✨✧ Willie DixonI Am The Blues ... LP
Columbia, 1970. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
A long-overdue recognition of the blues contributions of Willie Dixon – a set that pulls him out of the indie ghetto and pushes him firmly into the mainstream with this key release on Columbia Records!

✨✧ Son HouseLegendary Son House Father Of Folk Blues ... LP
Columbia, 1965. Very Good- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A great return to recording for Son House – a musician who'd stopped playing the guitar in the postwar years, but rose again to fame during the great folk blues revival of the 60s!

✨✧ Alberta HunterRemember My Name ... LP
Columbia, 1978. Sealed ... Out Of Stock
Great later work from vocalist Alberta Hunter – a really well-recorded 70s session that was also done as a soundtrack – but which stands beautifully on its own!

✨✧ Taj MahalHappy Just To Be Like I Am ... LP
Columbia, 1971. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
One of Taj Mahal's first LPs of the 70s, and also one of his very best of the decade – if not THE best! Happy To Be Just Like I Am is one of the earlier records Taj cut in which he's really going all in with the diverse influences, including the Caribbean flourishes that so flavored his ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

✨✧ Taj MahalMo' Roots ... LP
Columbia, 1974. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
A well-titled album – given that Taj Mahal's music is always pretty darn rootsy – and this time around, he's also adding in a bit of Jamaican roots too, thanks to production help from Bob Marley and Aston Barrett of The Wailers! The pair help Taj out on a few numbers, mixing in some ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Taj MahalNatch'l Blues ... LP
Columbia, 1968. Near Mint- ... $19.99
A great title for this second set from Taj Mahal – because the sound here is even more stripped-down and natural than on his first LP! Taj turns in a lot more original tunes this time around – and is in wonderfully comfortable territory with his own lead lyrics, sung alongside his own ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

✨✧ Taj MahalRecycling The Blues & Other Stuff ... LP
Columbia, 1972. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
Hardly any "recycling" going on here – as Taj Mahal takes bluesy roots and turns them in a whole new direction for the 70s, evolving the music way past the level most other bluesmen were working in at the time! At some level, Mahal's style is far more rootsy than most early 70s ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(In the textured cover, with some staining & waviness on the bottom left corner.)

✨✧ Taj MahalTaj Mahal ... LP
Columbia, 1968. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
The first album in a mighty legendary run from Taj Mahal – one of the first generation of blues musicians to really learn to recast their sound for the younger crossover generation! By that, we don't mean that Taj is commercial at all – it's just that he's kind of reclaiming the blues ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

✨✧ Big MillerRevelations & The Blues ... LP
Columbia, Early 60s. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
One of a handful of compelling albums cut by singer Big Miller – an artist often billed as a blues singer, but who's more of a jazz artist overall – as you'll hear here in a very cool set that features Ben Webster and Plas Johnson on tenor, Gildon Maholes on piano, and Jim Hall on ...

Columbia, Late 50s. Very Good+ ... $5.99
Jimmy Rushing reprises a nice batch of blues classics from the 20s, all of which were sung by early recording artists like Bessie or Clara Smith.

Columbia, Late 50s. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
A killer album by Jimmy – and certainly one of his best later records! The album includes the amazing track "Russian Lullaby", done in a totally swinging jazz version with Ray Bryant, Buddy Tate, and Sir Charles Thompson on organ. The track's incredible, and still sends shivers ... (Vocalists, Blues) read more LP, Vinyl record album
