| 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. |  | 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... |

| 3. |  | The Complete Recordings by Robert Johnson Price: $22.99 Customer Review: Almost exactly seventy years ago, a man who was then known as Robert Johnson passed away. He was poisoned, presumably by a houseman/barkeep whose wife had been flirting with him on an August Evening. Around the same time, a king pin of the then small, homely music industry sent out a middle man to... |

| 4. |  | 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... |

| 5. |  | 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... |

| 6. |  | Black Snake Moan from New West Records Price: $13.99 Customer Review: I loved this movie so much and the soundtrack is amazing stuff. Samuel L. Jackson really brings it in the three songs he sings on the album, and all of the other songs are astounding, too. If you like the blues, get this album, if you've seen/liked the movie or not. It's worth it. |

| 7. |  | The Anthology: 1947-1972 by Muddy Waters Price: $26.99 Customer Review: Good stuff, but bigger, better Muddy in CHess Box 'cuz there's more of it. Compare and see that, basically, this plus more is on that collection. Editorial Reviews Amazon.com "Muddy Waters should need no introduction. Not only did he provide a name for the world's greatest rock... |

| 8. |  | 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'.... |

| 9. |  | Blue Yule: Christmas Blues and R&B Classics by Various Artists Price: $14.99 Customer Review: Score one more for Rhino. This label really does know how to find obscure cuts and bring them into standout various artist collections. The only gripe I could have is this disk sounds a bit monaural in a mix, but I'll still use it--it's fun to mix up a little blues with the typical sugary Christmas... |

| 11. |  | 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... |

| 12. |  | 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... |

| 13. |  | People Take Warning! Murder Ballads & Disaster Songs 1913-1938 by Various Artists Price: $46.99 Customer Review: When I drive down the road in my 2006 Honda Accord and have this collection playing on my six changer cd player I feel like it's 1922 in Alabama and I'm in my Ford jalopy listening to some great radio station from the past. These songs not only tell stories of the past they make you feel for people... |

| 15. |  | The American Folk Blues Festival 1962-1969, Vol. 3 from Hip-O Records Price: $14.97 Customer Review: I'v been avoiding writing a review about these dvd's (American Folk & blues festival vol 1, Vol 2, vol 3,) for a while now, mainly because I get so emotional when I think about them. So I wont even try. But I will say this much....The ONLY place in the world where you can see the fabulous T-Bone... |

| 16. |  | Folk Singer by Muddy Waters Price: $7.97 Customer Review: This is one of my alltime favorite blues albums. It is an acoustic album and Muddy shines in this format. The only thing I didn't care for on this version were the five bonus tracks. They just don't fit the vibe of the original version. On the other hand, it's some additional Muddy Waters for no... |

| 17. |  | Come on In by R. L. Burnside Price: $14.99 Customer Review: The Eelectric Blues never sounded so good. R.L. Burnside is very talented and Tract 3 "Let my Baby Ride" is one of my frvorite songs EVER. This album was produced, engineered and mixed by Tom Rothrock and I enjoyed it all the way through. This is an excelent album! |

| 19. |  | A Meeting by the River by Ry Cooder & V.M. Bhatt Price: $18.49 Customer Review: I love the easy flow and ambience of the fine playing here. Never has Cooder sounded better to my ear than on this one. And Bhatt is magnificent. I've been listening to this session for over ten years and still have it close, ready-to-hand, in my truck console. |

| 20. |  | Hard Again by Muddy Waters Price: $8.99 Customer Review: Not much new I can say about a classic, but I will say that it's very rare anymore to listen to a band and say to yourself, "Hey, these guys sound like they're having a real good time". In a world dominated by plastic sounding music(Plastic People! Oh, baby now you're such a draaaaaag! Sorry about... |
