1	The Definitive Collection (2007) more music like this by Bo Diddley Universal's 2007 set The Definitive Collection is a retitled reissue of the previously released 1997 comp His Best. No matter the title, this is an excellent 20-track roundup of Bo basics. To be sure, not everything great that he did is here by any means -- a bunch of great singles are missing, such as the crushing boogie of "Diddly Wah Diddy," ... see all copies from $12.65! new only from $12.65!
2	Let's Work Together (2001) more music like this by Canned Heat see all copies from $10.00! new only from $16.31!
3	Vintage (1969) more music like this by Canned Heat These are the earliest-known recordings of Canned Heat with the primordial lineup of Alan "Blind Owl" Wilson (guitar/harmonica/vocals), Stuart Brotman (bass), Henry "Sunflower" Vestine (guitar), Bob "The Bear" Hite (vocals), and either Keith Sawyer (drums), or perhaps his replacement, Frank Cook (drums), who joined circa 1966. Another notable name ... see all copies from $12.19! new only from $12.19!
4	The Chess Box (1989) more music like this by Willie Dixon This was the most unusual, and probably the most difficult to assemble of MCA's Chess Box series, mostly because of the unusual nature of Willie Dixon's contribution to Chess Records. To be sure, Dixon rates a place in the history of the label right alongside that of Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, and Little Walter, but his role was more subtle than ... see all copies from $21.94! new only from $21.94!
5	His Best (1997) more music like this by Bo Diddley With Bo Diddley's various hits and anthology packages all out of print and the multi-disc deluxe box set out of pocketbook reach for most casual consumers, MCA finally comes up with a 20-track compilation that hits the bull's-eye and makes this rock pioneer's best and most influential work available to everyone. The song list reads like a primer ... see all copies from $20.59! new only from $20.59!
6	Triumvirate (1973) more music like this by Michael Bloomfield with Dr. John The late guitarist Mike Bloomfield, blues master John Hammond, and the timeless New Orleans funk of Dr. John blend well on this one-time-only outing. Jeff Tamarkin, All Music Guide see all copies from $5.11! new only from $5.11!
7	The Essential Bo Diddley (2001) more music like this by Bo Diddley see all copies from $13.34! new only from $13.34!
8	The Story of Bo Diddley: The Very Best of Bo Diddley (2006) more music like this by Bo Diddley Back in the late '80s, when the CD boom was on and people were busy feeding their new machines like the discs would disappear, MCA Records lavished some attention on the Bo Diddley catalog, putting out a few reissues of his earliest albums, a couple of hits compilations, and one flawed if well-intended box set -- and that was it. Across the nearly ... see all copies from $21.88! new only from $21.88!
9	Bo's Blues (1993) more music like this by Bo Diddley Bo's Blues features 22 of Bo Diddley's best blues-oriented sides from the Chess catalog, including some rare stuff -- the rip-roaring 1959 outing "Run Diddley Daddy," a jive-loaded "Cops and Robbers" from 1956 that features maraca shaker Jerome Green more than Diddley, and a surging "Down Home Special." If you think that everything Bo Diddley ever ... see all copies from $17.74! new only from $17.74!
10	Keepin' It Real (2004) more music like this by Rod Piazza & the Mighty Flyers Keepin' It Real is an aptly titled disc by Rod Piazza & the Mighty Flyers. Among the 13 tracks are edgy performances of such blues standards as "Good Morning Little School Girl," "Baby Please Don't Go," and "Pretty Thing," but it's the six originals that really ignite this set. Since the band had been working out these songs during live shows, the ... see all copies from $15.49! new only from $15.49!
11 view cover	Best of the Vanguard Years (2000) more music like this by John Hammond, Jr. In lieu of a boxed set, the Welk Music Group (which owns the Vanguard Records library) has produced this rock-solid 23-track overview of Hammond's early recordings for Vanguard, covering highlights of the years 1963 through 1967 and his return to the label from 1976 through 1979. The tracks aren't in strict chronological order but are juxtaposed ... see all copies from $18.91! new only from $18.91!
12 view cover	American Roots: Blues (2002) more music like this by Luther "Houserocker" Johnson see all copies from $15.49! new only from $15.49!
13 view cover	Don't Forget to Boogie: Vintage Heat (2002) more music like this by Canned Heat This is actually a CD repackage of the 1966 recordings that appeared back in 1970 on the Janus LP Vintage Canned Heat. Produced by Johnny Otis, this was the group in their early formative stage with the lineup that would play on their official 1967 debut album: Bob Hite, Alan Wilson, Henry Vestine, Larry Taylor, and Frank Cook. All but two of the ... see all copies from $9.00!
14 view cover	Retrospectives (1998) more music like this by Luther "Houserocker" Johnson see all copies from $9.65!
15 view cover	Hot Tracks (1979) more music like this by John Hammond In September of 1979, John Hammond went into Vanguard Records' 23rd Street Studio in New York with the Nighthawks -- Jimmy Thackeray, guitar; Mark Wenner, harmonica; Jan Zukowski, bass; Pete Ragusa, drums -- and cut this record, one of his best (and which might've sold better with maybe some better cover art). The sounds are alternately hot and ... see all copies from $11.30! new only from $11.30!
16 view cover	Rock 'N' Roll Legends (2008) more music like this by Bo Diddley With his patented "shave & a haircut-two bits" rhythm, which he actually didn't invent but did forever bestow with his name, Bo Diddley created as insular a body of work in the late 1950s and early '60s as Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, or any of the other great nascent rockers of the era. This set is a nice introduction to it all, and it includes ... see all copies from $13.14! new only from $13.14!
17 view cover	Giant of the Blues (2008) more music like this by Willie Dixon When Willie Dixon left his native Mississippi and traveled north to Chicago, he almost single-handedly dragged the blues with him into the modern era, giving the country blues a hard, new sheen with his deft songwriting, sturdy bass playing and his considerable talents as a producer and arranger. This two-disc, 47 track set catches Dixon wearing ... see all copies from $21.57! new only from $21.57!
18 view cover	Vintage [Bonus Track] (2007) more music like this by Canned Heat These are the earliest-known recordings of Canned Heat with the primordial lineup of Alan "Blind Owl" Wilson (guitar/harmonica/vocals), Stuart Brotman (bass), Henry "Sunflower" Vestine (guitar), Bob "The Bear" Hite (vocals), and either Keith Sawyer (drums), or perhaps his replacement, Frank Cook (drums), who joined circa 1966. Another notable name ... see all copies from $18.65! new only from $18.65!
