1	Sad Days, Lonely Nights (1993) more music like this by Junior Kimbrough If All Night Long was a great electric blues portrait, this sophomore release, given more widespread distribution via Fat Possum's deal with Capricorn, is an extension of the portrait, but with a lot more grit and grind thrown in, given a darker, deeper sound by a change in location (still Kimbrough's joint, but a different building). The vocals ... see all copies from £3.41! new only from £4.75!
2	Black Snake Moan [Original Soundtrack] (2007) more music like this by Original Soundtrack Black Snake Moan, the 2007 movie that stars Samuel L. Jackson as a God-fearing, bent broken soul and tortured former bluesman, with Christina Ricci playing the town tramp he feels he has to redeem by any means necessary, is a wildly provocative look at spiritual and cultural mores -- and is sure to set some folks on edge. The soundtrack that ... see all copies from £7.52! new only from £10.52!
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 £10.43! new only from £11.61!
4	Come on In (1998) more music like this by R.L. Burnside see all copies from £8.42! new only from £8.42!
5	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!
6	The Definitive Collection [Hip-O] (2006) more music like this by John Lee Hooker 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 £8.17! new only from £8.17!
7	Hooker 'n Heat (1971) more music like this by John Lee Hooker w/ Canned Heat When this two-LP set was initially released in January 1971, Canned Heat was back to its R&B roots, sporting slightly revised personnel. In the spring of the previous year, Larry "The Mole" Taylor (bass) and Harvey Mandel (guitar) simultaneously accepted invitations to join John Mayall's concurrent incarnation of the Bluesbreakers. This marked the ... see all copies from £11.55! new only from £11.55!
8	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 £8.10! new only from £11.31!
9	The Very Best of John Lee Hooker [Rhino] (1995) more music like this by John Lee Hooker This 16-track collection sweats down Rhino's two-disc anthology to a lean, mean and essential single disc. Here are the earliest recordings that established Hooker as a major blues artist -- "Boogie Chillen," "Hobo Blues," "I'm In the Mood," "Crawlin' Kingsnake," and "Huckle Up Baby" -- and they sound better here than on most other collections, ... see all copies from £3.30! new only from £4.77!
10	Mr. Lucky (1991) more music like this by John Lee Hooker His latest for Virgin's blues division, contains some entertaining material. It's not a classic, but it's not half-bad either. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from £3.41! new only from £7.35!
11 view cover	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 £6.46! new only from £8.31!
12 view cover	Bad Man (2002) more music like this by T-Model Ford What goes around comes around in the blues world. Although T-Model Ford is from Mississippi, not all of his influences are Mississippi Delta influences -- his dusky, moody electric blues also owe something to Chicago (Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf), Detroit (John Lee Hooker), and Texas (Lightnin' Hopkins). Of course, Waters, Hooker, and Wolf were all ... see all copies from £6.35! new only from £10.19!
13 view cover	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 £2.73! new only from £3.94!
14 view cover	It Serves You Right to Suffer (1966) more music like this by John Lee Hooker Given Hooker's unpredictable timing and piss-poor track record recording with bands, this 1965 one-off session for the jazz label Impulse! would be a recipe for disaster. But with Panama Francis on drums, Milt Hinton on bass, and Barry Galbraith on second guitar, the result is some of the best John Lee Hooker material with a band that you're ... see all copies from £3.59! new only from £4.55!
15 view cover	Remember Me (2004) more music like this by Charles Caldwell The story of Charles Caldwell is that of too many bluesmen -- discovered too late. At least the Fat Possum label did find and record him before he died of cancer in September 2003. And there was no doubt this guy could play, whether on his own or accompanied by a drummer. You want raw Mississippi blues? This is it, as electric as R.L. Burnside or ... see all copies from £5.33! new only from £6.61!
16 view cover	The Best of Hooker 'n Heat (1996) more music like this by Canned Heat & John Lee Hooker 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 £5.81! new only from £8.74!
17 view cover	Endless Boogie (1971) more music like this by John Lee Hooker see all copies from £5.09! new only from £5.09!
18 view cover	God Knows I Tried (1998) more music like this by Junior Kimbrough see all copies from £8.87! new only from £11.31!
19 view cover	The Best of Friends [Bonus Track] (2007) more music like this by John Lee Hooker 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 £4.30! new only from £8.16!
20 view cover	Pee-Wee Get My Gun (1997) more music like this by T-Model Ford Ford fits snugly into what has become the Fat Possum house sound: repetitive, raw electric guitar riffs, going off on one or two-chord vamps with stream-of-consciousness, improvised-sounding lyrics. The effect can be hypnotic or tedious, depending upon your taste. It's got more of a boogie, down-home feel that the usual Fat Possum release though, ... see all copies from £6.83! new only from £10.43!
21 view cover	Not the Same Old Blues Crap, Vol. 3 (2004) more music like this by Various Artists Fat Possum established themselves with the raw, hypnotic Mississippi electric blues of folks like the late, great Junior Kimbrough and R.L. Burnside, but that isn't their only stock in trade, as evidenced by their third label compilation, Not the Same Old Blues Crap, Vol. 3. R.L. Burnside appears a couple times, once in a nice acoustic setting and ... see all copies from £4.66! new only from £5.43!
22 view cover	The Classic Early Recordings: 51-56 [Box] (1994) more music like this by Elmore James & His Broomdusters Although a few hardcore electric Chicago blues fans might take offense at the remark, Elmore James' work does not comprise the most varied discography among major bluesmen. So a single-disc survey of his material, whether it covers the first five years or so of his career (as this three-CD anthology does) or a longer period, works better as both a ... see all copies from £17.68! new only from £17.68!
23 view cover	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!
24 view cover	Blues Classics: Millennium Collection - 20th Century Masters (2003) more music like this by Various Artists 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 £3.75! new only from £6.05!
25 view cover	All Night Long (1992) more music like this by Junior Kimbrough A beautifully packaged edition of Junior Kimbrough's first album, recorded live in the converted church that replaced Kimbrough's original wooden shack juke joint. The lineup is Kimbrough on vocals and guitar, Garry Burnside on bass, and Kenny Malone on drums (it's a family business around this area, and you'll find Burnsides and Malones all over ... see all copies from £8.42! new only from £8.42!
