1	The Definitive Collection [Geffen] (2006) more music like this by Muddy Waters add to wishlist There are scores of Muddy Waters compilations out there, and while it might be overreaching a bit to call this 24-track single-disc set definitive, it is still a mighty good selection, including as it does all of Waters' major singles from Chess Records and its Aristocrat Records imprint between the years 1948 and 1964 along with a single track ... see all copies from £9.05! new only from £9.05!
2	The Anthology: 1947-1972 (2001) more music like this by Muddy Waters add to wishlist There have been countless collections of Muddy Waters' classic Chess material released over the years, but Chess began to whittle down the domestic catalog toward the late '90s. The triple-disc Chess box remained in print, but they added two single-disc collections that each covered a specific period in Waters' career at Chess. Then, in 2001, MCA ... see all copies from £16.82! new only from £16.82!
3	The Chess Box (1990) more music like this by Muddy Waters add to wishlist The Chess Box does not contain all the great music Muddy Waters made. His talent and legacy are too large to be captured in a mere three discs, even one that spans from 1947 to 1972. This means, of course, that his legendary plantation recordings with Alan Lomax are not here, nor is his dynamic late-'70s comeback, Hard Again. But, truth be told, ... see all copies from £19.06! new only from £26.30!
4	Breakin' It Up & Breakin' It Down (2007) more music like this by Muddy Waters/Johnny Winter/James Cotton add to wishlist In March 1977, Muddy Waters, Johnny Winter, and James Cotton did a concert tour together in support of Waters' then-recent Hard Again LP, on which Winter had played guitar (as well as produced) and Cotton had played harmonica. This CD, not released until about 30 years later, has an hour of music drawn from three different shows on the tour. It ... see all copies from £6.60! new only from £6.60!
5	The Best of Friends [Bonus Track] (1998) more music like this by John Lee Hooker add to wishlist John Lee Hooker's recordings for Virgin/Point Blank may have varied in quality, but never in formula. Once The Healer earned reams of praise and, more importantly, solid sales upon its 1989 release, it was pretty much set in stone that every future Hooker album would be painstakingly constructed and boast a plethora of superstar cameos. The guest ... see all copies from £7.77! new only from £7.77!
6	Bare Wires [Bonus Tracks] (1968) more music like this by John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers add to wishlist Bare Wires was the first Bluesbreakers album of new studio material since A Hard Road, released 16 months before. In that time, the band had turned over entirely, expanding to become a septet. Mayall's musical conception had also expanded -- the album began with a 23-minute "Bare Wires Suite," which included more jazz influences than usual and ... see all copies from £7.48! new only from £7.48!
7	Blues Classics: Millennium Collection - 20th Century Masters (2003) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist There is no doubt that all of the tracks on this collection are indeed blues classics. B.B. King's "The Thrill Is Gone," Muddy Waters' "Got My Mojo Working," and Big Mama Thornton's "Hound Dog" are just three of the signature songs found here. With so many blues anthologies on the market, though, this compilation suffers for its brief length, and ... see all copies from £6.19! new only from £6.19!
8	King of the Electric Blues (1997) more music like this by Muddy Waters add to wishlist The first 20-bit remastering of any of Muddy's late career work for Johnny Winter's Blue Sky label is of considerable interest. The fact that, in the wake of the earlier Blues Sky best-of disc, there's enough material to do another 60-minute-plus collection, also speaks well for this catalog. The clarity of the Super Bit Mapping audio brings out a ... see all copies from £3.11! new only from £3.53!
9	Folk Singer (1964) more music like this by Muddy Waters add to wishlist Muddy's "unplugged" album was cut in September of 1963 and still sounds fresh and vital today. It was Muddy simply returning to his original style on a plain acoustic guitar in a well-tuned room with Willie Dixon on string bass, Clifton James on drums, and Buddy Guy on second acoustic guitar. The nine tracks are divvied up between full rhythm ... see all copies from £6.64! new only from £6.64!
10	Hoochie Coochie Man [LRC] (2001) more music like this by Muddy Waters add to wishlist The source for this 1964 live performance appears to be Lippmann and Rau, the sponsors of Europe's American Folk Blues Festival. Considering that Chess Records never recorded Muddy's live set during this era, this disc is priceless. Otis Spann is at the piano, George Smith plays sax, Sammy Lawhorn is the second guitarist, and Francis Clay and ... see all copies from £3.11! new only from £3.12!
11	A Hard Road (1967) more music like this by John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers add to wishlist Eric Clapton is usually thought of as John Mayall's most important right-hand man, but the case could also be made for his successor, Peter Green. The future Fleetwood Mac founder leaves a strong stamp on his only album with the Bluesbreakers, singing a few tracks and writing a couple, including the devastating instrumental "Supernatural." Green's ... see all copies from £4.88! new only from £6.64!
12	The Turning Point (1969) more music like this by John Mayall add to wishlist This prophetically titled project represents yet another crossroad in John Mayall's ever evolving cast of prime British bluesmen. This album also signifies a distinct departure from the decibel drowning electrified offerings of his previous efforts, providing instead an exceedingly more folk and roots based confab. The 2001 "remastered & revisited ... see all copies from £4.79! new only from £13.38!
13	USA Union (1970) more music like this by John Mayall add to wishlist John Mayall's "Turning Point" band -- Jon Mark, Johnny Almond, and Steve Thompson -- broke up in June 1970 after a European tour, with Mark and Almond forming their own band, appropriately named Mark-Almond. Mayall then assembled his first all-American band, consisting of violinist Don "Sugarcane" Harris, guitarist Harvey Mandel, and bassist Larry ... see all copies from £3.11! new only from £5.19!
14	The Best of the Blues [MCA Special Products] (1990) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Certainly, a single-disc budget-line collection such as MCA Special Products' Best of the Blues can't live up to its title, but those expecting such a disc to be a definitive introduction to such a rich idiom as the blues are simply deluding themselves. Think of the compilation as an affordable sampler of one label's vaults, and you'll be on the ... see all copies from £3.11! new only from £4.99!
15	Prestige Profiles, Vol. 8 (2005) more music like this by Lightnin' Hopkins add to wishlist Prestige Profiles, Vol. 8 contains previously released tracks taken from Texas bluesman Lightnin' Hopkins' short stint with the label. These 16 cuts feature both solo and small-combo sessions recorded between 1960 and 1964, and include tasteful versions of such Lightnin' favorites as "Mojo Hand," "Katie Mae," "I'm a Crawling Black Snake," and ... see all copies from £3.11! new only from £5.06!
16	Blues from Laurel Canyon (1968) more music like this by John Mayall add to wishlist Mayall's first post-Bluesbreakers album saw the man returning to his roots after the jazz/blues fusion that was Bare Wires. Blues from Laurel Canyon is a blues album, through and through. Testimony to this is the fact that there's a guitar solo only 50 seconds into the opening track. Indeed, Mayall dispersed the entire brass section for Blues from ... see all copies from £4.99! new only from £9.34!
17	Along for the Ride (2001) more music like this by John Mayall & Friends add to wishlist By the time this was released in 2001, John Mayall was more known for the people who played in his seminal British band, the Bluesbreakers rather than his own accomplishments. The success of 1999's Padlock on the Blues afforded Mayall the opportunity to fulfill his dreams and gather an all-star lineup of blues and rock luminaries. "A World of Hurt ... see all copies from £4.79! new only from £8.98!
18	The Best of the Vee-Jay Years (2007) more music like this by Jimmy Reed add to wishlist A Jimmy Reed compilation titled The Best of the Vee-Jay Years is synonymous with a collection that assembles the very best of Jimmy Reed, since it was on Vee-Jay that the bluesman was in his artistic and commercial prime. Certainly this 18-song compilation isn't the first time this material has been, more or less, assembled into one place. The ... see all copies from £5.80! new only from £7.19!
19	The Definitive Collection [Hip-O] (2006) more music like this by John Lee Hooker add to wishlist What can be said about yet another John Lee Hooker greatest-hits collection!? Not only is the music consumer loaded down with these discs, but frankly, most are very similar in content. The main thing to look for when purchasing a compilation of "The Hook" is a trust-worthy label. Hip-O's Definitive Collection provides one such example, complete ... see all copies from £8.44! new only from £8.44!
20	The Turning Point [Bonus Tracks 2001] (1969) more music like this by John Mayall add to wishlist Recorded just after Mick Taylor departed for the Rolling Stones, Mayall eliminated drums entirely on this live recording. With mostly acoustic guitars and John Almond on flutes and sax, Mayall and his band, as his typically overblown liner notes state, "explore seldom-used areas within the framework of low-volume music." But it does work. The all ... see all copies from £9.32! new only from £9.32!
21	The Best of Mississippi John Hurt [Vanguard] (1968) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt add to wishlist Contrary to what its title would make one believe, this record is not a collection of previously available recordings by Mississippi John Hurt -- rather, it is a complete concert from Oberlin College on April 15, 1965. Regardless, the title is justified, as the concert features Hurt in excellent form doing most of his best known classic songs from ... see all copies from £10.95! new only from £10.95!
22	The Real Folk Blues/More Real Folk Blues [MCA] (1999) more music like this by Muddy Waters add to wishlist Waters' The Real Folk Blues and More Real Folk Blues, combined here onto one CD, were not exactly random collections of tracks -- the quality was too consistently high for them to just have been picked out of a hat. Still, it was a pretty arbitrary grouping of items that he recorded between 1947 and 1964. In fact, they hail from throughout his ... see all copies from £9.31! new only from £9.31!
23	The Best of Hooker 'n Heat (1996) more music like this by Canned Heat & John Lee Hooker add to wishlist The ten songs on Best of Hooker 'n Heat were originally released as part of a 1971 album (on Liberty 35002); this reissue, despite the lack of historical liner notes, isn't exactly short of value, clocking in at 56 minutes. Canned Heat gets top billing, but really it's John Lee Hooker's show, as he sings all the tracks and takes all the ... see all copies from £7.19! new only from £7.19!
24	Live at Cafe Au Go Go (1967) more music like this by John Lee Hooker add to wishlist A decent if somewhat low-key electric set, recorded in August of 1966. One of his better live bands, featuring support from Otis Spann and other members of Muddy Waters' group. The eight songs include Hooker standbys like "One Bourbon, One Scotch and One Beer" and "I'll Never Get out of These Blues Alive." ~ Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide see all copies from £7.08! new only from £10.25!
25	A Hard Road [Expanded] (1967) more music like this by John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers add to wishlist Some John Mayall fans might be disappointed to find that the radically expanded two-CD edition of A Hard Road actually includes no previously unreleased material, even though it tacks on a whopping 22 additional tracks. It's more a complete document of the Bluesbreakers' recordings with Peter Green, of which A Hard Road was just the most prominent ... see all copies from £15.08! new only from £15.08!
