1	The Young Big Bill Broonzy (1928-1935) (1928) more music like this by Big Bill Broonzy Big Bill Broonzy was one of the few country blues musicians of the '20s and '30s to find success when the music evolved into an electric, urbanized form. From his initial sides with Paramount in 1928, he followed the music's development closely. Switching to electric guitar and adding drums to his music in the late 1930s, he helped pave the way ... see all copies from $13.80! new only from $13.80!

3	All the Classic Sides 1928-1937 (2004) more music like this by Big Bill Broonzy Of all the pre-war Delta bluesman, no one achieved the popular status of Big Bill Broonzy. Indeed, as Neil Slaven states in his liner notes to Volume One of this collection, Broonzy had been issuing recordings for over 20 years before his last name was attached to the labels; only "Big Bill" appeared under the track listing. This five-CD ... see all copies from $28.74! new only from $28.74!
4	Two Track Mind (1993) more music like this by Steve James A rarity in today's field of acoustic blues pickers; a guitarist with encyclopedic knowledge who never sounds academic. James embraces a wide scope of fingerpicking styles -- Piedmont school ragtime, hokum ("Huggin' and Chalkin'"), country (Sam McGee is the source of two tunes here), and slide (his showstopping take on Sylvester Weaver's "Guitar ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
5	Can't Be Satisfied (2004) more music like this by Big Bill Broonzy Anyone who knows Big Bill Broonzy for his later sides, cut variously for Verve and Pye Records, among other labels, may be startled by this collection -- Broonzy went through myriad styles, mostly very urban and urbane, as his career advanced from the 1920s to the middle of the '50s, but thanks to the taste of the blues revival enthusiasts of the ... see all copies from $10.05! new only from $10.05!
6	Big Bill Blues: His 23 Greatest Hit Songs 1927-1942 (2004) more music like this by Big Bill Broonzy Exactly what it says -- a veritable greatest-hits collection that showcases just why Big Bill Broonzy is one of the most important blues figures ever. To be fair, the very early material either hasn't cleaned up well, or not a lot of money has been invested in technical work, and some of the sides are barely listenable because of scratches. But, ... see all copies from $9.71! new only from $9.71!

8	Where the Blues Began (2000) more music like this by Big Bill Broonzy Where the Blues Began is an excellent compilation of Big Bill Broonzy's greatest sides from the early to middle years. This Recall set assembles 40 tracks ranging from the late '20s to the late '40s. While sound quality is a little dodgy, it is at least as good as some of the Robert Johnson and Son House sides to be issued officially. In addition ... see all copies from $16.26! new only from $16.26!

10	King of the Blues, Vol. 15: The Father of Chicago Blues (2003) more music like this by Big Bill Broonzy Big Bill Broonzy was viewed as a beloved country blues player when he died in 1958, a master of raw and authentic-sounding folk-blues. But this public image, although Broonzy worked hard to maintain it in his later years, does him a bit of a disservice. He was much more than a rustic relic, however well he played the part. Broonzy was an excellent ... see all copies from $29.69! new only from $29.69!
