48. THE COMPLETE RECORDINGS (CENTENNIAL COLLECTION) by Robert Johnson

48. THE COMPLETE RECORDINGS (CENTENNIAL COLLECTION) by Robert Johnson

This is where it all began. Two days, two cities, 29 songs and 13 alternate takes. Just a man and his guitar. Whether you subscribe to the notion that most (all?) modern music has its roots in the blues, one thing is undeniable - Robert Johnson and his 29 songs

45. NEW YORK CITY by The Peter Malick Group (feat. Norah Jones)

45. NEW YORK CITY by The Peter Malick Group (feat. Norah Jones)

The year is 2000 and Norah Jones, daughter of Indian classical music maestro Ravi Shankar, wouldn’t release her smash debut album for another year and a half. So, what was she doing? Well, she was recording this album with bluesman Peter Malick and his band, though the record wasn’

44. CAGE THE ELEPHANT (self-titled)

44. CAGE THE ELEPHANT (self-titled)

Kentucky’s Cage the Elephant announce themselves within the first few notes of their 2008/2009 debut record and then keep their foot on the gas for the next 40 minutes or so. Alternatively described as alt rock, punk blues and funk, lead singer Matt Shultz and his brother, rhythm

This 1980 album came out a little less than 2 years prior to their commercial smash, ‘Freeze-Frame,’ and foreshadowed the direction the band was heading in. It’s hard to believe that ‘Love Stinks’ was actually their 9th studio album - the J. Geils Band had been grinding since the

26. ICKY THUMP by The White Stripes

26. ICKY THUMP by The White Stripes

It’s hard to believe that exactly 8 years to the day passed between the White Stripes’ first album and their last album, ‘Icky Thump.’ In between, Jack and Meg White produced an incredible mix of garage rock and bluesy tunes, finally deciding to burn out than fade away, to

18. BOUND TO MEET THE DEVIL by Julie Rhodes

18. BOUND TO MEET THE DEVIL by Julie Rhodes

Any fan of the blues will appreciate this record from 2016, not for some grand guitar work or tight rhythm section (though those are there without a doubt), but for the voice that is Julie Rhodes. Turns out that a couple of years before this album came out, Rhodes was
