1	Complete Clapton (2007) more music like this by Eric Clapton Disregard the title of this 2007 compilation: there is no way that any double-disc, 36-track set could be called The Complete Clapton, not when Eric Clapton has had a career that's spanned over four decades. This doesn't even attempt to cover as much ground as his landmark four-disc 1988 box set Crossroads, which began with his first band the ... see all copies from $9.88! new only from $21.84!
2	The Complete Recordings [Columbia #1] (1990) more music like this by Robert Johnson A double-disc box set containing everything Robert Johnson ever recorded, The Complete Recordings is essential listening, but it is also slightly problematic. The problems aren't in the music itself, of course, which is stunning and the fidelity of the recordings is the best it ever has been or ever will be. Instead, it's in the track sequencing. ... see all copies from $13.95! new only from $16.45!
3	The Blues Brothers [Original Soundtrack] (1980) more music like this by The Blues Brothers Comic actors John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd received a lot of flak for their Blues Brothers shtick -- mostly for the albums, not 1980's beloved classic film. But they should be given credit for exposing many people -- including this reviewer -- to the music of blues and R&B veterans. The Blues Brothers soundtrack was released on Atlantic Records. On ... see all copies from $5.10! new only from $16.52!
4	The Blues Brothers Complete (2000) more music like this by The Blues Brothers The title of The Blues Brothers Complete pretty much says it all; the double-disc, 35-track collection contains everything Jake and Elwood Blues recorded during the peak of their career. The catch is that the compilation was only released by EastWest/Atlantic's Australian division, therefore, it's hard to find outside of Australia. But, for ... see all copies from $21.93! new only from $21.93!
5	West Side Soul (1967) more music like this by Magic Sam To call West Side Soul one of the great blues albums, one of the key albums (if not the key album) of modern electric blues is all true, but it tends to diminish and academicize Magic Sam's debut album. This is the inevitable side effect of time, when an album that is decades old enters the history books, but this isn't an album that should be ... see all copies from $9.95! new only from $9.95!
6	Sessions for Robert J. [CD & DVD] (2004) more music like this by Eric Clapton It appears that Eric Clapton had more Robert Johnson in his blood than he thought -- or perhaps it was planned this way. This DVD/CD set (and really, it's not the other way around despite the packaging), showcases Clapton mining the Robert Johnson vein ever more deeply in no less than four different settings. The DVD features 19 acoustic and ... see all copies from $8.68! new only from $19.92!
7	Oooh So Good N'Blues/Recycling the Blues (2007) more music like this by Taj Mahal Australia's Raven Records is among the most venerable reissue labels in the world, and this two-fer of Taj Mahal vintage recordings is a case in point. Sony Legacy began a rather aggressive reissue campaign of Mahal's recordings, remastering and reissuing his late-'60s work and early records, including his self-titled debut, The Natch'l Blues, and ... see all copies from $19.18! new only from $19.18!
8	Stone Blue (1978) more music like this by Foghat Taking stock in themselves and their music after many crushing but profitable years on the road, Foghat came up with this record of hard electric blues. Coming from a variety of sources, Stone Blue could be looked upon and retreading familiar ground. If that's the case, Foghat should do it more often, because Stone Blue delivers the goods. Not as ... see all copies from $4.00! new only from $9.20!
9	Recycling the Blues & Other Related Stuff (1972) more music like this by Taj Mahal The title Recycling the Blues & Other Related Stuff certainly sums up the album quite well -- that's exactly what Taj Mahal has been doing for several years by this point. The first side features laidback in-the-studio work with some nice gospel-inflected back-up from the Pointer Sisters. The second (and preferable) side offers a good look at ... see all copies from $6.00!
10	Asylum Choir II (1971) more music like this by Leon Russell/Marc Benno Of all Russell's early work as an artist, this record is perhaps the least essential; in particular, songs like "Tryin' to Stay Live" and "When You Wish Upon a Fag" feel dated. Nevertheless, Asylum Choir II is still a pretty nice record. Especially noteworthy is Russell's own version of "Hello, Little Friend"; Joe Cocker would later record the ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $13.09!
11 view cover	Urban Knights III (2000) more music like this by Urban Knights Most artists' idea of giving back to their communities involves some sort of charitable work or financial contribution. On Urban Knights III, legendary pianist Ramsey Lewis reaches deeper, forgoing the the all-star jam concepts of the first two Urban Knights projects (which featured everyone from the late Grover Washington, Jr. to producer Maurice ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $14.78!
12 view cover	Hellhound on My Trail: Songs of Robert Johnson (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Not the first compilation of bluesmen (and one woman) interpreting the limited but radically influential work of Robert Johnson, and almost certainly not the last, this 2001 entry is one of the more substantial efforts in the lineage. Instead of refashioning these classics in unique arrangements, the compilers have stripped the artists and songs ... see all copies from $3.29! new only from $10.29!
13 view cover	The Definitive Blues Brothers Collection (2007) more music like this by The Blues Brothers see all copies from $11.11! new only from $11.11!
14 view cover	The Definitive Collection (1992) more music like this by The Blues Brothers It isn't exactly difficult to scoff at the Blues Brothers -- beginning your musical career as a sketch on Saturday Night Live is not the best way to develop artistic credibility, and while Elwood Blues wasn't too shabby a harp player, his brother, Joliet Jake, sang only marginally better than that guy who used to impersonate Joe Cocker on late ... see all copies from $7.01! new only from $7.01!
15 view cover	Rough Guide to Chicago Blues (2003) more music like this by Various Artists Ah, the Chicago blues. While it very much has its own identity, developed from the '30s on, it's the direct descendent of the Delta blues of Mississippi, gussied up in city clothes and given a bit of a polish -- but never too much of one. The Rough Guide to Chicago Blues compilation proves to be one of the best at uncovering the city and its style ... see all copies from $9.53! new only from $9.53!
16 view cover	Live at the Electric Ballroom, 1974 (1996) more music like this by Freddie King This Atlanta concert wasn't issued in recorded form for two decades. Archival releases of this sort tend to be for collectors only, but this is a cut above the standard. The sound is very good, the band is pretty tight, and Freddie King solos with fire and sings with conviction, sticking mostly to covers of warhorses like "Dust My Broom," "Key to ... see all copies from $6.92! new only from $11.12!
17 view cover	Hey Ba-Ba-Re-Bop (1978) more music like this by Johnny Shines Delta blues vocalist, guitarist and composer Johnny Shines hadn't yet encountered the physical difficulties that made his final years so troubling when he recorded the 13 selections on this CD. He could still sing and moan with intensity and passion, hold a crowd hypnotized with his remembrances and asides, and play with a mix of fury and charm. ... see all copies from $7.65! new only from $14.74!
18 view cover	In Progress & in Motion: 1965-1998 (1998) more music like this by Taj Mahal For being a nearly omnipresent figure, Taj Mahal has never quite gotten the respect he's deserved. At the beginning of his career, he earned a significant amount of attention, but as the years passed, he had woven himself into the fabric of blues culture so well that his presence was taken for granted. That is why the 1998 release of In Progress & ... see all copies from $18.56! new only from $35.59!
19 view cover	The Definitive Rock Collection (2006) more music like this by Foghat When one listens to the absolutely savage tracks that appeared on Foghat's classic debut album -- produced at Rockfield Studios by Dave Edmunds -- one can hear the sound of the entire history of rock music up until that point in time. True, they are all covers -- Willie Dixon's "I Just Want to Make Love to You," Chuck Berry's "Maybellene," and ... see all copies from $17.56! new only from $17.56!
20 view cover	Sweet Home Chicago (1975) more music like this by Lonnie Brooks The French Black & Blue label was savvy enough to spirit Brooks into a studio when he was touring the continent in 1975 as part of Chicago Blues Festival '75. As befits the jam-session ambience of the date (pianist Willie Mabon, harpist Mack Simmons, and two-thirds of the Aces are on hand), hoary standards predominate: "Crosscut Saw," "Things I ... see all copies from $10.76! new only from $10.76!
21 view cover	Live at the BBC (1995) more music like this by Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac If you've ever wondered what the original Fleetwood Mac really sounded like, these BBC Recordings give a very good idea. They're one part blues band, one part oldies act, one part serious, and one part tongue very much in cheek. Any band that could play Elmore James and B.B. King blues with absolute precision and passion one minute and become a ... see all copies from $9.91! new only from $19.52!
22 view cover	Blues Blues Blues (1998) more music like this by Jimmy Rogers All-Stars Jimmy Rogers was very much a musician's musician -- the kind of guitarist that earned accolades from contemporaries and successors alike -- yet one who never wins a wide, mainstream audience. Blues Blues Blues was designed as the album that would find Rogers a larger audience, and as such, it has all the bells and whistles of a big-deal blues ... see all copies from $16.85! new only from $16.85!
23 view cover	How Late'll Ya Play 'Til?, Vol. 1: Live (1976) more music like this by David Bromberg David Bromberg has been such an effective sideman for so long, it could be possible to not notice what a wonderful entertainer the man is when he is at center stage. How Late'll Ya Play 'Til?, Vol. 1 catches Bromberg and a crack band having a fine time on mostly humorous tunes. Of course, Bromberg does play guitar throughout the album, but the ... see all copies from $13.78! new only from $13.78!
24 view cover	The Best of Mountain Stage Live ,Vol. 4 (1992) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $5.50! new only from $5.50!
25 view cover	More Songs of Route 66: Roadside Attractions (2001) more music like this by Various Artists More Songs of Route 66: Roadside Attractions, a follow-up to the 1995 various artists album The Songs of Route 66, Music From the All-American Highway, is, like its predecessor, a project put together by Asleep at the Wheel drummer David Sanger for his Lazy S.O.B. Records label. It can be thought of as an Asleep at the Wheel side project, ... see all copies from $11.36! new only from $14.99!
