2	The Sopranos: Peppers & Eggs (Music From the HBO Original Series) (2001) more music like this by Original Television Soundtrack At the end of each episode of The Sopranos, a different song plays under the credits. Sometimes the song has been featured elsewhere in the episode, sometimes it is first heard at the end. What the songs have in common is that none of them are mentioned in the credits. Viewers may recognize the familiar ones, a song by Otis Redding, say, or Them's ... see all copies from £10.62! new only from £13.68!
3	First Recordings (2003) more music like this by R.L. Burnside At the time these tracks were cut, 1967 and 1968, R.L. Burnside was working on a plantation in Coldwater, MS, cutting silage. Folklorist George Mitchell was on a mission to record unknown blues singers down South. Mitchell heard about Burnside and paid him a visit, asking if he could record him. That night Mitchell returned to Burnside's place ... see all copies from £10.61! new only from £11.77!
4	A Ass Pocket of Whiskey (1996) more music like this by R.L. Burnside Although he had been playing for years, it wasn't until the 1990s that R.L. Burnside's raw electrified Delta blues were heard by a wide audience. His new fans celebrated his wild, unbridled energy, so it made sense for him to team with the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, the warped indie rock band that's all about energy. However, the very purists ... see all copies from £8.21! new only from £11.47!
5	A Bothered Mind (2004) more music like this by R.L. Burnside When R.L. Burnside and the rest of the Fat Possum confederation emerged from the northern Mississippi hills in the early '90s, they gave contemporary blues a much-needed shot in the ass, reminding everyone that the genre really wasn't so much about pyrotechnic guitar histrionics as it was about getting folks to hit the dancefloor, and once there, ... see all copies from £6.57! new only from £11.47!
6	Not the Same Old Blues Crap (1998) more music like this by Various Artists A sampler from the Fat Possum label that, as the title announces, really isn't the same old blues crap. Fat Possum made its name as a home for raw 1990s juke-joint blues, and a lot of that is here in the cuts by Junior Kimbrough, R.L. Burnside, T-Model Ford, and Jelly Roll Kings. It's straight-up electric guitar blues where the groove and ... see all copies from £2.77! new only from £4.20!
7	Burnside on Burnside (2001) more music like this by R.L. Burnside Like jazz, blues music has faced a problem of attrition, with its major names dying off and younger artists having trouble establishing themselves at anything like an equal level of recognition. One way out of this dilemma has been the discovery of new-old bluesmen, musicians who have reached an advanced age without becoming stars, who can now be ... see all copies from £10.46! new only from £12.29!
8	Mississippi Hill Country Blues (2000) more music like this by R.L. Burnside It's a pleasure to hear R.L. Burnside's early acoustic blues played the way he learned them in the hill country of Northern Mississippi. Three of these tracks date from 1967 and were recorded in Coldwater, MS by folklorist George Mitchell, while the remaining 16 were recorded in the early '80s by Swingmaster operator Leo Bruin in Groningen, ... see all copies from £9.71! new only from £12.06!
9	Wish I Was in Heaven Sitting Down (2000) more music like this by R.L. Burnside Like jazz, the blues has its share of late bloomers -- artists who didn't start recording or didn't become well-known until they were well into their 50s or 60s. R.L. Burnside is very much a late bloomer; the Mississippi bluesman was born in 1926, but it wasn't until the 1990s that he started to enjoy the publicity he deserved. Recorded in 2000, ... see all copies from £8.75! new only from £12.06!
10	First Recordings [Bonus Tracks] (2004) more music like this by R.L. Burnside At the time these tracks were cut, 1967 and 1968, R.L. Burnside was working on a plantation in Coldwater, MS, cutting silage. Folklorist George Mitchell was on a mission to record unknown blues singers down South. Mitchell heard about Burnside and paid him a visit, asking if he could record him. That night Mitchell returned to Burnside's place ... see all copies from £17.72! new only from £20.02!
11 view cover	My Black Name A-Ringin' (1999) more music like this by R.L. Burnside R.L. Burnside has been playing the blues since the '50s, but providing for his large family (he would eventually have 13 children) and his love for his hometown kept him from supporting himself with his music until the '80s. These recordings were made in 1969 when blues musician Big Joe Williams led a carload of Adelphi Records filmmakers and ... see all copies from £9.23! new only from £11.75!
12 view cover	Tangled Up in Blues: Songs of Bob Dylan (1999) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from £9.00! new only from £12.43!
13 view cover	Every Road I Take: The Best of Contemporary Acoustic Blues (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Every Road I Take: The Best of Contemporary Acoustic Blues doesn't do a bad job of living up to its title, sampling tracks from some of the most acclaimed blues artists of the late '90s. There is material from artists like R.L. Burnside, Keb' Mo', Rory Block, Tab Benoit, Alvin Youngblood Hart, and more, painting a rich and diverse portrait of the ... see all copies from £4.40! new only from £4.40!
14 view cover	Mr. Wizard (1997) more music like this by R.L. Burnside While it's not quite as relentlessly exciting as Ass Pocket of Whiskey, primarily because the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion isn't along to provide support, Mr. Wizard is another set of blistering electric blues from R.L. Burnside, highlighted by his stomping guitar, powerful voice and cheerfully vulgar lyrics. Thom Owens, All Music Guide see all copies from £8.19! new only from £9.39!
15 view cover	Acoustic Stories (1997) more music like this by R.L. Burnside R.L. Burnside is notorious for his gritty, greasy Delta blues, as each of his records since his 1991 discovery have been blistering electric recordings. That's what makes Acoustic Stories so refreshing. Recorded at New York City in 1988 with harp player John Neremberg, the album balances originals with a handful of well-selected covers, including ... see all copies from £10.64! new only from £10.64!
16 view cover	Too Bad Jim (1994) more music like this by R.L. Burnside Too Bad Jim is cut from the same cloth as its predecessor, Bad Luck City. It features R.L. Burnside fronting a small juke joint combo, tearing through some greasy blues. However, Too Bad Jim is the better album, simply from a performance standpoint. Burnside sounds more relaxed and the band steps back from the spotlight slightly, letting the ... see all copies from £9.81! new only from £9.81!
17 view cover	Well Well Well (2001) more music like this by R.L. Burnside At first glance, this archival collection may appear to be too much of a hodgepodge. The recording dates range from 1986 to 1993; the locations range from a large theater in The Hague to a shotgun house in New Orleans; the lineups range from solo performances by Burnside to trio sessions with Jon Morris and Calvin Jackson; and the songs range from ... see all copies from £9.56! new only from £11.47!
18 view cover	Sound Machine Groove (1997) more music like this by R.L. Burnside Recorded by folklorist David Evans in 1979 and 1980, these are Burnside's first recordings with electric guitar and also his first with a band. That band was the Sound Machine, a band he literally created himself out of members of his own family, blending raw Mississippi blues with soul, funk, R&B and other urban flavors to make a marvelous ... see all copies from £7.42! new only from £7.42!
19 view cover	Raw Electric 1979-1980 (2001) more music like this by R.L. Burnside see all copies from £9.56! new only from £11.07!
20 view cover	Get the Blues! (2001) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from £2.77!
21 view cover	HMG Blues Sampler (1997) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from £2.77!
22 view cover	The Real Country Blues: Shake 'em on Down (1994) more music like this by Various Artists A generous 22-track collection of recordings originally made for and released by Chris Strachwitz's Arhoolie Records, Shake 'Em on Down is a delightful set of modern country blues performances, and includes Mississippi Fred McDowell's elegant slide guitar playing on the title tune "Shake 'Em on Down," Booker White's chugging "Alabama Blues," Big ... see all copies from £9.98! new only from £13.14!
23 view cover	Arhoolie Presents American Masters, Vol. 1: 15 Down Home Country Blues Classics (1996) more music like this by Various Artists The origins of the blues can be found in the grooves of this fine budget-priced sampler, which includes performances from Mississippi Fred McDowell ("Frisco Line"), the Black Ace ("Drink On, Little Girl"), Bukka White ("Columbus Mississippi Blues") and Big Joe Williams ("Brother James"). Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide see all copies from £5.56! new only from £8.08!
24 view cover	Giants of Country Blues Guitar, Vol. 2 (1994) more music like this by Various Artists Although the recording dates on Giants of Country Blues Guitar, Vol. 2 are quite modern, covering 1975-1991, the direct connections go back to the mid-century, Joe Willie Wilkins having played guitar for Sonny Boy Williamson II (i.e., Rice Miller) on his Trumpet sides. Actually, the players here, of whom the best known is R.L. Burnside, are ... see all copies from £10.02! new only from £14.67!
25 view cover	Blues Fest: Modern Blues of the '90s (1995) more music like this by Various Artists By the 1990s, the face of blues had changed immensely and this 18-track collection attempts to chronicle those changes. While old-timers like Buddy Guy, Charles Brown, and Etta James were still making new, groundbreaking music, second-liners like Billy Boy Arnold, Smokey Wilson, Willie Kent, and R.L. Burnside had moved up through the ranks to take ... see all copies from £4.00!
