His Best (Chess 50th Anniversary Collection) (1997) more music like this

by Little Walter

As MCA reconfigures their Chess catalog, this 20-track single-disc compilation now takes the place of their original 12-track Best of Little Walter collection, a landmark blues album which had remained in print for over three decades. His Best (Chess 50th Anniversary Collection) reprises ten of those seminal tracks (leaving off the echoey "Blue ...

The Best Blues Album in the World Ever (2000) more music like this

by Various Artists

Hardly. What is on this two-disc set is a real hodgepodge of new and old tracks by a variety of artists ranging from soul shouters and blues-rockers to the true originators. Disc one gets off to a sluggish start with tracks from Johnny Winter, the Boneshakers, Colin James, Larry McCray, the Kinsey Report, John Hammond, Duke Robillard, and Terry ...

Chess Blues is a superlative four-CD box set featuring important tracks by all the main stars of the label (Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, Sonny Boy Williamson), as well as much previously unreleased material.

The Chess Box

The Chess Box (1989) more music like this

by Willie Dixon

This was the most unusual, and probably the most difficult to assemble of MCA's Chess Box series, mostly because of the unusual nature of Willie Dixon's contribution to Chess Records. To be sure, Dixon rates a place in the history of the label right alongside that of Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, and Little Walter, but his role was more subtle than ...

by Various Artists

An instantly recognizable bargain bin staple since the late '70s, thanks to their colorful comic book covers tracing the romantic life of an Everycouple named Peg and Eddie, the Cruisin' series of discs are built on a brilliant concept: each disc is devoted to a single year, with hit songs, local commercials, station jingles, and news headlines, ...

Blues Masters, Vol. 6: Blues Originals (1993) more music like this

by Various Artists

It's unfortunate, but it's true: the original versions of many blues classics aren't nearly as well known as their hit covers by (usually white) rock groups. That's not to say that some of these covers aren't great as well, but it's both educational and enjoyable to hear them from the source's mouth. Blues Originals contains 18 original versions ...

Blues Masters, Vol. 2: Postwar Chicago Blues (1992) more music like this

by Various Artists

Excellent 18 track compendium of all the major movers and shakers who helped shape the Chicago blues scene in the 50s. Everyone is well represented here, and major stars like Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf stand next to behind-the-scenes geniuses like Earl Hooker and Jody Williams for an interesting, and accurate, blend. ~ Cub Koda, All Music Guide

Yet another of many Chess starter discs, Best of Chess Blues, Vol. 1 offers a slim but strong mix of classic Chicago blues from the late ?40s through the ?50s. Including several key electric blues cuts and plenty seeds from which both early rock ?n' roll and the bluesier side of the British Invasion took inspiration, the 14 tracks touch on both ...

by Various Artists

The Universal Special Products compilation Blowin' the Blues does a fair job of introducing ten of the best-known harmonica wizards of the 20th century, with considerable space given to the masters of Chicago blues: Sonny Boy Williamson, James Cotton, Little Walter, Howlin' Wolf, and Junior Wells. Also included are legendary cuts by Slim Harpo ( ...

The Blues World of Little Walter (1988) more music like this

by Little Walter

If you really want to hear what Little Walter sounded like in his pre-amplified days and early stages of development with the Muddy Waters band, this is the one to get. The title is a bit of a misnomer as Walter is featured more as a sideman to Baby Face Leroy, Muddy Waters and others on early Parkway, Regal and Savoy sides, but it's clear that ...

With such a wealth of great harmonica blues out there, and with such an outstanding track record on Rhino's part in general when it comes to historical compilations, it's no surprise that their second anthology of harmonica blues is just as good as the first. There are fine cuts by many big guns here, including Little Walter, both Sonny Boy ...

Tomato Delta Blues gathers 16 of the label's best-known performers, including Howlin' Wolf, Lightnin' Slim, John Lee Hooker, and Brownie McGhee.

This 25-track collection brings together some of the most inspiring blues harp performances on record.

by Little Walter

Many blues fans identify this album by the scar on its front cover, and this doesn't mean that their copy got damaged lying around in the used-record pile. A larger than life black-and-white photograph of Little Walter fills the front cover with a visual impact that just cannot be matched in the petite world of compact discs. A jewel case would ...

Blues Masters Sampler (1994) more music like this

by Various Artists

Rhino designed their multi-disc Blues Masters series as a simple, one-stop introduction to the history of the blues for any curious listener. Which means, of course, that this single-disc sampler is the introduction to the introduction -- a little reductive, to be sure, but useful nonetheless. These 15 tracks should by no means be seen as the ...

Leave it to the venerable Time-Life Inc. to release a great grand-daddy among blues compilations, featuring genuine (and often inexplicably ignored) hardcore blues artists, presenting some of their best but not necessarily well-circulated songs. The scholarship here is all about diversity among very good examples: there are no soft anomalies or ...

Essential Blues Harmonica (1997) more music like this

by Various Artists

Essential Blues Harmonica is an excellent look at some of the genre's chart-toppers and innovators. Most importantly, it is a healthy dose of harmonica ringing with vocalic beauty from those who heavily defined the blistering blues. It is certainly a touching look back at some of the classic cuts by Sonny Boy Williamson, Howlin' Wolf, and Jimmy ...

Beyond those items that were directly sampled, various pieces from the first two "generations" of the blues are given as representatives of the major figures.
