1	The Roots of Rock 'n' Roll: 1946-1954 (2004) more music like this by Various Artists Of the numerous various-artist compilation CDs that have attempted to anthologize the recordings of the late '40s and early '50s most crucial to planting the seeds for rock & roll, this three-CD, 60-song set is probably the most definitive. Most prior collections along these lines have failed to present a truly comprehensive picture of rock & roll ... see all copies from $35.08! new only from $35.08!
2	Roy Milton & His Solid Senders [Specialty] (1990) more music like this by Roy Milton & His Solid Senders This is more great stuff from the "Legends Of Specialty" series. Drummer and vocalist Roy Milton was one of the first artists signed to Juke Box Records, the label that became Specialty, and his "R.M. Blues" was a factor in getting the label capitalized. The Solid Senders came about, in part, because of the growing economic unfeasibility of the ... see all copies from $11.26! new only from $11.26!
3	Specialty Profiles [2 Disc] (2006) more music like this by Roy Milton As part of the Specialty Profiles series, New Orleans vocalist, bandleader, and drummer Roy Milton & His Solid Senders are highlighted with 14 tunes recorded for the label between 1945 and 1953. Not as raucous as future rock & roll pioneers on the Specialty roster like Little Richard and Lloyd Price, Roy Milton & His Solid Senders specialized in ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.06!
4	Central Avenue Sounds: Jazz in Los Angeles 1921-1956 (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Los Angeles is not usually seen as a hotbed of African-American musical creativity in the first half of the 20th century, but this deluxe box set deflates that misconception in a hurry. From 1921 to 1956 -- the time frame covered by the four discs of Central Avenue Sounds -- jazz of all kinds flourished on Central Avenue, L.A.'s main stem of sepia ... see all copies from $33.80! new only from $45.99!

7	The Walk: Jimmy McCracklin at His Best (1997) more music like this by Jimmy McCracklin McCracklin has always been one of those artists whose currency always ran higher in the black blues community than it has in the subsequent years of white historical revision. But decent career retrospectives of McCracklin -- who had sides issued on almost a dozen labels in as many years -- on compact disc are somewhere between few and far between ... see all copies from $5.00!
8	Birth of Rhythm & Blues (2001) more music like this by Various Artists While rhythm & blues has a pedigree stretching back to the dawn of the 20th century, it was only in the late '30s that smaller groups began jumping with the energy of swing and the spirit of the blues. The Birth of Rhythm & Blues, a three-disc box from Golden Stars, trawls through the subsequent decade and casts a wide net over the jazz, blues, ... see all copies from $8.37! new only from $8.37!
9	Specialty Records Greatest Hits (2001) more music like this by Various Artists The Specialty label was one of the leading companies of both postwar rhythm & blues and early rock & roll.

12 view cover	The R&B Box: 30 Years of Rhythm & Blues (1994) more music like this by Various Artists Encapsulating the history of R&B in a box set, even one that spans six discs, is a ridiculous task. Inevitably, there will be important artists and songs that are missing, no matter how comprehensive the set is. Rhino's R&B Box -- 30 Years of Rhythm and Blues suffers from that very problem. While it contains some of the classic tracks, it lacks ... see all copies from $131.58! new only from $131.58!

14	R.M. Blues (1985) more music like this by Roy Milton Specialty's R.M. Blues is a fine collection that features 15 highlights from Roy Milton's jumping Specialty recordings. While his time at Specialty was unquestionably the finest period of his career, and there are some timeless performances here ("R.M. Blues," "Night and Day," "Wakin' Up Baby," "Milton's Boogie," "Information Blues"), these same ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!

These include such classics as "R.M. Blues," "The Hucklebuck," and "Hop, Skip & Jump" (given a great rockabilly treatment in the 1950s by the Collins Kids). All of the tracks are ... see all copies from $12.49!
