1	O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000) more music like this by Original Soundtrack add to wishlist 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 £3.11! new only from £4.98!
2	Raising Sand (2007) more music like this by Robert Plant/Alison Krauss add to wishlist 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 £5.92! new only from £10.77!
3	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!
4	The Complete Recordings [Longbox] (1990) more music like this by Robert Johnson add to wishlist 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 £7.81! new only from £9.80!
5	10 Days Out (Blues from the Backroads) (2007) more music like this by Kenny Wayne Shepherd add to wishlist 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 £8.88! new only from £8.88!
6	It Serves You Right to Suffer (1966) more music like this by John Lee Hooker add to wishlist 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 £3.42! new only from £3.42!
7	Martin Scorsese Presents the Blues: The Best of the Blues (2003) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist A massive media campaign comprising seven documentary films broadcast on public television and released as a DVD box set, plus accompanying soundtrack albums, a 13-part radio series, a companion book, 12 individual artist compilations, and a five-CD box set, The Blues, executive produced by filmmaker Martin Scorsese, threatened to be even more all ... see all copies from £5.44! new only from £11.42!
8	More Than 50 Most Loved Hymns (2005) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from £5.58! new only from £12.09!
9	Keb' Mo' (1994) more music like this by Keb' Mo' add to wishlist Keb' Mo's self-titled debut is an edgy, ambitious collection of gritty country blues. Keb' Mo' pushes into new directions, trying to incorporate some of the sensibilites of the slacker revolution without losing touch of the tradition that makes the blues the breathing, vital art form it is. His attempts aren't always successful, but his gutsy ... see all copies from £4.36! new only from £4.88!
10	Deadwood: Music From the HBO Original Series (2005) more music like this by TV Original Soundtrack add to wishlist The soundtrack to HBO's award-winning western series is as mischievous and grim as the town that serves as its namesake. Composer David Schwartz (Northern Exposure) provides the rousing title sequence with a theme that blends classic cowboy motifs with spooky bits of worldbeat flavor that reflect Deadwood's multi-cultural locals and hellfire and ... see all copies from £10.51! new only from £10.51!
11	Lady in Satin (1958) more music like this by Billie Holiday add to wishlist 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 £3.12! new only from £4.05!
12	Anthology of American Folk Music, Vol. 1-3 (1997) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Originally released in 1952 as a quasi-legal set of three double LPs and reissued several times since (with varying cover art), Anthology of American Folk Music could well be the most influential document of the '50s folk revival. Many of the recordings that appeared on it had languished in obscurity for 20 years, and it proved a revelation to a ... see all copies from £59.42! new only from £59.42!
13	You Don't Know My Mind (1998) more music like this by Guy Davis add to wishlist You Don't Know My Mind brings back the familiar, friendly growl of modern-day traditionalist Guy Davis, with a pipin' hot baker's dozen of his compositions. Again, on this disc Davis has some extremely able players to help augment his songs and support his vision of them, never overplaying or getting in the way, but providing that constant base of ... see all copies from £3.76! new only from £5.96!
14	At San Quentin [CD/DVD] (1969) more music like this by Johnny Cash add to wishlist 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 £6.88! new only from £8.00!
15	Just Like You (1996) more music like this by Keb' Mo' add to wishlist On his second album, Keb' Mo' begins to expand the borders of his Delta blues by recording with a full band on a couple of tracks and attempting more expansive, rock-based song structures. The attempts aren't entirely successful and it's ironic that he decided to try rock-oriented material after he received such praise for his traditionalist debut ... see all copies from £3.72! new only from £5.75!
16	Come on in This House (1997) more music like this by Junior Wells add to wishlist Junior Wells' penchant for clowning around sometimes conflicts with his craftsmanship, but he's all business on Come on in This House, his most unadulterated blues record since his highly acclaimed Hoodoo Man Blues of more than 30 years vintage. This is what has come to be known as an "unplugged" session -- that is, predominately, although not ... see all copies from £5.96! new only from £9.44!
17	The Complete Aladdin Recordings (1991) more music like this by Lightnin' Hopkins add to wishlist This is where it all began for the Houston troubadour: 43 solo sides, as evocative and stark as any he ever did, from 1946-1948. The first 13 sides find the guitarist in tandem with pianist Wilson "Thunder" Smith (who handles the vocals on a few tracks), but after that, old Lightnin' Hopkins went the solo route. "Katie May," "Short Haired Woman," ... see all copies from £7.48! new only from £7.96!
18	Lady Sings the Blues (1956) more music like this by Billie Holiday add to wishlist see all copies from £4.17! new only from £7.57!
19	Billie Holiday's Greatest Hits [MCA] (1967) more music like this by Billie Holiday add to wishlist GRP's Greatest Hits is not designed for collectors or serious fans, as it will likely frustrate them. Casual fans, however, and the curious will be well served by this 19-track collection of highlights from Billie Holiday's Decca recordings, featuring such songs as "Easy Living," "Solitude," "God Bless the Child," "T'Ain't Nobody's Bizness if I Do ... see all copies from £4.12! new only from £7.57!
20	Greatest Hits [Columbia/Legacy] (1998) more music like this by Billie Holiday add to wishlist There's something scandalous about the fact that this 13-song CD is, as of spring 2000, the only upgrade to date of Columbia Records' holdings on Billie Holiday. It's good as far as it goes, as part of Sony Music's 20-bit remastering of the highlights of its jazz catalog, but it makes one wonder how long listeners have to wait for the nine volumes ... see all copies from £4.98! new only from £5.65!
21	Alligator Records 35X35 (2006) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist After 35 years and the release of over 2800 contemporary blues tracks, it's safe to say that Bruce Iglauer's Alligator Records is the world's premier blues label, particularly if sheer numbers are factored in, and while the label's releases tend to sound mind-numbingly similar sometimes, this two-disc overview of Alligator's history shows how much ... see all copies from £5.63! new only from £10.90!
22	Best of B.B. King: 20th Century Masters/The Christmas Collection (2003) more music like this by B.B. King add to wishlist 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 £6.63! new only from £6.63!
23	Suitcase (2006) more music like this by Keb' Mo' add to wishlist On Suitcase, his eighth studio release, Keb' Mo' (Kevin Moore) reunites with John Porter, the producer of Moore's critically lauded first album, and the result is a pleasant, midtempo suite of songs dedicated to the emotional baggage everyone carries with them as they plow through increasingly complicated lives in search of peace, love, and some ... see all copies from £8.26! new only from £8.26!
24	Favorite Hymns of the Homecoming Friends (1999) more music like this by Bill & Gloria Gaither add to wishlist see all copies from £6.46! new only from £8.52!
25	Truth Is Not Fiction (2003) more music like this by Otis Taylor add to wishlist Otis Taylor can make people nervous. His take on the blues is defiant, angry, aggressive, and confrontational, owing as much to Peter Tosh as Charley Patton. Although he carries the dust of 1920s country blues in his mostly acoustic songs, his railings against social injustices are thoroughly contemporary. Taylor is an often pedantic songwriter, ... see all copies from £10.96! new only from £10.96!
