1	Mississippi Hill Country Blues (2000) more music like this by R.L. Burnside It's a pleasure to hear R.L. Burnside's early acoustic blues played the way he learned them in the hill country of Northern Mississippi. Three of these tracks date from 1967 and were recorded in Coldwater, MS by folklorist George Mitchell, while the remaining 16 were recorded in the early '80s by Swingmaster operator Leo Bruin in Groningen, ... see all copies from $15.75! new only from $15.75!
2	It All Comes Back (1973) more music like this by Paul Butterfield see all copies from $9.55! new only from $9.55!
3	My Mother's Voice (2001) more music like this by Kathy Kallick Kathy Kallick has reached a time in her musical career when she doesn't mind a backward glance at the songs she learned from her mother during her youth. The 17 songs of My Mother's Voice are presented simply, as though a few friends dropped by for an informal jam. This down-to-earth quality infuses overworn classics like "Cotton-Eyed Joe," "Shady ... see all copies from $8.44! new only from $13.64!
4	Friends of Fahey Tribute (2006) more music like this by John Fahey & Friends The album may have an awkward title, but the music it contains is both touching and generally quite graceful. It's an appropriate juxtaposition, since the album celebrates the life and music of guitarist John Fahey, who was himself the same kind of walking contradiction: a notoriously difficult personality with a rare musical gift that expressed ... see all copies from $14.47! new only from $14.47!
5	The Blues Anthology (2005) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf see all copies from $10.05! new only from $10.05!
6	Steak (2000) more music like this by Guy Forsyth Traditionally speaking, Guy Forsyth isn't strictly a bluesman. True, he covers Bo Diddley and Muddy Waters, but he is more concerned with expanding the palette of the blues than paying reverence to his idols. His style varies wildly from song to song, from the straight Delta blues of "Poor Boy" to the slouching psychedelic monster "Good Time Man." ... see all copies from $26.99!
7	Dyer-Bennet, Vol. 1 (1997) more music like this by Richard Dyer-Bennet The first of Richard Dyer-Bennet's releases on his eponymous independent label is also among his very best; beautifully sung and impeccably crafted, #1 is also a landmark recording as one of the earliest and most successful artist-owned albums ever issued. Smithsonian Folkways' excellent reissue sports extensive liner notes and superbly remastered ... see all copies from $9.95! new only from $16.37!
8	Masters (1998) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf If you're expecting these to be Wolf's celebrated Chess recordings, guess again. Despite the hyperbole in the title, what this 16-tracker offers instead is a package divided evenly between tracks from 1971's London Howlin' Wolf Sessions -- a session so uninspired that Eric Clapton has frequently disparaged his participation on it -- and a live ... see all copies from $4.99!
9	My Black Name A-Ringin' (1999) more music like this by R.L. Burnside R.L. Burnside has been playing the blues since the '50s, but providing for his large family (he would eventually have 13 children) and his love for his hometown kept him from supporting himself with his music until the '80s. These recordings were made in 1969 when blues musician Big Joe Williams led a carload of Adelphi Records filmmakers and ... see all copies from $14.05! new only from $14.05!
10	Hard Travelin' Man (2007) more music like this by Woody Guthrie What's good about this Woody Guthrie compilation? Well, the most important thing: the music, which is bedrock mid-20th century American folk. What's also good is that there's a lot of it, adding up to 28 tracks in all. What's not so good is there's absolutely no annotation as far as recording and release dates, or songwriting credits. Even the ... see all copies from $18.07! new only from $18.07!
11 view cover	The Original Lost Elektra Sessions (1964) more music like this by The Paul Butterfield Blues Band All but one of these 19 tracks were recorded in December, 1964, as Paul Butterfield Blues Band's projected first LP; the results were scrapped and replaced by their official self-titled debut, cut a few months later. With both Michael Bloomfield and Elvin Bishop already in tow, these sessions rank among the earliest blues-rock ever laid down. ... see all copies from $9.20! new only from $9.20!
12 view cover	Kerry Kearney (1999) more music like this by Kerry Kearney New York City slide guitar demon Kerry Kearney (pronounced "Karney") comes to the table with this, his self-titled third album but his first for a label other than his own. This one finds him casting his slide guitar in different guises (acoustic Delta bluesman, Lowell George country trucker, frameworks for Bob Seger-styled power ballads, Cajun ... see all copies from $11.13! new only from $11.13!
13 view cover	The Best of Howlin' Wolf [Master Classic] (2004) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf see all copies from $9.56! new only from $9.56!
14 view cover	Joshua (1975) more music like this by Peg Leg Sam Originally released on the indie label Blue Labor in 1975, Joshua is the first record Peg Leg Sam ever recorded, and it certainly shows his roots as a medicine show performer. The music falls halfway between medicine show burlesque and straight country-blues. Peg Leg Sam was a fine harmonica player and guitarist who captured the essence of the ... see all copies from $14.26!
