Can't Quit the Blues (2006) more music like this

by Buddy Guy

Legend status came late to Buddy Guy, so it shouldn't be surprising that this is the first box set devoted to the blues giant's work. Yet it is still a bit of a shock, because Guy, it seems, has always been a part of the modern blues scene, ubiquitous even in the late '60s at the era's high-profile rock and folk festivals, playing the hippie ...

by Various Artists

Although some may argue whether they're the "greatest" blues artists or not, there's little arguing that all ten featured artists on Greatest Blues Legends are legendary to some extent or another. Problem is, not all of the songs here illustrate why these greats are legendary -- thankfully, the Rolling Stones named themselves after a Muddy Waters ...

Before the Fame (2003) more music like this

by Rod Stewart

A series of live demos with Long John Baldry from 1964 make up most of this collection, with Rod Stewart delivering serviceable, but hardly startling, vocals to blues standards by Jimmy Reed, Willie Dixon and others. Dedicated Stewart fans may want this collection for the sake of completeness. Steve Leggett , All Music Guide

It would be difficult to truly catch the best blues tracks on a single 45-minute disc, even if it is the second volume, but this somewhat random set does feature truly classic cuts, including Bo Diddley doing a ragged version of "I'm a Man," J.B. Lenoir's subtle (for the blues, anyway) "Mama Talk to Your Daughter," Muddy Waters' definitive Chess ...
