1	In Step (1989) more music like this by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble Stevie Ray Vaughan had always been a phenomenal guitarist, but prior to In Step, his songwriting was hit or miss. Even when he wrote a classic modern blues song, it was firmly within the genre's conventions; only on Soul to Soul's exquisite soul-blues "Life Without You" did he attempt to stretch the boundaries of the form. As it turns out, that ... see all copies from £2.73! new only from £7.98!
2	Wander This World (1998) more music like this by Jonny Lang When reviewers heard teen-aged Jonny Lang's debut album of 1997, Lie to Me, many of them commented on how mature the blues singer/guitarist sounded for his age. Similarly, Lang's second album, Wander This World, often sounds like it could have been the work of a man of 30. With David Z. (known for his work with Prince) producing, the Midwesterner ... see all copies from £2.73! new only from £3.75!
3	Greatest Hits (1995) more music like this by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble Stevie Ray Vaughan was a great guitarist, but he had trouble making consistent albums. Greatest Hits rectifies that problem by collecting all of his best-known tracks, from "Pride and Joy" to "Crossfire." Not only is it a terrific introduction, it's his most consistent album, demonstrating exactly why he was one of the most important guitarists of ... see all copies from £3.96! new only from £5.97!
4	Colorblind (2006) more music like this by Robert Randolph & The Family Band Those who became aware of Robert Randolph's considerable musical gifts on either the awesome Live at the Wetlands or on the underrated Unclassified are in for a surprise. Colorblind expands the Robert Randolph & the Family Band's palette -- on tape anyway, they've been doing stuff like this on the stage for years -- stretching out from the blues ... see all copies from £6.59! new only from £10.18!
5	From the Cradle (1994) more music like this by Eric Clapton For years, fans craved an all-blues album from Eric Clapton; he waited until 1994 to deliver From the Cradle. The album manages to re-create the ambience of postwar electric blues, right down to the bottomless thump of the rhythm section. If it wasn't for Clapton's labored vocals, everything would be perfect. As long as he plays his guitar, he can ... see all copies from £2.73! new only from £4.78!
6	Riding with the King (2000) more music like this by Eric Clapton & B.B. King The potential for a collaboration between B.B. King and Eric Clapton is enormous, of course, and the real questions concern how it is organized and executed. This first recorded pairing between the 74-year-old King and the 55-year-old Clapton was put together in the most obvious way: Clapton arranged the session using many of his regular musicians ... see all copies from £3.41! new only from £8.05!
7	Live at the Regal (1965) more music like this by B.B. King B.B. King is not only a timeless singer and guitarist, he's also a natural-born entertainer, and on Live at the Regal the listener is treated to an exhibition of all three of his talents. Over percolating horn hits and rolling shuffles, King treats an enthusiastic audience (at some points, they shriek after he delivers each line) to a collection ... see all copies from £6.15! new only from £6.83!
8	The Essential Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble (2002) more music like this by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble Epic's The Essential Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble gathers two discs' worth of the late blues guitarist's work, including many live performances and a few tracks with the Vaughan Brothers. The collection presents Vaughan's material in roughly chronological order, from the 1980 live recording "Shake for Me" to 1989's "Life by the Drop." It ... see all copies from £7.46! new only from £10.98!
9	Keep It Simple (2004) more music like this by Keb' Mo' Keb' Mo' is less a blues singer than a performer who works from that conceptual base, not in the way Taj Mahal does, knowingly carrying a tradition forward, half teacher and wise elder, but more as a populist, the James Taylor of blues, say, or a less recalcitrant J.J. Cale. To criticize him for not being Skip James or Robert Johnson sort of ... see all copies from £7.64! new only from £7.64!
10	Live Alive (1986) more music like this by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble Live Alive is a magnificent double-length showcase for Stevie Ray Vaughan's guitar playing, featuring a number of extended jams on a selection of most of the best material from Vaughan's first three albums, plus covers of "Willie the Wimp," "I'm Leaving You (Commit a Crime)," and Stevie Wonder's "Superstition." The album may not be exceptionally ... see all copies from £3.38! new only from £8.30!
11 view cover	Just Won't Burn (1998) more music like this by Susan Tedeschi The very idea of a lady slinging a guitar sets traditional blues fans swooning. But with the release of her debut, Susan Tedeschi slings, aims, and hits her target. What a talent! Singer, songwriter, player, performer, and more, the lady from Boston can do it all. Effective, she does justice to John Prine's classic "Angel from Montgomery" while ... see all copies from £3.34! new only from £5.19!
12 view cover	The Real Deal: Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 (1999) more music like this by Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble Stevie Ray Vaughan was one of a kind. Even his peers knew so. So many times, people like Eric Clapton and Buddy Guy have spoken publicly about Stevie Ray's gift, and it was a gift. His guitar leads would jet off into the stratosphere, return, reload, and blast off again, time after time. The Real Deal is exactly what it says it is. This is a 16 ... see all copies from £6.28! new only from £6.28!
13 view cover	Couldn't Stand the Weather (1984) more music like this by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble Stevie Ray Vaughan's second album, Couldn't Stand the Weather, pretty much did everything a second album should do: it confirmed that the acclaimed debut was no fluke, while matching, if not bettering, the sales of its predecessor, thereby cementing Vaughan's status as a giant of modern blues. So why does it feel like a letdown? Perhaps because it ... see all copies from £2.73! new only from £4.64!
14 view cover	The Complete Stax-Volt Singles 1959-1968 (1991) more music like this by Various Artists At nine discs and 244 tracks, The Complete Stax-Volt Singles: 1959-1968 is far too exhaustive for casual fans, but that's not who the set is designed for -- it's made for the collector. Featuring every A-side the label released during those nine years, as well as several B-sides, the set is a definitive portrait of gritty, deep Southern soul. Many ... see all copies from £58.52! new only from £59.86!
15 view cover	Ledbetter Heights (1995) more music like this by Kenny Wayne Shepherd You would never guess from Kenny Wayne Shepherd's fiery playing that the guitarist is still only in his teens. On his debut, Ledbetter Heights, Shepherd burns through a set of rather generic blues-rock ravers that are made special by his exceptional technique. It may still be a while before he says something original, but he plays with style, ... see all copies from £3.19! new only from £5.46!
16 view cover	See the Light (1988) more music like this by The Jeff Healey Band Jeff Healey's debut album See the Light may be similar to Stevie Ray Vaughan's high-octane blues-rock, but in blues and blues-rock, it's often the little things that count, such as guitar styles, and there's no denying that Healey has a distinctive style. Healey plays his Stratocaster flat on his lap, allowing him to perform unusual long stretches ... see all copies from £3.24! new only from £8.92!
17 view cover	The River in Reverse (2006) more music like this by Elvis Costello/Allen Toussaint It's impossible to consider The River in Reverse without taking the devastation Hurricane Katrina wreaked upon New Orleans into account. Indeed, it's quite likely that this collaboration between Elvis Costello and Allen Toussaint would not even have occurred if it weren't for that cataclysmic event. They've collaborated before -- Toussaint wrote ... see all copies from £2.73! new only from £2.73!
18 view cover	The Sky Is Crying (1991) more music like this by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble The posthumously assembled ten-track outtakes collection The Sky Is Crying actually proves to be one of Stevie Ray Vaughan's most consistent albums, rivaling In Step as the best outside of the Greatest Hits collection. These songs were recorded in sessions spanning from 1984's Couldn't Stand the Weather to 1989's In Step and were left off of the ... see all copies from £3.41! new only from £7.82!
19 view cover	Live in Cook County Jail (1971) more music like this by B.B. King B.B. King has cut a lot of albums since the success of Live at the Regal. And, like the live shows they document, none of them are any less than solid and professional, hallmarks of King's work aesthetic. But every so often B.B. truly catches fire; his playing and singing comes up an extra notch or two, and the result is a live album with some ... see all copies from £5.73! new only from £6.82!
20 view cover	Come Together: America Salutes the Beatles (1995) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from £2.73! new only from £8.74!
21 view cover	Nothin' But the Blues (1977) more music like this by Johnny Winter After a long period making rock records, Winter fronts the Muddy Waters band (with Waters singing) on this Chicago blues workout. He sounds happier than ever before. William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide see all copies from £4.85! new only from £4.85!
22 view cover	Texas Flood (1983) more music like this by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble It's hard to overestimate the impact Stevie Ray Vaughan's debut, Texas Flood, had upon its release in 1983. At that point, blues was no longer hip, the way it was in the '60s. Texas Flood changed all that, climbing into the Top 40 and spending over half a year on the charts, which was practically unheard of for a blues recording. Vaughan became a ... see all copies from £2.73! new only from £5.93!
23 view cover	Me and Mr. Johnson (2004) more music like this by Eric Clapton Ten years after his first all-blues album, From the Cradle, Eric Clapton released Me and Mr. Johnson, an album-length tribute to his hero, the legendary bluesman Robert Johnson. Not that this is the first time Clapton has paid tribute to Johnson. Throughout his career, Clapton has not only drawn on Johnson for inspiration, but he has covered his ... see all copies from £3.73! new only from £12.45!
24 view cover	Blues on the Bayou (1998) more music like this by B.B. King B.B. King made his debut as producer with Blues on the Bayou, released in October 1998. He employs the most basic of ideas for this project: record an album of B.B. King tunes, with B.B. King's regular road band, under B.B. King's supervision. Keeping it loose, relaxed, and focused, King cut this album in four days down at a secluded studio in ... see all copies from £4.75! new only from £7.32!
25 view cover	Never Been Rocked Enough (1992) more music like this by Delbert McClinton One of those influential "musician's musician" types, vocalist/harp-player Delbert McClinton was able to call on the likes of Bonnie Raitt, Tom Petty and Melissa Etheridge for support on Never Been Rocked Enough. The results cover the whole checkerboard while remaining vintage McClinton: his harp wails on "Everytime I Roll the Dice"; "Can I Change ... see all copies from £3.41! new only from £6.04!
