The Complete Vanguard Recordings and More (2001) more music like this

by Siegel-Schwall Band

Is a three-CD set of the Siegel-Schwall Band -- including all four of their Vanguard albums (spanning 1966-1970) in their entirety, along with six previously unissued cuts -- too much to take at once? In a word, yes. If you're a blues-rock history nut, though -- and there must be some such listeners out there -- it is a handy collection that ...

Flash Forward (2005) more music like this

by Siegel-Schwall Band

Thirty years after their last full-length studio effort, and nearly 40 years since they released their debut album in 1966, the Siegel-Schwall Band is back with Flash Forward, a delightful little folk-blues outing that is refreshing both for its sense of humor and its breezy, lighter-than-air ensemble playing. Not that they're doing anything new ...

Wooden Nickel Years: 1971-1974 (1999) more music like this

by Siegel-Schwall Band

Subtitled "the Wooden Nickel years," these are the sides made between 1971 and 1973 for the RCA subsidiary. While the music the group made during this period was blues based, much of it can't really be called straight blues. But Siegel-Schwall always marched to the beat of a different drummer and just how different is collected up nicely here with ...

Vanguard Blues Sampler (1996) more music like this

by Various Artists

A dozen-plus-one tracks drawn from Vanguard Records' '60s-era rediscovery blues catalog, this sampler is OK as far as it goes, but it isn't anything special, save for Skip James' delicate version of his "I'm So Glad," Mississippi John Hurt's gentle and mellow take on "Corrina, Corrina," and Otis Spann's piano workout on "Spann's Stomp." Steve ...

Frett'n the Blues: Best of the Great Blues Guitarists (2000) more music like this

by Various Artists

In the 1960s, lovers of electric blues had a lot to choose from -- not only the Chicago blues, but also the electric blues of Texas, Louisiana, Detroit, and Memphis. Vanguard's electric blues output of the 1960s is the main focus of this 2000 compilation, which spans 1965-1968 and spotlights some of the guitar playing singers who recorded for the ...

Where We Walked (1966-1970) (1991) more music like this

by Siegel Schwall Band

A very nice, fairly thorough, compilation that supersedes the old vinyl collection on several levels; nice mastering, better notes, and nicer selection. For a basic introduction to their sound, this one's hard to beat. Cub Koda, All Music Guide

Siegel Schwall Band (1966) more music like this

by Siegel-Schwall Band

The Siegel-Schwall Band's eponymous debut album is played a little too timidly to stand up to repeated listenings in today's noisy world, but their takes on Jimmy Reed's "Going to New York" and others are fascinating nonetheless. A different way of approaching any color -lues, period. Cub Koda, All Music Guide

Generations of Blues, Vol. 2: Born in Chicago (1998) more music like this

by Various Artists

The blues were not born, but did evolve in Chicago, as did the majority of artists on this collection. The most blatant non-Chi-Town exception is John Mayall, with most others coming up from the Delta. Still this is a decent collection of classic blues, especially with the tracks from Muddy Waters, Jimmy Reed, Little Walter, James Cotton, Son ...

Three Pieces for Blues Band and Orchestra (1973) more music like this

by Siegel-Schwall Band

This is not an album -- or a piece of music -- to be neutral about. Collaborations between the high brow and the low down have always been dicey (anyone ever heard Albert King playing with a symphony orchestra?), but this one will definitely leave on one side of the debate or the other; either you'll hail it as the blues brought "uptown" or as ...

Shake (1968) more music like this

by Siegel-Schwall Band

Shake! was probably the group's second best album and certainly the one that came the closest to representing their live act. The major highlight is their take on Howlin' Wolf's "Shake for Me." Lots of fun and fireworks on this one, the sound of a band at the top of their game. Cub Koda, All Music Guide
