Live '82
(1994)
more music like this
by
Billy Branch
The fact that Billy Branch's backing band for this live date from 1982 is called the SOBs gives listeners hope that this will be a nasty, biting concert. For the most part, that's incorrect, since this wasn't a performance that reached a rolling boil -- it was one that kept to a low simmer. Nearly all of the songs are taken at slow tempos, and the ...

Billy Branch & Lurrie Bell and the Sons of Blues
Another quality L&R Records production that has been saved by a reissue on Evidence Music. Originally recorded in 1982, Chicago's Young Blues Generation features the raw, frantic work of guitarist Lurrie Bell and harp blower Billy Branch, who remain the closest the blues scene has to a modern-day Buddy Guy and Junior Wells. Back in 1982, Bell and ...

Various Artists
Volume four in the Evidence Blues Sampler series includes one track each from the label's 16 blues releases over a short six-month period during late 1994 and early 1995.

by
Billy Branch & the Sons of Blues
Slightly scattershot 1984 LP, originally released on the now-defunct Red Beans logo, that hits more than it misses. At its best -- the sardonic title track, a couple of vocals by veteran pianist Jimmy Walker, a stunning "Son of Juke" that spotlights Branch's harp wizardry -- it's a fine introduction to the SOBs' multi-faceted attack. ~ Bill Dahl, ...

(1996)

by
Various Artists
The fifth Evidence Blues Sampler continues the tradition of mixing and matching Evidence's current releases, this time circa 1996. This does not mean that the collection is devoted to contemporary recordings. Instead, it gives a good blend of the label's new(ish) recordings and reissues. This can result in a little bit of a schizophrenic feel, but ...

Billy Branch
Branch and Carl Weathersby ventured down to Maurice, LA, to cut this impressive disc with a home-grown rhythm section, but only Branch's name appears on its front. Certainly the harpist is the star of the show, growling covers of dusties by Sonny Boy Williamson, Willie Dixon, and Howlin' Wolf. Nevertheless, guitarist Weathersby provides two of the ...
