Degüello

Degüello (1979) more music like this

by ZZ Top

ZZ Top returned after an extended layoff in late 1979 with Degüello, their best album since 1973's Tres Hombres. During their time off, ZZ Top didn't change much -- hell, their sound never really changed during their entire career -- but it did harden, in a way. The grooves became harder, sleeker, and their off-kilter sensibility and humor began ...

Live at the Electric Ballroom, 1974

Live at the Electric Ballroom, 1974 (1996) more music like this

by Freddie King

This Atlanta concert wasn't issued in recorded form for two decades. Archival releases of this sort tend to be for collectors only, but this is a cut above the standard. The sound is very good, the band is pretty tight, and Freddie King solos with fire and sings with conviction, sticking mostly to covers of warhorses like "Dust My Broom," "Key to ...

Getting Ready...

Getting Ready... (1971) more music like this

by Freddie King

The first of Freddie King's three albums for Leon Russell's Shelter label set the tone for his work for the company: competent electric blues with a prominent rock/soul influence. King sings and plays well, but neither the sidemen nor the material challenge him to scale significant heights. Part of the problem is that King himself wrote none of ...

Chicago/The Blues/Today!

Chicago/The Blues/Today! (1999) more music like this

by Various Artists

In early 1966, blues history was made with the issuance of a three-volume set of new recordings produced by blues historian Samuel Charters. This series was known as Chicago/The Blues/Today! and the release sent shock waves through the world of rock & roll. Every artist on the three volumes had recorded before (some, like Otis Rush and Junior ...

King Biscuit Time (1989) more music like this

by Sonny Boy Williamson II

King Biscuit Time features Sonny Boy's early Trumpet sides from 1951. The original "Eyesight to the Blind," "Nine Below Zero" and "Mighty Long Time" are Sonny Boy at his very best. Added bonuses include Williamson backing Elmore James on his original recording of "Dust My Broom" and a live KFFA broadcast from 1965. Cub Koda, All Music Guide

Bad News Is Coming

Bad News Is Coming (1973) more music like this

by Luther Allison

The very thing that made Luther Allison noteworthy became an albatross around his neck. Years after his initial run of records in the '70s, he was known for the same thing he was at the time -- he was the only blues artist on Gordy, or any Motown affiliated label. This was true and novel, but many focused on the novelty, not the truth, ignoring ...

Beware of the Dog

Beware of the Dog (1975) more music like this

by Hound Dog Taylor & the Houserockers

Beware of the Dog was Hound Dog Taylor's posthumous live album containing performances that are even steamier than his first two studio albums, if such a notion is possible. For lowdown slow blues, it's hard to beat the heartfelt closer "Freddie's Blues," and for surreal moments on wax, it's equally hard to beat the funkhouse-turned-loony bin ...

Human Condition Revisited/I Used to Be Mad! (But Now I'm Half Crazy) (2006) more music like this

by Canned Heat/Henry Vestine

Canned Heat's 1978 release, Human Condition, was an important one in the band's overall discography, as it was the last studio effort to feature original singer Bob Hite fronting the band (Hite would pass away in 1981). In 2006, the album was expanded with a pair of live tracks from 1985 and retitled Human Condition Revisited, and was packaged as ...

Freddie's Blues (1994) more music like this

by Hound Dog Taylor & the Houserockers

This is the third volume of live recordings from Joe's Place in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1972. Six of the 11 tunes here are instrumentals (four of them featuring the lead guitar of Brewer Phillips), and while Taylor and the Houserockers are generally in rare form here, some chaotic moments ("Let's Get Funky") do abound, but that's half the fun ...

The Real Blues (1998) more music like this

by Taj Mahal

The title of Sony Special Products' The Real Blues may not have any real meaning -- after all, this is merely a sampler that features both covers of classic blues tunes and originals -- but the end result in an entertaining collection that highlights Taj Mahal's skills as an interpreter, as well as his easygoing charm. For curious, budget-minded ...

The Blues Never Die! (1969) more music like this

by Otis Spann

Boasting fellow Chicago blues dynamo James Cotton on both harmonica and lead vocals, The Blues Never Die! is one of Otis Spann's most inspired albums. When this session was recorded for Prestige's Bluesville subsidiary in 1964, Spann was still best known for playing acoustic piano in Muddy Waters' band. But The Blues Never Die! (which Fantasy ...

Crucial Live Blues (2004) more music like this

by Various Artists

Blues, like jazz, is often at its most striking in a live setting, where the interplay between the musicians and the feedback from the audience serves to push things to a high edge. This explosive collection from Alligator Records gathers 13 live tracks from an assortment of players, and there really isn't a slack cut here. Koko Taylor's "Going ...

Taj's Blues (1992) more music like this

by Taj Mahal

Taj's Blues is an entertainingly diverse record, featuring a variety of blues and roots-music styles, all fused together into a distinctive sound of its own. Half of the album is played on acoustic, the other with an electric band (which includes guitarists Ry Cooder and Jesse Davis on a handful of tracks), which gives a pretty good impression of ...

BBC Sessions (1999) more music like this

by The Yardbirds

Over the years, the Yardbirds' performances for the BBC have been the focus of various bootlegs. But BBC Sessions is no bootleg. Assembled by Warner Bros. in 1997, this rewarding CD is a very legal collection of BBC material that spans 1965-1968. When the Yardbirds performed for various BBC radio programs, they did not have the luxury of ...

Best of Southern Blues (2003) more music like this

by Various Artists

It's a bit absurd to think that this brief ten-song collection actually features the best of Southern blues, although all of the tracks included are certainly good ones, particularly Lightnin' Hopkins' "Found My Baby Crying," a loping version of Elmore James doing his signature "Dust My Broom" and a powerful "My Baby" by Lowell Fulson. Throw in ...

Best of Canned Heat [Disky] (1999) more music like this

Disky's Best of Canned Heat collection combines all original material taken from their most popular late- '60s Liberty albums: Boogie With Canned Heat, Future Blues, and Canned Heat. The most obvious of their well-loved hippie blues tracks are here, including "On the Road Again," "Going Up the Country," "Fried Hockey Boogie," and "Let's Work ...

Sooner or Later (1968) more music like this

by John Hammond

Like several of Hammond's early albums, this 1968 effort would ultimately sound less impressive than it did at the time, simply because the original versions of the ten songs Hammond covered would become much more accessible. The material selected did testify to his good taste, but also stuck to the tried-and-true, including classics like "Dust My ...

Mojo: The Best of Muddy Waters Live!, 1971-1976 (2000) more music like this

This compilation was assembled from three live performances, two in the Northwest in 1971, and one in Switzerland in April 1976. There are already several live Muddy Waters albums available, including some recorded during this era. Not only that, the 74-minute program does not exactly offer much in the way of surprising repertoire: "Rollin' and ...

Memphis Barbecue Sessions (2002) more music like this

by Big Jack Johnson & Kim Wilson

This album is a joy indeed -- a journey inside the blues and down the Mississippi Delta. Johnson's always been an expressive singer, and in such a stripped-down setting his voice becomes more important than ever on classics like "Smokestack Lightning" and "My Babe." His guitar work offers the ideal backdrop, too, never fancy, but juke-joint ...
