1	Slowhand (1977) more music like this by Eric Clapton After the guest-star-drenched No Reason to Cry failed to make much of an impact commercially, Eric Clapton returned to using his own band for Slowhand. The difference is substantial -- where No Reason to Cry struggled hard to find the right tone, Slowhand opens with the relaxed, bluesy shuffle of J.J. Cale's "Cocaine" and sustains it throughout ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $8.49!
2	King of the Electric Blues (1997) more music like this by Muddy Waters The first 20-bit remastering of any of Muddy's late career work for Johnny Winter's Blue Sky label is of considerable interest. The fact that, in the wake of the earlier Blues Sky best-of disc, there's enough material to do another 60-minute-plus collection, also speaks well for this catalog. The clarity of the Super Bit Mapping audio brings out a ... see all copies from $2.75! new only from $8.58!
3	Crossroads, Vol. 2: Live in the Seventies (1996) more music like this by Eric Clapton Crossroads was a box set that appealed to both beginners and fanatics. Crossroads 2: Live in the Seventies only appeals to fanatics. Spanning four discs and consisting almost entirely of live material (there are a handful of studio outtakes), this is music that will only enthrall completists and archivists. For those listeners, there is a wealth ... see all copies from $34.95! new only from $48.52!
4	New York Blues and R&B 1947-1955 (2007) more music like this by Sticks McGhee This fascinating set is really the story of two brothers, Stick McGhee and Brownie McGhee, both of whom were guitarists (Brownie being good enough to actually work regularly as a session player). Stick recorded a song he had written, "Drinkin' Wine Spo-Dee-O-Dee," in 1947 (with his brother Brownie sitting in on guitar) for J. Mayo Williams' tiny ... see all copies from $24.31! new only from $24.31!
5	Lightnin' (1961) more music like this by Lightnin' Hopkins Recorded for Prestige's Bluesville subsidiary in 1960 and reissued on CD for Fantasy's Original Blues Classics (OBC) series in 1990, Lightnin' is among the rewarding acoustic dates Lightnin' Hopkins delivered in the early '60s. The session has an informal, relaxed quality, and this approach serves a 48-year-old Hopkins impressively well on both ... see all copies from $4.89! new only from $12.20!
6	Ace of Harps (1990) more music like this by Charlie Musselwhite "This is the best band I've ever had," Musselwhite proclaims on the back of this LP; longtime fans would find that debatable. Rather than schooled on the Chess sounds that provided Charlie with his foundation, these guys play a Malaco strain of blues, and Tommy Hill is simply one of the busiest (read: obnoxious) drummers anywhere. A "Boogie ... see all copies from $8.50! new only from $8.50!
7	The Best of the Early Years (2007) more music like this by B.B. King There have been numerous compilations of the best of B.B. King's recordings for the Modern label in the 1950s and early '60s, and if you've already picked up one of them, there isn't an urgent reason to replace or upgrade it with this CD. If not, however, this certainly makes a good bid to be considered as the best single-disc anthology of this ... see all copies from $15.37! new only from $15.37!
8	John Hammond (1962) more music like this by John Hammond see all copies from $8.00! new only from $12.06!
9	Blues Had a Baby (1999) more music like this by Lurrie Bell The blues of Lurrie Bell comes from a turbulent place, but there's no denying the man can play. This album brings together tracks from three different sessions, the bulk being held in 1997. Supported by a spartan rhythm section, Bell sprays kamikaze guitar licks over a bevy of old standards like "Five Long Years," "Who Do You Love," "Mean Old ... see all copies from $10.78! new only from $10.78!
10	The Alligator Records 20th Anniversary Tour (1993) more music like this by Various Artists Recorded on live on Alligator Records' 20th Anniversary Tour, this double disc set is a showcase for the label's artists. Featuring an array of their most popular acts -- Koko Taylor, Lonnie Brooks, Lil' Ed and the Blues Imperials, Elvin Bishop -- the record doesn't deliver any surprises, yet these performances are frequently more exciting than ... see all copies from $9.77! new only from $9.77!
11 view cover	The Folkways Years: 1959-1973 (2000) more music like this by Memphis Slim These 21 tracks, selected from the recordings Memphis Slim did for Folkways, tend to be in solo piano or sparsely accompanied arrangements, as one would figure since Folkways was a traditionally oriented label. Still, it doesn't sound like a forced or awkward attempt to steer the pianist toward an outdated approach. It's just on the quiet and ... see all copies from $14.78! new only from $14.78!
12 view cover	Done Some Travelin' (1972) more music like this by Frank Edwards Edwards' only album was recorded for Trix in 1972, and it was a masterpiece of bemused originals, odd covers, spiritual cries, and hedonistic shouts. If you have never heard of Frank Edwards, and few have, don't miss this one. It won't make him a legend, but it might make people realize that there are still great musicians around whom they've ... see all copies from $3.77! new only from $3.77!
13 view cover	Stages of Clapton (1993) more music like this by Eric Clapton Spectrum's 1993 Stages of Clapton is a curious compilation that offers a little bit of every phrase of the prime of Eric Clapton's career, containing a few cuts from his stint with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, a couple tracks from both Cream and Derek & the Dominos, a cut from Blind Faith, and a solo cut from the '70s. The caveat is, with the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
14 view cover	Roughhousin' (1986) more music like this by Lil' Ed & The Blues Imperials Wild & greasy blues at its best, a two-song session for an anthology turned into an all-night, live-in-the-studio jam. Sounds like it was great fun. Niles J. Frantz, All Music Guide see all copies from $8.00! new only from $15.67!
15 view cover	Confessin' the Blues (1996) more music like this by Little Walter This release is a little confusing, coming out as it does more than a year after the release of MCA-Chess' Little Walter rarities collection Blues with a Feeling, and two years after the double-CD anthology set that contains most of the best parts of this collection. Still, for those who can't afford either of those pricey sets, this disc, coupled ... see all copies from $50.00!
16 view cover	New Orleans Street Singer [Bonus Tracks] (2005) more music like this by Snooks Eaglin Ford "Snooks" Eaglin's first released recordings, the ones collected here, suggested to the world that Eaglin was a great lost country-blues player when he was, in fact, an excellent electric guitar player and a gospel-influenced singer who much preferred playing R&B with a band. When folklorist Harry Oster heard Eaglin busking with his guitar on ... see all copies from $14.50! new only from $14.50!
17 view cover	Swamp Dog Blues (1998) more music like this by Mike Dowling see all copies from $13.75!
18 view cover	30th Birthday: Blues and R&B [EP] (2005) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $6.26! new only from $6.26!
19 view cover	The Best of the Kent Singles 1958-1971 (2000) more music like this by B.B. King This isn't as straightforward an anthology as you might suppose from the title. Yes, it has King singles released on Kent between 1958 and 1971. King, however, left Kent in 1962, after which the label continued putting out singles from the tracks he had done with the company; often, these singles charted. Therefore, all of the material on this CD ... see all copies from $17.15! new only from $17.15!
20 view cover	25 Years of Stony Plain (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Canada's Stony Plain Records specializes in roots rock, folk, country and blues. This two-disc sampler indicates the quality of their catalog, including fine tracks from artists as diverse as Steve Earle,Ian Tyson, Doug Sahm, the Holmes Brothers, Lowell Fulson, and Professor Longhair. Steve Leggett, All Music Guide see all copies from $18.02! new only from $18.02!
21 view cover	The Best of Louisiana Red (1995) more music like this by The Best Of Louisiana Red Assembled from tapes recorded in New York City with producer Herb Abramson between 1965 and 1973, The Best of Louisiana Red is an ideal introduction to one of the blues' most unique and memorable characters. Never a musical innovator, Red's true gift was instead to absorb the lessons of contemporary greats like Muddy Waters and Elmore James, ... see all copies from $10.68! new only from $10.68!
22 view cover	Stages (1993) more music like this by Eric Clapton see all copies from $9.83! new only from $9.83!
23 view cover	Cool Disposition (1999) more music like this by Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup see all copies from $11.37! new only from $11.37!
24 view cover	Modern Downhome Blues Sessions, Vol. 4: Southern Country Blues Guitarists 1948-1952 (2005) more music like this by Various Artists The fourth in a series spotlighting blues releases from the Bihari Brothers' California-based Modern Records label, this installment features gutbucket country-blues, mostly recorded in Atlanta and Dallas between 1948 and 1952. This isn't polished stuff, and while these sides aren't exactly field recordings, they have that same sort of ragged, ... see all copies from $10.70! new only from $10.70!
25 view cover	Mean Old World: The Blues from 1940 to 1994 (1996) more music like this by Various Artists A four-CD, 80-song box set that, in line with similar Smithsonian productions, outlines the history of blues spanning over 50 years, with cuts by major performers who represent its stylistic evolution. The set is stuffed with classics by the likes of Muddy Waters, Louis Jordan, T-Bone Walker, Little Walter, Big Mama Thornton, Howlin' Wolf, Elmore ... see all copies from $50.00! new only from $50.00!
