2	Tell Me Pretty Baby (1947) more music like this by Big Joe Turner Lusty, romping jump blues and boogies from 1947-1949 that team Big Joe Turner with his longtime piano partner Pete Johnson and a coterie of solid L.A. sessioneers. The two dozen entries include party rockers like "Wine-O-Baby Boogie," "Christmas Date Boogie," "I Don't Dig It," and an incredibly raunchy two-part "Around the Clock Blues" (where ... see all copies from $14.78! new only from $14.78!
3	Jazz Kansas City Style (1996) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $16.90! new only from $16.90!
4	Shoutin' the Blues [Catfish] (2000) more music like this by Big Joe Turner This is an excellent collection of Big Joe Turner's early blues sides from the '40s. Cut before Turner gained widespread fame scoring rock & roll hits for Atlantic, the 26 cuts here were recorded on both coasts while the singer notched up a slew of gigs nationwide. Working for several labels, including RPM, Aladdin, and MGM, Turner waxed immortal ... see all copies from $14.47! new only from $14.47!
5	Cherry Red: The Essential Recordings Of Big Joe Turner (2000) more music like this by Big Joe Turner Big Joe Turner, whose early trademark mix of jump blues and jazz-inflected R&B still sounds alive and vital some seventy years later, was arguably at his best when the vocalist was paired with veteran stride pianist Pete Johnson. This set features the Turner/Johnson team on their first big hit, 1938's "Roll 'Em Pete," and the fully realized ... see all copies from $5.48! new only from $17.41!
6	Atlantic Jazz: Kansas City (1990) more music like this by Various Artists The Kansas City sound brought earthy yet lithe energy to both jazz and R&B: From the impulsive swing of Bennie Moten and Count Basie to Big Joe Turner's genre-straddling work, K.C.'s impact on music can be heard in rock, soul, and even funk. As part of its mammoth jazz box set, Atlantic spotlights such key K.C. figures as Jay McShann, alto ... see all copies from $8.69! new only from $10.00!
7	Big, Bad & Blue: The Big Joe Turner Anthology (1994) more music like this by Big Joe Turner This three-record anthology shows how Turner, without really ever changing his style, moved from strict Kansas City swing to pioneering rock & roll and back to basic jazzy blues. It contains 62 songs, everything from treasured hits to slow, sweltering ballads, strident up-tempo wailers, moaning blues, novelty tunes, and fiery pieces with lyrics ... see all copies from $31.99!
8	Honey Hush (1996) more music like this by Big Joe Turner see all copies from $3.26!
9	Live in '63 (2003) more music like this by J.B. Lenoir/Sunnyland Slim Fuel 2000 released this live date with guitarist J.B. Lenoir and pianist Sunnyland Slim almost 33 years after the original session took place at Nina's Lounge, a small club on the near west side of Chicago. The disc moves along at a brisk pace with both Lenoir and Sunnyland in fine shape, whether in a solo context (Sunnyland has three solo spots ... see all copies from $5.99!
10	Shout, Rattle and Roll (2005) more music like this by Big Joe Turner In his informative and wildly irreverent book Unsung Heroes of Rock 'n' Roll, Nick Tosches devotes a chapter to the life and career of blues shouter Big Joe Turner, whom he repeatedly refers to as "a big fat f k." Part of the charm of Tosches' book is he manages to make this sound like a compliment, and after listening to the exhaustive box set ... see all copies from $23.04! new only from $23.04!**
11	I've Been to Kansas City (1940) more music like this by Big Joe Turner This excellent 1990 CD reissues singer Big Joe Turner's first eight recordings for Decca and the six songs (plus two alternate takes) that he made with the remarkable pianist Art Tatum. Turner is joined by trumpeter Hot Lips Page and a top Kansas City group (including pianist Pete Johnson) for "Piney Brown Blues," has four surprisingly effective ... see all copies from $6.50!
12	Everyday I Have the Blues (1975) more music like this by Big Joe Turner This CD reissues one of Big Joe Turner's better Pablo releases. In 1975 Turner's voice was still strong and he had a compatible four-piece group that featured veteran guitarist Pee Wee Crayton. With guest Sonny Stitt contributing typically boppish solos on tenor and alto, Turner sings mostly familiar material (including "Stormy Monday," "Piney ... see all copies from $10.35! new only from $10.35!

14 view cover	Roots of Muddy Waters (2001) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $17.23! new only from $17.23!
15 view cover	Essential Recordings (2001) more music like this by Big Joe Turner By the time Cleopatra assembled Essential Recordings, there was hardly a lack of Big Joe Turner anthologies on the market. In one respect, then, this 2001 compilation is largely unnecessary. Arhoolie, Atlantic, and Savoy Jazz had already devoted sets to specific periods of the singer's career. Essential Recordings is much broader in scope, ... see all copies from $6.82! new only from $6.82!
16 view cover	What a Wonderful World (1999) more music like this by Jay McShann Jay McShann was 83 at the time of this CD, but the pianist-singer sounds very much in prime form and had certainly not lost his enthusiasm. He teams up with some of the better Kansas City musicians active in the late '90s (tenor saxophonist Ahmad Alaadeen, guitarist Sonny Kenner, bassist Gerald Spaits, and drummer Todd Strait) on a variety of ... see all copies from $13.33! new only from $13.33!
17 view cover	Martin Scorsese Presents the Blues: Piano Blues (2003) more music like this by Original Soundtrack Clint Eastwood's chapter in Martin Scorsese Presents the Blues centers around the piano's role in the development of the blues. In typical Eastwood fashion, he goes not for the easy or common associations of the instrument with the music, but looks expansively at how the restricted sonics of the piano as a melodic instrument and its possibilities ... see all copies from $11.03! new only from $11.03!
