Luther Allison —
Luther's Blues (with bonus tracks) ... CD Motown/Universal, 1974. Used ... Just Sold Out!
One of the only blues records you'll ever find on Motown – and a mostly straight blues affair with a hard electric sound to it. The album's mostly in the early Alligator Records camp – but there's a few nice funky cuts, like "Now You Got It" and "Into My Life", ... read more CD

Savoy, Mid 50s/1986. Used ... $3.99
A mid 80s collection that brings together 14 of Maybelle's classic 50s recordings for the Savoy label – issued certainly as a way to keep her perennial favorite "Candy" in print! The album starts off with that familiar track, then moves into a number of tunes that have a Ruth Brown ... (Soul, Blues) read more CD

Duke/MCA, Early 60s. Used ... $4.99
An incredible record from Bobby Blue Bland – and quite possibly the greatest one he ever made! The set's got an amazing something special that's unlike most other material of the time – a bit blues, but a lot of soul too – still with some echoes of R&B in the jazzier charts ... read more CD

Jazz Line (Germany), 1976. New Copy ... $15.99
The Crescent City legend is captured here in a small club in Germany during the 70s – but James Booker is playing solo, with a style that's very close to his best New Orleans roots! The double-length set just features Booker on piano and a bit of vocals – recorded beautifully, and in ... (Soul, Blues) read more CD

Lonnie Brooks —
Sweet Home Chicago ... CD Evidence, 1975. Used ... $7.99

Fire, Late 50s. Used ... $7.99
Early bluesy soul from Buster Brown – in the fierce tradition of Fire Records. Tracks include "When Things Go Wrong", "Madison Shuffle", "John Henry", "Sincerely", and "I'm Goin, But I'll Be Back". CD
(Out of print, small cutout notch through spine.)
Impulse, 1967. Used ... $14.99
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 ...

Fierce work from Toronzo Cannon – an artist who's definitely determined to carve a path for the next generation of Chicago blues!

Chess/Elemental (Spain), 1965. New Copy ... $9.99
A mid-60s smoker from the great Bo Diddley – a set that's maybe more obscure than some of his initial classics, but equally great! Bo's completely on fire right from the start – fast-riffing his guitar with that rhythm he invented, and which bore his name for decades to come – ... read more CD

Bear Family (Germany), 1950s. New Copy ... $11.99 22.99
The title certainly gets it right – because although Champion Jack Dupree recorded some rootsier blues in his time, the music here is all pretty upbeat and rocking – and includes a fair bit of unissued titles recorded for RCA's Groove and Vik labels in the 50s! The set begins with a ... read more CD

Bongo Joe (UK), Late 70s/Early 80s. New Copy ... $9.99
Not the kind of calypso that was issued by the big American labels in the 50s – and instead, sounds that have a sound, style, and overall approach that's maybe a lot more similar to American blues from the rural scene! The tracks here are all pulled from the personal archive of Walter Gavitt ... (Global Grooves, Blues) read more CD

Kent/Ace (UK), Late 60s. New Copy ... $8.99 18.99
Funky blues from the great Lowell Fulsom! Lowell's best known to the world for his classic "Tramp", a tight funky number that virtually created a whole subgenre of soul, as Otis Redding and Joe Tex were quick to cut answer records to cash in on the action. Nobody could beat Lowell's ... read more CD

Vee Jay/Chameleon, 1961. Used ... $8.99
Hardly a folk album, despite the title – and instead a wicked batch of raw bluesy numbers from the mighty John Lee Hooker!

Chess/MCA, 1970. Used 2 CDs ... $11.99
A famous date that showcases the Chess Records influence on the sound of the Brit rock scene – one that has a number of key players "giving back" to the label, and working on a special date with Howlin Wolf! Wolf's rough vocals are in the lead on all tracks, and he also plays a bit ... read more CD
