This is an outstanding album. Amazing blend of voices that I wouldn't have imagined. Best buy for me this year.

2.O Brother, Where Art Thou? from: Buena Vista Pictures December 05, 2000

Bought this CD as USED but it looks and sounds as good as new. This music is haunting, beautiful, or charming...depending on the specific tune. This is really pre-country / bluegrass classical folk stuff. You will either understand its origins and love it, or think it is stupid.

4.Hoodoo Man Blues by: Junior Wells June 10, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $13.49 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $11.99 You Save: $1.50 (11%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $6.50
There are fine reviews of this CD, some with historical background,. others, with an appreciative ear, most know better, esp. more than me. I would only suggust that Jr. Wells, Buddy Guy, Jack Myers, oughta try to get reparations from Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Siegal-Schwall Band, Electric Flag, and all other Chicago imitative blues bands.

5.Anthology Of American Folk Music (Edited By Harry Smith) by: Various Artists August 19, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $84.98 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $70.49 You Save: $14.49 (17%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $55.59
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 true folk music, passed down the generations and from that area, or from the motherland of the musicians, with the spirit of the New World. The vibes are palpable, varied, and intense. Lots of "mistakes", but so much feeling that missed notes only add to the experience. If you've ever liked any folk music at all, whether Leadbelly, the Seegers, the Carter family, early Dylan, or if you need to know where real country music comes from, this is your collection. Too many highlights to list. Beautiful ... Read More

6.Come on In by: R. L. Burnside August 25, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $16.98 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $13.99 You Save: $2.99 (18%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $8.49
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!

7.The Definitive Collection by: Muddy Waters May 23, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $13.98 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $9.97 You Save: $4.01 (29%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $9.48
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 Satisfied", this CD takes you through (most of) the highlights from the 1950s and 60s. "Hoochie Coochie Man", "I'm Ready", "I Just Wanna Make Love To You", "Mannish Boy", and "Got My Mojo Working" are here, of course, and in the original versions, too, but it's a shame that some slightly lesser known (but equally fine) singles like "I Love The Life I Live, I Live The Life I Love", "She's Nineteen Years Old" and "I Want To Be Loved" are missing. But there is certainly enough great music here to satisfy ... Read More

8.Lady Day: The Best of Billie Holiday by: Billie Holiday October 02, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $24.98 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $13.97 You Save: $11.01 (44%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $10.50
This is not a good demonstration of Billie Holliday. First, too many songs squeezed into each side. Sound not good. For me, it was a waste of money. One of her best is the Billie Holiday-Lester Young CD " a musical romance"

9.We'll Never Turn Back by: Mavis Staples April 24, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $17.98 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $13.99 You Save: $3.99 (22%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $5.49
I confess, I was never part of the civil rights movement, but Mavis gives us a living, breathing account of those times. This album perfectly conveys that message. But I think what so defines this music is that the themes are so universal. Injustice, prejudice, bigotry is wrong, whether you are living in Mississippi or in some other part of the world, we are all God's children and we must take a stand against it.

10.The Definitive Collection by: John Lee Hooker May 23, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $13.98 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $9.97 You Save: $4.01 (29%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $6.59
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 into the blues, pick this up.
