The Definitive Collection [Hip-O]

The Definitive Collection [Hip-O] (2006) more music like this

by John Lee Hooker

What can be said about yet another John Lee Hooker greatest-hits collection!? Not only is the music consumer loaded down with these discs, but frankly, most are very similar in content. The main thing to look for when purchasing a compilation of "The Hook" is a trust worthy label. Hip-O's Definitive Collection provides one such example, complete ...

Black Snake Moan [Original Soundtrack]

Black Snake Moan [Original Soundtrack] (2007) more music like this

by Original Soundtrack

Black Snake Moan, the 2007 movie that stars Samuel L. Jackson as a God-fearing, bent broken soul and tortured former bluesman, with Christina Ricci playing the town tramp he feels he has to redeem by any means necessary, is a wildly provocative look at spiritual and cultural mores -- and is sure to set some folks on edge. The soundtrack that ...

Mr. Lucky (1991) more music like this

by John Lee Hooker

His latest for Virgin's blues division, contains some entertaining material. It's not a classic, but it's not half-bad either. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide

Hooker 'n' Heat (Recorded Live at the Fox Venice Theatre)

Hooker 'n' Heat (Recorded Live at the Fox Venice Theatre) (1981) more music like this

by John Lee Hooker With Canned Heat

Second-guessing team-up records like this one is always a fun exercise. Having worked so well together on a 1971 album of the same name, both parties hoped to make lightning strike twice in front of a sweaty crowd, with an upstart indie label capturing it all. There's also an unavoidable poignancy infusing this low-key but energetic night, since ...

Hooker 'n Heat

Hooker 'n Heat (1971) more music like this

by John Lee Hooker w/ Canned Heat

When this two-LP set was initially released in January 1971, Canned Heat was back to its R&B roots, sporting slightly revised personnel. In the spring of the previous year, Larry "The Mole" Taylor (bass) and Harvey Mandel (guitar) simultaneously accepted invitations to join John Mayall's concurrent incarnation of the Bluesbreakers. This marked the ...

The Very Best of John Lee Hooker [Rhino]

The Very Best of John Lee Hooker [Rhino] (1995) more music like this

by John Lee Hooker

This 16-track collection sweats down Rhino's two-disc anthology to a lean, mean and essential single disc. Here are the earliest recordings that established Hooker as a major blues artist -- "Boogie Chillen," "Hobo Blues," "I'm In the Mood," "Crawlin' Kingsnake," and "Huckle Up Baby" -- and they sound better here than on most other collections, ...

You Better Run: The Essential Junior Kimbrough

You Better Run: The Essential Junior Kimbrough (2002) more music like this

by Junior Kimbrough

Gathering the best of his all-too-brief recording career, You Better Run: The Essential Junior Kimbrough includes most of his best-known songs, including "Done Got Old," "Meet Me in the City," "You Better Run," and "All Night Long." The collection does a good job of representing each of Kimbrough's albums, ranging from the rough-and-ready sound of ...

A Bothered Mind

A Bothered Mind (2004) more music like this

by R.L. Burnside

When R.L. Burnside and the rest of the Fat Possum confederation emerged from the northern Mississippi hills in the early '90s, they gave contemporary blues a much-needed shot in the ass, reminding everyone that the genre really wasn't so much about pyrotechnic guitar histrionics as it was about getting folks to hit the dancefloor, and once there, ...

Mississippi Hill Country Blues

Mississippi Hill Country Blues (2000) more music like this

by R.L. Burnside

It's a pleasure to hear R.L. Burnside's early acoustic blues played the way he learned them in the hill country of Northern Mississippi. Three of these tracks date from 1967 and were recorded in Coldwater, MS by folklorist George Mitchell, while the remaining 16 were recorded in the early '80s by Swingmaster operator Leo Bruin in Groningen, ...

A Ass Pocket of Whiskey (1996) more music like this

by R.L. Burnside

Although he had been playing for years, it wasn't until the 1990s that R.L. Burnside's raw electrified Delta blues were heard by a wide audience. His new fans celebrated his wild, unbridled energy, so it made sense for him to team with the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, the warped indie rock band that's all about energy. However, the very purists ...

First Recordings (2003) more music like this

by R.L. Burnside

At the time these tracks were cut, 1967 and 1968, R.L. Burnside was working on a plantation in Coldwater, MS, cutting silage. Folklorist George Mitchell was on a mission to record unknown blues singers down South. Mitchell heard about Burnside and paid him a visit, asking if he could record him. That night Mitchell returned to Burnside's place ...

Mr. Wizard (1997) more music like this

by R.L. Burnside

While it's not quite as relentlessly exciting as Ass Pocket of Whiskey, primarily because the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion isn't along to provide support, Mr. Wizard is another set of blistering electric blues from R.L. Burnside, highlighted by his stomping guitar, powerful voice and cheerfully vulgar lyrics. Thom Owens, All Music Guide

Not the Same Old Blues Crap (1998) more music like this

by Various Artists

A sampler from the Fat Possum label that, as the title announces, really isn't the same old blues crap. Fat Possum made its name as a home for raw 1990s juke-joint blues, and a lot of that is here in the cuts by Junior Kimbrough, R.L. Burnside, T-Model Ford, and Jelly Roll Kings. It's straight-up electric guitar blues where the groove and ...

Remember Me (2004) more music like this

by Charles Caldwell

The story of Charles Caldwell is that of too many bluesmen -- discovered too late. At least the Fat Possum label did find and record him before he died of cancer in September 2003. And there was no doubt this guy could play, whether on his own or accompanied by a drummer. You want raw Mississippi blues? This is it, as electric as R.L. Burnside or ...

Let the Good Times Roll (2007) more music like this

by Sam Carr's Delta Jukes

Blues drummer Sam Carr is the son of the legendary Robert Nighthawk, and from his Mississippi birthplace arrived in St. Louis, and then for good in Helena, AK, where he formed this group, the Delta Jukes. They play authentic, raw, and untamed down-home blues, replete with the rough-hewn, basic techniques that signify blues dragged through Southern ...

The Best of Hooker 'n Heat (1996) more music like this

by Canned Heat & John Lee Hooker

The ten songs on Best of Hooker 'n Heat were originally released as part of a 1971 album (on Liberty 35002); this reissue, despite the lack of historical liner notes, isn't exactly short of value, clocking in at 56 minutes. Canned Heat gets top billing, but really it's John Lee Hooker's show, as he sings all the tracks and takes all the ...

I Do Not Play No Rock 'n' Roll [2-CD] (1995) more music like this

by Mississippi Fred McDowell

This reissue of the original Capitol landmark from 1969 adds ten tunes. The performance is classic and retains all of its spiky edginess. Even though blues purists griped because it was the first recording where the previously acoustic McDowell played electric guitar, his lines are so stark, spare, and jagged that the fullness and volume the ...

Bad Man (2002) more music like this

by T-Model Ford

What goes around comes around in the blues world. Although T-Model Ford is from Mississippi, not all of his influences are Mississippi Delta influences -- his dusky, moody electric blues also owe something to Chicago (Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf), Detroit (John Lee Hooker), and Texas (Lightnin' Hopkins). Of course, Waters, Hooker, and Wolf were all ...

Delta Crossroads (2000) more music like this

by Robert Lockwood, Jr.

For Delta Crossroads, Robert Lockwood Jr., a former student of Robert Johnson, returns to his Delta blues roots. This 16-track album features Lockwood with only his 12-string acoustic guitar. It is rather strange hearing old Delta blues sung by one of its originals on a modern recording. All of the notes from the guitar are clear. Plus, his voice ...

Burnside on Burnside (2001) more music like this

by R.L. Burnside

Like jazz, blues music has faced a problem of attrition, with its major names dying off and younger artists having trouble establishing themselves at anything like an equal level of recognition. One way out of this dilemma has been the discovery of new-old bluesmen, musicians who have reached an advanced age without becoming stars, who can now be ...
