1	Blue Yule: Christmas Blues and R&B Classics (1991) more music like this by Various Artists A stellar 18-song compilation with most tracks not duplicated on other in-print collections. Treasures abound here: rare tracks from John Lee Hooker and Lightnin' Hopkins, Hop Wilson's original "Merry Christmas, Darling" (covered by The Fabulous Thunderbirds on An Austin Rhythm & Blues Christmas), Louis Jordan's last recording ("Santa Claus, Santa ... see all copies from £8.20! new only from £10.45!
2	Rockin' the Juke Joint Down (1979) more music like this by The Jelly Roll Kings Michael Frank inaugurated his Earwig imprint with this 1979 album reteaming Frost, Johnson, and Carr in all their glory. Frank was mesmerized by the trio's almost telepathic musical interplay, a trait captured vividly by the album itself. This trio's repertoire was varied -- the no-holds-barred "Slop Jar Blues" is offset by the bubbly instrumental ... see all copies from £10.65! new only from £10.65!
3	Off Yonder Wall (1997) more music like this by The Jelly Roll Kings Although they were together off and on in different stints since they formed as the Nighthawks in 1962, blues trio Frank Frost(harmonica, piano, organ), Sam Carr (drums), and Big Jack Johnson (guitar) has had a relatively sparse recording history. They began calling themselves the Jelly Roll Kings in 1979, but the music remained the same stripped ... see all copies from £3.76! new only from £10.35!
4	Memphis Barbecue Sessions (2002) more music like this by Big Jack Johnson & Kim Wilson This album is a joy indeed -- a journey inside the blues and down the Mississippi Delta. Johnson's always been an expressive singer, and in such a stripped-down setting his voice becomes more important than ever on classics like "Smokestack Lightning" and "My Babe." His guitar work offers the ideal backdrop, too, never fancy, but juke-joint ... see all copies from £5.32! new only from £11.08!
5	Live in Chicago (1997) more music like this by Big Jack Johnson Mississippi bluesman Johnson comes North to play in Chicago and the results are indeed satisfying. Taken from two different shows at two different venues (Hothouse and Buddy Guy's Legends) over a period of two years ('94 and '95), Johnson is ably backed by Aaron Burton's band with Lester "Mad Dog" Davenport contributing some nice harp on the set ... see all copies from £9.15! new only from £10.49!
6	Roots Stew (2000) more music like this by Big Jack Johnson Johnson's third album for M.C. is his strongest outing to date, with more than its share of interesting little wrinkles. With the exception of one tune, Johnson penned everything on here, all of them sturdy juke-joint-styled blues that spotlight his trebly accented guitar work and husky vocals. But the real surprises are his acoustic tracks, where ... see all copies from £6.48! new only from £11.46!
7	All the Way Back (1998) more music like this by Big Jack Johnson For All the Way Back, Big Jack Johnson decided to tame the instinct for social commentary and concentrate on what his audience loves: hard-hitting, electrified Delta blues. The result is a monster of a record, filled with great songs and unbridled, earth-shaking playing from Johnson. The key to his music is that he knows how to write a great song, ... see all copies from £5.46! new only from £10.87!
8	The Oil Man (1987) more music like this by Big Jack Johnson With his barbed-wire guitar work and hearty vocal on a marathon rendition of "Catfish Blues," Johnson hauls the time-honored Delta tradition into contemporary blues. The entire album is an eminently solid, doggedly down-home affair, though nothing else quite measures up to the powerhouse attack of that one vicious workout. Bill Dahl, All Music ... see all copies from £10.18! new only from £11.01!
9	Daddy, When Is Mama Comin' Home (1991) more music like this by Big Jack Johnson The precise opposite of the Mississippi guitarist's previous Earwig release. This one's slick, horn-leavened, and full of downhome ruminations on everything from AIDS and spousal abuse to Chinese blues musicians. Too weird for some purists, but definitely engaging in its singular approach. Bill Dahl, All Music Guide see all copies from £8.75! new only from £11.01!
10	Defiance Blues (1998) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from £2.73! new only from £4.59!

A former employee of Bob Koester (the head of Delmark), Michael Robert Frank was inspired to start his own label. In the years since, he has recorded many top unsung blues ... see all copies from £9.13! new only from £11.61!

14 view cover	Essential Blues Guitar (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Essential Blues Guitar is a celebratory collection of swamp blues, electric blues, and modern blues, and an excellent honor to the guitar -- the instrument that made the blues genre one of the 20th century's jubilant sounds.
