R & B = I'll suggest "Hi Times" which is a sampler from the box set of Hi Records' Soul and R & B box set. Anne Peebles, Al Green, Syl Johnson, and more on this. If you like what you hear, get the box set!

For Blues, I'll just suggest one of my favorite west coast style records, "Greasy Kid Stuff" by Kid Ramos. Here's the title track:
