Love Scenes

Love Scenes (1997) more music like this

by Diana Krall

Vocalist/pianist Diana Krall was a very hot property by the time this Impulse CD was released. Teamed in a trio with her regular guitarist Russell Malone and bassist Christian McBride, Krall here mostly emphasizes ballads having something to do with love. She is at her best on "I Don't Know Enough About You," "I Don't Stand a Ghost of a Chance ...

Walking on a Tightrope

Walking on a Tightrope (1989) more music like this

by Johnny Adams

Whenever Johnny Adams does a repertory album, it's as much his own showcase as a forum for the spotlighted composer. Even Percy Mayfield's lyrically brilliant works didn't hamper Adams from displaying his special magic; his treatments on the session's ten tunes ranged from excellent to magnificent. Adams was gripping on "My Heart Is Hangin' Heavy, ...

Greatest Hits

Greatest Hits (1988) more music like this

by Mose Allison

Basic, no-frills anthology of 13 of his better late-'50s Prestige sides, all of which feature his vocals. It has most of his most famous songs, particularly to listeners from a rock background, including his versions of "The Seventh Son," "Eyesight to the Blind" (covered by the Who on Tommy, though Sonny Boy Williamson did it before Allison), ...

There Goes the Neighborhood

There Goes the Neighborhood (1998) more music like this

by Roomful of Blues

At the end of 1997, several members left the band, leaving their ranks decimated. But the remaining members brought in new blood, regrouped, and opened up their musical outlook to start auditioning new material (rather than just covering old standards and obscure items), and 1998 saw the new Roomful of Blues hit the racks and the road. New ...

Texas Gold/Wheelin' & Dealin' (2002) more music like this

by Asleep at the Wheel

This two-fer from Acadia features a pair of out of print Asleep at the Wheel LPs, Texas Gold and Wheelin' and Dealin', both originally issued on Capitol in 1975 and 1976.

Lessons in Living

Lessons in Living (1982) more music like this

by Mose Allison

Recorded in a live setting in 1982 -- the same year as his Middle Class White Boy album -- Lessons in Living is a mixed bag. The material is terrific, and Mose Allison is in typically fine form. The issue lies more with the "all-star" band assembled for the date: bassist Jack Bruce, drummer Billy Cobham, and soloists Eric Gale (guitarist) and Lou ...

The Word from Mose Allison

The Word from Mose Allison (1964) more music like this

by Mose Allison

This iconoclastic performer has sometimes been described as a country blues player, perhaps leading to images of a blind man standing on a corner playing a guitar with a bottleneck slide. In reality, Mose Allison is from a much more cosmopolitan tradition, and the country blues adage comes from attempts to describe the sound he gets playing light, ...

Local Color

Local Color (1957) more music like this

by Mose Allison

This CD reissue brings back Mose Allison's second of six Prestige recordings. Allison performs eight instrumentals in a trio with bassist Addison Farmer and drummer Nick Stabulas, displaying his unusual mixture of country blues and bebop and even taking an effective trumpet solo on "Trouble In Mind." However it is his vocals on "Lost Mind" and ...

Sweet & Swingin'

Sweet & Swingin' (1998) more music like this

by Sugar Ray Norcia

After fronting Roomful Of Blues for a half dozen years, Sugar Ray Norcia released this solo collection of tunes that range from bar-band favorites to material he claims he always wanted to record. Far from being just a retro blues album, Norcia digs deep and comes up with nice versions of Arthur Alexander's "You Better Move On" (one of two songs ...

That's Alright! (2007) more music like this

by Stompy Jones

Stompy Jones, a two-horn quintet plus singer Chris Binnings, romps their way through honking saxophone features, Louis Jordan-type pieces, bits of retro swing, some Earl Bostic, and plenty of heated and explosive jump jazz. This is the type of music that was popular just prior to rock & roll and Stompy Jones sounds quite authentic, boasts superior ...

Wheelin' & Dealin' (1976) more music like this

by Asleep at the Wheel

Combining old-fashioned swing, western swing, country ballads, Cajun and good ol' rock & roll, Asleep at the Wheel turns a wonderful performance on Wheelin' and Dealin'. Highlights include "Route 66," done in fine rockabilly style, "Cajun Stripper," full of fiddles and accordions, "The Trouble with Lovin' Today," a real country tearjerker, and the ...

Poet of the Blues (1990) more music like this

by Percy Mayfield

The insightful songwriting skills of this West Coaster were matched by his wry, plaintive vocal delivery (Mayfield was usually his own best interpreter). The 25 sides here date from his hit-laden 1950-1954 stay at Art Rupe's Specialty logo and include his universal lament "Please Send Me Someone to Love," and the resolutely downbeat "Strange ...

Voice Within (1999) more music like this

by Percy Mayfield

Percy Mayfield is known equally for a string of hits he penned and recorded form 1950-1952. After a nasty accident that left him permanently disfigured he shied away from public performance, but continued to record, and became Ray Charles' right-hand man as a songwriter (anyone remember a little ditty called "Hit the Road Jack"?). But Mayfield's ...

Mood Indigo (1996) more music like this

by The New Orleans C.A.C. Orchestra

On this enjoyable CD, singers George French, Germaine Bazzle (whose deep voice takes some getting used to) and Johnny Adams get first billing, taking two to four songs apiece and sharing "Mood Indigo" and a blues medley. However, it is the New Orleans Contemporary Arts Center Jazz Orchestra that is the real star. Fortunately, the band has plenty ...

Allison Wonderland: Anthology (1994) more music like this

by Mose Allison

Only Dave Frishberg and possibly Mark Murphy can rival Mose Allison when it comes to creative use of irony in lyric writing, and neither compares as an instrumentalist. He's a fine bop pianist able to play challenging instrumentals and eclectic enough to integrate country blues and gospel elements into his style. Allison's unique mix of down-home ...

Devil's Music (1999) more music like this

by Paul Geremia

This release by a master of the acoustic blues guitar and the 12 string blues guitar will earn him even more accolades from his peers. He is considered by other bluesmen as the man at the top of this form and getting even better with each outing. He has grown from his folk roots, and instead of just doing songs of the long-gone masters, he writes ...
