1	That's Alright Mama [Delta] (2002) more music like this by Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup see all copies from $2.35! new only from $2.35!
2	Very Best Songs (2003) more music like this by Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup There's an irony in the fact that while Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup was hardly a major figure as a bluesman (at best, he qualifies for the second tier), he was indirectly one of the fathers of rock & roll. Rather than his own work, his lingering reputation rests on the fact that Elvis Presley took no less than three of his songs and sculpted them into ... see all copies from $11.24! new only from $11.24!
3	Beefsteak Blues (1998) more music like this by James Son Thomas Down-and-dirty blues don't get any downer or dirtier than James "Son" Thomas. A former sharecropper and grave digger (as well as an accomplished sculptor) who was shot by an ex-wife, Thomas, to put it mildly, lived the blues life he sang about. Eventually his hard road took him all the way to the White House, where he sang the blues for the ... see all copies from $10.93! new only from $10.93!
4	Living Country Blues: An Anthology (1999) more music like this by Various Artists A three-disc set of recordings produced by music researcher Axel Kuestner and recording engineer Siegfried A. Christmann in 1980. This is one of the last of an exhaustive batch of field recordings made in the 20th century by Christmann. The music is pulled from 14 vinyl LPs issued originally on the L+R label in Germany, and features artists who ... see all copies from $31.81! new only from $31.81!
5	Rock Me Mama (2002) more music like this by Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup see all copies from $3.75! new only from $3.75!
6	All Them Blues: It Serves Me Right to Suffer (2001) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $2.97! new only from $2.97!
7	Men of Blues (1998) more music like this by Various Artists This curious three-disc box set mixes in old blues 78s with latter rediscovery recordings to form a rather random, but pleasantly cohesive (if somewhat cursory) introduction to early blues. The wide variety of styles here is impressive, though, ranging from the guttural roars of Charley Patton and Son House, through the highly personalized blues ... see all copies from $14.04! new only from $14.04!
8	That's All Right Mama [Relic] (1961) more music like this by Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup After a long studio hiatus, Crudup reentered the studio in 1961 at the behest of producer Bobby Robinson of Fire/Fury Records. The results of their brief liaison show that Crudup hadn't altered his approach one whit during the layoff -- these remakes of his RCA classics sound amazingly similar to the originals. There are a few unfamiliar titles ... see all copies from $28.85! new only from $28.85!
9	1942-45: The R&B Hits (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Yet another excellent collection from British blues and R&B label Indigo, 1942-45: The R&B Hits chronicles the heady period when small and big band swing morphed into jump blues in major cities across the U.S. Featuring 44 cuts spread over two discs, the mix takes in most of the major players, including Louis Jordan, Lucky Millinder, Wynonie ... see all copies from $33.07! new only from $33.07!
10	The Father of Rock & Roll (1972) more music like this by Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup Just because Elvis Presley was a big fan of your work doesn't make you the father of rock & roll, as this compilation of early recordings by rural blues artist Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup unwittingly proves. It's true that Presley often name-checked Crudup in early interviews as a personal favorite, and he recorded no fewer than three of Crudup's ... see all copies from $18.00!
11	The Blues of Otis Spann/Cracked Spanner Head (2005) more music like this by Otis Spann On the one hand, it makes sense that The Blues of Otis Spann and Cracked Spanner Head should be packaged together in a double-disc set, and on the other, it makes no sense at all, since they are essentially the exact same album. Blues was recorded in England with Otis Spann on piano and vocals, Little Willie Smith on drums, Ransom Knowling on bass ... see all copies from $17.94! new only from $17.94!
12 view cover	Classic Blues, Vol. 4 (2000) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $2.90! new only from $2.90!
13 view cover	R&B Jukebox Hits 1945 (2008) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $24.44! new only from $24.44!
