1	Live in Cook County Jail (1971) more music like this by B.B. King B.B. King has cut a lot of albums since the success of Live at the Regal. And, like the live shows they document, none of them are any less than solid and professional, hallmarks of King's work aesthetic. But every so often B.B. truly catches fire; his playing and singing comes up an extra notch or two, and the result is a live album with some ... see all copies from $8.66! new only from $8.66!
2	Live at San Quentin (1991) more music like this by B.B. King see all copies from $3.59! new only from $6.34!
3	Live at the Apollo (1990) more music like this by B.B. King There are both good and bad points to this CD. Of the latter, the Phillip Morris "Super Band" is confined to background work with -- other than a few spots for Plas Johnson's tenor -- no soloists being heard from. As an ensemble, the all-star orchestra performs well, but is essentially anonymous. Also, despite the backing, B.B. King does not ... see all copies from $4.95! new only from $9.77!
4	King of the Blues [Box] (1992) more music like this by B.B. King No way can a mere four discs cover every facet of the blues king's amazing recording career, but MCA makes a valiant stab at it. The first two discs, as expected, are immaculate: opening with his Bullet Records debut ("Miss Martha King"), the box continues with a handful of pivotal RPM/Kent masters before digging into his 1960s ABC-Paramount ... see all copies from $13.50! new only from $52.64!
5	The Best of B.B. King [MCA] (1973) more music like this by B.B. King True, this 1973 vintage best-of album covers a ridiculously slim wedge of time in the blues king's long career. Yet this period was quite significant, for it marks the crest of B.B. King's initial entry into the pop music mass market -- and this album surfs succinctly, if not comprehensively, over the high points of his turn-of-the-decade winning ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $7.95!
6	Why I Sing the Blues [MCA] (1992) more music like this by B.B. King MCA Special Products' Why I Sing the Blues collects ten highlights from B.B. King's late-'60s and early-'70s recordings for ABC, which were later acquired by MCA. Considering that this is a budget-priced compilation, and therefore limited in its scope, this isn't a bad sampler at all, containing the hit version of "The Thrill Is Gone," plus good ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $5.49!
7	Blues (2003) more music like this by Chuck Berry Chuck Berry grew up on the blues, taking Muddy Waters as a particular hero, so when he signed with Chess Records in the mid-'50s, the label undoubtedly figured they were getting a blues artist. Which Berry was, but his bright, skittering guitar style and penchant for writing songs with lyrics that set aside blues clichés for something closer to ... see all copies from $8.66! new only from $8.66!
8	Blues Is Alright, Vol. 2 (1991) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $15.29! new only from $15.29!
9	His Best: The Electric B.B. King (1968) more music like this by B.B. King Although this collection has "Don't Answer the Door," "Paying the Cost to Be the Boss" and a nice live re-cut of "Sweet Sixteen" to highly recommend it, this 1968 issue is hardly King's best, and the "electric" part of the title makes it sound like there's an acoustic B.B. King album lurking around somewhere that you and I somehow missed in the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.55!
10	Discovering the Blues (1972) more music like this by Robben Ford Discovering the Blues is culled from a series of concerts Robben Ford gave in the early '70s at Huntington Beach's Golden Bear and Ash Grove in Hollywood. At the time, Ford was just beginning his career, and his style wasn't nearly as accomplished as it would later be. Instead, he simply burns, tearing through blues classics with a passion and ... see all copies from $6.90! new only from $10.76!
11 view cover	Live in Japan (1999) more music like this by B.B. King It took 28 years, but in 1999 Live in Japan finally became available in the U.S. Recorded at Sankei Hall in Tokyo on March 4 and 7, 1971, Live in Japan was originally released as a two-LP set in Japan. At the time, King's superb Live in Cook County Jail was a respectable seller for ABC, and the label also planned to release In London -- so ABC ... see all copies from $5.99! new only from $16.46!
12 view cover	Blues Kingpins (2003) more music like this by B.B. King There has been a plethora of B.B. King compilations since the beginning of the new millennium, most of them not worth the plastic they are made of, but there have been some fine ones, too, such as the Ace four-CD box called The Vintage Years or their complete Modern Recordings set. In the States, the pickings are somewhat slimmer, but this little ... see all copies from $11.03! new only from $11.03!
13 view cover	Best of the Blues [Box] (2000) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $7.34! new only from $7.34!
14 view cover	Classic Masters (2002) more music like this by B.B. King B.B. King's edition of Classic Masters concentrates on his RPM recordings from the first half of the '50s, adding two cuts from his stint at Kent in the early '60s. At 12 tracks, this isn't particularly extensive, nor is the track selection very imaginative, but it nevertheless is very strong all the same, containing such staples as "Three O'Clock ... see all copies from $5.40! new only from $5.40!
15 view cover	Anthology (2000) more music like this by B.B. King MCA's double-disc set Anthology is a bit of a blessing, actually, a welcome entry to B.B. King's extensive catalog, since the last half of his career has not been anthologized often (it was most notably on the box set The King of Blues). Once King's career entered the '70s, he never lost his way, but his recordings became uneven. The situation ... see all copies from $7.44! new only from $21.99!
16 view cover	Midnight Blues [Madacy] (2000) more music like this by Various Artists Midnight Blues delivers just what the title promises: a collection of some of the blues' most memorable songs and artists, including Lightnin' Hopkins' "Lonesome Dog Blues," Leadbelly's "Goodnight Irene," Memphis Slim's "Cold Blooded Woman," and B.B. King's "Catfish Blues." Big Joe Williams' "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out," Charles ... see all copies from $3.99! new only from $3.99!
17 view cover	Dealing with the Devil (2004) more music like this by James Cotton Blues Band see all copies from $9.29! new only from $9.29!
18 view cover	Big Blues Box (2002) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $15.98! new only from $15.98!
19 view cover	The Vintage Years (2002) more music like this by B.B. King This impressive, impeccably packaged four-CD box set focuses solely on B.B. King's 1950s and 1960s recordings for the Modern family of labels. That was a period that basically encompassed the vast majority of his work prior to 1962, though he did a few non-Modern sides before signing with ABC Paramount in early 1962 and did a few other sides for ... see all copies from $62.79! new only from $62.79!
20 view cover	Chronicles: Live at the Regal/Blues Is King/Live in Cook County Jail (2005) more music like this by B.B. King In 2005 MCA/Universal repackaged B.B. King's greatest live albums -- Live at the Regal, Blues Is King and Live in Cook County Jail -- as a three-CD box set. It's not a bad way to acquire the albums if you don't already own them, but there are no bonus tracks or new packaging or remastering, which means it's of marginal interest to hardcore ... see all copies from $27.26! new only from $27.26!
21 view cover	Classics (1996) more music like this by B.B. King Intercontinental's The Best of B.B. King is a budget-priced collection of re-recordings of such hits as "How Blue You Can Get," "Paying the Cost to Be the Boss," "Sweet Sixteen," "Evil Child," "Everyday I Have the Blues," "It's My Own Fault Baby" and "The Thrill Is Gone." Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $2.64! new only from $4.47!
22 view cover	Got My Mojo Working [Universal] (1989) more music like this by B.B. King MCA Special Products' Got My Mojo Working is a ten-track sampler of B.B. King's earliest recordings. Although this is by no means definitive, it is effective, since it contains such songs as "Sweet Sixteen," "Paying the Cost to Be the Boss" and "Confessing the Blues." As a result, it's one of the better budget-line B.B. King compilations on the ... see all copies from $2.99!
23 view cover	Black Jack 21 Essential Classics (2003) more music like this by B.B. King see all copies from $10.83! new only from $10.83!
24 view cover	The Stardust Collection (2002) more music like this by Various Artists The Stardust Collection is a double-disc set (priced as a single) that offers over 30 highlights from the Stardust vaults. The first disc is subtitled "Vocal and Jazz Ecstasy," while the second is subtitled "Great Blues Duets and Legends." The first disc includes the Count Basie Orchestra's "Stormy Monday Blues," Nat King Cole's "My Lips Remember ... see all copies from $14.47! new only from $14.47!
