1	Martin Scorsese Presents the Blues: A Musical Journey (2003) more music like this by Original Soundtrack This five-disc, 116-track box set presents a sweeping history of the blues from its emergence in the early 1900s clear through to its various contemporary guises, and includes samples of country blues in all of its regional variations, as well as cuts from string bands, jug bands, jazz combos, gritty Chicago blues outfits, and a look at how rock ... see all copies from $59.39! new only from $59.39!
2	Classic Sides (2003) more music like this by Blind Lemon Jefferson This is an awe-inspiring four-CD set in a world that has no shortage of brilliant artists represented in their entirety. Listeners wishing to appreciate the spellbinding, primal sound of Blind Lemon Jefferson can start here, except they may never want to finish; 70-some years since his death, and nearly 80 years since his first record, Jefferson's ... see all copies from $26.09! new only from $26.09!
3	The Best of Blind Lemon Jefferson [Yazoo] (2000) more music like this by Blind Lemon Jefferson Blind Lemon Jefferson's life contains a great deal of mystery. The date of his birth is uncertain, and the cause of his death -- heart failure? freezing during a blizzard? -- is unknown. What is known is that he left behind a number of blues recordings on which he accompanied himself on guitar. His expressive vocals and guitar work shine on well ... see all copies from $14.74! new only from $14.74!
4	As Good As It Gets: Country Blues (2000) more music like this by Various Artists For the most part, the Disky label's As Good As It Gets series lives up to its title, dividing early influential musical genres (gospel, cajun, hillbilly, jazz, etc.) into budget-priced two-disc samplers. As Good As It Gets: Country Blues includes 52 original classic performances from the likes of Big Bill Broonzy, Blind Willie McTell, Memphis ... see all copies from $8.69! new only from $16.04!
5	Blues Story [Shout! Factory] (2003) more music like this by Various Artists Blues Story opens with the wonderful, lazy horns of Mamie Smith's "Crazy Blues" and ends on the edge of rock & roll with Big Mama Thornton's "Hound Dog." In between are dozens of classic old blues tracks, including Tommy Johnson's bright but desperate signature tune, "Canned Heat Blues," T-Bone Walker's "Call It Stormy Monday" (with its famous ... see all copies from $9.89! new only from $9.89!

8	Elementary Doctor Watson!/Then and Now (1997) more music like this by Doc Watson Two of Doc Watson's albums from the early '70s, Elementary Doctor Watson and Then & Now, were combined on this single-CD reissue by Collectables.

9	Match Box Blues (2002) more music like this by Dr. David Evans A scholar, field researcher, and director of the ethnomusicology program at the University of Memphis since 1978, David Evans isn't your typical blues man. But don't worry, he doesn't let his academic pedigree prevent him from having a whole lot of fun with this ragtag set of folk-blues pieces, and the result is a delightful and lively reimagining ... see all copies from $15.93! new only from $15.93!

11 view cover	Hillbilly Blues (2001) more music like this by Various Artists First off, if it's from ASV/Living Era, you know it's a winner and that's almost enough said. This single-disc, twenty-five cut collection has nothing short of amazing material in truly cleaned up sound from the very beginning of the country music boom: "Hello Stranger" by the Carter Family should be proof enough. But the real treasure in this set ... see all copies from $10.76! new only from $10.76!
12 view cover	The Encyclopedia of Early Blues Classics [2 Disc] (2001) more music like this by Various Artists This two-disc budget collection is a mishmash of old 78s, and 1960s rediscovery recordings of blues and folk artists. What makes it unusual, although it probably isn't a selling point, is that the musicians are presented in sequence alphabetically. There are some great songs and performances here, but nothing so rare that it can't easily be found ... see all copies from $11.75!
13 view cover	Tennessee Saturday Night: The Rural Route to Rock 'N' Roll (2000) more music like this by Various Artists This collection of western swing workouts, guitar boogies and amped-up country and blues shuffles from the late '40s and early '50s illustrates once again that rock & roll didn't just come out of nowhere when Elvis Presley first stepped to the microphone in Sam Phillips' Sun Studios in Memphis in 1954. All of rock & roll's basic motifs are ... see all copies from $10.08! new only from $10.08!

These 20 remastered tracks are an excellent sampling of predominantly country blues from the '30s. While listening to these originals, it becomes obvious that Dylan didn't ... see all copies from $10.42! new only from $10.42!
