1	Hoodoo Man Blues (1965) more music like this by Junior Wells One of the truly classic blues albums of the 1960s, and one of the first to fully document the smoky ambience of a night at a West side nightspot in the superior acoustics of a recording studio. Wells just set up with his usual cohorts -- guitarist Buddy Guy (billed as "Friendly Chap" on first vinyl pressings), bassist Jack Myers, and drummer ... see all copies from £5.92! new only from £8.21!
2	His Best [MCA] (1997) more music like this by Sonny Boy Williamson While some hardliners will point to his early 1950s Trumpet recordings as his most undiluted work, Sonny Boy's tenure at Chess Records was his longest and most successful and therefore deserves first look for the novice coming to this remarkable bluesman at ground level. This 20-track collection takes 17 tracks from the excellent two-disc ... see all copies from £7.11! new only from £7.11!
3	The Paul Butterfield Blues Band (1965) more music like this by The Paul Butterfield Blues Band Even after his death, Paul Butterfield's music didn't receive the accolades that were so deserved. Outputting styles adopted from Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters among other blues greats, Butterfield became one of the first white singers to rekindle blues music through the course of the mid-'60s. His debut album, The Paul Butterfield Blues Band, saw ... see all copies from £5.35! new only from £6.29!
4	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 £12.52! new only from £16.66!
5	Blind Pig Records 30th Anniversary Collection (2006) more music like this by Various Artists Blind Pig Records 30th Anniversary Collection features 33 tracks from this influential independent blues label. While this is a solid two-disc set, it contains few surprises and no unreleased tracks. What does make this collection appealing is the bonus DVD featuring six live performances from the Blind Pig archives by Tommy Castro, Popa Chubby, ... see all copies from £8.28! new only from £11.64!
6	His Best (Chess 50th Anniversary Collection) (1997) more music like this by Little Walter As MCA reconfigures their Chess catalog, this 20-track single-disc compilation now takes the place of their original 12-track Best of Little Walter collection, a landmark blues album which had remained in print for over three decades. His Best (Chess 50th Anniversary Collection) reprises ten of those seminal tracks (leaving off the echoey "Blue ... see all copies from £7.11! new only from £7.11!
7	The Alligator Records Christmas Collection (1992) more music like this by Various Artists This entertaining CD serves a dual purpose, introducing listeners to many of the blues artists who have recorded for Alligator and giving consumers a rare Christmas blues record. The performers include Koko Taylor, Kenny Neal, Lil' Ed & the Blues Imperials, Katie Webster (on a rollicking "Deck the Halls With Boogie Woogie"), William Clarke, ... see all copies from £6.93! new only from £9.08!
8	East-West (1966) more music like this by The Paul Butterfield Blues Band The second Butterfield album had an even greater effect on music history, paving the way for experimentation that is still being explored today. This came in the form of an extended blues-rock solo (some 13 minutes) -- a real fusion of jazz and blues inspired by the Indian raga. This groundbreaking instrumental was the first of its kind and marks ... see all copies from £3.64! new only from £6.66!
9	Good for What Ails You: Music of the Medicine Show (2005) more music like this by Various Artists The American medicine show came into its own shortly after the Civil War with the rise of so-called patent medicines and the almost complete lack of regulations concerning the ingredients that went into them, and any number of noxious tonics, elixirs, and nostrums with trumpeted healing powers were hawked by silver-tongued pitch doctors to the ... see all copies from £16.09! new only from £16.09!
10	The Resurrection of Pigboy Crabshaw (1967) more music like this by The Paul Butterfield Blues Band In his third album, Butterfield adds a horn section and the direction of the group has started to veer away from straight Chicago-style blues toward a sound more influenced by R&B. By this time, Bloomfield has left the group and Elvin Bishop (aka Pigboy Crabshaw) takes over on lead guitar. A lot of great tunes here, like "Driftin' and Driftin." ... see all copies from £3.54! new only from £6.98!
11 view cover	A Hard Road (1967) more music like this by John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers 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 £4.67! new only from £6.27!

15 view cover	Road Dogs (2005) more music like this by John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers John Mayall's stature in the world of blues-rock cannot be understated, as his Bluesbreakers outfit was the launching pad for such renowned players as Eric Clapton, Mick Taylor, and Peter Green. And while there are no musicians as recognizable as Clapton on the Bluesbreakers' 2005 release, Road Dogs, Mayall (who handles vocals, piano, harmonica, ... see all copies from £4.10! new only from £7.59!

19 view cover	Looking Back (1969) more music like this by John Mayall Reasonably interesting collection of non-LP singles from 1964 to 1968, featuring almost all of the notable musicians that passed through the Bluesbreakers throughout the decade. "Sitting in the Rain" (with Peter Green) showcases fine fingerpicking, the haunting "Jenny" is one of Mayall's best originals, and "Stormy Monday" is one of the few cuts ... see all copies from £5.36! new only from £5.36!
20 view cover	Down to the Rhythm (2005) more music like this by Harper Although harmonica whiz Peter Harper has released some half-dozen albums from his native Australia, this is his first on the Blind Pig imprint, and also the first time the label has put out an album by a blues artist from outside the U.S. Harper is a crack harp player, and he plays the instrument with both speed and efficiency, blasting into his ... see all copies from £4.03! new only from £12.17!
21 view cover	Come on in This House (1997) more music like this by Junior Wells 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 £12.03! new only from £12.03!

24 view cover	70th Birthday Concert (2003) more music like this by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers and Friends Though almost always well-intentioned, events like this usually don't pan out on record, let alone on DVD. Thankfully, this is not one of those occasions. John Mayall in his 70th Birthday Concert is as spry, ferocious, and on top of his game as ever. There is nothing tired about the presentation or the performances. Mayall's own umpteenth version ... see all copies from £7.92! new only from £8.34!
