Price: $11.99
Customer Review:
This really is a great record. Like another reviewer said, it gets better with every listen. Great albums are usually like that, the more you play them the better they get.
This bluesy, twangy, folksy, swampy.......all in the right places. The production enhances the music too instead of... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

by B.B. King
Price: $12.99
Customer Review:
What a wonderful late career tour d'force. So good to hear the King on songs he hasn't recorded before, supported by world beating production from T Bone Burnett and magnificent players like Dr John and Jim Kelter. Nathan East's acoustic bass is a special stand out.
This record is just a gem,... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
It was time to show to the youngs where are the roots of their music and for some older from where does the Rock 'n' Roll come from. This his a good picture of an important part of the music of the 50's and 60's. Chess contribution was great and with the help of Willie Dixon, Muddy Waters, Little... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I love Buddy's work - and this album reflects the maturity I love in the great blues players. This album has all the right stuff - edgy rocky blues to classically styled tunes. The guest is list includes Eric Clapton and Robert Randolph - like having three generations of blues on one album. Buy it,... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from MUSIC VIDEO DIST.
Price: $13.99
Customer Review:
Well some of us remember Johnny Winter when he came out as a "bonus baby" (one of the highest paid artists at the time- not really appropriate for a "bluesman") on his initial Columbia Records debut. This record was fantastic, but it was at the end of the "blues boom" of the 1960s. Winter went on to... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

I had heard an review on National Public Radio and since my husband is a big blues fan, I thought I'd try it. This was a wonderful surprise! We love the CD and would recommend it to anyone - whether they are a major blues fan or not. | 5.0 / 5.0

by Little Walter
Price: $8.99
Customer Review:
Picture yourself in a crowded juke joint or blues bar on the southside of Chicago in the late '40's. Muddy Waters is about to play. He's already gone electric; I mean, he had to, to be heard over all the talking and yelling and what not. His harp player has about blown out a lung trying to be heard... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

| 9. |  | The Definitive Collection
by Muddy Waters
Price: $10.97
Customer Review:
There is a huge amount of Muddy Waters-compilations out there, and while MCA/Chess's two-disc, 50-track "Anthology 1947-1972" is certainly more definitive than this Geffen compilation, it does offer a very good overview of Muddy Waters' career.
Opening with the classic 1948 single "I Can't Be... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

from Sony
Price: $13.99
Customer Review:
I read somewhere once that if you really want a composite of what Stevie Ray Vaughan was all about, musically, all you need is this DVD. I totally agree. I have a half dozen SRV discs or tapes but nothing tops this.
You get two concerts, one on each disc. The first is the "controversial" 1982... more info | 5.0 / 5.0
