1	Martin Scorsese Presents the Blues: A Musical Journey (2003) more music like this by Original Soundtrack This five-disc, 116-track box set presents a sweeping history of the blues from its emergence in the early 1900s clear through to its various contemporary guises, and includes samples of country blues in all of its regional variations, as well as cuts from string bands, jug bands, jazz combos, gritty Chicago blues outfits, and a look at how rock ... see all copies from $59.39! new only from $59.39!
2	Count Basie at Newport (1957) more music like this by Count Basie At the 1957 Newport Jazz Festival, the music was consistently inspired and often historic. Count Basie welcomed back tenor great Lester Young and singer Jimmy Rushing for part of a very memorable set highlighted by "Boogie Woogie" and "Evenin'"; Young plays beautifully throughout and Rushing is in prime form. An exciting full-length version of ... see all copies from $2.94! new only from $9.39!
3	The 'Spoon Concerts (1989) more music like this by Jimmy Witherspoon This single CD (which reissues all of the music from an earlier two-LP set) includes the high point of singer Jimmy Witherspoon's career. On October 2, 1959, he appeared at the Monterey Jazz Festival and created such a sensation that it caused his career to go through a renaissance. Heard at the peak of his powers, Witherspoon holds his own with a ... see all copies from $12.00! new only from $17.19!
4	Rough Guide to the Blues (2007) more music like this by Various Artists Full marks to the Rough Guide people -- with this release they've hit it very squarely on the head. If you want one definitive guide to the blues, this is it. Granted, not every major figure is here -- no Skip James or Furry Lewis, for example, or Tampa Red -- but this is as good as you're going to find on a single CD, ranging from the very early ... see all copies from $10.32! new only from $10.32!
5	Kick It! (1998) more music like this by Lannie Garrett & Her Swingin' Big Band see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
6	Cherry Red: The Essential Recordings Of Big Joe Turner (2000) more music like this by Big Joe Turner Big Joe Turner, whose early trademark mix of jump blues and jazz-inflected R&B still sounds alive and vital some seventy years later, was arguably at his best when the vocalist was paired with veteran stride pianist Pete Johnson. This set features the Turner/Johnson team on their first big hit, 1938's "Roll 'Em Pete," and the fully realized ... see all copies from $4.52!
7	Shout, Rattle and Roll (2005) more music like this by Big Joe Turner In his informative and wildly irreverent book Unsung Heroes of Rock 'n' Roll, Nick Tosches devotes a chapter to the life and career of blues shouter Big Joe Turner, whom he repeatedly refers to as "a big fat f k." Part of the charm of Tosches' book is he manages to make this sound like a compliment, and after listening to the exhaustive box set ... see all copies from $18.76! new only from $18.76!**
8	Radio Broadcasts Film Soundtracks Alternate Takes (1939-1947) (1998) more music like this by Pete Johnson This Pete Johnson CD collects a number of rare recordings from radio airchecks, film soundtracks, radio transcription discs, and unissued alternate takes, featuring the pianist in a variety of settings; the fidelity is surprisingly good on most tracks. His inventive "Bus Robinson Blues," and the lively boogie woogie "Dive Bomber" are piano solos; ... see all copies from $12.99!
9	Big, Bad & Blue: The Big Joe Turner Anthology (1994) more music like this by Big Joe Turner This three-record anthology shows how Turner, without really ever changing his style, moved from strict Kansas City swing to pioneering rock & roll and back to basic jazzy blues. It contains 62 songs, everything from treasured hits to slow, sweltering ballads, strident up-tempo wailers, moaning blues, novelty tunes, and fiery pieces with lyrics ... see all copies from $31.99!
10	The Ultimate Melly (2006) more music like this by George Melly see all copies from $14.47! new only from $14.47!
11 view cover	A Rock 'N' Roll Dance Party [Ace] (2006) more music like this by Various Artists In 1957, Modern Records put out a rock & roll sampler LP of sorts on its Crown subsidiary, with the catalog number 5001. Confusingly, in the early '60s, it reissued the LP with a different catalog number, 5001-J, and different tracks, taking off five cuts and adding six others. The 2006 CD reissue on Ace includes all 18 songs that appeared on one ... see all copies from $16.27! new only from $16.27!

13 view cover	Essential Recordings (2001) more music like this by Big Joe Turner By the time Cleopatra assembled Essential Recordings, there was hardly a lack of Big Joe Turner anthologies on the market. In one respect, then, this 2001 compilation is largely unnecessary. Arhoolie, Atlantic, and Savoy Jazz had already devoted sets to specific periods of the singer's career. Essential Recordings is much broader in scope, ... see all copies from $5.85! new only from $5.85!

17	Texas Gold (1975) more music like this by Asleep at the Wheel Not long after its first album, Asleep at the Wheel relocated to Austin, TX, whose freewheeling, wide-ranging music scene fit the band's sensibility perfectly. One record for Epic followed before they signed with Capitol, releasing Texas Gold in 1975 and setting their career into high gear in the process. Texas Gold wound up in the country Top Ten ... see all copies from $18.07!
18 view cover	Complete Goin' to Chicago and Listen to the Blues (2006) more music like this by Jimmy Rushing Nearly as wide as he was tall, Jimmy Rushing had a voice that could boom, and he more than held his own against the horn section during his long association with Count Basie's orchestra, and that Basie period (from the late '30s to the early '50s) has to be considered the peak of Rushing's recorded output. But that shouldn't stop anyone from ... see all copies from $17.71! new only from $17.71!
