1	Blues Masters: The Very Best of T-Bone Walker (2000) more music like this by T-Bone Walker A title as lofty as The Very Best of T-Bone Walker begs the question, "Does this CD really contain the seminal Texas bluesman's very best work?" And in fact, this 2000 release (which spans 1945-1957), does contain some of Walker's finest, most essential recordings of the '40s and '50s. It isn't the only collection focusing on Walker's recordings ... see all copies from $13.09! new only from $13.09!

3	All Your Love I Miss Loving: Live at the Wise Fools Pub Chicago (2005) more music like this by Otis Rush Despite deservedly being one of the towering figures of Chicago blues guitar, Otis Rush's recorded output has been both intermittent and inconsistent for various reasons. After his famed Cobra and Chess sides of the '50s and very early '60s, his career trudged along in first gear but it looked like he might break through in the '70s with a handful ... see all copies from $13.34! new only from $13.34!
4	Original Source (2002) more music like this by T-Bone Walker This is, especially for the money, an excellent overview of the career of Aaron Thibeaux Walker (aka T-Bone Walker).

5	Complete Blue Horizon Sessions (2006) more music like this by Chicken Shack Formed and led by guitarist/vocalist Stan Webb, Chicken Shack were one of the first bands to be signed to the Blue Horizon label in the mid-'60s.

While never attaining any success in the States, Chicken Shack were well known in the U.K., with fleeting success ... see all copies from $16.37! new only from $16.37!
6	Central Avenue Sounds: Jazz in Los Angeles 1921-1956 (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Los Angeles is not usually seen as a hotbed of African-American musical creativity in the first half of the 20th century, but this deluxe box set deflates that misconception in a hurry. From 1921 to 1956 -- the time frame covered by the four discs of Central Avenue Sounds -- jazz of all kinds flourished on Central Avenue, L.A.'s main stem of sepia ... see all copies from $33.80! new only from $45.99!

8	L.A. Ya Ya (1990) more music like this by Various Artists A compilation disc that aims to highlight the long-overlooked L.A. blues scene...There's energy, chops, and laughs aplenty on this disc, but absolutely nothing that makes any of these bands more distinctive than a ton of similar genre enthusiasts...That is to say, all the grandstanding elements of barroom R&B are on display here: good choices in ... see all copies from $1.99!

11 view cover	Mosaic Select: Freddie Slack (2005) more music like this by Freddie Slack Freddie Slack was the pianist with Jimmy Dorsey's orchestra during part of the 1930s before becoming well known for playing boogie-woogie with Will Bradley's band, most notably on the hit "Beat Me Daddy, Eight to the Bar." In 1941 Slack went out on his own, forming a big band that soon signed with the Capitol label. His hit recording of "Cow Cow ... see all copies from $48.86! new only from $48.86!

17 view cover	Born to Be No Good (2002) more music like this by T-Bone Walker With his mix of rough and soft, hot and cool, T-Bone Walker was the prototype for electric guitar slingers everywhere, and while his generally urbane and decidedly jazz approach to playing often gets lost in the T-Bone legend, the fact remains that he was one sweet guitarist. This collection, which concentrates on his earliest 1946-1948 sides for ... see all copies from $6.69! new only from $10.03!
18 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!
