1	Our New Orleans: A Benefit Album for the Gulf Coast (2005) more music like this by Various Artists Several benefit albums have been released in the wake of Hurricane Katrina's landfall in New Orleans on August 29, 2005, and most -- if not all -- of them have been fine and well-intentioned affairs, full of the spirited and lively music that has long made the Crescent City special. Each of these collections has merit, but if you can only afford ... see all copies from £4.38! new only from £12.89!
2	Grant Street (2005) more music like this by Sonny Landreth see all copies from £11.80! new only from £11.80!
3	Dreams Come True (1990) more music like this by Lou Ann Barton Dreams Come True is an all-star session by vocalists Marcia Ball, Lou Ann Barton and Angela Strehli. The three women sing with a band led by Dr. John and the session features guest appearances by such luminaries as David "Fathead" Newman and Jimmie Vaughan. The music is straight out of the Texas school of roadhouse R&B and blues boogie but it's ... see all copies from £6.26! new only from £47.30!
4	Louisiana Spice (1995) more music like this by Various Artists This CD is a delight for a DJ or party host wanting to serve up a gumbo of Louisiana music. Aptly titled Louisiana Spice, the two-volume set features musical artists from a variety of genres, from R&B to zydeco. The selections are guaranteed to raise the spirits of listeners. Those so inclined will be out on the dancefloor for tunes such as "That ... see all copies from £6.95! new only from £9.09!
5	Nice & Warm (1992) more music like this by Tab Benoit Tab Benoit's debut album Nice & Warm is a startingly fresh debut. The guitarist has a gutsy, fuel-injected style that adds real spice to his swampy blues. Benoit draws equally from the Louisiana and Texas traditions and Nice & Warm proves it; not only does he carry on the tradition, he offers a fresh take on it as well. Thom Owens, All Music ... see all copies from £4.51! new only from £11.96!
6	Presumed Innocent (2001) more music like this by Marcia Ball Those looking for blues, R&B, rootsy rock & roll, gospel-tinged ballads, loungy supper club jazz, and boogie-woogie piano pounding all led by an instantly recognizable powerhouse voice infused with gritty soul will rejoice with Marcia Ball. Although this is only her sixth album since her career shifted into high gear with 1984's Soulful Dress, ... see all copies from £4.15! new only from £11.85!
7	After the Rain (2006) more music like this by Irma Thomas A rumor circulated after Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast at the close of summer in 2005 that Louisiana soul great Irma Thomas was one of the missing. The rumor, fortunately, turned out to be false -- she was gigging at the time in Austin -- but Thomas' New Orleans home was completely destroyed. The shadow of Katrina hangs large over ... see all copies from £4.83! new only from £8.61!
8	Live: Swampland Jam (1997) more music like this by Tab Benoit This is by far the best album this Louisiana blues/swamp-rocker has come up with to date. Benoit is playing with basically a three-piece, with Doug Therrien on bass and Allyn Robinson on drums. The rest of the sound is filled in by various guests, some exceedingly strong Louisiana players. Therein lives both the problem and the strength of this ... see all copies from £5.68! new only from £11.82!
9	Power of the Pontchartrain (2007) more music like this by Tab Benoit Louisiana journeyman swamp rocker Tab Benoit has been churning out an album a year since at least 2002, and between them he stays on the road playing every festival, club, and bar that'll have him. It would seem inevitable that the quality of these studio recordings would decline. But, at least as of 2007's Power of the Pontchartrain, that isn't ... see all copies from £9.81! new only from £10.34!
10	Brother to the Blues (2006) more music like this by Tab Benoit/Billy Joe Shaver/Jim Lauderdale Tab Benoit has been doing his brand of bayou-fed blues-rock for some time now, and while it is tempting to call Brother to the Blues a departure, it is really only a subtle one, straying as it does to the country side of things, but again, only a little bit, and there is probably little-to-no-chance that Benoit will turn into a hat act with a big ... see all copies from £9.19! new only from £9.19!
11 view cover	Let Me Play with Your Poodle (1997) more music like this by Marcia Ball This album of snaky swamp rock is one of Ball's best recordings. Great choice of songs (she wrote 5 of the 13) that let her show all her talents, both vocally and instrumentally. Slow-tempo songs display the force of her voice, as in "I Still Love You," and another of the many gems, "For the Love of a Man." Meanwhile, the playfulness of the title ... see all copies from £4.60! new only from £9.19!
12 view cover	Two-Fisted Mama! (1990) more music like this by Katie Webster Another impressive showcase for Katie Webster's rollicking 88s and earthy vocals. Other than the Memphis Horns, no special guests this time -- just Webster and her tight trio (anchored by guitarist Vasti Jackson). Bill Dahl, All Music Guide see all copies from £6.27! new only from £12.25!
13 view cover	Best of the Bayou Blues (2006) more music like this by Tab Benoit Tab Benoit's funky, ragged blend of Louisiana swamp blues and East Texas guitar, with hints of funk, soul, and country thrown in to give the gumbo just the right spice, has served him well since he burst on the scene in the early '90s. Since Benoit hasn't essentially changed his sound since, this collection of sides made up largely from his early ... see all copies from £7.16! new only from £12.11!
14 view cover	Live! Down the Road (2005) more music like this by Marcia Ball Marcia Ball, born on the Texas/Louisiana border, has long been a superb live performer, delivering her swampy blend of zydeco, blues and gritty R&B with all the force of a Saturday night locomotive, and her many fans have been crying for a live album for years, and now, finally, she's delivered it. Recorded in September 2004 at the Sierra Nevada ... see all copies from £6.55! new only from £12.32!
15 view cover	The Swamp Boogie Queen (1988) more music like this by Katie Webster Lovable Katie Webster had some high-profile help for this impressive comeback album -- Bonnie Raitt shares the vocal on "Somebody's on Your Case" and plays guitar on "On the Run"; Kim Wilson duets with Webster for a cover of Johnnie Taylor's "Who's Making Love" (a track that Robert Cray contributes crisp guitar to). Throughout, Webster's vocals ... see all copies from £6.96! new only from £12.30!
16 view cover	The Road We're On (2003) more music like this by Sonny Landreth Following a few years after Levee Town, an album tightly focused on a specific place and time, Landreth dedicates The Road We're On to the more intangible magic of the blues. The music this time scans a vast panorama, from the Texas shuffle of "All About You" and zydeco pulse of "Gone Pecan" through the tub-thump beat of some Bayou dive on "Juke ... see all copies from £9.71! new only from £11.80!
17 view cover	Sing It! (1998) more music like this by Marcia Ball/Irma Thomas/Tracy Nelson As a matter of fact we are docking into past ports a bit here on this retro excursion into protofeminsit diva rock. Sing It! is a blessed event, too -- and a great excuse to visit New Orleans for this "summit meeting" of major minds and throats of three of the most formidable female voices on at least three musical maps today. Other triple threat ... see all copies from £5.22! new only from £9.19!
18 view cover	What I Live For (1994) more music like this by Tab Benoit What I Live For is a white-hot sophomore effort by Tab Benoit, showcasing a more assured and confident guitarist. Although he hasn't changed his basic musical approach -- it's all hard-driving Southern blues -- his sound is fuller and more direct this time around, proving that his debut was no fluke. Thom Owens, All Music Guide see all copies from £5.91! new only from £12.26!
19 view cover	Fever for the Bayou (2005) more music like this by Tab Benoit Tab Benoit's latest release on Telarc, Fever for the Bayou, continues in what has become Benoit's signature territory, a funky, ragged blend of Louisiana swamp blues and East Texas guitar, with hints of funk, soul, and country thrown in to give the gumbo just the right spice. If it sounds like a formula, well, Benoit's jagged guitar playing and ... see all copies from £11.62! new only from £11.62!
20 view cover	Blues from the Gutter (1958) more music like this by Champion Jack Dupree The 1958 masterwork album of Champion Jack Dupree's long and prolific career. Cut in New York (in stereo!) with a blasting band that included saxist Pete Brown and guitarist Larry Dale, the Jerry Wexler-produced Atlantic collection provides eloquent testimony to Dupree's eternal place in the New Orleans blues and barrelhouse firmament. There's ... see all copies from £5.31! new only from £9.32!
21 view cover	These Blues Are All Mine (1999) more music like this by Tab Benoit This is a strong statement by Tab Benoit announcing his true arrival; although he only wrote five of the 13 songs on this disc, he stakes a legitimate claim to all of them with some of his most inspired playing and singing ever. His backing group sounds great and keeps up with him over the entire disc. He is one of a handful of performers -- Tabby ... see all copies from £11.52! new only from £11.52!
22 view cover	The Excello Singles Anthology (2003) more music like this by Slim Harpo Slim Harpo brought a good bit of the Louisiana swamp vibe with him when he recorded these immortal singles for Jay Miller's Nashville-based Excello Records in the early '60s, and the rustic, laconic way these recordings unfold, aided and abetted by Miller's trademark echo-laden production, makes them singular even inside the Excello stable. This ... see all copies from £12.69! new only from £12.69!
23 view cover	Wish Someone Would Care/Take a Look (2006) more music like this by Irma Thomas This two-fer CD includes the pair of long-players that Irma Thomas issued during her brief yet significant stint on Imperial Records. When they were first released, 1964's Wish Someone Would Care and 1966's Take a Look didn't garner the attention they most certainly deserved. However, to modern ears they are reminders of just how influential ... see all copies from £9.23! new only from £9.23!
24 view cover	Superharps II (2001) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from £11.62! new only from £11.62!
25 view cover	Blue House (1994) more music like this by Marcia Ball Though purists may quibble about her interpretations of classic material, just about everyone acknowledges that Marcia Ball is one fine songwriter. Blue House contains eight gems of swamp boogie fusion delivered in Ball's supple, slinky voice. Listen to "The Facts of Life," a slow, sensual, worldly piece of Louisiana soul with an irresistible ... see all copies from £12.11! new only from £12.11!
