1	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!
2	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!
3	Complete Recordings: 1929-1934 (2002) more music like this by Charley Patton At the end of just the first disc on this five-CD set, the listener may feel like he/she was in the audio equivalent of a visual "white-out," so powerful are the sounds on that disc. From the opening bars of"Pony Blues," Charley Patton becomes a gigantic musical presence, who gets even bigger as his work goes on; with a guttural, stentorian voice ... see all copies from $29.64! new only from $29.64!
4	The Rough Guide to Delta Blues (2002) more music like this by Various Artists A fantastic compilation that really does span the length of Mississippi Delta blues, from the early days of the Mississippi Sheiks and Charley Patton (with the classic "High Water Everywhere Part One") through to the modern but equally rooted sounds of Asie Payton, R.L. Burnside, and the late Junior Kimbrough. And it's every bit as thorough in ... see all copies from $11.09! new only from $11.09!
5	Play It 'Til Tomorrow (2007) more music like this by Nick Moss & the Flip Tops Nick Moss wasn't well known outside of blues circles when he cut this generous two-CD, 28-song set in late 2007, but you can blame that on the fragmented nature of the music business at the start of the 21st century. Moss and his Flip Tops, a blues supergroup if there ever was one, are every bit as exciting as the Paul Butterfield Band was during ... see all copies from $12.05! new only from $12.16!
6	Rising Sons Featuring Taj Mahal & Ry Cooder (1992) more music like this by Rising Sons Their lone single and unreleased album form the core of this 22-track reissue, which features imaginative rearrangements of standards like "Corrine, Corrina," an obscure Dylan cover ("Walkin' down the Line"), rocking originals, a confident performance of Goffin/King's "Take A Giant Step" (later Mahal's signature tune), and nifty guitar interplay ... see all copies from $3.79! new only from $5.11!
7	From Spirituals to Swing: Carnegie Hall Concerts, 1938-1939 [3 CD Set] (1938) more music like this by Various Artists In 1938, jazz aficionado/promoter/producer John Hammond, Sr. had an idea for a visionary concert. This vision would take fruition as a presentation known as "From Spirituals to Swing," bringing together the connected history of African-American music running from gospel to blues to jazz.High-brow concerts of what was considered distinctly non-high ... see all copies from $15.55! new only from $28.90!
8	The Amazing Charlatans (1996) more music like this by The Charlatans After almost 30 years, there's finally a definitive document of one of the first San Francisco psychedelic groups -- or, at least, as definitive a document as surviving tapes allow. This compilation assembles 23 tracks from their demos for the Kama Sutra and Autumn labels, as well as a couple of later sessions recorded at San Francisco area ... see all copies from $17.09! new only from $17.09!
9	Oooh So Good N'Blues/Recycling the Blues (2007) more music like this by Taj Mahal Australia's Raven Records is among the most venerable reissue labels in the world, and this two-fer of Taj Mahal vintage recordings is a case in point. Sony Legacy began a rather aggressive reissue campaign of Mahal's recordings, remastering and reissuing his late-'60s work and early records, including his self-titled debut, The Natch'l Blues, and ... see all copies from $18.80! new only from $18.80!
10	Screamin' and Hollerin' the Blues: The Worlds of Charley Patton (2001) more music like this by Charley Patton Perhaps the most sumptuous, nay incredible, box set package ever devised for a blues artist, this lavish production contains seven CDs that not only contain everything Patton recorded as a soloist, but a ton of peripheral tracks to which he contributed or was associated. Yes, this has all 54 known extant Patton performances (including four ... see all copies from $134.95!

12 view cover	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!
13 view cover	Somebody Told the Truth (2002) more music like this by Cephas & Wiggins The acoustic duo's first album in three years doesn't substantially alter the twosome's established game plan. But its well-recorded mix of studio and live tracks -- including one with a full yet laid-back band -- shows them to be at the top of their form. Combining traditional Delta and Piedmont blues and gospel classics like Robert Johnson's ... see all copies from $15.24! new only from $15.24!
14 view cover	Get Myself Together (2005) more music like this by Danny Barnes Banjo-pickin' prodigy Danny Barnes has crafted another fine album in Get Myself Together -- one that explores the human condition as it crafts an inventive song cycle. Look no further than "Get Me Out of Jail" for a sadly amusing tale of a day in the life an alcoholic and prescription drug addict, or the superb, whiskey bar-addled depiction of ... see all copies from $11.42! new only from $11.42!

16 view cover	Live from Uncle Sam's Backyard (1997) more music like this by Paul Geremia This is one of the most pleasing and authentic live recordings, from one of the best country Delta-style blues interpreters playing today. As well as following the tradition of original players such as Willie McTell and Skip James, Geremia lets the songs stretch and grow to fit the changing times. He also adds new and relevant material to the pool ... see all copies from $10.99! new only from $15.61!

19 view cover	Early Warning (1997) more music like this by Gun Club Just like a classic noir crime novel, L.A.'s Gun Club absorbed and spit out the glitz, glamour, filth, and blood of the city's underbelly, and crafted it into something beautiful and haunting. Early Warning, a double-disc set comprising demo tracks, live cuts, and Jeffrey Lee Pierce's home acoustic recordings, is a magnificently assembled bound, ... see all copies from $17.86! new only from $17.86!

21 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	Roots of Canned Heat (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Canned Heat was formed by three ardent record collectors with a devout passion for old blues 78s from the 1920s and '30s. Guitarist and harmonica player Alan Wilson, singer Bob Hite, and guitarist Henry Vestine took their scholarly interest in these remarkable old recordings and lovingly re-created them for the emerging rock audience in the late ... see all copies from $11.37! new only from $11.37!
23 view cover	Spreading the Word: Early Gospel Recordings (2004) more music like this by Various Artists Yet another of JSP's exhaustive budget-priced box sets of public domain recordings, Spreading the Word: Early Gospel Recordings provides just what the title promises, 105 tracks' worth of traditional African-American gospel recordings from 1926 to 1950. Listeners who know their history will already be familiar with some of the material here, such ... see all copies from $26.50! new only from $26.50!
