1	The Anthology: 1947-1972 (2001) more music like this by Muddy Waters There have been countless collections of Muddy Waters' classic Chess material released over the years, but Chess began to whittle down the domestic catalog toward the late '90s. The triple-disc Chess box remained in print, but they added two single-disc collections that each covered a specific period in Waters' career at Chess. Then, in 2001, MCA ... see all copies from $23.60! new only from $23.60!
2	The Definitive Collection [Geffen] (2006) more music like this by Muddy Waters There are scores of Muddy Waters compilations out there, and while it might be overreaching a bit to call this 24-track single-disc set definitive, it is still a mighty good selection, including as it does all of Waters' major singles from Chess Records and its Aristocrat Records imprint between the years 1948 and 1964 along with a single track ... see all copies from $10.41! new only from $10.41!
3	Move It on Over (1978) more music like this by George Thorogood & the Destroyers In 1978, George Thorogood was just beginning to make some noise on the blues-rock circuit. This was his second album, and what's now almost a cliché then sounded fresh and vital. Thorogood's energy, rousing vocals and driving guitar playing came roaring through on inspired covers of Elmore James' "The Sky Is Crying," Bo Diddley's "Who Do You Love" ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
4	An Evening with the Allman Brothers Band: 2nd Set (1995) more music like this by The Allman Brothers Band The Allman Brothers Band's fifth live release in 25 years, cut during 1994 in Raleigh, NC, and at the Garden State Arts Center in New Jersey, is a high-water mark in their Epic Records catalog. If anything, they're even better here than they were on the earlier Evening With the Allman Brothers Band, the old material getting fresh new approaches -- ... see all copies from $3.30! new only from $8.95!
5	About Them Shoes (2003) more music like this by Hubert Sumlin Hubert Sumlin's About Them Shoes is a refreshingly pure blues recording which comes at a time when others are distorting the genre with various "contemporary" elements. The songs are from the repertoire of Muddy Waters -- seven tunes written by Waters (McKinley Morganfield), four by Willie Dixon, one from Carl C. Wright, and a beauty by Sumlin to ... see all copies from $8.66! new only from $9.66!
6	Electric Mud (1968) more music like this by Muddy Waters In an attempt to make Muddy more sellable to his newly-found White audience, Chess lumbered him with Hendrix-influenced psychedelic blues arrangements for Electric Mud. Commercially, actually, the results weren't bad; Marshall Chess claims it sold between 150,000 and 200,000 copies. Musically, it was as ill-advised as putting Dustin Hoffman into a ... see all copies from $5.93! new only from $5.93!
7	Jericho (1993) more music like this by The Band Few bands called it quits with more fanfare than the Band when they bowed out with the 1976 all-star concert famously preserved in LP and movie form as The Last Waltz. However, while guitarist, songwriter, and de facto leader Robbie Robertson may have been ready to retire the Band, it soon became clear that the other members of the group didn't ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $13.82!
8	The Chess Box (1990) more music like this by Muddy Waters The Chess Box does not contain all the great music Muddy Waters made. His talent and legacy are too large to be captured in a mere three discs, even one that spans from 1947 to 1972. This means, of course, that his legendary plantation recordings with Alan Lomax are not here, nor is his dynamic late-'70s comeback, Hard Again. But, truth be told, ... see all copies from $33.00! new only from $38.72!
9	Weary and Wired (2007) more music like this by Marc Ford The ex-Black Crowes guitarist's first solo album in five years is far more wired than weary, which is certainly a good thing. Rejoining musicians from his pre-Crows years in the band Burning Tree (bassist Mark "Muddy" Dutton and drummer Doni Gray), Ford strips down to a basic trio format, although one loose enough to allow horns, keyboards, and ... see all copies from $14.19! new only from $14.19!
10	Crucial Slide Guitar Blues (2004) more music like this by Various Artists Alligator has a justifiable reputation as one of the premier blues labels, and it draws on its recorded resources for this compilation. There's certainly no doubting the quality of the players and the music here, from Johnny Winter to the late Hound Dog Taylor, whose raw style sears the ears on Elmore James' "The Sun Is Shining." An older Corey ... see all copies from $6.51! new only from $6.51!
11 view cover	Blue Moon in Your Eye (2006) more music like this by The Nighthawks see all copies from $17.01! new only from $17.01!
12 view cover	Ready for Love (2003) more music like this by John Hammond Jr. Although it kicks off with the first (and only) song John Hammond has ever written, Ready for Love is a worthy and unusually varied follow-up to the surprise success of 2001's Wicked Grin. It would have been easy and possibly expected for Hammond to churn out another album of Tom Waits songs to capitalize on the unanticipated momentum created by ... see all copies from $4.29!
13 view cover	Swimming With the Sharks (1988) more music like this by Joe Grushecky & the Houserockers see all copies from $10.86! new only from $10.86!
14 view cover	I Am the Blues (1970) more music like this by Willie Dixon The material is superb, consisting of some of Willie Dixon's best-known songs of the 1960s, and the production is smoothly professional, but none of the performances here are likely to make you forget the hits by Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, and others. Bruce Eder, All Music Guide see all copies from $5.33! new only from $5.33!
15 view cover	Live, Love, Larf & Loaf (1987) more music like this by French Frith Kaiser Thompson Richard Thompson once joked that if his presence on an album with John French, Fred Frith, and Henry Kaiser was expected to help it appeal to a wider audience, it didn't say much for the state of their careers. But while French Frith Kaiser Thompson was hardly a supergroup to rival Blind Faith or the Traveling Wilburys at the turnstiles, on Live, ... see all copies from $8.96! new only from $17.15!
16 view cover	Love Comin' Down (2000) more music like this by Sue Foley Sue Foley just keeps getting better. On her sixth album, the singer/songwriter and guitarist turns in a diverse set of blues (a slow and mournful version of Willie Dixon's "The Same Thing"); Stax-styled, horn-fueled R&B ("To Be Next to You"); New Orleans party rockin' (an obscure Freddie King cover of "You're Barkin' Up the Wrong Tree"); and even ... see all copies from $5.99! new only from $13.17!
17 view cover	The Real Folk Blues (1965) more music like this by Muddy Waters Once Chess discovered a White folk-blues audience ripe and ready to hear the real thing, they released a series of albums under the Real Folk Blues banner. This is one of the best entries in the series, a mixed bag of early Chess sides from 1949-1954, some of it hearkening back to Muddy's first recordings for Aristocrat with only Big Crawford on ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $9.98!
18 view cover	Pain & Paradise (1996) more music like this by The Nighthawks With harmonica player/singer Mark Wenner, bassist Jan Zukowski, and drummer/singer Pete Ragusa now well into their third decade together, the Nighthawks are a veteran blue-collar band that gets the job done, and Pain & Paradise is one of their better studio efforts. Guitar chores are now handled by relative newcomer Pete Kanaras, who replaced ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.75!
19 view cover	Got Blues! (2003) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $4.29! new only from $9.81!
20 view cover	Louisiana Red Sings the Blues (1972) more music like this by Louisiana Red see all copies from $8.58! new only from $8.58!
21 view cover	Blues for a Sunday Morning (2000) more music like this by Various Artists A diverse and eclectic collection of the mellower side of the blues, Blues for a Sunday Morning features everything from Allen Toussaint's New Orleans-influenced "You Don't Know Me" to Mem Shannon' s smooth funk on "Certain Shade of Blue." Possibly taking a cue from the successful 32 Jazz series of mood-themed jazz records, Shanachie has pulled ... see all copies from $14.51! new only from $14.51!
22 view cover	My Blues & My Guitar (1995) more music like this by Bob Margolin Steady Rollin' Bob Margolin really comes into his own with My Blues and My Guitar, his second album for Alligator Records. He still pays homage to his mentor, Muddy Waters, not only through covers but simply through his driving musical style. He blends the familiar ("Rip It Up," "Going Home," "The Same Thing") with unpredictable ("See Me in the ... see all copies from $4.61! new only from $15.34!
23 view cover	Fathers & Sons [Chess] (1982) more music like this by Various Artists Put blues legends Muddy Waters and Otis Spann together in a recording studio with young upstarts such as Paul Butterfield, Mike Bloomfield, Buddy Miles, amongst others, and hope that the magic will flow. On Fathers and Sons it does, and then some. Originally a two-record set now pared down to one CD, Fathers and Sons displays the love that these ... see all copies from $2.95!
24 view cover	The Songs of Willie Dixon (1999) more music like this by Various Artists The Songs of Willie Dixon finds a number of mostly contemporary blues practitioners paying tribute to the legendary composer/bassist. Of course, it isn't difficult to pick quality material out of Dixon's catalog, so the collection will sink or swim with the performances. And, for the most part, they're pretty good, with some interesting, modern ... see all copies from $13.76! new only from $13.76!
25 view cover	Stand or Fall (1999) more music like this by Paul Shortino see all copies from $10.81! new only from $10.81!
