If you're located near a music store called "Hear Music", I'd recommend stopping by. Perhaps, search one out for future travels. They have an outstanding system of exhibiting music. They have many, many listening stations as well as a listening bar for any CD in the store. They're great with acoustic blues, electric blues, jazz, and world music. They also showcase unusual and unknown recording artists. They're proprietary compilation CD's are fantastic. Check them out if you can. Be prepared to spend a few hours there. No, I don't work for them. I was a regular patron at their Santa Monica store in L.A. They far surpass any chain store such as Virgin, Tower, or even Amoeba. I moved to N.Y. a few weeks ago and miss them dearly.
