1	The Original Delta Blues (1998) more music like this by Son House Columbia/Legacy's The Original Delta Blues is a fine distillation of the label's double-disc set Father of the Delta Blues, containing 16 highlights from that comprehensive overview of his '60s rediscovery recordings. Curious listeners who are intimidated by the size of the previous set are advised to pick up this terrific sampler instead. ... see all copies from $5.11! new only from $5.11!
2	Me & the Devil (2001) more music like this by Peter Green & Robert Johnson While it's no secret that guitar king Peter Green is obsessed with Robert Johnson, having done two previous recordings of his music, this box is in essence something else. There are three CDs included here, one of which is Hot Foot Powder, the first album by the Peter Green Splinter Group, which included guest performances from the likes of Otis ... see all copies from $6.28! new only from $19.88!
3	Hot Foot Powder (2000) more music like this by Peter Green & Nigel Watson Splinter Group Hot Foot Powder is Peter Green's second album made up entirely of covers of the music by the legendary Delta bluesman Robert Johnson. In fact, with this album and its predecessor, The Robert Johnson Songbook, Green has recorded every song that Robert Johnson is known to have composed and recorded. Where Johnson often played and sang like a man ... see all copies from $10.53! new only from $10.53!
4	Doctors, Professors, Kings and Queens: The Big Ol' Box of New Orleans (2004) more music like this by Various Artists It reads splendidly on paper: Shout Factory's Doctors, Professors, Kings and Queens: The Big Ol' Box of New Orleans is a traveler's guide to the legendary city's rich musical heritage. Over the course of four discs, it attempts to touch on all of the kinds of music associated with New Orleans -- everything from brass bands and piano blues to ... see all copies from $51.23! new only from $51.23!
5	King of the Delta Blues Singers, Vol. 2 [Bonus Track] (2004) more music like this by Robert Johnson King of the Delta Blues Singers,is a wonderful follow-up to the first compilation of Robert Johnson's small library of recorded work.

6	Early Morning Blues: The Complete Blue Rider Trio Sessions (2007) more music like this by The Blue Rider Trio Early Morning Blues combines the Blue Rider Trio's two albums, 1991's Preachin' the Blues and 2000's Harp, Steel and Guts, in one package, essentially creating a complete recorded works set for this fervent but hardly innovative Maryland acoustic blues ensemble. Featuring Ben Andrews on vocals, acoustic guitar and National Steel guitar, Mark ... see all copies from $17.24! new only from $17.24!
7	Out of the Madness (1998) more music like this by The Derek Trucks Band Whereas guitar phenom Trucks' first album was of the improvisational sort to the highest degree, fusing Coltrane and Sun Ra to Hendrix, this second effort (his first for the House of Blues imprint) puts his playing and music more firmly in Southern American roots music territory. With guest shots from Warren Haynes ("Good Morning Little Schoolgirl ... see all copies from $18.70!
8	Oberlin College Concert (1995) more music like this by Son House The "re-discovery" of the folk-blues tradition in the mid 1960s brought a second wave of fame to many performers. Son House's career was given a new lease of life when the singer performed at regular blues and folk festivals around the US, which led to House playing the college circuit. The Oberlin College Concert, recorded when House was sixty ... see all copies from $44.99!
9	King Clarentz (1999) more music like this by Clarence Brewer Clarence Brewer, better-known as King Clarentz around the Ozark mountain area where he's a fixture on the local scene, mixes the infectious boogie rhythms of John Lee Hooker with the edgier juke joint blues modalism of R.L. Burnside and up-to-the-minute lyrics for a blend that's both irresistible and unique in modern blues. Brewer has developed a ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $24.32!
10	Blue Devil Blues (1991) more music like this by Keri Leigh & the Blue Devils Keri Leigh's debut album isn't much more than standard Texas blues, but her passion for the music shines through every song, and that is what makes it a worthwhile listen. Leigh and guitarist Mark Lyon lead the band through eight covers and three fairly average originals, but they deliver the material with conviction, especially when they attack ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!

14 view cover	Bands That Can Boogie Woogie (2004) more music like this by Various Artists Boogie-woogie had two major periods of popularity, first in the 1910s and '20s strictly as a solo-piano phenomenon, then during World War II as a large-group style and popular phenomenon. Jasmine's four-disc compilation of boogie-woogie could well have been an exhausting proposition if it had kept only to solo piano players, but since it expands ... see all copies from $24.10! new only from $24.10!

18 view cover	Got Love If You Want It (1992) more music like this by John Hammond In many ways, Got Love If You Want It is standard-issue John Hammond, Jr. The album is filled with covers by great bluesmen like Son House and Slim Harpo, as well as rock & rollers like Chuck Berry. The difference is ability -- Hammond is a professional and is able to pull off convincing performances of these warhorses. Backed by Little Charlie ... see all copies from $2.17! new only from $2.17!
19 view cover	Pre-War Classic Sides (2007) more music like this by Sidney Bechet Covering the years 1931-1940 and packed with informative liner notes as well as a detailed discography, this four-CD chronological tribute to New Orleans master clarinetist and soprano saxophonist Sidney Bechet places his essential work in context within a remarkably diverse weave of collaborations with some of the best jazz musicians active in ... see all copies from $26.40! new only from $26.40!

John Storm Roberts, ... see all copies from $8.49!
21 view cover	Martin Scorsese Presents the Blues: Son House (2003) more music like this by Son House This collection spotlights the great Delta bluesman Son House at three distinct points in his life.

23 view cover	Peter Plays the Blues: The Classic Compositions of Robert Johnson (2002) more music like this by Peter Green/Nigel Watson Peter Green is appropriately reverent on this album of songs written by blues legend Robert Johnson. With Johnson's own recordings readily available, the album isn't really necessary, at least when Green employs the same spare instrumentation as the master. But on tracks like "Cross Road Blues" that use drums, electric bass, and electric guitar in ... see all copies from $10.30! new only from $10.30!

25 view cover	Inspect For Damaged Gods (2004) more music like this by Soldier String Quartet Recorded over the course of the mid- '90s, Inspect for Damaged Gods covers much of the avant-garde territory that the Soldier String Quartet's various incarnations are known for. The album starts out in a scratchy, twangy, old-time rendition of a Robert Johnson number, followed immediately with Bo Diddley's eponymous hit (which Soldier likely took ... see all copies from $6.11! new only from $6.11!
