1	The Complete Recordings [Columbia #1] (1990) more music like this by Robert Johnson A double-disc box set containing everything Robert Johnson ever recorded, The Complete Recordings is essential listening, but it is also slightly problematic. The problems aren't in the music itself, of course, which is stunning and the fidelity of the recordings is the best it ever has been or ever will be. Instead, it's in the track sequencing. ... see all copies from $7.50! new only from $22.10!
2	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 $10.00! new only from $10.00!
3	Pump Up the Volume [Original Soundtrack] (1990) more music like this by Original Soundtrack In a sense, Pump Up the Volume was the second in Allan Moyle's Disillusioned American Youths trilogy, released ten years after the new wave runaway drama Times Square and five years prior to the truly horrid record shop angstfest Empire Records. Like Times Square, and to a somewhat lesser extent Empire Records, Pump Up the Volume's major players ... see all copies from $5.99! new only from $9.09!
4	King of the Delta Blues Singers [Bonus Track] (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 $5.45! new only from $11.06!
5	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 $16.42! new only from $20.25!
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 $9.26! new only from $29.37!
7	200 More Miles, Live Performances 1985-1994 (1995) more music like this by Cowboy Junkies Subtitled, "Live Performances 1985-1994" (though the earliest track comes from Halloween 1986), 200 More Miles, which concluded the Cowboy Junkies' contract with RCA, was a 17-track compilation of concert recordings. Its five and a half cover songs spanned the group's influences: "Blue Moon Revisited (A Song for Elvis)" drew upon the Rodgers & ... see all copies from $8.71!
8	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 $20.63! new only from $20.63!
9	The Robert Johnson Songbook [1998] (1998) more music like this by Peter Green Splinter Group The Robert Johnson Songbook is Peter Green's first recording made entirely of covers of the music written by the King of the Delta Blues. Unfortunately, though pleasant, The Robert Johnson Songbook lacks the warmth and soulfulness of its successor -- Hot Foot Powder. The Robert Johnson Songbook features Green's Splinter Group, plus a guest ... see all copies from $6.91!
10	Up Jumped the Devil (2005) more music like this by Robert Johnson see all copies from $8.51! new only from $8.51!
11	Blues at Newport (1991) more music like this by Various Artists Blues at Newport -- Newport Folk Festival 1959-64 offers fine performances by John Hurt, Skip James, Rev. Gary Davis, Robert Wilkins, and others. Mark A. Humphrey, All Music Guide see all copies from $16.09! new only from $18.07!
12 view cover	Genius of the Blues (2000) more music like this by Robert Johnson see all copies from $20.77! new only from $20.77!
13 view cover	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 $5.44! new only from $10.29!
14 view cover	The Robert Johnson Songbook [2003] (2003) more music like this by Peter Green Splinter Group see all copies from $11.56! new only from $12.11!
15 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 $10.05! new only from $10.05!
16 view cover	The Best of Robert Johnson: Traveling Riverside Blues (2004) more music like this by Robert Johnson see all copies from $4.70! new only from $4.70!
17 view cover	Sessions for Robert J. [DVD & CD] (2004) more music like this by Eric Clapton see all copies from $16.24! new only from $21.55!
18 view cover	Me and the Devil/I Asked for Water (1998) more music like this by Tony McPhee These two compilations, paired up here on a double-CD set, were just among the many to come out in the late '60s dedicated to British blues. And every single one seemed to feature the remarkable Jo-Ann Kelly (simply one of the best blues singers of any time and place, who sadly died in 1990) and Tony McPhee, who'd go on to greater fame and fortune ... see all copies from $24.71! new only from $24.71!
19 view cover	Usin' Man Blues (1990) more music like this by Robert Lucas Credible acoustic blues with admirable humor. Bill Dahl, All Music Guide see all copies from $26.00! new only from $26.00!
20 view cover	Crossroad Blues [Legacy] (2002) more music like this by Robert Johnson A collection of some of the mythical blues guitarist and singer Robert Johnson's most famous songs, Crossroad Blues includes "Stones in My Passway," "If I Had Possession over Judgment Day," "Me and the Devil Blues," "Come on in My Kitchen," and "Cross Road Blues." Yes, "Traveling Riverside Blues," "Hellhound on My Trail," and "Sweet Home Chicago" ... see all copies from $4.66! new only from $4.66!
21 view cover	The Ultimate Blues Legend (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 $5.11! new only from $5.11!
22 view cover	Complete Recordings, Vol. 2 (2004) more music like this by Robert Johnson see all copies from $41.61! new only from $41.61!
23 view cover	Judgement Day: Songs of Robert Johnson (2004) more music like this by Various Artists A brilliant assimilator, Robert Johnson took stock community blues material and infused it with his own personality, and no doubt well aware that a big part of a performer's charisma was a little dose of mystery, layered his most striking songs with a vague and ominous melodrama, even appropriating the old myth of bartering away one's soul to the ... see all copies from $12.92! new only from $12.92!
24 view cover	Guitar & Bass (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," "Cross Road Blues," and "Love in Vain," he certainly deserves his lofty position in the ... see all copies from $17.79! new only from $17.79!
25 view cover	A Proper Introduction to Robert Johnson: Cross Road Blues (2004) more music like this by Robert Johnson This single-disc, 29-track collection of Robert Johnson's blues is yet another in the countless dozens that have already been issued. While it adds nothing new -- simply because there is nothing new to add -- the package is attractive, the price is right, and the sound is as good as the Sony CDs. The other plus for a novice would be that there are ... see all copies from $12.79! new only from $12.79!
