1	Raising Sand (2007) more music like this by Robert Plant/Alison Krauss What seems to be an unlikely pairing in the duo of former -- and future apparently -- Led Zeppelin vocalist Robert Plant and bluegrass superstar Alison Krauss is actually one of the most effortless-sounding pairings in modern popular music. The bridge seems to be producer T-Bone Burnett and the band assembled for this outing: drummer Jay Bellerose ... see all copies from £12.25! new only from £12.25!
2	O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000) more music like this by Original Soundtrack The critical consensus at the end of 2000 was that it had been one of the weakest film years in recent memory. Which may have been true, despite O Brother, Where Art Thou?, the Coen brothers' delightfully warm and weird Depression-era re-telling of Homer's Odyssey. But for music lovers, 2000 was an amazing year at the movies, and it produced ... see all copies from £7.39! new only from £7.39!
3	The Complete Recordings [Columbia #1] (1990) more music like this by Robert Johnson A double-disc box set containing everything Robert Johnson ever recorded, The Complete Recordings is essential listening, but it is also slightly problematic. The problems aren't in the music itself, of course, which is stunning and the fidelity of the recordings is the best it ever has been or ever will be. Instead, it's in the track sequencing. ... see all copies from £11.60! new only from £11.60!
4	Essence (2001) more music like this by Lucinda Williams Between her well-documented determination to retail full control of her music and the plain-spoken willfulness of her best-known songs, Lucinda Williams is practically the working definition of a strong woman you do not want to mess with, but she reveals a very different side of her musical personality on her sixth album, Essence. Subtle and often ... see all copies from £8.06! new only from £8.06!
5	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!
6	The Apostle (1998) more music like this by Original Soundtrack Like the film itself, the soundtrack to Robert Duvall's The Apostle is a carefully crafted, subtly brilliant collection of contemporary country and gospel. Only three songs were actually used in the film, but all three -- Steven Curtis Chapman's "I Will Not Go Quietly," Patty Loveless' "Two Coats," Lyle Lovett's "I'm a Soldier in the Army of the ... see all copies from £3.06! new only from £15.02!
7	At San Quentin [CD/DVD] (2006) more music like this by Johnny Cash At San Quentin was released as a single-disc expanded edition in 2000 bearing the subtitle "The Complete Concert," so the appearance of the triple-disc Legacy Edition of the album a mere six years later brings up one simple question: if the 2000 edition was complete at a single disc, how is this set more complete? The answer is both complicated ... see all copies from £9.96! new only from £22.08!
8	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!
9	The Natch'l Blues (1968) more music like this by Taj Mahal Taj Mahal's second album, recorded in the spring and fall of 1968, opens with more stripped-down Delta-style blues in the manner of his debut, but adds a little more amplification (partly courtesy of Al Kooper on organ) before moving into wholly bigger sound on numbers like "She Caught the Katy and Left Me a Mule to Ride" and "The Cuckoo" -- the ... see all copies from £6.15! new only from £7.30!
10	Lady Day: The Best of Billie Holiday (2001) more music like this by Billie Holiday Forget for a moment that The Best of Lady Day: The Best of Billie Holiday was tied into the release of the superb box set, Lady Day: The Complete Billie Holiday on Columbia, thereby offering a bit of advertisement to the full-fledged set. That doesn't matter -- even if there was never a box set, this would have been a welcome addition to Billie ... see all copies from £9.80! new only from £11.46!
11 view cover	Lady in Satin [Columbia 17 Track] (1958) more music like this by Billie Holiday This is the most controversial of all Billie Holiday records. Lady Day herself said that this session (which finds her accompanied by Ray Ellis' string orchestra) was her personal favorite, and many listeners have found her emotional versions of such songs as "I'm a Fool to Want You," "You Don't Know What Love Is," "Glad to Be Unhappy," and ... see all copies from £4.09! new only from £4.09!
12 view cover	10 Days Out (Blues from the Backroads) (2007) more music like this by Kenny Wayne Shepherd 10 Days Out may well be Kenny Wayne Shepherd's most important and intriguing album, even though the guitarist is hardly the featured artist on any of these tracks, working instead more as a sideman and facilitator for the impressive cast of venerable blues players who get a chance to shine here. Make no mistake about it, this recording belongs to ... see all copies from £12.29! new only from £16.57!
13 view cover	Ramblin' (1979) more music like this by Lucinda Williams A collection of blues and country standards by Robert Johnson, Memphis Minnie, Hank Williams, and others. Williams is accompanied only by guitarist John Grimaudo. Re-released by Smithsonian/Folkways in 1991 as Ramblin'. Kurt Wolff, All Music Guide see all copies from £7.65! new only from £11.05!
14 view cover	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!
15 view cover	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!
16 view cover	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!
17 view cover	Dancing the Blues (1993) more music like this by Taj Mahal Taj Mahal has always been a more inclusive, eclectic musician than even some admirers understand; his work was never simply or totally blues, even though that strain was at the center and seldom far from anything he performed either. That's the case with this newest collection, a 12-song set that includes splendid covers of Muddy Waters and Howlin ... see all copies from £4.23! new only from £8.92!
18 view cover	Genuine Houserockin' Christmas (2003) more music like this by Various Artists Genuine Houserockin' Christmas is a 16-track compilation of newly recorded holiday tunes sampling the roster of Alligator Records. These tunes capture several Chicago blues, modern soul, and zydeco artists including Koko Taylor, Lonnie Brooks, Lil' Ed & the Blues Imperials, Coco Montoya, C.J. Chenier & the Red Hot Louisiana Band, Saffire - The ... see all copies from £10.94! new only from £10.94!
19 view cover	Gospels, Spirituals & Hymns (1991) more music like this by Mahalia Jackson Although it's missing some of her classic performances, the double-disc set Gospels, Spirituals & Hymns is nonetheless an excellent introduction to Mahalia Jackson, arguably the greatest gospel singer of all time. The box set features 36 performances she recorded for Columbia between 1954 and 1969, offering a comprehensive, but by no means ... see all copies from £7.48! new only from £13.50!
20 view cover	Bronx in Blue (2005) more music like this by Dion Since his doo wop beginnings in the 1950s, Dion has tried a number of different musical styles, including the rock & roll of his early-'60s solo work and his late-'60s folk-pop phase. He also played the blues, if less prominently (see for example the belatedly released Bronx Blues album), and he again tries the style here in what he bills as a ... see all copies from £10.25! new only from £12.29!
21 view cover	The Complete Blind Willie Johnson (1993) more music like this by Blind Willie Johnson If you've never heard Blind Willie Johnson, you are in for one of the great, bone-chilling treats in music. Johnson played slide guitar and sang in a rasping, false bass that could freeze the blood. But no bluesman was he; this was gospel music of the highest order, full of emotion and heartfelt commitment. Of all the guitar-playing evangelists, ... see all copies from £11.37! new only from £11.37!
22 view cover	Alone & Acoustic (1991) more music like this by Buddy Guy/Junior Wells The classic pairing of Buddy Guy and Junior Wells has been captured many times on vinyl, cassette, and disc over the years, but rarely with such intimacy and subtle, restrained energy as on this wonderful collection. Buddy Guy plays mostly 12 string guitar, and Junior laces his signature lines through the songs, engaging Guy in the kind of musical ... see all copies from £7.86! new only from £11.54!
23 view cover	Best of B.B. King: 20th Century Masters/The Christmas Collection (2003) more music like this by B.B. King This edition in Universal's discount-priced compilation series 20th Century Masters/The Christmas Collection is actually a re-titled reissue of the 2001 collection A Christmas Celebration of Hope. It took B.B. King a long time to get around to his first Christmas album, which didn't appear until about half a century into his recording career. It's ... see all copies from £4.78! new only from £6.36!
24 view cover	The Anthology: 1947-1972 (2001) more music like this by Muddy Waters 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 £11.00! new only from £17.01!
25 view cover	The Essential Taj Mahal (2005) more music like this by Taj Mahal The Essential Taj Mahal pulls together the bluesman's Columbia, Warner, Gramavision Private Music, and Hannibal labels' recordings, making it the first truly cross-licensed compilation of his work. Given the depth and breadth of this set (it covers four decades), the listener gets not only a cross-sectional view of the artist, but also his ... see all copies from £13.44! new only from £16.49!
