rounds up 16 of the sides Lloyd Price recorded for Specialty between 1952 and 1956 (digitally transferred from the original master and session tapes). The title track wasn't just his biggest hit for the L.A. label, but the first thing he ever recorded. For those who haven't heard it, "Lawdy Miss Clawdy," an original composition ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $7.25!

7	Sings the Truth (196?) more music like this by Malvina Reynolds How many other musicians made their major-label recording debuts as grandmothers in their mid-sixties, as Malvina Reynolds did on this circa late-1966/early-1967 LP, produced by John Hammond? But those were different times, which saw ridiculously uncommercial, avowedly antiestablishment albums released by the labels of large corporations. And this ... see all copies from $14.69! new only from $14.69!
8	Jazzin' the Blues (1936) more music like this by Various Artists A variety of formerly rare blues-oriented performances are reissued on this CD put out by the Austrian label RST. Best are two spirited selections from singer Monette Moore in 1936, her only recordings after 1927. The performances by Tiny Mayberry and the not-so-hot Helen Proctor are most notable for the solo work of trumpeters Charlie Shavers and ... see all copies from $11.03! new only from $11.03!
9	Tennessee Blues (1998) more music like this by Bukka White/Sleepy John Estes This single-disc release collects work from two giants of the blues, Bukka White and Sleepy John Estes. Although the track listing is rather odd, with some obvious choices from both artists being left out, "Tennessee Blues" is a terrific listen, and a great collection for any newcomer to these two artists. The balance is weighed slightly in the ... see all copies from $10.37! new only from $10.37!

12 view cover	Mr. Personality [Shout] (2008) more music like this by Lloyd Price Not to be confused with the 1959 LP titled Mr. Personality, this is an entirely different release, issued in 2008 as a CD compilation. The 27 tracks all hail from Lloyd Price's time on the ABC label in the late '50s and early '60s, which saw him find his biggest commercial success when he sweetened his New Orleans R&B roots with pop and big band ... see all copies from $22.24! new only from $22.24!
