1	Me and Mr. Johnson (2004) more music like this by Eric Clapton Ten years after his first all-blues album, From the Cradle, Eric Clapton released Me and Mr. Johnson, an album-length tribute to his hero, the legendary bluesman Robert Johnson. Not that this is the first time Clapton has paid tribute to Johnson. Throughout his career, Clapton has not only drawn on Johnson for inspiration, but he has covered his ... see all copies from $5.95! new only from $11.28!
2	Sessions for Robert J. [CD & DVD] (2004) more music like this by Eric Clapton It appears that Eric Clapton had more Robert Johnson in his blood than he thought -- or perhaps it was planned this way. This DVD/CD set (and really, it's not the other way around despite the packaging), showcases Clapton mining the Robert Johnson vein ever more deeply in no less than four different settings. The DVD features 19 acoustic and ... see all copies from $15.66! new only from $15.66!
3	King of the Delta Blues Singers (1966) more music like this by Robert Johnson Reading about the power inherent in Robert Johnson's music is one thing, but actually experiencing it is another matter entirely. The official 1998 edition of the original 1961 album was certainly worth the wait, remastered off the best quality original 78s available, of far superior quality to any of the source materials used on even the 1991 ... see all copies from $9.75! new only from $9.75!
4	Me & the Devil (2001) more music like this by Peter Green & Robert Johnson While it's no secret that guitar king Peter Green is obsessed with Robert Johnson, having done two previous recordings of his music, this box is in essence something else. There are three CDs included here, one of which is Hot Foot Powder, the first album by the Peter Green Splinter Group, which included guest performances from the likes of Otis ... see all copies from $6.28! new only from $19.88!
5	Shivering King and Others (2003) more music like this by Dead Meadow On their third album, Shivering King and Others, Dead Meadow continues to prove that they are one of the most aptly named bands in recent memory, crafting vast guitar epics that have all the beauty and strangeness of a frost-bitten field at midnight. While both their self-titled debut and Howls From the Hills showed power and promise, they were ... see all copies from $10.15! new only from $10.15!
6	Whites Off Earth Now!! (1986) more music like this by Cowboy Junkies Featuring only one original song, the Cowboy Junkies' debut, Whites Off Earth Now!!, captures the band forming their own sound through covers, including songs by Robert Johnson and Bruce Springsteen. It's not as captivating as their later releases, but it's fascinating to hear their signature country-on-valium sound develop. Margo Timmins sings ... see all copies from $6.77! new only from $27.74!
7	Space Wrangler (1988) more music like this by Widespread Panic Widespread Panic's first album, originally released on a tiny Atlanta, GA label. This reissue boasts three new tracks, one of them a lengthy medley; more to the point, it's a remarkably confident album that belies its tiny budget. The band hit the ground running, tip their hat to and blow a raspberry at Mark Knopfler, and generally show everyone a ... see all copies from $9.90! new only from $13.30!
8	The Lady and Mr. Johnson (2006) more music like this by Rory Block On Rory Block's masterpiece concept album, The Lady and Mr. Johnson, it becomes obvious that she and her guitar are one in the same. The two use each other and live through one another. Block's adoration for the blues has allowed her to explore its various sides, while always remaining true to the sound of her blues idols. Since she first became ... see all copies from $15.44! new only from $15.44!
9	Hellhound on My Trail: Songs of Robert Johnson (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Not the first compilation of bluesmen (and one woman) interpreting the limited but radically influential work of Robert Johnson, and almost certainly not the last, this 2001 entry is one of the more substantial efforts in the lineage. Instead of refashioning these classics in unique arrangements, the compilers have stripped the artists and songs ... see all copies from $2.82! new only from $9.17!
10	At the Crossroads: The Blues of Robert Johnson (2003) more music like this by John Hammond, Jr. If Robert Johnson could look down from heaven or up from hell, he'd likely find it very interesting that John Hammond, Jr. had covered his songs. Here is a white guy, after all, who sounds like a black blues singer and chooses -- of his own free will -- to frequently return to the repertoire of an obscure black guitarist/singer from the 1930s. At ... see all copies from $7.77! new only from $10.67!

13 view cover	From Four Till Late (2004) more music like this by Robert Johnson Robert Johnson may not have been as innovative in the country blues field as many people think, but as one of the last of the great Delta players to record, he brought a late-era refinement to his material, and with striking songs like "Stones in My Passway," "Hellhound on My Trail," and the assured "Last Fair Deal Gone Down," he certainly ... see all copies from $9.32! new only from $9.32!

18 view cover	Peter Plays the Blues: The Classic Compositions of Robert Johnson (2002) more music like this by Peter Green/Nigel Watson Peter Green is appropriately reverent on this album of songs written by blues legend Robert Johnson. With Johnson's own recordings readily available, the album isn't really necessary, at least when Green employs the same spare instrumentation as the master. But on tracks like "Cross Road Blues" that use drums, electric bass, and electric guitar in ... see all copies from $10.30! new only from $10.30!
19 view cover	Groundhog Night: Groundhogs Live (1994) more music like this by The Groundhogs Anyone who feels a big gap in their life not having Cream around to perform and record will love Groundhog Night. But for anyone else, this double CD is problematic, capturing as it does McPhee's latter-day, re-formed Groundhogs live in concert in the 1990s. The sound is very heavy, and heavily electric, with amplification more suited to late ... see all copies from $5.85! new only from $5.85!

22 view cover	The Last of the Great Blues Singers (2002) more music like this by Robert Johnson Although there are dozens of collections like this on the market, there is really no reason to get anything other than the double-disc Complete Recordings on Columbia. It has the best sound, the best annotation, and everything is there. Steve Leggett, All Music Guide see all copies from $2.61! new only from $2.61!
23 view cover	A Salute to the Delta Blues Masters (2002) more music like this by Various Artists This box set packages three of Telarc's blues tribute releases, a series that features contemporary blues artists performing songs made famous by earlier blues players. Included in the box are the albums Hellhound on My Trail, which pays tribute to Robert Johnson, Preachin' the Blues, honoring Mississippi Fred McDowell, and Down the Dirt Road, ... see all copies from $31.88! new only from $31.88!
24 view cover	Robert Johnson and the Old School Blues (2003) more music like this by Robert Johnson This two-CD set is a most unusual approach to packaging Robert Johnson's legacy that might not be to the liking of some hardcore purists and collectors, but has some points in its favor. For it combines one CD of actual Johnson recordings with a second CD of songs and artists that could have influenced, or most certainly did influence, the great ... see all copies from $10.16! new only from $10.16!
