Chess Blues

Chess Blues (1992) more music like this

by Various Artists

Chess Blues is a superlative four-CD box set featuring important tracks by all the main stars of the label (Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, Sonny Boy Williamson), as well as much previously unreleased material. A well-done retrospective of Chicago blues in its heyday, as recorded by America's greatest blues label, Chess. Cub Koda, All ...

The Chess Box

The Chess Box (1989) more music like this

by Willie Dixon

This was the most unusual, and probably the most difficult to assemble of MCA's Chess Box series, mostly because of the unusual nature of Willie Dixon's contribution to Chess Records. To be sure, Dixon rates a place in the history of the label right alongside that of Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, and Little Walter, but his role was more subtle than ...

All Your Love I Miss Loving: Live at the Wise Fools Pub Chicago

All Your Love I Miss Loving: Live at the Wise Fools Pub Chicago (2005) more music like this

by Otis Rush

Despite deservedly being one of the towering figures of Chicago blues guitar, Otis Rush's recorded output has been both intermittent and inconsistent for various reasons. After his famed Cobra and Chess sides of the '50s and very early '60s, his career trudged along in first gear but it looked like he might break through in the '70s with a handful ...

Cold Day in Hell

Cold Day in Hell (1976) more music like this

by Otis Rush

Inconsistent but sometimes riveting 1975 studio set that hits some high highs (a crunchy "Cut You a Loose," the lickety-split jazzy instrumental "Motoring Along") right alongside some incredibly indulgent moments. But that's Otis -- the transcendent instants are worth the hassle. Bill Dahl, All Music Guide

Right Place, Wrong Time

Right Place, Wrong Time (1976) more music like this

by Otis Rush

This recording session was not released until five years after it was done. One can imagine the tapes practically smoldering in their cases, the music is so hot. Sorry, there is nothing "wrong" about this blues album at all. Otis Rush was a great blues expander, a man whose guitar playing was in every molecule pure blues. On his solos on this ...

Chess Blues Classics: 1957-1967 (1997) more music like this

by Various Artists

This second volume of a two-volume entry in MCA's Chess 50th Anniversary reissue series chronicles the second decade of blues classics produced by the landmark company. Although Chess' big four (Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, and Sonny Boy Williamson) are all finely represented, influential sides by Elmore James ("Madison Blues"), Otis ...

Mourning in the Morning

Mourning in the Morning (1969) more music like this

by Otis Rush

Panned by many a critic upon its 1969 release, Otis Rush's trip to Muscle Shoals sounds pretty fine now (with the obvious exceptions of "My Old Lady" and "Me," which no amount of time will ever save). The house band (including Duane Allman and drummer Roger Hawkins) picks up on Rush's harrowing vibe and runs with it on the stunning "Gambler's ...

Lost in the Blues

Lost in the Blues (1977) more music like this

by Otis Rush

The powers that be at Alligator were subjected to a fair amount of criticism for taking a 1977 album of standards that Otis Rush had cut in Sweden and overdubbing Lucky Peterson's keyboards to make the thing sound fuller and more contemporary. History, after all, should not be messed with. But it's still a reasonably successful enterprise, with ...

An Introduction to Otis Rush (2006) more music like this

by Otis Rush

Otis Rush's singles for Eli Tuscanno's Chicago-based Cobra Records imprint were somewhat of a revelation when he recorded them between 1956 and 1958. Rush combined the electric country blues ensemble approach of Muddy Waters with the more urbane single-string guitar leads of B.B. King on these strikingly intense minor key classics, creating what ...

Blues Masters, Vol. 2: Postwar Chicago Blues (1992) more music like this

by Various Artists

Excellent 18 track compendium of all the major movers and shakers who helped shape the Chicago blues scene in the 50s. Everyone is well represented here, and major stars like Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf stand next to behind-the-scenes geniuses like Earl Hooker and Jody Williams for an interesting, and accurate, blend.

The Cobra Records Story (1993) more music like this

by Various Artists

If the 50 tracks on this double-CD box sound an awful lot like they could have come off of any of MCA's various Chess boxes -- but especially the Willie Dixon volume -- it's no accident. Cobra Records was an upstart Chicago-based label that existed for a little over three years at the end of the 1950s, founded by Eli Toscano and Willie Dixon as ...

Ain't Enough Comin' In (1994) more music like this

by Otis Rush

With sympathetic production from John Porter, a great lineup of players who follow him every bluesy turn of the way and a dozen well chosen pieces of material, Rush wipes the unispired album slate clean with this one. Everything that makes Otis a unique master of his form is here to savor, from his passionate vocals to the shimmering finger ...

Door to Door (With Albert King) (1970) more music like this

by Otis Rush

Although Albert King is pictured on the front cover and has the lion's share of tracks on this excellent compilation, six of the fourteen tracks come from Rush's shortlived tenure with the label and are some of his very best. Chronologically, these are his next recordings after the Cobra sides and they carry a lot of the emotional wallop of those ...

As the title suggests, Sweet Home Blues gathers nine blues classics into a value-priced CD, including: Buddy Guy's "First Time I Met The Blues," Howlin' Wolf's "The Red Rooster," B.B. King's "Rock Me Baby," and Koko Taylor's "Wang Dang Doodle." Albert Collins' "Frostbite" and Junior Parker's "Sweet Home Chicago" are some of the other worthwhile ...

Kicking off with Hip Linkchain's driving "House Cat Blues," the third Evidence Blues Sampler compiles 14 tracks from 14 albums released by the label during 1993-1994. Producer Amy Gordon did a great job selecting tracks, like Cousin Joe's "Box Car Shorty," Jimmy Witherspoon's version of Willie Nelson's introspective "Night Life," and "Don't You ...

Atlantic Blues: Chicago (1986) more music like this

by Various Artists

Chess is arguably the first label for blues, but behemoth Atlantic has enough of the stuff -- albeit a bit past its prime -- to still warrant a multi-disc box. This separately sold part of that package takes in some of the giants from the Illinois epicenter of urban blues. Two of the best, Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters, as well as latter-day Windy ...
