Live in Chicago

Live in Chicago (1999) more music like this

by Luther Allison

Pulled from performances at the Chicago Blues Festival, Buddy Guy's Legends club with a couple of strays recorded in Lincoln, NE, that were too good not to include, this two-disc set captures Allison at the absolute peak of his powers. Disc one is the Chicago Blues Festival in its entirety with a bonus track of Luther jamming on the finale with ...

It's My Life

It's My Life (2005) more music like this

by Eric Burdon

Although he doesn't have a marvel of a voice like Steve Winwood, Eric Burdon's expressive, blue collar baritone does have enough blood, sweat and grit in it to give his singing a kind of desperate realness, and he sounds more often than not like a man at the end of his rope spilling his life story as if it were flashing right then before his eyes. ...

Deluxe Edition

Deluxe Edition (1999) more music like this

by Hound Dog Taylor & the Houserockers

The music of Hound Dog Taylor & the HouseRockers remains the place where rock & roll and the blues meet at the end of a dark alley. A slide guitarist of the Elmore James school, Taylor played raw, nasty-sounding music long on energy and short on subtleties. Other blues guitarists used distortion before Taylor, but he explored it to depths only ...

Killer Diller

Killer Diller (2002) more music like this

by Shirley Johnson

Just as a bluegrass festival might attract a country singer who's too country for country radio, Chicago's blues scene is a good place to hear classic soul singing in the '60s/'70s sense. For decades, soul has been an important part of the menu in many of the Windy City's blues clubs -- Chicago is full of talented blues singers who are also ...

Hoodoo Moon

Hoodoo Moon (1994) more music like this

by Kenny Neal

Neal is one of the most impressive young blues artists on the scene today -- a fact borne out by the contents of this collection. Ably backed by a band that includes his brother Noel on bass and keyboardist Lucky Peterson, Neal indulges in a couple of covers this time, but the majority of the disc is original and incendiary. Bill Dahl, All Music ...

New York Blues and R&B 1947-1955

New York Blues and R&B 1947-1955 (2007) more music like this

by Sticks McGhee

This fascinating set is really the story of two brothers, Stick McGhee and Brownie McGhee, both of whom were guitarists (Brownie being good enough to actually work regularly as a session player). Stick recorded a song he had written, "Drinkin' Wine Spo-Dee-O-Dee," in 1947 (with his brother Brownie sitting in on guitar) for J. Mayo Williams' tiny ...

As Good As It Gets: Country Blues

As Good As It Gets: Country Blues (2000) more music like this

by Various Artists

For the most part, the Disky label's As Good As It Gets series lives up to its title, dividing early influential musical genres (gospel, cajun, hillbilly, jazz, etc.) into budget-priced two-disc samplers. As Good As It Gets: Country Blues includes 52 original classic performances from the likes of Big Bill Broonzy, Blind Willie McTell, Memphis ...

The Roots of the Grateful Dead

The Roots of the Grateful Dead (2001) more music like this

by Various Artists

The Grateful Dead drew deep from the well of American music to create their unique blend of folk rock. A menagerie of styles, blues, bluegrass, old-time country, and jug band music, formed a solid base for over thirty years of musical exploration. It will perhaps strike some people as odd, but many of the Grateful Dead's influences would be ...

The Story of Vee-Jay: America's Premier Black Music Label (2002) more music like this

by Various Artists

"America's Premier Black Music Label" says the small print on the front sleeve, and while that's highly disputable, Vee-Jay was undoubtedly one of America's premier black music labels from the mid-'50s to the mid-'60s. This two-CD, 50-song set is a strong and varied selection of their wares, focusing mostly but not exclusively on their hit singles ...

The Devil's Music (2003) more music like this

by TV Original Soundtrack

The Devil's Music is the three-disc soundtrack to a BBC television documentary on American blues that aired originally in 1976 at the height of the punk explosion in Britain. What makes this an important set are the many old blues artists captured here doing new live versions of their signature songs; and since many of them have since passed on, ...

Messin' with the Kid: The Chief/Profile/U.S.A. Sessions 1957-1963 (2003) more music like this

by Junior Wells

These three labels represent the earliest juke sides of Junior Wells recorded in Chicago. Sidemen on these sessions include Otis Spann, A.C. Reed, Syl Johnson, Popsy Dixon (currently drumming and singing with the fabulous Holmes Brothers), Earl Hooker, and Jack Myers. While it's true there isn't anything here that quite touches Hoodoo Man Blues, ...

He Used to Be an Animal [Castle] (2002) more music like this

by Eric Burdon

He Used to Be an Animal examines Eric Burdon's solo recordings from the '80s, including tracks from the 1980 documentary film soundtrack album Comeback and the 1985 live set That's Live, as well as six cuts from his 1988 album, I Used to Be an Animal. These 34 tracks should be more than adequate for listeners interested in going beyond Burdon's ...

Live at the Topanga Corral (1971) more music like this

by Canned Heat

This is one of the strongest documents to feature Canned Heat in concert. However, contrary to the title, these performances are not from the Topanga Corral -- where the Heat were the house band off and on during the mid-1960s. Instead, it was later revealed the origins were actually from a Los Angeles club called the Kaleidoscope circa 1968. ...

The Final Sessions: New York 1963 (2006) more music like this

by Elmore James

The various white lead guitar gods who began to garner so much critical press during the rock explosion of the late '60s owe more than a lot to Elmore James. While working as a radio repairman in the early '50s, James spent hours rewiring speakers and amplifiers so that they would deliver the kind of harsh and distorted sound he favored when he ...

Blues: Slide Guitar Wizard, Chicago 1931-1946 (2004) more music like this

by Tampa Red

One of the greatest slide guitarists of the early blues era, and a man with an odd fascination with the kazoo, Tampa Red also fancied himself a piano player, and by the mid-'40s he was playing electric guitar and cutting tracks that were proto-templates for the electric Chicago blues sound, although a bit more reined-in and refined. This two-disc ...
