The Anthology: 1947-1972

by
Muddy Waters
There have been countless collections of Muddy Waters' classic Chess material released over the years, but Chess began to whittle down the domestic catalog toward the late '90s. The triple-disc Chess box remained in print, but they added two single-disc collections that each covered a specific period in Waters' career at Chess. Then, in 2001, MCA ...

While the Blasters called it quits in 1986 after Hard Line failed to break through to the mass audience, it was only a few years later that lead singer Phil Alvin brought the band back, though without the participation of his kid brother, Dave Alvin, who played guitar with the Blasters and wrote their most memorable songs. For years, Phil Alvin ...

Joe Beard
Although Joe Beard is a country-based bluesman and fellow guitarist Ronnie Earl (who brought along his Broadcasters for this set) is strictly city, they work together quite well. The emphasis is often on Beard's expressive vocals (which sometimes look toward John Lee Hooker and Lightnin' Hopkins but display their own personality). Beard and Earl ...

The Vol. 2 designation of this limited-edition double CD may confuse some people, who might reasonably wonder where "Vol. 1" is. Actually, "Vol. 1" was Rollin' Stone: The Golden Anniversary Collection, which came out as a regular retail release in stores and covered Muddy Waters' complete recorded output from 1947 through September of 1952. ...

by
Muddy Waters
It's been a while since we've seen any unreleased material from Muddy Waters. You've heard all of this before, but the clarity of the sound, and the fact that Waters seems in pretty good spirits, playing with a crack band, makes The Lost Tapes an essential addition to any blues lover's collection, and a must buy for Waters devotees. The band is ...

Take the album at hand, In My Own Dream by the Paul Butterfield Blues Band -- their fourth official release (though two others have since gone into their discography at earlier points), it marked the ...

Buddy Guy & Junior Wells
A fair-to-middling-quality tape of Buddy and Junior doing a typical set in the mid-'70s. The lineup of Jack Meyers (bass), Fred Below (drums), and Donald Hankins (baritone sax) is nigh perfect, and always in the pocket, and hearing Buddy do "Satisfaction" is one of the more surreal experiences on here. If this were even of soundboard quality, it ...

The Real Folk Blues/More Real Folk Blues [MCA]

more music like this
by
Muddy Waters
Waters' The Real Folk Blues and More Real Folk Blues, combined here onto one CD, were not exactly random collections of tracks -- the quality was too consistently high for them to just have been picked out of a hat. Still, it was a pretty arbitrary grouping of items that he recorded between 1947 and 1964. In fact, they hail from throughout his ...
