1	Joe Turner's Blues (1938) more music like this by Big Joe Turner see all copies from $14.06! new only from $14.06!
2	Blues: The Essential Album (2004) more music like this by Various Artists The title of this two-CD compilation rather wildly overstates its importance, as does the subtitle "the most important artists, the classic performances, the key songs." Few would consider, for example, Little Esther's "Lost in a Dream" or Big Joe Turner's "S.K. Blues" among the greatest blues cuts of all time, and as significant as Helen Humes ... see all copies from $3.28! new only from $9.33!
3	Atomic Boogie (2002) more music like this by Big Joe Turner Although this two-disc set appears to be a collection of tracks by Big Joe Turner and his longtime piano player Pete Johnson, the two only appear together on a half-dozen cuts here, with most of the space given over to Turner, whose trademark mix of jump blues and jazz-inflected R&B, all guided by his powerful vocals, is vintage stuff. Johnson ... see all copies from $24.74! new only from $24.74!
4	Have No Fear, Big Joe Turner Is Here (1945) more music like this by Big Joe Turner Producer Herb Abramson's first encounters with Big Joe Turner weren't at Atlantic, but for the National logo, where Turner paused from 1945 to 1947 and cut the 26 swinging numbers on this collection. For once, the CD format limits the amount of selections rather than enlarging it; the original two-LP version of this package boasted a few more cuts ... see all copies from $11.00!
5	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!
6	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 $17.56! new only from $17.56!**
7	The Best of Joe Turner: The Boss of the Blues (2005) more music like this by Joe Turner see all copies from $4.51! new only from $4.51!
8	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!
9	S.K. Blues (2003) more music like this by Saunders King see all copies from $5.00! new only from $29.69!
