1	Putumayo Presents: Mississippi Blues (2002) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $13.37! new only from $13.37!
2	The Complete Studio Recordings (2000) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt Although not as consistently magnificent as Hurt's 1928 recordings, the performances the artist recorded for Vanguard in the mid 1960's would be the zenith of many blues artist's entire careers. Songs like the opening "Payday" and "Poor Boy, Long Ways From Home" rank with any folk-blues song ever recorded. This fantastic set collects the three ... see all copies from $19.67! new only from $19.67!
3	Ramblin' (1979) more music like this by Lucinda Williams A collection of blues and country standards by Robert Johnson, Memphis Minnie, Hank Williams, and others. Williams is accompanied only by guitarist John Grimaudo. Re-released by Smithsonian/Folkways in 1991 as Ramblin'. Kurt Wolff, All Music Guide see all copies from $9.20! new only from $14.78!
4	Today! (1966) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt Today is Mississippi John Hurt's first and finest studio release since his "rediscovery" on his Avalon farm by folklorist Tom Hoskins in 1963. Eclipsed possibly only by his earlier 1928 Sessions, this album shows a more mature Hurt picking his way through standards and originals after the Depression years and Hurt's fall into obscurity before the ... see all copies from $12.18! new only from $12.18!
5	The Best of Mississippi John Hurt [Aim] (1998) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt Mississippi John Hurt did a live 21-song set on April 15, 1965, at Oberlin College in Ohio, a scant two years after his rediscovery in 1963, and a year before his death in 1966. Hurt was remarkably consistent as a performer, whether you listen to his famous 1920s Okeh tracks, his rediscovery studio work for Vanguard Records, or the handful of live ... see all copies from $13.30! new only from $13.30!
6	Odetta and the Blues (1962) more music like this by Odetta Odetta earned her rep singing traditional folk in the mid-'50s before the American folk revival got underway with the Kingston Trio and "Tom Dooley" in 1958. Unlike many of her contemporaries, however, she had a habit of going her own way from time to time. One of Odetta's most interesting deviations from straight folk, and one that caused a bit ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
7	The Best of Mississippi John Hurt [Vanguard] (1989) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt Contrary to what its title would make one believe, this record is not a collection of previously available recordings by Mississippi John Hurt -- rather, it is a complete concert from Oberlin College on April 15, 1965. Regardless, the title is justified, as the concert features Hurt in excellent form doing most of his best known classic songs from ... see all copies from $14.22! new only from $14.22!
8	Back to the Blues (2000) more music like this by Sue Foley see all copies from $7.99! new only from $11.13!
9	Rediscovered (1998) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt Featuring over 75 minutes and 23 tracks, Rediscovered compiles tracks off Hurt's four Vanguard releases -- Today!, The Immortal Mississippi John Hurt, Last Sessions, and The Best of Mississippi John Hurt. The tracks selected are truly first-rate and give a fine cross-section of Hurt's gently rolling country-blues, including many of his better ... see all copies from $7.72! new only from $14.22!
10	Chicago Piano, Vol. 1 (1951) more music like this by Jimmy Yancey Jimmy Yancey was one of the pioneer boogie-woogie pianists, but unlike many of the other pacesetters, he had a gentle and thoughtful style that also crossed over into the blues. This Atlantic CD, a straight reissue of the 1972 LP, contains Yancey's final recordings, cut just eight weeks before his death from diabetes. The pianist is in fine form ... see all copies from $10.72! new only from $10.72!
11 view cover	Legendary Kid (1955) more music like this by Kid Ory's Creole Jazz Band One of trombonist Kid Ory's greatest recordings, this consistently exciting CD features trumpeter Alvin Alcorn, clarinetist Phil Gomez, and a strong rhythm section that includes bassist Wellman Braud and Ory's longtime drummer, Minor Hall. These versions of "Mahogany Hall Stomp," "There'll Be Some Changes Made," "At the Jazz Band Ball," and "Shine ... see all copies from $13.71! new only from $13.71!
12 view cover	Livin' with the Blues (2000) more music like this by Odetta If any female vocalist should be compared to Leadbelly, it's Odetta. Like Leadbelly, Odetta has long had one foot in folk and the other in the blues. The singer did some of her most compelling work for Vanguard in the '60s, and her Vanguard output is the focus of Livin' With The Blues. Released in 2000, this collection focuses on Odetta's Vanguard ... see all copies from $12.38! new only from $15.37!
13 view cover	Two by Two: The Complete Sessions (1995) more music like this by Dave Young see all copies from $15.49! new only from $15.49!
14 view cover	Live [Vanguard] (2002) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt Mississippi John Hurt's vocal and guitar style are always easy on the ears. Unlike a number of Delta stylists with their high-pitched voices and slashing slide guitars, Hurt's approach to country blues is immediately accessible. Recorded (for the most part) at Oberlin College in 1965, Live captures Hurt a couple of years after his rediscovery and ... see all copies from $15.65! new only from $15.65!
15 view cover	Atlantic Blues: Vocalists (1986) more music like this by Various Artists Atlantic continues to trawl through its blues vaults on this generous set featuring many of the music's outstanding and often overlooked vocalists. Taking in some rarities and many updated classics, the 28-track mix includes excellent sides by longtime label star Ruth Brown, vintage blues chanteuse Sippie Wallace, urban blues pioneer Leroy Carr, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $16.00!
16 view cover	Satisfying Blues (1995) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt Mississippi John Hurt did a live 21-song set on April 15, 1965, at Oberlin College in Ohio, a scant two years after his rediscovery in 1963, and a year before his death in 1966. Hurt was remarkably consistent as a performer, whether you listen to his famous 1920s Okeh tracks, his rediscovery studio work for Vanguard Records, or the handful of live ... see all copies from $11.03! new only from $11.03!
17	From the Far East to Down South with Love (1999) more music like this by Rag Pickers of Tokyo see all copies from $14.47! new only from $14.47!
18 view cover	Rag Pickers of Tokyo (1996) more music like this by Rag Pickers of Tokyo see all copies from $13.01! new only from $13.01!
19 view cover	Memorial Anthology (1993) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt Mississippi John Hurt's mid-'60s performances were usually distinctive and sometimes staggering. His guitar work was crisp, attractive and frequently brilliant, although his vocals were the real hook. Hurt's narratives, storytelling ability and general communicative powers were at their peak on this two-CD set, which has languished in a vault for ... see all copies from $27.71! new only from $28.05!
20 view cover	Bunk Johnson and His Superior Jazz Band (1942) more music like this by Bunk Johnson This CD reissues the first recordings by the legendary Bunk Johnson. Cut in New Orleans on primitive acetates, the trumpeter is teamed with trombonist Jim Robinson and clarinetist George Lewis (both of whom would be in his regular band soon), plus a four-piece rhythm section, for nine numbers. Bunk's playing is primitive, as is Lewis's, but also ... see all copies from $56.00!
21 view cover	Chicago: The Living Legends (South Side Blues) (1961) more music like this by Various Artists Singer/guitarist Walter Vinson, singer/pianist Little Brother Montgomery, and singer Mama Yancey were veterans of the pre-electric Chicago scene and in magnificent form on this 1961 Riverside date. The album also contains two rare selections by the obscure singer/harp blower Henry Benson. Roundup Newsletter, All Music Guide see all copies from $10.80! new only from $10.80!
22 view cover	Standing Eight (1998) more music like this by Rahsaan Roland Kirk In 1998, 32 Jazz reissued three albums from Rahsaan Roland Kirk's late period on the double CD A Standing Eight. Those albums were The Return of the 5000lb. Man and Kirkatron -- both of which consisted of recordings made not long before the innovator suffered a debilitating stroke in 1975 -- and the post-stroke session Boogie-Woogie String Along ... see all copies from $20.98!
23 view cover	The Unissued 1951 Yancey Wire Recordings (1998) more music like this by Jimmy Yancey & Mama Yancey Boogie-woogie pianist Jimmy Yancey and his wife, Mama Yancey, used to have musical gatherings at their Chicago home. The performances heard on this CD were recorded by a wire recorder three months before Yancey's death, and were released for the first time on this 1997 CD. The recording quality varies greatly, ranging from listenable to quite ... see all copies from $23.10! new only from $23.10!
24 view cover	Just a Spoonful and Other Folksongs of Rural Cook County more music like this by Tangleweed see all copies from $35.99!
25	Boogie-Woogie String Along for Real (1977) more music like this by Rahsaan Roland Kirk The final album Rahsaan Roland Kirk ever recorded remains one of his finest. Post-stroke, Kirk struggled with his conception of the music he was trying to make. Boogie-Woogie String Along for Real is the payoff. The title track features strings playing distended harmonics over his blowing and the backing of a guttersnipe rhythm section and a full ... see all copies from $20.00!
