1	King of the Blues [Box] (1992) more music like this by B.B. King No way can a mere four discs cover every facet of the blues king's amazing recording career, but MCA makes a valiant stab at it. The first two discs, as expected, are immaculate: opening with his Bullet Records debut ("Miss Martha King"), the box continues with a handful of pivotal RPM/Kent masters before digging into his 1960s ABC-Paramount ... see all copies from $14.00! new only from $52.64!
2	What It Is! Funky Soul and Rare Grooves (2006) more music like this by Various Artists A righteous undertaking of great magnitude, What It Is! Funky Soul and Rare Grooves trawls through a decade-long stretch of the Warner-distributed archive -- taking in the catalogs of Warner Bros., Atlantic, Reprise, Atco, and smaller nodes like Cotillion, Curtom, Alston, and Jonie -- and pulls up 80 soul/funk truffles, almost all of which were ... see all copies from $56.65! new only from $56.65!
3	Deuces Wild (1997) more music like this by B.B. King This is B.B.'s celebrity duet album, and a straightahead blues album this is not. But longtime fans who are aware of King's genre-stretching capabilities will find much to savor here. Kicking off with B.B. playing some beautiful fills and solo work behind Van Morrison on "If You Love Me," the superstars start lining up to jam with the King, with ... see all copies from $3.98! new only from $9.75!
4	Live at the Sahara Tahoe (1973) more music like this by Isaac Hayes see all copies from $5.45! new only from $9.36!
5	Burnin' Down the House: Live at the House of Blues (2002) more music like this by Etta James Playing Burnin' Down the House right after you have listened to some of Etta James' early recordings is quite revealing. The veteran soul/blues singer was only 16 when, in 1954, she made her first recordings for Modern records; she was 63 when this excellent live album was recorded at the House of Blues in West Hollywood, CA, in December 2001 -- ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.39!
6	The Best of Hot Tuna (1998) more music like this by Hot Tuna This two-disc compilation of RCA recordings, made between 1969 and 1977, traces Hot Tuna's evolution from an acoustic folk-blues group to an electric blues-rock band, and then to a near-heavy-metal ensemble, and from a repertoire dominated by covers of songs by blues guitarists like the Reverend Gary Davis to one consisting largely of original ... see all copies from $9.92! new only from $20.47!
7	I Heard It on NPR: Jazz for Blue Nights/At Home in the World/Shake These Blues (2003) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $24.36! new only from $27.11!
8	The Otis Redding Story (1989) more music like this by Otis Redding A few previously unissued tracks, plus all the hits, from "These Arms of Mine" (1962) through "Dock of the Bay" (1967). A magnificent tribute to a magnificent career. It's a little expensive but it'll completely rock your soul! Christine Ohlman, All Music Guide see all copies from $14.99!
9	Live at San Quentin (1991) more music like this by B.B. King see all copies from $2.89! new only from $6.59!
10	P.T. Power Trio, Vol. 2 (2006) more music like this by Pat Travers see all copies from $14.72! new only from $14.72!
11 view cover	How Blue Can You Get? Classic Live Performances 1964 to 1994 (1996) more music like this by B.B. King The double-disc collection How Blue Can You Get: Classic Live 1964-94 covers 30 years of B.B. King's remarkably popular and groundbreaking career, picking out choice live performances from a variety of sources. King has always been acknowledged as one of the most electrifing blues guitarists, as well as one of the best all-around entertainers that ... see all copies from $7.95! new only from $43.99!
12 view cover	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!
13 view cover	White Hot Blues (1997) more music like this by Johnny Winter Slowly over the years, perhaps through sheer survival if nothing else, Johnny Winter finally forged a reputation as a real bluesman rather than a flashy guitar player with a built-in genetic gimmick to sell himself with. That his blues has always been rock & roll and his rock & roll has always been blues is no better highlighted than on this 16 ... see all copies from $5.57! new only from $5.57!
14 view cover	His Definitive Greatest Hits (1999) more music like this by B.B. King see all copies from $20.74! new only from $20.74!
15 view cover	I Heard It on NPR: Shake These Blues (2003) more music like this by Various Artists A spread-all-over-the-place collection of old, modern, and contemporary blues artists, this NPR anthology is just idiosyncratic enough to be unique and interesting, particularly Alvin Youngblood Hart's exuberant take on Bukka White's "How Long Before I Change My Clothes," and Otis Taylor's spooky and kinetic "My Soul's in Louisiana." Steve ... see all copies from $6.74! new only from $8.84!
16 view cover	Texas Style (1971) more music like this by Big Joe Turner This somewhat obscure Black & Blue session (reissued by Evidence on CD) features the great blues singer Big Joe Turner a year before he hooked up with the Pablo label. Turner is backed by a particularly colorful and supportive trio comprised of pianist Milt Buckner (the master of block chords), bassist Slam Stewart (who takes a few of his ... see all copies from $11.23! new only from $11.23!
17 view cover	Blue on Blues (2002) more music like this by B.B. King & Pee Wee Crayton see all copies from $5.85! new only from $5.85!
18 view cover	Steady Rolling Blues (1961) more music like this by Memphis Slim Like Slim's other Bluesville work, this is a characteristic and very consistent effort, though not what you would single out as the cream of his recorded work. He varies the program between originals and covers of standards like "Mean Mistreatin' Mama," "Rock Me Baby," and "Goin' Down Slow," providing a touch of unpredictability by switching from ... see all copies from $3.41! new only from $10.86!
19 view cover	Blues Kingpins (2003) more music like this by B.B. King There has been a plethora of B.B. King compilations since the beginning of the new millennium, most of them not worth the plastic they are made of, but there have been some fine ones, too, such as the Ace four-CD box called The Vintage Years or their complete Modern Recordings set. In the States, the pickings are somewhat slimmer, but this little ... see all copies from $10.73! new only from $10.73!
20 view cover	The Last of the Jelly Roll Kings (2007) more music like this by Frank Frost/Sam Carr Guitarist and harmonica player Frank Frost was essentially an Arkansas version of Jimmy Reed when he hooked up with drummer Sam Carr in the early '50s. Carr, the son of bluesman Robert Nighthawk, and Frost worked in Nighthawk's band for several years before striking out as a duo in the early '60s, and when they added guitar player and bassist Jack ... see all copies from $9.77! new only from $9.77!
21 view cover	Big Blues Box (2002) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $16.06! new only from $16.06!
22 view cover	On the Road Again (1976) more music like this by Luther "Georgia Boy Snake" Johnson On the Road Again, an early-'70s outing, shows Johnson in fine form, assisted by a tough backing band. Cut in France. Bill Dahl, All Music Guide see all copies from $11.23! new only from $11.23!
23 view cover	The Americana Series: The Best of the Blues [Sanctuary] (2004) more music like this by Various Artists A sort of all-over-the-map collection of electric blues, ranging from the ragged swamp stomp of Slim Harpo ("I'm a King Bee") and the furious slide work of Elmore James ("Dust My Broom") to newer fare by Robert Cray ("Back Door Slam"), Taj Mahal ("Blues Ain't Nothin'"), and Britain's John Mayall (who covers Jimmy Reed's "Ain't That Lovin' You Baby ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.51!
24 view cover	Live at Sunbury (2005) more music like this by Billy Thorpe & the Aztecs see all copies from $29.98! new only from $29.98!
25 view cover	Sweet Southern Soul (1969) more music like this by Lou Johnson Lou Johnson's Sweet Southern Soul is a solid album of journeyman soul. Recorded in 1969 for Atlantic offshoot Cotillion, the mix of ingredients is classic: production by Jerry Wexler and Tom Dowd, musical backing by the Muscle Shoals crew, songs by Don Covay, Eddie Hinton, and Curtis Mayfield. Indeed, the whole thing reads like a textbook to ... see all copies from $11.13! new only from $11.13!
