Alone & Acoustic

Alone & Acoustic (1991) more music like this

by Buddy Guy/Junior Wells

The classic pairing of Buddy Guy and Junior Wells has been captured many times on vinyl, cassette, and disc over the years, but rarely with such intimacy and subtle, restrained energy as on this wonderful collection. Buddy Guy plays mostly 12 string guitar, and Junior laces his signature lines through the songs, engaging Guy in the kind of musical ...

Lackawanna Blues (2005) more music like this

by Original Soundtrack

The soundtrack companion to an HBO film directed by George C. Wolf and based on Ruben Santiago-Hudson's acclaimed one man show (Santiago-Hudson wrote the screenplay adaptation and appears in the film) about a black youth coming of age in upstate New York in the early 1960s, Lackawanna Blues mixes new material by Mos Def, Robert Bradley and Macy ...

Triple Scoop

Triple Scoop (2002) more music like this

by Monty Alexander/Ray Brown/Herb Ellis

One might be led into believing that the title Triple Scoop refers to the players who comprise this trio: pianist Monty Alexander, bassist Ray Brown, and guitarist Herb Ellis. While this would be a reasonable guess, the "Triple" actually refers to the three titles -- Triple Treat, Triple Treat, Vol. 2, and Triple Treat, Vol. 3 -- recorded by this ...

Crucial Acoustic Blues

Crucial Acoustic Blues (2007) more music like this

by Various Artists

Alligator Records shows a different side of its house-rocking face on this 13-cut collection of acoustic blues. While Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson and Bukka White don't appear here, other performers -- some of whom one normally associates with overdriven electricity -- are. Buddy Guy is present, as is Stevie Ray Vaughan. Koko Taylor's "The Man ...

Riding the Curve

Riding the Curve (1998) more music like this

by Randy Johnston

Further asserting himself as a premier jazz guitarist, Johnston presents his fifth recording as leader, the second with organist Joey DeFrancesco (the first was In-A-Chord). Idris Muhammad plays the drums with usual aplomb, and tenor saxophone legend Johnny Griffin shows up on two cuts. Johnston does a little bit of everything on this one. There's ...

The Case of the 3 Sided Dream in Audio Color

The Case of the 3 Sided Dream in Audio Color (1975) more music like this

by Rahsaan Roland Kirk

Perhaps I am an apologist for Rahsaan Roland Kirk, I don't know. If I am then I should be smacked, because he needed no one to make apologies for him. The Case of the 3-Sided Dream in Audio Color is a case in point. The namby-pamby jazz critics, those "serious" guys who look for every note to be in order before they'll say anything positive, can ...

The In Crowd Anthology

The In Crowd Anthology (2006) more music like this

by Ramsey Lewis

A two-CD anthology of Ramsey Lewis' Chess recordings might seem excessive, but considering how much material he cut for the label in the '60s, The In Crowd Anthology is actually fairly selective. Certainly it's good value, with 39 tracks and a running time of two-hours-and-twenty minutes. As for consistency of style and quality, that's another ...

The Platinum Collection

The Platinum Collection (2007) more music like this

by Eddie Floyd

As a songwriter, producer, and performer, Eddie Floyd made regular visits to the R&B charts from the mid-'60s through the mid-'70s while he was a part of the legendary Stax Records family. Floyd was originally hired by Stax as a writer and, paired with MG's guitarist Steve Cropper, he wrote several hits for the label, including one for himself, ...

In 2002, Ace released Cold Shot!/For Adults Only, which contained two albums -- Cold Shot! (1969, originally released on Sonet) and For Adults Only -- by Johnny Otis on one compact disc. Gregory McIntosh, All Music Guide

Cold Shot!

Cold Shot! (1969) more music like this

by The Johnny Otis Show

Though Otis' 1969 album wasn't much different from the straightforward R&B he'd been doing for years, it did have some updated rock, soul, and funk influences, due in large part to the presence of his teenage guitarist son, Shuggie Otis. The band is tight and the vocals OK, but it's on the ordinary side as far as such music goes, even if the stew ...

Where It's At (1991) more music like this

by The Holmes Brothers

Their second release contained 11 more wonderful tunes that easily moved from surging R&B to rousing blues with an occasional venture into gospel or country. They covered "Drown In My Own Tears" and "High Heel Sneakers" and had the requisite qualities for each one down pat, as well as "Never Let Me Go, " "The Love You Save" and "I Saw The Light." ...

Chess Pieces: The Very Best of Chess (2005) more music like this

by Various Artists

Although Chess Records is generally regarded as a blues label, the imprint, owned and run by brothers Leonard and Phil Chess, actually released a fair amount of R&B, early soul, gospel, nascent rock & roll, and the occasional jazz title, and as this powerful two-disc set shows, the range of classic music that came out of the label's Chicago ...

Pepper's Hangout (2000) more music like this

by Jimmy Johnson

It's always sad when, for whatever reason, a worthwhile recording goes unreleased for a long time -- and that's exactly what happened with Pepper's Hangout. On March 29, 1977, a 48-year-old Jimmy Johnson entered a Chicago studio and recorded what was meant to be his first studio LP as a leader. The LP had a working title of "Chicago Roots," and ...

Mojo Workout (2000) more music like this

by Paul Revere & the Raiders

Though this is to the Raiders later, greater catalog what With the Beatles is to Revolver, it's another piece of hard evidence that the Pacific Northwest was the tough, balls-out, kicking-and-screaming early-'60s rock & roll region of America. Again, long before and right through the onslaught of the British Invasion, these guys and their bill ...

Legends of Rock: Rockabilly Superstars (1999) more music like this

by Various Artists

Legends of Rock: Rockabilly Superstars may feature original rockabilly stars Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis, but their tracks are rerecordings, not the original hit versions; the remainder of the lineup consists of latter-day rockabilly revivalists like Toy Caldwell, Robert Gordon, and Steve Forbert.

The Chambers Brothers' second album, Now! was not wholly representative of what the concurrent combo -- consisting of siblings George Chambers (bass/vocals), Willie Chambers (guitar/vocals), Lester Chambers (harmonica/vocals), and Joe Chambers (guitar/vocals), as well as Jesse Cahn (drums) -- sounded like when this platter actually came out in ...

The Best of the Concord Years (2002) more music like this

by Ray Brown

Ray Brown was in at the beginning of the Concord Jazz record label in the early '70s, and starting with Brown's Bag in 1975, he recorded a dozen albums as a leader for Concord before departing for Telarc Records in the early '90s. This two-disc compilation, with a running time of almost two hours and 20 minutes, presents 24 selections drawn from ...

This compilation, made up of duets between various all-star blues artists, is an interesting idea that unfortunately doesn't deliver. The blues' most famous partnerships (Buddy Guy & Junior Wells, Shirley & Lee, Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee) are represented, along with a slew of one-off singles pairing Ella Fitzgerald with Louis Jordan, Big Mama ...

Recorded at the sessions that resulted in Triple Treat II, this Concord release follows the same format with the trio of pianist Monty Alexander, guitarist Herb Ellis and bassist Ray Brown being joined by violinst John Frigo for around half of the selections.
