John Earl Walker - Come Over Here! (2008)
| Quote: | Guitarist, lyricist, and vocalist John Earl Walker became enamored with the blues at age 13, after being exposed to records by legendary guitarists of the genre such as Albert King, Magic Sam, T-Bone Walker, and Freddie King. By his 16th birthday, Walker had already begun playing guitar at local events and in clubs whenever possible. In 1967 he formed the blues-rock band the Plastic People, which included bassist Pete Harris and guitarist Joey Tremelo. Three years later Plastic People changed their name to Creedemore State, then to Plum Nelly when they signed with Capitol Records in 70 and recorded one album for them in '71, they gained national exposure opening shows for B.B. King, Muddy Waters, Alice Cooper, and Iggy Pop, to name just a few. The Plum Nelly lp is now a very rare and sought after collectors item! Following the breakup of Plum Nelly in 1976, Walker formed the first of several incarnations of the John Earl Walker Band. Walker then released his debut CD, I'm Leavin' You, in 2002, followed by Little Miss Perfect and People Are Talkin' two years later. All three discs are available on the New York-based Walkright Records label. John Earl Walker's band consists of veteran players who are gaining world-wide acceptance playing festivals, and through extensive internet, and terrestial radio airplay. John toured Australia in 2006, playing with many of the top players down under. John Earl Walker, and Peter Harris were both original members of Capitol Records recording artists Plum Nelly.
Range of styles from rockin' swingin' blues, to slow smokin' electric blues, to funky heavy guitar grooves with great lyrics and stories in the songs, two killer instrumentals, and a lot of classic guitar riffs played by one of the original masters. |

Deeper Blues - Dig The Hole (2008)
| Quote: | Deeper Blues is a Power Blues trio that sounds like nothing you've heard before. Bassist/vocalist Lane Baldwin and guitarist Gary Jones - along with Gary's son James on drums - have combined the best of traditional Blues with a vast array of musical influences gained in one hundred years of combined experience.
What makes Deeper Blues different? Deeper meaning in the songs. Deeper emotion in the delivery. This is Blues the way it was mean to be felt. Darn right it hurts, and it's made more than one man cry. But, oh, the redemption...
For decades, Lane has had the pleasure to work with, and learn from, the prior generation. "One thing that came back around time and time again," Lane says, "is that Blues began as a means of not only releasing one's pain, but sharing that experience with others. The benefits of this are enormous, both to the individuals and to the community. Our goal is to bring that back to the Blues, to once again take them Deeper, to the very center of your heart and soul." |

Jimmy Agren - Various Phobias (2008)
| Quote: | Jimmy Agren, a young dude from the Land of the Midnight Sun, come to teach us a thing or two about American music and one of its great fallen leaders.
Agren has a fascination for taking standard blues rhythms and allowing them to mutate into something more akin to avant garde composers, all while still writing songs with a strong melodic flair that even the most mainstream listener would be hard-pressed to resist.The tracks, are fantastic and make you scratch your head and ask one more time, “Are you sure this guy’s from Sweden? Damn, I thought he had to from down on the Delta, or down from Louisiana way.”
”Jimmy plays with a adrenaline level that would turn even the black blues guys white of fear.
Angus Young would probably not mind having some of Jimmy’s riffs too
Mutated Blues rock with slide guitars and backwards rhythm.

Big Dave McLean - Acoustic Blues: Got 'Em From The Bottom (2008)
| Quote: | Big Dave McLean is finally getting his recognition, at an age when the rest of us are getting around to contemplating retirement. Only in the last decade or so has there been significant inroads into recording this definitive Canadian bluesman.
A masterful guitarist and top notch harpist, McLean’s raw and gravelly vocals bespeak of a life lived to the fullest, and a career spent performing in and around those countless small towns that dot the Canadian prairies. When it comes to the blues, however, McLean’s heart firmly beats to the ghosts of the delta greats--especially the incomparable Muddy Waters, with whom he toured over two decades ago. Just how important the Mojo Man was to the development of Big Dave can be gleaned in an 11-minute tribute, aptly titled ‘Muddy Waters for President’. Actually written for the dean of Chicago bluesmen, Muddy died before getting around to recording it.
McLean’s stage performances also identify him as one of the top bluesmen in Canada and what he knows about the business came to him from blues legends John Hammond Jr. and Muddy Waters. He started out on harmonica in the early '60s and had his first guitar lesson from John Hammond at the Mariposa Folk Festival in 1969. Hammond and Muddy Waters became Dave's lifelong musical heroes and friends. What did he learn from the masters? "Well you gotta be courteous," says McLean. "You know, Muddy Waters told me you can have the best guys in the world in your band, and if they gotta go, if they want to branch out and do their own thing, you’re not gonna stop them from doing what they’re destined to do. You might as well aid them along, help them out. And John (Hammond) was much the same, one of the most courteous gentlemen on this planet, you know, totally helpful, inspiring. You know both of them were just wonderful, wonderful men. I’m so pleased that I had the opportunity to even meet them."
Years later, Colin James - certainly one of the best-known Canadian blues artists there is - put himself into the picture.
'Dave McLean has been stalwartly keeping up the blues tradition for years,' says James. 'I first heard him when I was nine, and he blew me away then, and he still does today. He's one of the great undiscovered bluesmen, and people ought to hear him.' As good as his word, James took McLean into his home studio in North Vancouver, called up a bunch of players who have worked with both artists, and cut a record together in three days.
Said Colin: 'Dave has spent his whole life dedicated to the music, and what you hear is pretty well what happened. Everyone who got involved had a ball, and everybody can hear what a good time we all had. Dave is a singer and player that just makes everyone want to do their best.'

Notes: Known for his ragged yet virtuosic slide guitar technique and growling, Howlin' Wolf-inspired vocals, Big Dave McLean has always reminded listeners of the blues' down-home roots. With ACOUSTIC BLUES, McLean once again draws the listener into a forgotten world of dirt roads, juke joints, and creaky back porches, wailing and moaning like a man possessed. McLean even manages to work his mojo on the over-recorded standard "Good Morning Little School Girl," focusing in on the song's decidedly sleazy underpinnings. |

Dion DiMucci - Bronx In Blue (2005)
| Quote: | Bronx In Blue is an all-acoustic blues outing highlighting the music that first inspired Dion as a child growing up in the Bronx. With songs by Robert Johnson, Willie Dixon, Jimmy Rogers, Hank Williams, Lightnin’ Hopkins and Jimmy Reed, the collection is a soulful tour de force for Dion, not only in his familiar role as a magnificently interpretive vocalist but, also, as a brilliantly innovative guitarist.
Dion notes, "When I was a kid, there was no Rock & Roll. In the early 50’s – late at night, I’d tune into Wheeling, West Virginia (WWVA), listening to the Blues – Howlin’ Wolf’s ‘How Many More Years,’ Jimmy Reed’s ‘Bright Lights, Big City.’ After school, I’d run home to catch the last half hour of the ‘Don Larkin Country Show’ coming out of Newark. I was a Hank Williams junkie; for me, putting country and blues together – that’s what I call Rock & Roll."
Previewing the album in MOJO, Paul Déchamé writes, "Recalling the back-to-basics approach of Cash’s American recordings – muted drums, acoustic guitars – it’s a little like having Dion in your front room strumming his favourite blues songs." Don McCleese, in No Depression, sums up Bronx In Blue thusly: "It all sounds like Dion. It all sounds great." |

Delta Cross Band
| Quote: | | Led by pianist/guitarist/vocalist Troels Jensen, the Delta Cross Band brought the electrifying sounds of contemporary blues and modern American folk to Denmark during the 1980s. Formed in the late '60s, as the Delta Blues Band or Delta, the Delta Cross Band was one of the few bands to record the obscure Dylan tune "Legionnaire's Disease," which appeared on their 1981 album, Up Front. Although they released a second impressive album, Tough Times, in 1991, the group's frustration at not breaking into the international market led them to disband. Jensen surfaced a decade later when he collaborated with Danish bluesman H.P. Lange. ~ Craig Harris, All Music Guide |

Jeremy Spencer - Precious Little (2006)
| Quote: | Precious Little is the new release from British bluesman Jeremy Spencer. His name is far from being unfamiliar to enthusiasts of Sixties British blues, contemporary rock of that era, or especially to fans of early Fleetwood Mac. His slide guitar aptness and subtle piano playing style, along with his dynamically high tonal singing voice, set the stage for the diversity and fullness Fleetwood Mac was to become known for, especially within the astounding range of talent exchanged alongside that of counterparts Peter Green and Danny Kirwan.
Spencer’s emulation qualities in performance, of expressing and imitating just about anyone and anything, was an attribute Mac utilized fittingly, in both the studio and during live shows. His skill was greatly utilized and relied upon, especially by the time Peter Green vacated the band. Even so, Spencer’s last recordings with the band were on the Kiln House album, the record that officially saw the end to Fleetwood Mac’s stint with the blues.
Spencer had other things going on at the time, and still does to this day. While other rockers were sidelined with bouts of alcoholism, substance abuse, and mental instability, Spencer’s shift in lifestyle was a religious calling, one influential enough to draw him away from his successes and accomplishments.
Over the years since, Jeremy Spencer has been involved sporadically in a few different solo projects. However, the new CD on Blind Pig Records appears to be making the biggest splash in the music world, and with good reason. His previous release, 1979's Flee, which, in title alone, sort of described what Spencer had done to Fleetwood Mac, the music business, and his initial fans, was received with only mediocre interest.
Not so for Precious Little.
It’s mostly a blues based album with some contemporary soft rock thrown in. It’s tasteful in quality and diverse in style and technique. Spencer’s blues approach is authentic and precise, just as it was in the early Mac days. His superb slide guitar playing appears to have only gained in competence, as displayed on the album’s opener, ‘Bitter Lemon’, a pleasant shuffle that segues nicely into the railroad bluesy ‘Psychic Waste’. It’s only fitting he’d add a cover of Elmore James’s (his blues hero since the beginning) ‘It Hurts Me Too’ on the record; it’s mellow and easy flowing. ‘Please Don’t Stop’ shows his rockabilly side, and an ageless mannerism, as the song has a youthful and energetic feel. The guitars of both he and Espen Liland are superb on this one. ‘Serene Serena’, a remake of Corrina Corrina’, is pleasant and tuneful.
‘Bleeding Heart’ is a unique slow blues. Spencer gets into some splendid electric slide here, lead guitar also. His singing voice never sounded better. Next is an acoustic blues, ‘Many Sparrows’. Again, there’s some nice slide work going on. There are a couple of pleasing soft rock numbers on the CD as well. Two that come to mind are the Spanish influenced ‘Maria De Santiago’, and the CD’s closer, ‘Precious Little’.
This is a pleasantly listenable CD, and one not to be taken lightly; it’ll be considered a gem to fans of the early Mac sound. The album includes excellent musicians, too, which is always an advantage in producing a perfect CD. It’s nice to hear some new music, genuine and of good quality, come out of the mind and fingers of one of Fleetwood Mac’s greatest original players. |

01. Bitter Lemon
02. Psychic Waste

Muddy Waters - Muddy "Mississippi" Waters Live [Legacy Edition] (2003)
| Quote: | Released in 1979, Mississippi Muddy Waters Live is a different sort of Muddy Waters record. By the time he recorded this, he was older, more experienced. After decades with the company, he’d left Chess and was recording for Blue Sky, a label he shared with Johnny and Edgar Winter. And he had just been awarded his first Grammy. His stage presence had been sharpened over the years, but he was still performing his well-known songs. I had to warm up to this record, and it is not my favorite Muddy Waters album by a long shot. But I can’t in anyway casually regard the opportunity of hearing Muddy Waters play.
The original release was seven tracks on one long-playing record. For this re-release, 12 extra tracks were added to fill out this offering into a double disc item. There’s not a bad track among them, but some of the material, like “Deep Down in Florida”, can sound a little too easy-going. Like Muddy honored a request from the producers and the young audience by 1978 didn’t know it was once a tremendously big deal for a black person just to go to the beach anywhere much less Florida, segregation existing in the sand and surf like everywhere else.
And Muddy, who never ever once had the same lead-in to a song, here onstage with Johnny Winter has two lead-ins exactly the same. Unfortunately, both of them placed one after another in a row because somebody (probably the producer) liked the big sound of that siren-like wail announcing a song. But one of those songs, a slow blues ("where the Soul is”, as Waters used to insist) is “Streamline Woman”. This is the one that proves Muddy Waters could still show anybody how it should really be done.
Imagine Muddy onstage with some of these players. Muddy, who had persevered for years and undeniably was one of the great blues guitarists, whose records inspired some of these very same guys onstage with him here to want to pick up a guitar in the first place; a man who had worked for years and was acknowledged as the greatest for years before he even got close enough to serious money to hear it existed. And young Johnny Winter, who had major labels competing for him for the privilege of selling his second album, what was recognized would be his monster solo album, receiving a cool million dollars just to sign on the dotted line before he so much as stepped in the studio or set down a note for it in the early ‘70s. I confess I felt like I was putting up with Winter onstage here trading licks with Muddy, and all his people, too, especially the ones I suspect are his noisy fans in the audience, the ones who yelled “hoo” or “yeah” just as a song was starting. They sound a little more out of it now than they did at the time, like they’re going to start shouting “boogie” at any minute. One particular guy in the audience, I recognized the sound of his boozy screech on three, four, five tracks: Loudmouth drunk dude, I have to tell you that you’re just ridiculous.
Nonetheless, there are some advantages to this record. On this recording the re-engineering yields crystal clear results and the ability to clearly hear some of Waters’s onstage vocal tricks is something to be treasured. The way he squeezes out a staggered long vocal line by pumping the air out of his lower abdomen like it’s a concertina. And finally, the art and craft of the master of prestidigitation is revealed. There’s no hint there’s a furry little creature hidden up the magician’s sleeve until the showman decides it’s time to pull it out of his hat to amaze the audience, and once the cat is out of the bag, the crowd is stunned into momentary silence.
Muddy’s proving he’s the man with the real magic here. He launches into an extended guitar solo on “Streamline Woman” that just sounds unbelievably nasty. Sliding and quivering, with a shrill nasally pitch, this raunchy long solo will make your facial muscles react—your eyes will squint, your lips will pull apart and expose your teeth, and your choppers will clench and snap. As the guitar crescendos to conclusion, the electric squeal sounds exactly like the screech of a naughty little cat in heat and the yowls of a tom flying through the air mid-pounce. |
Personnel: Muddy Waters (vocals, guitar, slide guitar); Johnny Winter, Bob Margolin, Luther "Guitar Jr." Johnson (guitar); Jerry Portnoy, James Cotton (harmonica); Pine Top Perkins (piano); Calvin Jones, Charles Calmese (bass); Willie "Big Eyes" Smith (drums).

John Mayall - Ten Years Are Gone (1973/2009)
| Quote: | | Mayall returned to the studio in 1973 for this double album. The ten years Mayall had in mind, of course, were the previous ten, which had seen him start as a local musician in Manchester, England, and emerge a decade, almost two dozen albums, and nearly as many lineups later with an evolved jazz-blues style and an international following. The album allows the ensemble considerable room to solo on Mayall's typically simple, blues-based song structures, and the approach is perhaps excessively casual. The second LP is a live date recorded at the Academy of Music in New York, and here things stretch out even more: "Harmonica Free Form" clocks in at 12 minutes and "Dark of the Night" runs 17:41. |

John Mayall - The Latest Edition (1974/2009)
| Quote: | | The title makes a virtue of necessity, as John Mayall introduces another all-new lineup (actually, bassist Larry Taylor is returning from an older edition). Two guitarists, Hightide Harris and Randy Resnick, lead the band in more of an up-tempo R&B style than has been used in much of Mayall's music during the past several years, starting with the timely "Gasoline Blues" (1974 was the year of the gas lines, remember?) and going on to "Troubled Times" (which advises impeaching President Nixon). Still, this was a lackluster set, which is only appropriate since it was Mayall's swan song with Polydor, and the album became his first to miss the charts in the U.S. since 1967. |
Tracklist:
01. Gasoline Blues
02. Perfect Peace
03. Going to Take My Time

Doug MacLeod - Whose Truth, Whose Lies? (2000)
| Quote: | | In 2000, you would have been hard-pressed to find a more lowdown blues-oriented recording than singer/guitarist Doug MacLeod's Whose Truth, Whose Lies?, which should appeal to anyone who likes his/her blues dark, shadowy, and moody. This isn't a CD that tries to win you over with slickness; whether MacLeod is going electric or acoustic, he obviously identifies with the simplicity and honesty that characterized the country blues artists of the '30s and '40s. Not that Whose Truth, Whose Lies? sounds like a recording from that time. MacLeod's lyrics obviously aren't pre-World War II lyrics, and he has been influenced by soul, rock, and folk as well as country and urban blues. Not everything on this superb album adheres to a 12-bar format, and some of the tunes fall into the folk category. But even when he is getting into a folk or R&B groove, MacLeod can always be counted on to provide a wealth of blues feeling. Whose Truth, Whose Lies? may not be the work of a purist, but it is certainly compelling. |
Tracklist:
01. Whose Truth, Whose Lies?
02. Plaquemine
03.'Splain It To Me

Doug MacLeod - A Little Sin (2002)
| Quote: | | Why is Doug MacLeod so little known in the U.S.? He has a following in Europe, and on the basis of this release, he deserves global recognition. Based in Los Angeles, he brings a wonderful, literate turn of lyric to the blues, writing about everyday events and emotions in a way that simply pulls at the heart (listen to the title track for a prime example). Musically he goes for very spare arrangements, just his own guitar work starkly supported at times by bass and drums (and very occasional autoharp), but that's all that's needed. He can sing the blues like a devil, and play pretty damn well, too. He's not afraid of stretching a piece out — "The New Panama Limited" runs more than ten minutes, for instance — but they never seem padded. MacLeod has plenty to say and does it in a way that's powerfully hypnotic. The world either needs more as good as him, or perhaps just greater fame for this one. He's a gem, and so is this disc. |

John Sebastian & J-Band - I Want My Roots (1996)
| Quote: | | John Sebastian's early group affiliations in the Even Dozen Jug Band and the Lovin' Spoonful rose out of the casual party jug-band music that enjoyed a brief period of popularity during the folk boom, mixing folk elements with the more celebratory elements of country and blues with a touch of zany fun thrown in. Combining with guitarist Jimmy Vivino and drummer James Wormworth, Sebastian brought in original jute player Fritz Richmond from the Jim Kweskin Jug Band to form the J-Band, co-credited on this album, which updates jug music for the '90s. Sebastian opens the proceedings with the old Spoonful song "Mobile Line" for reference, and then things get really crazy. Sebastian and Vivino contribute four originals, but the heart of the album is material by the likes of Sleepy John Estes and Blind Willie McTell, and guest stars Paul Risell, Annie Raines, Rory Block, Yank Rachell, Richard Crooks, and John Simon are just as likely to be playing or singing as the nominal leader or his band, which can mean that Sebastian is frequently a sideman on his own album, especially during a three-song Rachell mini-set near the album's end. No matter. The result is like a particularly enjoyable club date in which friends keep stumbling onstage from the bar to sing a verse or play a lick. In other words, the spirit of jug band music has been brought back to life. |

John Kay - Heretics And Privateers (2000)
| Quote: | John Kay, leader of one of rock's most venerable bands, Steppenwolf, has returned to the folk/blues roots of his troubador days with the release of his fourth solo recording "Heretics and Privateers". The musical subtlety and emotional depth of the albums 12 composistions feature provacative lyrics which offer a gritty view of contemporary life, surveying the human toll of institutional callousness with unflinching clarity.
Kay's lyrics aren't the gripes of a chronic malcontect but the deeply felt observations of a first-generation American whose appreciation of his adopted country's promise and potential is balanced by an awareness of it's lapses.
On both the album's title track, which pays tribute to those among us who reject society's proscribed roles in favor of more humane value systems, and the spare, acoustic closing track "Te Back Page" which celebrate those whose everyday acts of kindness demonstate the human rac's capacity for selflessness, Kay's ultimate sense of hope and faith in humanity shines through. |

01. Heretics & Privateers
02. Don't Waste My Time

Colin Linden - Big Mouth (2003)
| Quote: | | This disc from Canadian Colin Linden returns to the more acoustic feel of his earlier recordings. It is still plugged in and he uses many of the same players from his last two discs, yet it is still a subtler disc that maintains the fiery intensity for which he is known. His songwriting remains strong here, and he either wrote or co-wrote 14 of the 15 songs presented here. He is more than ably backed here by his longtime substantial band of Gary Craig, John Dymond, and Richard Bell. Their work is highlighted by special guests/friends Bruce Cockburn, Keb' Mo', Lee Roy Parnell, and Lucinda Williams. It is just a sheer delight to hear Linden and Lucinda Williams play off each other on this unadulterated romp, "Don't Tell Me." On this disc he displays his full range of influences in a total synthesis, from the electric and acoustic blues work across and through the highways of the Continent to the Nashville twang that is infiltrating his sound. Make no mistake, this is a substantial, honest disc that is sustained and heightened by Linden's voice and guitars, with the wonderful collaboration of John Whynot. |

01. Big Mouth
02. Without The One You Love
03. Don't Tell Me (With Lucinda Williams)

Abi Wallenstein - Blues Avenue (1996)
| Quote: | Abi Wallenstein (guitar & vocals) is one of the seminal figures of the European blues scene. For over 30 years he has been winning the hearts of audiences all over Europe with his own charismatic brand of good rocking blues. Born shortly after the end of the second world war, he moved to Hamburg, Germany in the mid 1960s and has become the closest thing to a genuine folk hero to be found in these parts.
His unique open-tuned fingerpicking guitar style is a fascinating blend of delta blues and rock&roll elements, combining rhythmic bass lines with melody and chord parts in a manner sometimes reminiscent of Big Joe Williams, at other times of Keith Richards and sometimes even of David Lindley. His playing seems deceptively simple at first, but reveals itself as multi-layered and complex, with an effortless groove which has inspired a host of imitators. He is also one of the few guitarists to master the difficult art of playing in different modal positions on the open G tuning.
Abi is also a remarkable singer. His raw and powerful voice, steeled by years of playing on the streets, is totally convincing, whether delivering deep blues or definitive renditions of soulful ballads. When the weather is good and his busy touring schedule permits, he can still sometimes be seen in the Hamburg inner city today, trying out new material on the “toughest stage in the world”.
In addition to numerous radio and TV appearances Abi has performed on countless blues festivals including the Ascona Jazz Festival (CH), Lahnstein SWF Blues Festival (D), Unna Blues Festival (D), Esløv Blues Festival (S) and many more. He has also opened for such prestigious acts as Joe Cocker, Daniel Lanois, Robben Ford, George Thorogood and Johnny Winter. |

Jean-Jacques Milteau - Blues Live (1998)
| Quote: | | Born in Paris in 1950, blues harmonica player Jean Jacques Milteau first discovered the harmonica in the mid-'60s while listening to rock albums by artists such as Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones. A heavy interest in the blues ensued and, later on a trip to America, Milteau became enthralled with the traditional blues of artists such as Little Walter, Charlie McCoy, and others. In the late '70s, Milteau decided to devote his entire career to performing music and began making various gigs around Paris, performing with such high-profile artists as Charles Aznavour, Jean-Jacques Goldman, Yves Montand, and others. It wasn't until 1989 though that Milteau released his solo debut, Blues Harp. Since then, Milteau added writing to his resumé, including various harmonica method books, and released his share of albums in Europe and toured extensively. Milteau released the Tennessee-recorded Memphis in 2003. |

Candye Kane - Superhero (2009)
| Quote: | Candye Kane is used to shocking audiences when she takes the stage. Dressed in brightly colored feathers, sequins and rhinestones, the self-described “fat black drag queen trapped in a white woman’s body” belts, growls and croons her selection of original blues and classic rock tunes. Sporting a streaked Betty Page hairstyle, the San Diego sexpot is known for her outrageous renditions of “Whole Lotta Love” and “200 Pounds of Fun,” both of which glorify the sensuality of zaftig women. But the blues-belting diva wore only a white hospital gown when she SPAMised a new audience — her doctors. Miss Kane was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and philosophically told her physician, “If it’s my time to go, I sure have had an amazing ride.” Having lost friends to the disease, Kane knew that pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest cancers, often claiming its victims just six months after diagnosis.
One year later, she was pronounced cancer-free, stunning her medical team once again. So it’s no wonder Kane feels like a “Superhero,” to quote the title of her 10th and latest CD. The 15-track CD opens with tough, soulful original songs, such as “Hey! Toughen Up” and closes with “I’m Gonna Be Just Fine,” whose lyrics she says were therapeutic to write. Produced by Delta Groove Music, the recording contains some of Kane’s most personal writing yet. |

Doc & Merle Watson - Sittin' Here Pickin' The Blues (2004)
| Quote: | | This album is an expanded edition of Doc and Merle Watson's classic Pickin' the Blues, with eight additional tracks from their Flying Fish Records catalogue. In the hands of Doc and Merle, the blues and country music are a natural fit, with songs drawn from a range of blues, jazz and country styles. In addition to Doc's flat-picking and Merle's slide guitar playing, this collection is a fine showcase for Doc's baritone voice, as natural and expressive an instrument as any in country music or the blues. With T. Michael Coleman, Mark O'Connor, Sam Bush and others. |

Long John Baldry
| Quote: | Like Cliff Richard, Chris Farlowe, Slade, Blur, and eel pie, Long John Baldry is one of those peculiarly British phenomena that doggedly resists American translation. As a historical figure, he has undeniable importance. When he began singing as a teenager in the 1950s, he was one of the first British vocalists to perform folk and blues music. In the early '60s, he sang in the band of British blues godfather Alexis Korner, Blues Incorporated, which also served as a starting point for future rock stars Mick Jagger, Jack Bruce, and others. As a member of Blues Incorporated, he contributed to the first British blues album, R&B at the Marquee (1962). He then joined the Cyril Davies R&B All Stars, taking over the group (renamed Long John Baldry and His Hoochie Coochie Men) after Davies' death in early 1964. This band featured Rod Stewart as a second vocalist, and also employed Geoff Bradford (who had been in an embryonic version of the Rolling Stones) on guitar.
In the mid-'60s, he helped form Steampacket, a proto-supergroup that also featured Stewart, Julie Driscoll, and Brian Auger. When Steampacket broke up, he fronted Bluesology, the band that gave keyboardist Reg Dwight — soon to become Elton John — his first prestigious gig. He was a well-liked figure on the London club circuit, and in fact the Beatles took him on as a guest on one of their 1964 British TV specials, at a time when the Fab Four could have been no bigger, and Baldry was virtually unknown.
Ironically, his greatest commercial success came not with blues, but orchestrated pop ballads that echoed Engelbert Humperdinck. The 1967 single "Let the Heartaches Begin" reached number one in Britain, and Baldry had several other small British hits in the late '60s, the biggest of which was "Mexico" (1968). (None of these made an impression in the U.S.)
The commercial success of his ballads led Baldry to forsake the blues on record for a few years. He returned to blues and rock in 1971 on It Ain't Easy, for which Rod Stewart and Elton John shared the production duties. The album contained a tiny American chart item, "Don't Try to Lay No Boogie-Woogie on the King of Rock'n'Roll," and Stewart and John split the production once again on the 1972 follow-up, Everything Stops for Tea. Baldry never caught on as an international figure, though, and by 1980 had become a Canadian citizen. He continued to record, and did commercial voice-overs as well as the voice of Doctor Robotnik in children's cartoons. After battling a severe chest infection for several months, Long John Baldry passed away on July 21, 2005, while hospitalized in Vancouver.

B.B. King - Live At Montreux 1993 (2009)
| Quote: | B.B. King is King of the Blues for a couple of reasons. The first is his phenomenal talent as a guitarist. His vibrato technique is the stuff of legend, and his music has always mixed tasteful lyricism and joyful energy. But, there are a lot of very talented guitarists in the world and only one King. The other thing that cements B.B.'s status is his relentless touring schedule. After a string of albums during the '60s blues revival (including the essential Live at the Regal), B.B. recorded less and toured more, averaging three hundred nights a year for decades (throughout, I might add, his fifties, sixties, and seventies; now in his eighties he's finally slowing down). With all his passion, and that much practice, B.B. took his tremendous talent and honed it to a sharp edge that he's maintained for longer than most bands can stay together. With a crack team of musicians in tow, B.B. has toured the world, earning the right to his crown. In that time he's appeared at the famous Montreux Jazz Festival almost twenty times. Now we have B.B. King: Live at Montreux 1993, a DVD of a show from 1993, and it's everything B.B. fans could hope for.
In almost 100 minutes, B.B. and his band run through seventeen tracks, including newer songs and old favorites:
• "Fanfare"
• "Six Pack"
• "Two I Shoot the Blues"
• "B.B. Intro"
• "Let the Good Times Roll"
• "When It All Comes Down (I'll Still Be Around)"
• "Chains of Love"
• "Caldonia"
• "All Over Again"
• "Since I Met You Baby"
• "Playing With My Friends"
• "Ain't Nobody Home"
• "Why I Sing the Blues"
• "Blues Man"
• "Rock Me Baby"
• "Please Accept My Love"
• "The Thrill is Gone"
This is pretty much a textbook B.B. King show. Fresh off his Blues Summit, which saw him team up with other blues greats like John Lee Hooker and Buddy Guy, B.B. King and his band are in fine form. The show opens with the backing band (including guitar, bass, drums, horns, and a piano) warming the crowd up before the man himself takes the stage. They then proceed to run through a number of high-energy tunes (including a fantastic reading of "Let the Good Times Roll"). B.B. stalks the stage, playing his guitar Lucille for all he's worth, making his usual expressive faces. Towards the end of the set the band brings it down a little (and B.B. brings out a chair to sit in), and the set ends with the beautiful lament of "The Thrill is Gone."
Normally I don't notice how concerts are filmed (unless either the band or the camerawork is really bad), but I was struck by how well this show was filmed. Although B.B. is the star player, he works with a tight ensemble, and the look reflects that. There are numerous shots of the whole band rocking out, as well as close-ups on individual players when they take solo turns. Then, there's the handling of B.B. himself. One of the things he's known for is the expressive faces he makes while playing, and we see plenty of that. Also, knowing how many guitar fanatics (myself included) idolize B.B.'s technique, there are also numerous loving shots of his hands as he plays. It's like a master class in electric blues and makes for compelling viewing.
There's also nothing to complain about with either the audio or video of this disc. The transfer is bright and clear, with no obvious compression or source difficulties, and the DTS and Dolby Digital surround options are clear with good separation. I found B.B.'s guitar tone especially wonderful to listen too. Purists might complain about the lack of a PCM track, but that's a small problem considering the quality of the other tracks. The only other complaint about the presentation might be the lack of extras—even some posters from the time would be appreciated, but all we get is a well-written set of liner notes.
If I have one complaint about this disc, it's that everything might be too perfect. The band is tight and B.B. does his thing well, but there's something missing that could have taken this night from "special" to "magical." I'm not sure what it is, but maybe a fresh guitarist (especially one from his Blues Summit album) or a slightly different set of arrangements. Really though, I'm just quibbling: what's here is great and nothing to complain about.
Longtime fans of the King of the Blues will be happy to add this DVD to their collection, and this set is also a compelling choice for an introduction to B.B. King's magnificent version of the blues. We can only hope that some of the other B.B. King appearances at Montreux get this same treatment. |

Bill Simms, Jr. & Mark Lavoie - American Blues Roots Duo (2008)
| Quote: | Acoustic blues is one of music's most difficult idioms to master. Free from the bombast of loud guitars and pounding drums, it requires an almost Zen-like approach that aspires to be simple and profound at the same time. An excellent example of some folks getting it right is the acoustic duo of guitarist Bill Sims Jr.. and harmonica player Mark LaVoie. On their latest release, American Blues Roots Duo, Sims and LaVoie lay down some of the sweetest country blues heard in these parts in quite some time.
Their sound is down home, back porch, crossroads, and hellhounds all at once and takes listeners back to a time before electricity turned the blues up loud, when feel and soul were everything, and when most musicians played simply because playing felt good. Between them, Sims and LaVoie have played with legends like Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, and many more, another indicator that they are doing something right.
The songs here are classics and are treated to fine renditions accenting the interplay between Sims? smooth vocals and LaVoie's deeply soulful harp playing. The key to this album is truly taking one's time in listening and digesting what is really going down. There is much genius here, but, because of the quiet nature of this style, it can be easy to miss.
Those with the patience to prospect here will be rewarded with a set of songs that show us what the beginnings of the music we love sounded like and how valid this stuff still is. Highlights include "Going Down The Road Feeling Bad", "Must Have Been The Devil", and "Telephone Blues". |

Bill Morrissey - Songs Of Mississippi John Hurt (1999)
| Quote: | | As Morrissey's rep is built solidly on the fine storytelling abilities so well-crafted in his original songs, it may come as a SPAMise to hear him in this setting, turning in equally compelling takes on Mississippi John Hurt material. Utilizing various settings and lineups to recast the material in terms other than the typical solo-acoustic-guitar folk-fest, Morrissey burrows in into the core of each of the tunes aboard in this 15-song collection. Figuring rightly that Hurt's tunes had been interpreted in a variety of ways — blues band, jug band, bluegrass, country, folk — the same free-range approach to the material works here as well, with understated but interesting versions of classics like "Avalon Blues," "Good Morning, Miss Carrie," "Hot Time In the Old Town Tonight" and "Joe Turner Blues." Recording this album in New Orleans, Morrissey enlisted the aid of Crescent City session aces Johnny Vidacovich on drums, James Singleton on bass and David Torkanowsy on piano to form the core band, with harmonica, saxophone and trumpet showing up on various tracks. As a tribute album, Morrissey has respected tradition while still bringing enough of himself to the party to make it interesting. |

Delaney Bramlet - A New Kind Of Blues (2008)
| Quote: | No, this is not someone, an unknown, Delaney Bramlett's musical history spans three decades making it difficult to pinpoint in such a short space his contributions to the world of music. Known as a great songwriter, singer and musician, he has also been a mentor to some of the very best: Eric Clapton, George Harrison, J.J. Cale and Bobby Whitlock to name just a few.
If interested in reading rest of the biography go here:
http://delaneybramlett.com/
Actually, with all apologies to Delaney, this CD is not a new kind of Blues, rather it's the same old Blues that D.B. has always done. And this is a good thing. The old cliche goes that you can take the boy out of Mississippi but you can't take Mississippi out of the boy. D.B. proves that adage. The songs are great, the musicians are superb and D.B. still has that soulful voice. Whether you're an old fan or new, give this one a spin. Enjoy. |

Ray Bonneville - Roll It Down (2003)
| Quote: | His own style involves generating a tremendous amount of sound: laying down a SPAMisingly complex guitar groove, rock-solid footboard percussion, intricate but understated harmonica licks, and weathered vocals that are always cool but never aloof.
In case you haven't heard, this cat is one of the baddest country blues artists walking the planet today. His style incorporates a number of worlds. New Orleans, country blues, pop music (by that I mean Dire Straits, Eric Clapton, and especially J.J. Cale) and Country and gospel music.
He's a dual citizen, and tours widely in Canada, where he won a Juno (their Grammy) for his 2000 release Gust of Wind. An infectious rolling groove develops in the way he combines his super funky thumb/index attack on the electric guitar, his deep harmonica chops, and the amplified footboard, and it rocks the room. His vocals are smoky, with a trace of sweetness, streetwise and well traveled. He's known, sometimes, for playing an old Gibson J-50 acoustic, but for me the essential Ray is on the thin hollow body electrics of Epiphone or Gibson, he makes those skinny guitars jump like few I've ever seen or heard.
Along with the artist, Roll It Down was co-produced with two Canadians, Rob Heaney and the ubiquitous Colin Linden. It started at Fast Forward Studio in Montreal with Ray, and Geoff Arsenault on percussion, moved on to Deep Field Studio in Nashville with Colin Linden producing (we sure like the records he makes, see reviews of Stephen Fearing and Susan Werner) and some hand picked Nashville trackers. Jonell Mosser sang some background vocals, and drummer Bryan Owings from Buddy Miller's band, the legendary Joey Spampinato from NRBQ on bass, the mighty Richard Bell on B3, and Ray's talented longtime compadre Brad Hayes on guitar, all contributed to the band songs. Ray's a distinctive and superior guitarist, and he cut all the slide tracks and the signature funky rhythm grooves, and all the guitars on the title track. Joel Zifkin cameos on violin on two tracks. |

Nightlosers - Rhythm & Bulz (2004)
| Quote: | Nightlosers is a romanian ethno-blues band, mostly remarkable for their ability to
find common roots between country-rock, American blues and Eastern Europe
genuine folk, thus conveying the same message through complementary ways of
expression. Their sound is chameleonic - to induce the rock/blues/ethno state of mind,
the blend is a well-measured recipe with a bit of passion, a bit of subtle self-humor, a
lot of technique in whatever device that produces some sort of sound, from overdriven
guitar down to poplar leaf -- and a good dose of temper.
They are having concerts all over Europe as well as in the USA.
Their repertoire of traditional blues grew organically on stage. It grew out of having
some fun during a jam session. Their first tape, ‘Sitting on top of the World’, 1994,
was influenced by traditional folk music; these influences were taken further with
their first CD ‘Plum Brandy Blues’. The project is also called ‘The Groove Distillery’
since they invited many guest musicians. These musicians used instruments like
cimbalom, taragot (a type of clarinet), leaf, ceramic birds... This recording is a
brilliant testimony to the soul of the band. A delicious mixture of blues and folk music
from the Balkan area, with some jazzy-funky grooving on top, and a whole lot of
humour. Nightlosers’ music is full of SPAMises and original turns. |

Albert Collins - Truckin' With Albert Collins (1969)
| Quote: | | Truckin' with Albert Collins is a 1969 Blue Thumb reissue of The Cool Sound of Albert Collins, which was originally released on TCF Hall Records in 1965. These are the earliest recordings that Collins made, and already his trademark sound is in place — his leads are stinging, piercing and direct. The album features a set of blistering instrumentals (with the exception of the vocal "Dyin' Flu") that would eventually become his signature tunes, including "Frosty" and "Frostbite." Collins doesn't just stick to blues, he adds elements of surf, rock, jazz, and R&B. These songs may not have beenmore… hits at the time, but they helped establish his reputation as the Master of the Telecaster. |

Albert Collins - The Complete Imperial Recordings (1991)
| Quote: | | Texan Albert Collins was in the very first rank of post-war blues guitarists. This two-CD set is a reissue of all 36 sides he cut for Imperial from 1968 to 1970 — representing this artist's second major recording stint. Instrumentals comprise roughly three-fourths of the material. They frame his distinctive guitar work with a tight ensemble of organ, bass, and drums, adding at times a piano and/or second guitar, punctuated by a horn section. About ten of these tunes are as great as anything Collins ever did. They are riddled with the biting, incisive, dramatic, and economical playing thatmore… made him a legend. There are also some outstanding vocals. Although this set is not without its clinkers, it is a solid package and a must for any Collins fan. |

Albert Collins & The Icebreakers - Live In Japan (1984)
| Quote: | While Albert Collins' LIVE IN JAPAN doesn't achieve the incredible audience rapport of B.B. King's LIVE AT THE REGAL or reach the musically telepathic heights of THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND AT FILLMORE EAST, it does offer a fine snapshot of a talented veteran band at work, churning out honest, gutbucket funky blues circa 1982. LIVE IN JAPAN came in the middle of Collins' long tenure on Alligator, and the Icebreakers were his steady band for most of that time. Tenor man A.C. Reed was a recording artist in his own right, and Collins generously gives Reed a spot at the vocal mike in this set, for the stompin' shuffle "Jealous Man." Generally, though, it's Collins' show, and he makes the most of it, coming out stinging on the opening vamp "Listen Here," stretching out on the set's other slow blues, "If Trouble Was Money," and doing a cool segue from "Stormy Monday" into the instrumental "Skatin'."
Recorded live at Kudan Kaikan, Tokyo, Japan on December 21, 1982. Originally released on Yupiteru Records.
Personnel: Albert Collins (vocals, guitar); A.C. Reed (vocals, tenor saxophone); Larry Burton (guitar); Johnny B. Gayden (bass); Casey Jones (drums, background vocals). |

01. Listen Here!
02. Tired Man
