| 1. |  | Raising Sand from Rounder 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... |

| 2. |  | Fender Presents: Getting Started on Acoustic Guitar -- A Guide for Beginners from Hal Leonard Price: $19.99 Customer Review:  This is a good starting point for an adult beginner which I am, tried to learn as a teenager but had little or no staying power then. The only problem with the DVD is I find it difficult to navigate through the thing which is frustrating and confusing. Have only gone through the Power chords, ADE... |

| 3. |  | Maestro by Taj Mahal Price: $9.99 Customer Review: Taj Mahal's cd Maestro is the best! Very bluesy. His band is awesome. I actually don't get tired of listening to him in my car. Some songs are very easy listening. Sort of background music. |

| 4. |  | Missundaztood by Pink Price: $9.97 Customer Review: "Missundaztood" is a good album by powerful singer Pink. Includes "Don't Let Me Get Me", "Respect" and "Eventually". Pink ("Stupid Girl") has become involved in the 2008 Presidential Race. Interestingly, in the 2008 Presidential Primary race, New York Senator Hillary Clinton earned more Votes than... |

| 5. |  | Astral Weeks by Van Morrison Price: $8.97 Customer Review: After listening to this album for the gazillionth time the other night, it occurred to me that if I had to pick just one album to take to the grave this would be it. While I love much of VM's music, for me Astral Works is only approached by the almost-as-wonderful Veedon Fleece. I'm not going... |

| 6. |  | 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... |

| 7. |  | 10 Days Out (Blues from the Backroads)/ (CD/DVD) by Kenny Wayne Shepherd Price: $22.99 Customer Review: This is a really excellent CD/DVD for anyone who loves the blues! Well worth the money. |

| 8. |  | Anthology Of American Folk Music (Edited By Harry Smith) by Various Artists Price: $76.49 Customer Review: There are some truly haunting performances here, and some funny ones, and some of everything, really. This stuff is so far deeper and weirder and spookier than any folk I've ever heard. It's the motherlode; Harry Smith wandered around and got these recordings before radio started, and thus we get... |

| 9. |  | The Definitive Collection by John Lee Hooker Price: $10.97 Customer Review: I was pretty J L Hooker stupid when I bought this. I only bought it to have a copy of 'Boom Boom'. But this is pretty good stuff. The guy who is mainly into hard rock and heavy metal is finding this very good. There are a lot of good songs encompassing his career. If you are just beginning to delve... |

| 10. |  | Live in Concert "by me" Ethan Bortnick from Savor Records Price: $13.99 Customer Review: This concert by Ethan Bortnik is most entertaining. His talent on the piano as well as his originality in composition is quite mpressive. His rendition of a few pieces by Bach and Mozart is also impressive. I will play this CD for a long time. |

| 11. |  | Eric Clapton - Unplugged from Reprise / Wea Price: $14.99 Customer Review: I happen to like Blues and especially when a master guitarist like Eric picks up an acoustic guitar and slows everything down to almost ballad tempo. He gently allows the blues in his life to come forth as beautiful music that eveyone can appreciate. |

| 12. |  | The Original Delta Blues by Son House Price: $6.99 Customer Review: For all those pursuing deep blues this is essential listening. Sound quality is excellent. Guitar playing is rough and ready by modern technical standards, but hey - that's the way it is - all feel. Vocals are stunning. Great to hear his homage to Patton's 'Moon going down' -'Empire State Express'.... |

| 13. |  | Keb' Mo' by Keb' Mo' Price: $10.99 Customer Review: This reviewer has spent much ink in this space over the past year or so touting various old time country blues singers like Bukka White, Skip James and, of course, Son House. I have noted that their music reflected the rural southern, mainly Mississippi Delta. plantation life of hard toil (picking... |

| 14. |  | Dona Got a Ramblin Mind by Carolina Chocolate Drops Price: $13.99 Customer Review: Having seen this talented group, I was eagerly awaiting this CD to arrive in the mail. Unfortunately, the recording quality is, to my ear, poor. It has a flat somewhat muffled sound, making it sound like it came from a do-it-yourself garage studio. Maybe that was done on purpose? The vibrancy of... |

| 15. |  | Avalon Blues: The Complete 1928 Okeh Recordings by Mississippi John Hurt Price: $6.99 Customer Review: If you've never heard Mississippi John Hurt and have any interest in what's generally called "country blues", please buy this record. If you've listened to Robert Johnson, Son House, Skip James, or any of the other "delta" stylists and not cared for the style, try John Hurt. His style is actually... |

| 17. |  | Suitcase by Keb' Mo' Price: $15.98 Customer Review: Keb is a talented musician with a beautiful voice and solid poetic compositional skills. Very much appreciated that he participated in the Vote For Change tour in '04, and thought that he, Bonnie and Jackson Browne were one hell of a trio. |

| 18. |  | Essence by Lucinda Williams Price: $9.97 Customer Review: I saw Lucinda at Bumerbershoot in Seattle this summer. It was at Memorial Stadium, which is a bad place for live music (accoustically), but the song Essence just blew me away. Quickly it has become my summer of '08 theme song. I'm an old fart, and I like every kind of music, but she seems to have... |

One can trace the evolution of blues from its raw beginnings to its more contemporary... |

| 20. |  | Recapturing the Banjo by Otis Taylor Price: $11.97 Customer Review: Man. Between Mavis Staples's new Ry Cooder produced album and this new piece of awe-inspiring artistry from Otis Taylor and friends, I'm just not sure which album lands in my top spot for the past year. But it has been an amazing year for Roots Music. Buy this. You won't regret it. Even... |
