Top 10 blues

	Hope Radio by Ronnie Earl and the Broadcasters Ronnie Earl is as good a blues guitarist as I have ever heard. Hope Radio is a return to the instrumental format that is all Ronnie. If you especially enjoy slow extended moving blues jams that touch you to the core, you'll love this album.
	The Wheel Man by Watermelon Slim This Oklahoma City singer and slide guitarist is at the creative apex of traditional blues. He took the roundabout route to get there--fighting in the jungles of Vietnam.  Watermelon Slim and his band, The Workers, are truly the real deal. These guys play blues, rock, and shuffles like they were born to do it. Not a bad song on this disc. No slick production, just a great band playing great music.
	The Duke Meets the Earl by Ronnie Earl & Duke Robillard Two of blues guitar's hottest pistols stretch their flair for dynamics and brilliant, unhurried, lyrical playing to its limit.
	About Them Shoes by Hubert Sumlin Sumlin's string sliding, deep tone, dizzy vibrato, acrobatic note bending, and tense, wily phrasing still sound as entirely original and vigorous as they did nearly a half-century ago.
	Think of Me by Little Milton The last recording by the elder statesman of soul-blues was his toughest performance in years, discarding the lavish production that blues purists often felt drowned his substantial talent.
	Son Of Skip James by Dion The legendary voice behind such iconic classics as "The Wanderer", "Runaround Sue" and "Abraham, Martin & John", returns with a stunning follow up to Bronx in Blue his 2006 GRAMMY® nominee for Best Traditional Blues Album! Son of Skip James pays tribute to the works of seminal artists from both blues (Robert Johnson, Skip James, Willie Dixon, etc.) and rock (Chuck Berry, Bob Dylan) plus new Dion originals including the arresting title track.
	Hope and Desire by Susan Tedeschi; The sweet, husky mix of sugar and sandpaper in the two-time Grammy nominee's voice breathes sultry life into the art of classic soul singing.
	Bring 'Em In by Buddy Guy Guy hasn't cut this many classics in a while, but he channels enough raw, emotional sensitivity to make the oldies sound like they're pumping fresh blood.
	Sessions For Robert J. (CD + DVD) by Eric Clapton The performances in this visual postscript to "Me & Mr. Johnson" ring with passion and virtuosity as the camera follows the guitar legend in preparation for his 2004 tour.
	Royal Albert Hall: London 2-3-5-6 2005 by Cream After 37 years' absence, Cream reformed in May 2005 for a series of concerts at London's Royal Albert Hall. Bruce's vocals still soar, Clapton sounds energized, and Baker still dazzles.
