A Ass Pocket of Whiskey

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 ...

Shake Hands With Shorty

Shake Hands With Shorty (2000) more music like this

by North Mississippi Allstars

Exploring the world of Mississippi modal juke-joint music, the duo, with bassist Chris Chew, come up with the freshest style to hit roots music in decades.

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, ...

Burnside on Burnside

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 ...

After Two But Before Five

After Two But Before Five (2007) more music like this

by Hillstomp

Recorded live over two nights in August 2006, After Two But Before Five offers a snapshot of a blues-rock band performing before an appreciative audience. A small unit, Hillstomp feature the electric guitar work and vocals of Henry Kammerer along with percussion and vocals of John Johnson and, on occasion, the harp work of Philip Guttman. Even ...

Stingray

Stingray (2003) more music like this

by Kenny Brown

Kenny Brown is definitely a bluesman. The man has served his apprenticeship with the best and usually hands out his guitar shingle with R.L. Burnside. But this outing finds him doing a great job of leading the band. Three songs come from Burnside ("Miss Maybelle," the frantic shuffle "Goin' Down South," and "Shake 'Em on Down"), while most of the ...

Well Well Well

Well Well Well (2001) more music like this

by R.L. Burnside

At first glance, this archival collection may appear to be too much of a hodgepodge. The recording dates range from 1986 to 1993; the locations range from a large theater in The Hague to a shotgun house in New Orleans; the lineups range from solo performances by Burnside to trio sessions with Jon Morris and Calvin Jackson; and the songs range from ...

Rough Guide to the Blues

Rough Guide to the Blues (2007) more music like this

by Various Artists

Full marks to the Rough Guide people -- with this release they've hit it very squarely on the head. If you want one definitive guide to the blues, this is it. Granted, not every major figure is here -- no Skip James or Furry Lewis, for example, or Tampa Red -- but this is as good as you're going to find on a single CD, ranging from the very early ...

Rhythm Room Blues

Rhythm Room Blues (2001) more music like this

by Various Artists

Released to celebrate and coincide with the tenth anniversary of the titular Phoenix blues club, this collection racks up 13 tracks from seven bluesmen, recorded live at the venue from 1994-2001. While various artist albums often fall short by mixing solid performances with less exemplary material, there are no duff cuts on this hour-plus ...

Love Is a Charm of Powerful Trouble

Love Is a Charm of Powerful Trouble (2003) more music like this

by The Immortal Lee County Killers

Since their 2001 debut, the Immortal Lee County Killers' brand of minimalist punk-blues has become somewhat of a hot commodity, mostly through the work of artists like the White Stripes and Soledad Brothers. On their second full-length, the Killers respond in kind by digging even deeper into the muddy, mysterious blues well. This is not to say ...

Not the Same Old Blues Crap, Vol. 2 (2001) more music like this

by Various Artists

It worked the first time around, so why not a second offering of Not the Same Old Blues Crap? For volume two, Fat Possum has patched together another riveting collection of hypnotic boogies, wailing guitars, and Mississippi moans -- but lo and behold, there's also a tender side to this album that may surprise both fans and critics of the label. ...

My Black Name A-Ringin' (1999) more music like this

by R.L. Burnside

R.L. Burnside has been playing the blues since the '50s, but providing for his large family (he would eventually have 13 children) and his love for his hometown kept him from supporting himself with his music until the '80s. These recordings were made in 1969 when blues musician Big Joe Williams led a carload of Adelphi Records filmmakers and ...

The Early Years (2006) more music like this

by North Mississippi Allstars

Although they may mix elements of hip-hop, classic metal, and alternative rock into their repertoire, the North Mississippi Allstars are really a power blues trio whose members lean heavily on the kind of Mississippi folk-blues numbers they learned firsthand from the likes of R.L. Burnside, Junior Kimbrough, and Othar Turner, an approach that has ...
