1	Front Porch Blues (1999) more music like this by John Jackson Just as the title says: a wonderful brace of simple country blues done in Jackson's warm Piedmont style. At age 75, his fingers are still nimble as he displays on a jazzy "Just Because" and his vocals still resonate nicely. Audiophile note: This album is nicely recorded and sounds like Jackson is performing about two inches from your face. A warm ... see all copies from $15.70! new only from $15.70!
2	Whiskey Is My Habit, Women Is All I Crave: The Best of Leroy Carr (2004) more music like this by Leroy Carr The 40 tracks compiled on this two-disc set represent the entire span of pianist and singer Leroy Carr's recording career that spanned a brief seven years, from 1928-1935. The material represented here -- all but one of these tracks were recorded for the Vocalion label -- features accompaniment by guitarist Scrapper Blackwell on all but one ... see all copies from $23.55! new only from $26.41!
3	Big Fun (1988) more music like this by Elvin Bishop In the 10 years between the release of Hog Heaven and this comeback record, Elvin Bishop was represented in record stores by a Best Of on Capricorn and an album released only in Germany (Is You Is Or Is You Ain't My Baby? on Line Records). Then he signed with Bruce Iglauer's independent blues label Alligator and made this record, which, naturally, ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $11.15!
4	Big City Blues (1964) more music like this by John Hammond see all copies from $8.00! new only from $12.70!
5	In a Family Way (2005) more music like this by Ann Rabson While Ann Rabson has made a name for herself as a member of the popular blues trio, Saffire, it's quite a revelation to hear her solo. Whereas Saffire dazzles with multiple vocalists and the occasional risqué number, Rabson reveals herself as more than another revivalist jumping on the acoustic blues wagon. Sure, she can write within the tradition ... see all copies from $7.99! new only from $9.22!
6	Right to Sing the Blues (1996) more music like this by Long John Baldry One of the founding fathers of the '60s British Blues scene, Long John Baldry owns one of the great white blues voices, a power that remains undiminished for Right To Sing The Blues. The disc forms another consistent Baldry primer visiting the rich diversity of blues styles, from the quiet folk-blues of "Whoa Back Buck" (longtime colleague Papa ... see all copies from $11.85! new only from $11.85!
7	Sideman Serenade (1990) more music like this by David Bromberg Bromberg's debut for Rounder included versions of traditional blues, country, folk and soul/R&B tunes. He sang them earnestly and backed himself tastefully while working with both large groups and small combos. The guest roster included everyone from Dr. John to Jackson Browne and David Lindley, as well as Chris Daniels and the Kings and some ... see all copies from $10.85! new only from $10.85!
8	Gigs: Reminiscing in Music (2000) more music like this by Peter Ecklund A veteran sit-in cornetist with various Dixieland bands and the backup groups of Leon Redbone, David Bromberg, and more recently Madeleine Peyroux, Ecklund's folk-derived swing is expressed through a variety of different combos on these 15 cuts, eight written by the leader. Some feature dual acoustic guitarists Peyroux and Steve Cardenas, others ... see all copies from $10.78! new only from $10.78!
9	The Story of the Blues [CBS/Columbia] (1995) more music like this by Various Artists When writer and blues scholar Paul Oliver first came along, the genre he specialized in was something of a mystery to the music audience. Young listeners hearing the Rolling Stones do an old Delta blues number on the group's very first record usually thought this was some kind of original concept, not a tribute to a great Afro-American art form ... see all copies from $13.99!
10	Southbound Blues (1994) more music like this by Leroy Carr With or without the great guitarist Scrapper Blackwell, pianist Carr remains among the greatest 1930s Chicago bluesmen. This re-release includes two of his best numbers, "Midnight Hour Blues" and "Hurry Down Sunshine." At last here it is: an expensive German import worth twice the price for those two classics alone. John Storm Roberts, Original ... see all copies from $24.99!

13 view cover	Men of Blues (1998) more music like this by Various Artists This curious three-disc box set mixes in old blues 78s with latter rediscovery recordings to form a rather random, but pleasantly cohesive (if somewhat cursory) introduction to early blues. The wide variety of styles here is impressive, though, ranging from the guttural roars of Charley Patton and Son House, through the highly personalized blues ... see all copies from $16.38! new only from $16.38!

16 view cover	Self Portrait in Blues (1995) more music like this by Paul Geremia This collection of vintage style blues is quite enjoyable. Paul Geremia, who is heard on guitar, piano, harmonica, and vocals, is joined by veteran violinist Howard Armstrong and bassist Roxy McLeod on some selections; seven of the 14 performances are unaccompanied. In addition to seven Geremia originals, there are tunes by Skip James, Leroy Carr, ... see all copies from $16.21! new only from $16.21!

18 view cover	Prison Bound Blues (2004) more music like this by Leroy Carr Leroy Carr's easy, midtempo piano blues sits at the crossroads of an earlier rural style and the more urbane city styles that would take hold as the 1940s dawned. Usually accompanied by guitarist Scrapper Blackwell, Carr was hardly a virtuoso pianist or singer, but he was always comfortably accessible, and his unhurried style influenced countless ... see all copies from $9.56! new only from $9.56!

22 view cover	Generations of Blues, Vol. 1 (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Subtitled "Legendary Guitarists," this compilation includes B.B. King's "The Thrill Is Gone" and Freddie King's "Hideaway," with immortal all-time memorable guitar solos. There is a nice addition of acoustic guitarists. There's Rev. Gary Davis (doing a precious "You Got to Move,") Skip James, Mississippi Fred McDowell, Mississippi John Hurt and ... see all copies from $3.95! new only from $3.95!

25 view cover	Broke, Black and Blue [Box] (1999) more music like this by Various Artists This four-disc, 100-track box set differs from most blues compendiums on a number of fronts. For openers, it focuses on the first 20 years of blues recordings, from 1924's "Barrelhouse Blues" by Ed Andrews to 1946's "Rhythm Mama" by Johnny Temple. Second, even though there are entries from artists like Blind Blake, Mississippi John Hurt, Son House ... see all copies from $23.63! new only from $23.63!
