1	The Great Blues Men (1972) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $15.00! new only from $16.21!
2	Frett'n the Blues: Best of the Great Blues Guitarists (2000) more music like this by Various Artists In the 1960s, lovers of electric blues had a lot to choose from -- not only the Chicago blues, but also the electric blues of Texas, Louisiana, Detroit, and Memphis. Vanguard's electric blues output of the 1960s is the main focus of this 2000 compilation, which spans 1965-1968 and spotlights some of the guitar playing singers who recorded for the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $15.40!
3	My First Recordings (1997) more music like this by Lowell Fulson Twenty-six tracks that Fulson cut between 1946 and 1951 for the Swing Time, Big Town, and Down Town labels. This is far more sparsely produced, and less urbane in feel, than the material Lowell would record for Chess throughout the 1950s. Indeed, on ten of the cuts, he's supported only by his brother Martin on rhythm guitar; there's a small combo ... see all copies from $16.37! new only from $16.37!
4	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!
5	The Best of Mississippi Fred McDowell (2001) more music like this by Mississippi Fred McDowell Mississippi Fred McDowell lays down Delta blues as though time pretty much stood still. Discovered by Alan Lomax in the late '50s, his career as an authentic bluesman took off in the '60s, thanks to Arhoolie. The Best of Mississippi Fred McDowell showcases the singer's gritty vocals and slide guitar on some of his best '60s work. The power of ... see all copies from $11.54! new only from $11.54!
6	The Road to Robert Johnson (2007) more music like this by Robert Johnson see all copies from $25.43! new only from $25.43!
7	Great Composers of New Orleans Jazz (1997) more music like this by Silver Leaf Jazz Band The most interesting aspect to this fine New Orleans jazz CD is that nearly all of the 15 selections are very obscure songs from the 1916-30 era, including a previously unheard Louis Armstrong composition ("Papa, What You Are Trying to Do to Me I've Been Doing It for Years"). Only "Shim-Me-Sha-Wabble" qualifies as a standard; the next best-known ... see all copies from $3.88!
8	1946 to 1953 (2004) more music like this by Lowell Fulson Guitarist/singer Lowell Fulson has long been an overlooked blues innovator, overshadowed by more commercially successful artists such as B.B. King. In truth, Fulson gave King "Three O'Clock Blues," which became a hit for King in the '50s. British label JSP does its best to present a more complete picture of Fulson with the four-CD box set Lowell ... see all copies from $25.71! new only from $25.71!
9	1925-1927 (2006) more music like this by The University Six The University Six were a small group comprised of members of the California Ramblers, a popular big band that only seems to have existed in the recording studios. The star of the University Six was usually Adrian Rollini, who was the greatest bass saxophonist of all time, an easy position for him to have since the instrument was otherwise largely ... see all copies from $18.10! new only from $18.10!
10	The Original West Coast Blues (2001) more music like this by Lowell Fulson "Fulson's Blues (Bad Luck and Trouble)" and "San Francisco Blues" are the highlights of this collection drawn from Lowell Fulson's earliest recordings for independent West Coast labels like Big Town and Swing Time. Both of these songs are gentle classics, with Fulson's clear, unadorned vocals and guitar runs meshing wonderfully, and a lot of this ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!

14 view cover	Complete Recorded Works, Vol. 3 (1925-1927) (1925) more music like this by Ida Cox The third of four "complete" Ida Cox CDs from Document has 14 selections from 1925, six from 1926 and four from 1927. Most of the sessions feature the masterful blues singer assisted by Lovie Austin's Blues Serenaders, whose personnel was changing during this era -- they featured either Tommy Ladnier, the underrated Bob Shoffner, Bernie Young or ... see all copies from $14.81! new only from $14.81!

17 view cover	1947-1948 (2003) more music like this by Lowell Fulson This is a collection of early Lowell Fulson sides recorded for several small labels in 1947 and early 1948, prior to Fulson's signing with Swing Time Records (two of his Swing Time sides are included here, "Scotty's Blues" and "This Train Is Leaving"). Although there is a charming and unadorned simplicity to several of these tracks, including the ... see all copies from $10.95! new only from $10.95!

19 view cover	1946-1947 (2002) more music like this by Lowell Fulson Choctaw Native and African-American bluesman Lowell Fulson was born near Tulsa, OK, in 1921 and grew up in the town of Atoka, which is right up against the Texas/Oklahoma border. Inspired by Blind Lemon Jefferson and one Coot Mason, an itinerant musician remembered as a "hillbilly guitarist," young Fulson moved to Ada, OK, in 1938 and began ... see all copies from $10.95! new only from $10.95!

21 view cover	Robert Johnson Classics: Hellhound on My Trail (2004) more music like this by Various Artists It's really difficult to say what this collection is trying to do, since there are no tracks by Robert Johnson on it, and what is here seems split between tracks that might have influenced Johnson, tracks that may have been influenced by him, tracks that have no apparent connection to Johnson whatsoever, and a handful of tracks that make mention ... see all copies from $29.69! new only from $29.69!
