Bobby Bland —
Get On Down With Bobby Bland ... LP ABC, 1975. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
Brilliant later work by Bobby Blue Bland – done with backings that are much fuller than on his earlier albums – a mixture of strings and horns that really expand the sound! That doesn't keep things from being soulful, though – as Bobby's in incredible form vocally, really rising ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear and a small corner cut.)
Malaco, 1985. Near Mint- ... $6.99
A later gem from Bobby Blue Bland – done in a smooth style that fits the later approach of the Malaco label, but with a vocal style that hasn't dimmed a bit over the years! Bobby's still got that incredible rasp in his voice – that approach that easily made him one of the most soulful ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

ABC, 1977. Very Good+ ... $4.99
A bit of a shift for Bobby Blue Bland – a record that picks up some slight touches of the disco generation, thanks to arrangements by Michael Omartin – but a record that, thanks to Bobby's fantastic vocals, still really stands out from the pack! The shift is a bit like the one that ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Bobby Blue Bland —
His California Album ... LP ABC, 1973. Very Good+ ... $9.99
A nice little record from Bobby Blue Bland – quite different from his 60s sides for Duke/Peacock, and recorded in California (as you might guess from the title!) with a smoother more soulful approach that comes off surprisingly well! The style works well for Bobby – and kind of gave ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Impulse, 1967. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $27.99 29.99
One of the funkiest records ever recorded for Impulse – and the debut set by guitarist Mel Brown! Mel has a really down-and-dirty style that's quite unusual for the label at the time – a rootsy approach to guitar that's steeped in equal parts jazz, soul, and R&B – and which ...

Imperial, Late 60s. Near Mint- ... $24.99
Damn great work from Albert Collins – one of those hard-edged gems from the early days that's a lot more funk than his later blues! Sure, there's still plenty of blues here – but the rhythms are pretty funky too, and the album's got some great raw production from Bill Hall – free ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Oldie Blues (Netherlands), Late 40s. Near Mint- ... $14.99

Have guitar, will travel – and back in the day, Bo Diddley was going pretty darn far with great material like this!

Chess, Late 50s. Near Mint- ... $9.99
Raw, ragged, rough, and ready – killer early work by Bo Diddley, clearly in a class by itself! The Bo Diddley groove isn't blues, isn't soul, and isn't R&B – it's instead a mad blend of rhythm, scratchy guitar, and spontaneously playful vocals that few other singers could ever hope ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Yet despite that placement, the style is nicely down home – a strong recreation of ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Buddy Guy —
Man & The Blues (180 gram pressing) ... LP Vanguard/Craft, 1968. New Copy (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
We love our Buddy Guy here in Chicago – and this set cut for Vanguard, one of his first full solo albums with his own band will always be a favorite! Buddy's late 60s sound was as charismatic as he'd always be, but there's an understated approach to his lead that's really wonderful, and hits ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Fat Possum/Big Legal Mess, 1989. New Copy ... $13.99 18.99
Jessie Mae Hemphill might look like an 80s blues artist on the cover, but the record's got a much more vintage vibe – as the set features field recordings done on New Years Eve in 1989, with Jessie Mae singing in a style that seems geared to ring in the year with the ghosts of the past!

Vee Jay, 1961. Very Good ... $34.99
Hardly a folk album, despite the title – and instead a wicked batch of raw bluesy numbers from the mighty John Lee Hooker! Two of the album's tracks were recorded live at the Newport Folk Fest, but the rest were done back in Chicago – with lots of gritty vocals and guitar from Hooker, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Impulse/Elemental, 1965. New Copy (reissue)... $31.99 35.99
There's no suffering here – as the record's a real delight, and one of the more unique sessions in the career of the great John Lee Hooker! The record was done for Impulse Records, mostly known for its jazz recordings at the time – and the session has the vocals and guitar of John Lee ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Verve/BMG, 1965. New Copy (reissue)... $22.99 24.99
A really great, but very unusual John Lee Hooker album – one that was recorded in London with backing from later blues rock heroes The Groundhogs – a group who do a really great job here of hanging back, and letting Hook really take the lead! All those raw, gritty charms of Hooker's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Sittin Here Thinkin ... LP Muse/Happy Bird (Germany), Late 50s. Near Mint- ... $18.99
Great gritty sides from the mighty John Lee Hooker – material with a slightly obscure origin, but recorded in the late 50s, right in a stretch when he was cutting some of his classics! Hooker's guitar and vocals are center stage – both growling with a hell of a lot of soulful power ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Funky blues work from Howlin Wolf – his key entry into the funked-up genre that Chess Records was cutting at the end of the 60s with other blues artists like Etta James, Bo Diddley, and Muddy Waters! As on records with those artists, Wolf's older modes are updated here for a hipper, younger ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Howlin Wolf —
Moanin In The Moonlight ... LP Chess, 1959. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
Classic raspy vocals from the legendary Howlin Wolf – singing here in a way that definitely lives up to his nickname!

An amazing step forward for the young Etta James – a singer who was delivering a raw, shouting form of R&B just a few years before – but who here ascends into soul music heaven with her famous work on the album!

Albert King —
Born Under A Bad Sign (180 gram pressing) ... LP Stax/Craft, 1967. New Copy (reissue)... $26.99 28.99
One of THE electric blues records of the 60s – a seminal set by Albert King that was probably blasted out of more college dorm rooms than southside juke joints, but which still more than deserves its due! The set was recorded by Stax with a nice raw sound – guitar very much upfront, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

BB King in London – not playing live, but working in the studio with a host of British musicians he'd inspired over the years!

ABC, 1972. Near Mint- ... $14.99 19.99
BB King's collapsed here on the beach in California – and maybe that's because he gave so much energy to the session – which is a lot more full than some of his previous work from the 60s!

Midnight Believer ... LP ABC, 1978. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
One of the most tightly-produced of BB King's albums for MCA, but a set that's still filled with undeniable charm – and which really shows King more than able to step up to some well-deserved superstardom! There's a bit of an LA finish to the backings, but things are never too smooth – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Yellow label pressing. Includes the printed inner sleeve.)
MCA, 1979. Very Good+ ... $16.99
A great late 70s set from BB King – a record that really echoes that mix of jazz and blues that he first had when coming out of the Memphis scene – but in a style that's very different than his initial recordings!

(Cover has a tiny bit of laminate peeling, but is nice overall.)
Stax, 1973. Very Good+ ... $9.99
No waiting here – as Little Milton's guitar is plenty sweet throughout – making the album a key cooker from his classic years on Stax!

A definite diary of this unique British combo of the 60s – and a set that's arguably one of the band's bluesiest to date!

Atlantic, 1972. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $14.99
Wild electric work from Les McCann – an album of free, open sounds that's quite a change from his styles of the 60s – and from most of his other work of the 70s too!

Mercury, 1968. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $11.99 14.99
Fantastic early work from Mother Earth – one of those special late 60s groups who emerged out of the rock, folk, and blues scenes – but who somehow managed to make a very special sound of their own!

One of the better albums on the Alligator Records label from Chicago – a set by Fenton Robinson that's not far different from his earlier work on the 77/Sound Stage Seven label – which means that there's more of a southern soul vibe to the record at times than some of the more crowd-plea ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
