4	Ragtime Texas: 1927-1929 (2000) more music like this by Henry Thomas Many versions of "John Henry" exist, but Henry Thomas's version, because of his use of reeds, is unique. The reeds have a light, radiant air that lifts this song to something joyous. Thomas was born in Texas in 1874 and didn't record his first sessions until he was in his early fifties. His music incorporated blues and patched together songs ( ... see all copies from $14.80! new only from $14.80!
5	In Tribute to Josh White: House of Rising Son (1999) more music like this by Josh White Jr. All things considered, it's somewhat surprising that Josh White, Jr. hadn't recorded a full-fledged tribute album for his father earlier, but however long overdue the collection is, it more than makes up for the delay with the quality of the collection. Creating a truly fitting tribute, he displays the wonderfully rich guitar playing and singing ... see all copies from $3.49! new only from $8.79!
6	The Paramount Masters (2004) more music like this by Various Artists Paramount Records didn't know it at the time, but they created one of the most valuable catalogs of early American blues and jazz music ever assembled. Formed by a furniture company called the Wisconsin Chair Company in the mid-teens to facilitate sales for their new phonograph cabinets, Paramount Records (along with its subsidiary labels Broadway ... see all copies from $21.31! new only from $25.71!
7	Front Porch Blues (1999) more music like this by John Jackson Just as the title says: a wonderful brace of simple country blues done in Jackson's warm Piedmont style. At age 75, his fingers are still nimble as he displays on a jazzy "Just Because" and his vocals still resonate nicely. Audiophile note: This album is nicely recorded and sounds like Jackson is performing about two inches from your face. A warm ... see all copies from $15.70! new only from $15.70!
8	The Road to Robert Johnson (2007) more music like this by Robert Johnson see all copies from $25.43! new only from $25.43!
9	Dedication (2007) more music like this by Original Soundtrack Former roadie for Fugazi turned director Justin Theroux shows off his eclectic musical taste with the Dedication soundtrack as it schizophrenically switches between disjointed thorny songs and flowery orchestral pop tunes, accurately capturing the movie's two protagonists' extremely different personalities. In the film, Billy Crudup plays an ... see all copies from $10.90! new only from $10.90!
10	Blue Country Heart (2002) more music like this by Jorma Kaukonen Acoustic fingerpicker Jorma Kaukonen fiddled around with his country roots a bit in Jefferson Airplane and dipped a little deeper while fronting Hot Tuna, but his 2002 release, Blue Country Heart, is his most summertime-afternoon, front-porch-pickin' album. The album is comprised of traditional country songs from the '30s and '40s popularized by ... see all copies from $5.11! new only from $5.11!
11 view cover	Whoop It Up! Volume 1: 1927-1929 (2006) more music like this by Clarence Williams Jug + Washboard Bands Clarence Williams made his living as a music publisher, pianist, accompanist and organizer of recording ensembles during the 1920s and '30s. His variously sleepy, scruffy or gritty little jazz bands were usually driven by cornet, clarinet, tuba, jug and washboard players. Whoop It Up! is the Document label's first installment in a projected ... see all copies from $14.19! new only from $14.19!
12 view cover	Double Crossing Blues (1998) more music like this by Various Artists This compilation, made up of duets between various all-star blues artists, is an interesting idea that unfortunately doesn't deliver. The blues' most famous partnerships (Buddy Guy & Junior Wells, Shirley & Lee, Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee) are represented, along with a slew of one-off singles pairing Ella Fitzgerald with Louis Jordan, Big Mama ... see all copies from $3.75! new only from $3.75!
13 view cover	One-String Blues (1996) by Jones & Hazleton see all copies from $28.99! new only from $28.99!
14 view cover	Atlanta Blues Legend (1967) more music like this by Buddy Moss Recorded live on June 10, 1966 at a Washington, D.C. concert, this 11-song album (fleshed out to 18 numbers on CD with additional live tracks from elsewhere) was considered miraculous in its own time, and remains so. Moss's fingering was slowed only slightly from the ravages of time, and his voice had aged beautifully. He gets sympathetic ... see all copies from $14.57! new only from $14.57!
15 view cover	Blues Come to Texas (1981) more music like this by Lil Son Jackson Melvin "Lil' Son" Jackson could present stunning, poignant, ironic or gripping stories, and his vocals were ideal for the slow-paced, dramatic storytelling mode. Jackson scored several regional and jukebox hits in the 1950s with his stories of woe, fame, misfortune, tribulation and perseverance. These were consistent themes emerging throughout the ... see all copies from $11.24! new only from $15.33!
16 view cover	Step by Step: Lesley Riddle Meets the Carter Family (1993) more music like this by Lesley Riddle Step by Step: Lesley Riddle Meets the Carter Family: Blues, Country and Sacred Songs contains several field recordings Mike Seeger made of guitarist/vocalist Lesley Riddle between 1965 and 1978. The music on the disc not only showcases Riddle's considerable talent, it also demonstrates that there wasn't much of a gap between blues, folk, country ... see all copies from $15.37! new only from $15.37!

21 view cover	Texas Worried Blues: Complete Recorded Works 1927-1929 (1989) more music like this by Henry Thomas These recordings, dating between 1927 and 1929, are a unique body of work: work songs, minstrel numbers, rags, and what we now define as the blues, all offered in an unpretentious form that would have been every bit as compelling had Henry Thomas cut them this way 40 years later. Songs such as "Arkansas," "Fox and the Hounds" (featuring the reed ... see all copies from $16.21! new only from $16.21!

25 view cover	Red River Blues 1934-1943 (1991) more music like this by Various Artists Something else that came along in 2001 besides the Patriot Act was the Rounder label's Deep River of Song series, in which the original '30s and '40s field recordings carried out by Alan Lomax and John A. Lomax are once again collected, complete with lavish packaging and detailed liner notes. Some of the material that previously appeared on Red ... see all copies from $11.13! new only from $11.13!
