Dot Com Blues

Dot Com Blues (2001) more music like this

by Jimmy Smith

On his first album in more than five years, Jimmy Smith, who turned 75 shortly before the release date, attempts the soul-jazz version of what Santana did on Supernatural -- heavily featuring guest stars in an attempt to broaden his appeal. The basic band consists of Smith on organ, Reggie McBride on bass guitar, and Harvey Mason on drums, but ...

Duets

Duets (1979) more music like this

by Jerry Lee Lewis

This odd collection of Duets was released in 1978 in order to take advantage of public attention then directed toward Elvis Presley, who had died the preceding year. The Sun label basically dug through its Jerry Lee Lewis archives, pulled out some of the better recordings, and added new vocals from Presley sound-alike Jimmy Ellis. [The "Collector ...

The 'Spoon Concerts

The 'Spoon Concerts (1989) more music like this

by Jimmy Witherspoon

This single CD (which reissues all of the music from an earlier two-LP set) includes the high point of singer Jimmy Witherspoon's career. On October 2, 1959, he appeared at the Monterey Jazz Festival and created such a sensation that it caused his career to go through a renaissance. Heard at the peak of his powers, Witherspoon holds his own with a ...

The Complete Folkways Recordings

The Complete Folkways Recordings (1967) more music like this

by Lonnie Johnson

The two-dozen solo performances on The Complete Folkways Recordings are from late (1967) in legendary guitarist Lonnie Johnson's amazing career, but they are chock-full of stellar moments all the same. Artists of Johnson's versatility were rare even then -- he brings a multitude of shadings to "My Mother's Eyes" and "How Deep Is the Ocean?," then ...

The Complete Vanguard Studio Recordings

The Complete Vanguard Studio Recordings (2001) more music like this

by Ian & Sylvia

It's good to have this four-CD box set of everything Ian & Sylvia did in the studio for Vanguard, as their valuable contributions to folk and folk-rock are (several decades later, anyway) underrated. There are a few things that could have been added to the package to make it more definitive, though. The set includes all of their first six albums, ...

Blues and the Soulful Truth

Blues and the Soulful Truth (1972) more music like this

by Leon Thomas

The late Leon Thomas was a vocalist who has proven to be influential among jazz and blues saxophonists, guitarists, and pianists, who've admitted their debt to his innovation. However, though there are many jazz and blues vocalists who have benefited from his style as well, he is seldom acknowledged for his highly original -- and idiosyncratic -- ...

Blues After Sunset

Blues After Sunset (1998) more music like this

by Henry Butler

The line of innovative New Orleans piano players who serve as conduits for fusing genres is continued with this release by Henry Butler. Here he approaches his music for the first time primarily as a blues performer, rather than as a jazz musician playing blues. He is an extraordinary performer who has put together all the years of growing up in ...

Trouble in Mind [Smithsonian/Folkways]

Trouble in Mind [Smithsonian/Folkways] (2000) more music like this

by Big Bill Broonzy

This is something of a best-of for Broonzy's Folkways recordings, done in 1956-57 near the end of his life, all featuring just his voice and his acoustic guitar (although Pete Seeger adds banjo to a live version of "This Train (Bound for Glory)"). Although Broonzy, who died in 1958 of throat cancer, was likely not in peak physical shape by this ...

Live [EMI-Capitol Special Markets]

Live [EMI-Capitol Special Markets] (2000) more music like this

by Jerry Lee Lewis

An unidentified and undated live concert that aurally sounds like a radio broadcast from a late-'70s outing. It's well recorded and Jerry Lee is in decent cruise-control mode, rocking out when he needs to, but certainly not the caliber of Live at the Star Club or Greatest Live Show on Earth, two of the strongest live albums by anyone . The ...

On Stage: February 1970 (1970) more music like this

by Elvis Presley

Elvis' second live album, partly cut at the International Hotel in Las Vegas in early 1970 , is one of his most unfairly underrated releases. In its original form, it did seem a bit cheap, offering ten songs that weren't necessarily associated with Elvis Presley. By this time, he was adding covers of other artists' contemporary hits to his set, ...

Swing Street Café (1978) more music like this

by Joe Sample with David T. Walker

This album is one of keyboardist Joe Sample's more interesting solo dates. He pays tribute to vintage R&B with performances of such soulful tunes as "Hallelujah, I Love Her So," "Rockhouse," "C.C. Rider" and "After Hours." Assisted by guitarist David T. Walker, bassist James Jamerson, drummer Earl Palmer and several horn players (including tenor ...

Front Porch Blues (1999) more music like this

by John Jackson

Just as the title says: a wonderful brace of simple country blues done in Jackson's warm Piedmont style. At age 75, his fingers are still nimble as he displays on a jazzy "Just Because" and his vocals still resonate nicely. Audiophile note: This album is nicely recorded and sounds like Jackson is performing about two inches from your face. A warm ...

Jazz Me Blues: The Best of Jimmy Witherspoon (1998) more music like this

by Jimmy Witherspoon

Whether this is truly the "best" of Witherspoon is debatable -- there's nothing predating 1956 -- however, it's a good 20-track sampling of 1956-1966 material, favoring (but not limited to) his sessions for Prestige. Witherspoon puts his imprint on a lot of blues/R&B classics -- "Good Rockin' Tonight," "Bad Bad Whiskey," "One Scotch, One Bourbon, ...

Live from Austin, TX (2007) more music like this

From the Live from Austin, TX series documenting performances from the syndicated Austin City Limits public television program comes this volume of Jerry Lee Lewis from October of 1973. According to Terry Lickona's liner notes, Lewis' wife had died a few weeks earlier in a very controversial swimming pool accident and he almost didn't make it. ...

Something You Got (1996) more music like this

by Chuck Jackson & Maxine Brown

All 20 of the duet tracks that Jackson recorded with Maxine Brown for the Wand label between 1965 and 1967, comprising the entirety of their two albums for the company. It's reasonable pop/soul, but not nearly as memorable as the best male-female soul duets of the era (like the ones by Marvin Gaye and various Motown partners, or by Otis Redding ...

Deep Water (1997) more music like this

by Hackberry Ramblers

The Hackberry Ramblers are among the very few popular musicians who seem to be reaching their peak well past Social Security age. Ramblers mainstay Luderin Darbone was in his early 80s when this was recorded, and the rest of the six-piece group (except for youthful drummer Ben Sandmel) doesn't look much younger, yet they continue to play with more ...

Confessin' the Blues (1976) more music like this

by Esther Phillips

Confessin' the Blues has translated to CD beautifully. The first seven numbers show off Esther Phillips doing sophisticated, big-band blues, backed by a small orchestra led by Onzy Matthews, giving direct and pointed yet elegant performances of "Confessin' the Blues," "I'm Gettin' 'Long Alright," and "C. C. Rider." The last four numbers, which ...
