1	King of the Delta Blues Singers (1966) more music like this by Robert Johnson Reading about the power inherent in Robert Johnson's music is one thing, but actually experiencing it is another matter entirely. The official 1998 edition of the original 1961 album was certainly worth the wait, remastered off the best quality original 78s available, of far superior quality to any of the source materials used on even the 1991 ... see all copies from $9.75! new only from $9.75!
2	The Rough Guide to Delta Blues (2002) more music like this by Various Artists A fantastic compilation that really does span the length of Mississippi Delta blues, from the early days of the Mississippi Sheiks and Charley Patton (with the classic "High Water Everywhere Part One") through to the modern but equally rooted sounds of Asie Payton, R.L. Burnside, and the late Junior Kimbrough. And it's every bit as thorough in ... see all copies from $11.09! new only from $11.09!
3	The Lady and Mr. Johnson (2006) more music like this by Rory Block On Rory Block's masterpiece concept album, The Lady and Mr. Johnson, it becomes obvious that she and her guitar are one in the same. The two use each other and live through one another. Block's adoration for the blues has allowed her to explore its various sides, while always remaining true to the sound of her blues idols. Since she first became ... see all copies from $15.44! new only from $15.44!
4	Newport Folk Festival: Best of the Blues 1959-1968 (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Newport Folk Festival: Best of the Blues 1959-1968 presents live performances from many of the top blues players of the era. From Skip James to Mance Lipscomb to Memphis Slim, these musicians play mostly acoustic blues before an appreciative audience. From the first disc, Mississippi John Hurt's six-song set is a standout. Piedmont fingerpicking ... see all copies from $16.86! new only from $20.57!
5	Madison Blues [Bonus DVD] (2005) more music like this by Fleetwood Mac Madison Blues is, for a change, a different kind of Fleetwood Mac compilation. Most are rehashes of the fabled group's years with the elusive guitar genius Peter Green, and his equally iconoclastic partner on the electric six-string, Jeremy Spencer. Green is only present on a couple of tracks here, the rest of this Recall two-disc comp is made up ... see all copies from $22.09! new only from $22.09!

7	At the Crossroads: The Blues of Robert Johnson (2003) more music like this by John Hammond, Jr. If Robert Johnson could look down from heaven or up from hell, he'd likely find it very interesting that John Hammond, Jr. had covered his songs. Here is a white guy, after all, who sounds like a black blues singer and chooses -- of his own free will -- to frequently return to the repertoire of an obscure black guitarist/singer from the 1930s. At ... see all copies from $7.77! new only from $10.67!
8	King of the Delta Blues Singers, Vol. 2 (1970) more music like this by Robert Johnson A wonderful follow-up to the first compilation (King of the Delta Blues Singers) of Robert Johnson's small library of recorded work. This album boasts the first album appearance of "Love in Vain," as well as a number of other blues classics penned by the artist. "Sweet Home Chicago," "I Believe I'll Dust My Broom," "They're Red Hot," and "Malted ... see all copies from $20.00! new only from $20.00!
9	Slide Guitar: Streamline Special (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Although the idea behind Slide Guitar: Streamline Special is a little muddy, it is nevertheless a good sampler that demonstrates the versatility of the slide guitar. Because of licensing agreements, the collection sticks to the Columbia vaults, bypassing such slide greats as Elmore James. Then again, with the exception of Muddy Waters, the ... see all copies from $11.06! new only from $11.06!
10	Texas Shuffle (1982) more music like this by Rocky Hill When Rocky Hill's Tomato Records debut appeared in 1982, he was out of step in a sense, and out of time. Had he showed up a year or so later he could have challenged fellow Texas bluesman Stevie Ray Vaughan for the title; Vaughan would have won, but it would have been a hell of a battle. Hill is a Texas bluesman who walks the line between T-Bone ... see all copies from $3.33! new only from $3.75!

12 view cover	Danse Kalinda Boom (1985) more music like this by Gun Club Recorded in 1983, Danse Kalinda Boom: Live in Pandora's Box suffers from abysmal sound quality, although the performances are electric; Jeffrey Lee Pierce and Kid Congo Powers sound like men possessed on scorching readings of "Sleeping in Blood City" and a cover of Robert Johnson's "Preaching the Blues."

15 view cover	The Greatest Blues Album of All Time, Vol. 1 (2000) more music like this by Various Artists The Greatest Blues Album of All Time, Vol. 1 is an average collection of 16 tracks from both electric and acoustic blues heroes, including John Lee Hooker, Jimmy Reed, Robert Johnson, Bessie Smith, Big Bill Broonzy, and even Billie Holiday. While the sound quality tends to be muddy, this is a decent blues primer for the novice at a bargain-bin ... see all copies from $3.99! new only from $6.31!

18 view cover	Keats Rides a Harley (2005) more music like this by Various Artists Keats Rides a Harley was released as a nine-cut EP in 1981. Released on the legendary Urinals' own Happy Squid label, it contained debut recordings by a number of underground L.A.-based bands -- and one from outside. Some of them, like the Gun Club and the Meat Puppets from Phoenix left a real mark and influenced dozens of bands who came after ... see all copies from $19.58! new only from $19.58!

20 view cover	Some Blues (1990) more music like this by Jay McShann Four different sessions featuring pianist Jay McShann are on this enjoyable CD. The first three numbers team the veteran swing/blues player with bassist Major Holley and drummer Bobby Durham, including a swinging rendition of "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter." There are also three duets with Holley that are particularly valuable ... see all copies from $15.04! new only from $15.04!

22 view cover	The Last of the Great Blues Singers (2002) more music like this by Robert Johnson Although there are dozens of collections like this on the market, there is really no reason to get anything other than the double-disc Complete Recordings on Columbia. It has the best sound, the best annotation, and everything is there. Steve Leggett, All Music Guide see all copies from $2.61! new only from $2.61!
23 view cover	Robert Johnson and the Old School Blues (2003) more music like this by Robert Johnson This two-CD set is a most unusual approach to packaging Robert Johnson's legacy that might not be to the liking of some hardcore purists and collectors, but has some points in its favor. For it combines one CD of actual Johnson recordings with a second CD of songs and artists that could have influenced, or most certainly did influence, the great ... see all copies from $10.16! new only from $10.16!
