1	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 $7.50! new only from $14.82!
2	Me and Mr. Johnson (2004) more music like this by Eric Clapton Ten years after his first all-blues album, From the Cradle, Eric Clapton released Me and Mr. Johnson, an album-length tribute to his hero, the legendary bluesman Robert Johnson. Not that this is the first time Clapton has paid tribute to Johnson. Throughout his career, Clapton has not only drawn on Johnson for inspiration, but he has covered his ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $10.00!
3	King of the Delta Blues Singers (1996) by Robert Johnson see all copies from $8.57! new only from $8.57!
4	King of the Delta Blues Singers [Bonus Track] (1966) more music like this by Robert Johnson Reading about the power inherent in Robert Johnson's music is one thing, but actually experiencing it is another matter entirely. The official 1998 edition of the original 1961 album was certainly worth the wait, remastered off the best quality original 78s available, of far superior quality to any of the source materials used on even the 1991 ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $11.06!
5	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 $19.92! new only from $19.92!
6	Last Fair Deal (2003) more music like this by Rory Block While Rory Block had been a remarkably consistent artist over the course of 30 years, if all it took was for her to leave Rounder Records to make a record like Last Fair Deal, one has to wonder why she didn't do it ages ago. Block is one of the most restless and in-the-field artists in the history of contemporary blues. She has continually dug ... see all copies from $8.93! new only from $16.21!
7	The Slide Guitar: Bottles, Knives, & Steel, Vol. 1 (1991) more music like this by Various Artists This CD is a hodgepodge sampling of blues records featuring mostly pre-war slide guitarists ranging from the simplicity of Barbecue Bob (who was much better-known as a pianist) and Sylvester Weaver to the sophistication of Blind Willie McTell (backing Ruth Willis on "Experience Blues") and Tampa Red. Among the highlights are Blind Willie Johnson's ... see all copies from $4.45! new only from $5.47!
8	Hindu Love Gods (1990) more music like this by Hindu Love Gods see all copies from $27.49!
9	The Beauty of the Blues (1991) more music like this by Various Artists This is a beautiful 18-track collection from a sampling of Columbia/Legacy's Roots 'N' Blues series. The recordings, from 1929-1947, include a wide variety of traditional blues and blues-related styles. Excellent sound, with music from Robert Johnson, Big Bill Broonzy, and others. Niles J. Frantz, All Music Guide see all copies from $2.95!
10	Me & the Devil (2001) more music like this by Peter Green & Robert Johnson While it's no secret that guitar king Peter Green is obsessed with Robert Johnson, having done two previous recordings of his music, this box is in essence something else. There are three CDs included here, one of which is Hot Foot Powder, the first album by the Peter Green Splinter Group, which included guest performances from the likes of Otis ... see all copies from $18.34! new only from $20.63!
11	The Best of John Hammond (1989) more music like this by John Hammond Vanguard's The Best of John Hammond is an excellent collection that features 22 highlights from Hammond's early albums. Balancing acoustic and electric material, the set includes "My Babe," "Milk Cow Calf's Blues," "Big Boss Man," "See That My Grave Is Kept Clean," "Stones in My Passway," "Key to the Highway" and "Who Do You Love," among others. ... see all copies from $14.42! new only from $14.42!

13 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 $3.75! new only from $10.29!
14 view cover	Country Blues (1964) more music like this by John Hammond Although Hammond had already recorded electric material, he went back to a solo acoustic format for his fourth album, accompanying himself on guitar and harmonica on faithful interpretations of standards by Robert Johnson, Blind Willie McTell, John Lee Hooker, Sleepy John Estes, Jimmy Reed, Willie Dixon, and Bo Diddley. If it sounds a bit ... see all copies from $10.19! new only from $10.19!
15 view cover	Mississippi Blues, Vol. 4 (2007) more music like this by Robert Johnson A sort of odds and ends collection that was originally issued on LP in 1987, Mississippi Blues, Vol. 4 gathers several alternate takes from Robert Johnson recorded between November 1936 and June 1937, including versions of "Cross Road Blues" and "Love in Vain," eight rare sides recorded by Robert Lockwood, Jr. between 1941 and 1955, and the ... see all copies from $14.47! new only from $14.47!
16 view cover	Gold Collection (1998) more music like this by Robert Johnson see all copies from $11.03! new only from $11.03!
17 view cover	Sideways in Paradise (1993) more music like this by Jimmy Thackery/John Mooney A collection of acoustic delights recorded by Jimmy Thackery and John Mooney in 1985. Vintage blues and ragtime played by a pool in Jamaica. Guitars, mandocello, mandolins and guttural vocals are backed by native tree frogs (which sound a lot like crickets). Roch Parisien, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
18 view cover	At the Crossroads: The Blues of Robert Johnson (2003) more music like this by John Hammond, Jr. If Robert Johnson could look down from heaven or up from hell, he'd likely find it very interesting that John Hammond, Jr. had covered his songs. Here is a white guy, after all, who sounds like a black blues singer and chooses -- of his own free will -- to frequently return to the repertoire of an obscure black guitarist/singer from the 1930s. At ... see all copies from $11.99! new only from $14.22!
19 view cover	Martin Scorsese Presents the Blues: Feel Like Going Home (2003) more music like this by Original Soundtrack Drawn from the soundtrack to Martin Scorsese's seven-part television documentary on the blues, Feel Like Going Home documents the roots behind the roots, traveling from the American South to West Africa and back again, resulting in a remarkable collection that spotlights the past, present, and future of this historically important musical genre. ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $11.06!
20 view cover	Hot Foot Powder [Bonus Track] (2004) more music like this by Peter Green/Nigel Watson Splinter Group Hot Foot Powder is Peter Green's second album made up entirely of covers of the music by the legendary Delta bluesman Robert Johnson. In fact, with this album and its predecessor, The Robert Johnson Songbook, Green has recorded every song that Robert Johnson is known to have composed and recorded. Where Johnson often played and sang like a man ... see all copies from $11.03! new only from $11.03!
21	Jukebox (2006) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $14.78! new only from $14.78!
22 view cover	Up Jumped the Devil (2005) more music like this by Robert Johnson see all copies from $8.51! new only from $8.51!
23 view cover	Early Blues Roots of Led Zeppelin (2007) more music like this by Various Artists This was a great idea. Certainly Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page made no secret of the fact that he had been deeply influenced by blues and that Led Zep was going to be a modern day outlet for the form of American music that inspired him to become a guitarist in the first place. And early Zep certainly borrowed deeply from both blues and folk traditions ... see all copies from $10.58! new only from $10.58!

25 view cover	Live from Uncle Sam's Backyard (1997) more music like this by Paul Geremia This is one of the most pleasing and authentic live recordings, from one of the best country Delta-style blues interpreters playing today. As well as following the tradition of original players such as Willie McTell and Skip James, Geremia lets the songs stretch and grow to fit the changing times. He also adds new and relevant material to the pool ... see all copies from $10.99! new only from $19.19!
