1	Best of Charley Patton (2003) more music like this by Charley Patton Were Charley Patton alive today, he'd most likely be pleasantly surprised by the durability of his records. Who could've imagined that the musings of a Delta guitarist, recorded for Paramount in the late 1920s and early 1930s, would be treated as relics of art 60 and 70 years later? The Best of Charley Patton includes 23 cuts, 70 minutes of music, ... see all copies from £12.03! new only from £12.03!
2	Complete Recordings: 1929-1934 (2002) more music like this by Charley Patton At the end of just the first disc on this five-CD set, the listener may feel like he/she was in the audio equivalent of a visual "white-out," so powerful are the sounds on that disc. From the opening bars of"Pony Blues," Charley Patton becomes a gigantic musical presence, who gets even bigger as his work goes on; with a guttural, stentorian voice ... see all copies from £22.48! new only from £22.48!
3	The Rough Guide to Delta Blues (2002) more music like this by Various Artists A fantastic compilation that really does span the length of Mississippi Delta blues, from the early days of the Mississippi Sheiks and Charley Patton (with the classic "High Water Everywhere Part One") through to the modern but equally rooted sounds of Asie Payton, R.L. Burnside, and the late Junior Kimbrough. And it's every bit as thorough in ... see all copies from £9.32! new only from £10.25!
4	Primeval Blues, Rags and Gospel Songs (2005) more music like this by Charley Patton This single-disc selection from Yazoo is interesting because it bypasses some of Charley Patton's best-known sides like "Down the Dirt Road Blues" and "High Sheriff Blues" in favor of presenting a more versatile Patton capable of handling gospel and even pop fare (check out the take here of "Some Summer Day" to hear a relatively softer and gentler ... see all copies from £7.09! new only from £11.89!
5	The Music Never Stopped: Roots of the Grateful Dead (1995) more music like this by Various Artists An interesting concept: a compilation of the original versions of 17 songs frequently covered by The Grateful Dead in concert. Thoughtfully assembled, it showcases several aspects of their eclectic roots, encompassing jug band folk, country & western, Appalachian mountain music, country blues, '50s Chicago electric blues, R&B, Dylan, Guthrie, ... see all copies from £5.11! new only from £6.83!
6	American Primitive, Vol. 1 (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Until he took a more deconstructionist course on albums like City of Refuge and Womblife, John Fahey wrote songs that drew largely from his love of country blues and folk music. These early American (and European) forms were assimilated into his own unique fingerpicking guitar style. He spent his late teenage years canvassing for 78 rpm records in ... see all copies from £9.52! new only from £11.08!
7	Pony Blues: His 23 Greatest Songs (1999) more music like this by Charley Patton You could make a valid case that anything recorded by Charley Patton is seminal to the history of blues. These, however, are the secular pieces (in his final 1934 session he also recorded some religious titles) on which his reputation stands, and upon listening it's easy to understand why. He sang and played with total conviction, and so much of ... see all copies from £5.06! new only from £5.06!
8	Founder of the Delta Blues (1969) more music like this by Charley Patton A cornerstone of any blues collection, Charley Patton is where it starts. As compilations go, Founder of the Delta Blues originally started life as a double-record set featuring all of Patton's best-known titles, and soundwise was miles above all previous versions. Its compact disc incarnation here trims the tune list to 24 tracks, but includes ... see all copies from £6.48!
9	Legends of the Blues, Vol. 1 (1991) more music like this by Various Artists This CD serves as a perfect introduction to pre-war blues for the novice since it contains fine examples of the music of 20 blues artists: Bessie Smith, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Mississippi John Hurt, Blind Willie Johnson, Bo Carter, Blind Willie McTell, Lonnie Johnson, Charley Patton, Leroy Carr, Josh White, Leadbelly, Peetie Wheatstraw, Robert ... see all copies from £3.38! new only from £14.87!
10	Screamin' and Hollerin' the Blues: The Worlds of Charley Patton (2001) more music like this by Charley Patton Perhaps the most sumptuous, nay incredible, box set package ever devised for a blues artist, this lavish production contains seven CDs that not only contain everything Patton recorded as a soloist, but a ton of peripheral tracks to which he contributed or was associated. Yes, this has all 54 known extant Patton performances (including four ... see all copies from £93.52!
11 view cover	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 £3.30! new only from £4.97!
12 view cover	Slide Guitar: Streamline Special (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Although the idea behind Slide Guitar: Streamline Special is a little muddy, it is nevertheless a good sampler that demonstrates the versatility of the slide guitar. Because of licensing agreements, the collection sticks to the Columbia vaults, bypassing such slide greats as Elmore James. Then again, with the exception of Muddy Waters, the ... see all copies from £7.84! new only from £8.92!
13 view cover	As Good As It Gets: Country Blues (2000) more music like this by Various Artists For the most part, the Disky label's As Good As It Gets series lives up to its title, dividing early influential musical genres (gospel, cajun, hillbilly, jazz, etc.) into budget-priced two-disc samplers. As Good As It Gets: Country Blues includes 52 original classic performances from the likes of Big Bill Broonzy, Blind Willie McTell, Memphis ... see all copies from £9.55! new only from £14.00!
14 view cover	Hang It on the Wall (2004) more music like this by Charley Patton The story of Delta blues starts with Charley Patton. His slashing slide style, hoarse and gruff vocals, and unerring ability to personalize even the most mundane blues lyric provides the template that eventually led to electric Chicago blues and beyond. Patton's 78s have been collected in several fine packages, including the JSP box called ... see all copies from £6.76! new only from £7.90!
15 view cover	The Definitive (2005) more music like this by Charley Patton The story of Delta blues starts with Charley Patton's slashing slide style, hoarse and gruff vocals, and unerring ability to enliven and enlarge even the most mundane blues lyric. Patton's 78s have been collected in several fine packages, including the JSP box called Complete Recordings: 1929-1934, Catfish's nifty three-disc budget box called The ... see all copies from £14.28! new only from £16.24!
16 view cover	Suitcase Full of Blues (1995) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from £8.83! new only from £10.23!
17 view cover	Roots of Canned Heat (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Canned Heat was formed by three ardent record collectors with a devout passion for old blues 78s from the 1920s and '30s. Guitarist and harmonica player Alan Wilson, singer Bob Hite, and guitarist Henry Vestine took their scholarly interest in these remarkable old recordings and lovingly re-created them for the emerging rock audience in the late ... see all copies from £9.52! new only from £11.25!
18 view cover	Before the Blues, Vol. 2: The Early American Black Music Scene (1996) more music like this by Various Artists The title of this compilation, Before the Blues, may be a deceiving one, particularly as it comes from Yazoo Records, a label that specializes in the earliest music of the genre. While the performances here date back to the first commercial recordings (made during the mid-'20s), the blues, as a musical form, was probably born a good 20 years ... see all copies from £9.97! new only from £12.06!

22 view cover	King of the Delta Blues (1991) more music like this by Charley Patton This excellent companion volume to Founder of the Delta Blues pulls together 23 more Patton tracks (including some alternate takes that were for years thought to be lost) to give a much more complete look at this amazing artist. It's interesting here to compare the tracks from his final session to his halcyon output from 1929. Highlights include ... see all copies from £9.53!
23 view cover	The Half Ain't Never Been Told, Vol. 2 (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Yazoo has released yet another wonderful compilation chock full of recordings that are essential for roots music fans. The Half Ain't Never Been Told, Vol. 2 chronicles American rural religious music of the 1920s and 1930s.

25 view cover	Southern Country Blues, Vol. 2 (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Southern Country Blues, Vol. 2 features three discs of music, each filled to the brim with legendary country blues performers from the South. There's no shortage of big names here: Memphis Minnie, Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Leadbelly, and many others. It's somewhat of a letdown to discover that each performer only gets one song on the ... see all copies from £12.47! new only from £12.47!
