The Real Folk Blues/More Real Folk Blues
(2002)
more music like this
by
Howlin' Wolf
The Real Folk Blues series on Chess wasn't really folk, but titled that way, perhaps to gain the attention of young white listeners who had started to get turned on to the blues during the 1960s folk revival. And the Howlin' Wolf volumes in the series were not particularly more folk-oriented than his other Chess recordings, but more or less ...

The Complete Vanguard Recordings and More

by
Siegel-Schwall Band
Is a three-CD set of the Siegel-Schwall Band -- including all four of their Vanguard albums (spanning 1966-1970) in their entirety, along with six previously unissued cuts -- too much to take at once? In a word, yes. If you're a blues-rock history nut, though -- and there must be some such listeners out there -- it is a handy collection that ...

by
The Yardbirds
Five Live Yardbirds was the first important -- indeed, essential -- live album to come out of the 1960s British rock & roll boom. In terms of the performance captured and the recording quality, it was also the best such live record of the entire middle of the decade. Cut at a Marquee Club show in 1964 , Five Live Yardbirds was a popular album, ...

by
Willie Mabon
Chicago Blues Session! features a session pianist Willie Mabon cut on Independence Day 1979 with guitarist Hubert Sumlin, guitarist Eddie Taylor, bassist Aron Burton and drummer Casey Jones. The album was originally released on the German L&R label, mainly because American labels were shunning the blues. That could be the only reason this album ...

Where We Walked (1966-1970)

by
Siegel Schwall Band
A very nice, fairly thorough, compilation that supersedes the old vinyl collection on several levels; nice mastering, better notes, and nicer selection. For a basic introduction to their sound, this one's hard to beat. Cub Koda, All Music Guide

His Best, Vol. 2
(1999)
more music like this
by
Howlin' Wolf
Where Chess' two-volume Muddy Waters anthology His Best was divided according to chronological guidelines, the Howlin' Wolf series of the same name follows a different pattern. His Best, Vol. 1 contained all of the Wolf's best-known songs -- as if the label never planned a sequel. Consequently, when it came time to assemble Vol. 2, they had two ...

The Real Folk Blues
(1966)
more music like this
by
Howlin' Wolf
This was originally released by Chess in 1966 to capitalize on the then-current folk music boom. The music, however -- a collection of Howlin' Wolf singles from 1956 to 1966 -- is full-blown electric, featuring a nice sampling of Wolf originals with a smattering of Willie Dixon tunes. Some of the man's best middle period work is aboard here; ...

The somewhat misleadingly-named Great Eric Clapton & the Yardbirds gathers three discs' worth of the Yardbirds' output, including highlights from Clapton's and Jeff Beck's stints with the band. The set features obvious choices like "For Your Love," "Evil Hearted You," "Heart Full of Soul," "Train Kept A-Rollin'" and "Shapes of Things" as well as ...

by
The Yardbirds
Any modern (i.e., post-'80s) remastered version of the basic concert document Five Live Yardbirds is worth hearing, but there are a lot of choices out there. This Japanese reissue of this CD, from JVC, is actually less ambitious in some ways than the European Repertoire Records or the Fuel 2000/Varese Saraband domestic U.S. reissue. The original ...

There are no shortage of quality Yardbirds retrospectives, but this 1999 release from the Recall label is pretty stacked. It's got 36 tracks spread over two CDs that include the classics ("Shapes of Things," "For Your Love," "I'm a Man," etc.), various covers and eight live tracks, but is pretty scant on liner notes. Rhino's 50-track Ultimate! is ...

This three-CD box set currently rates as the best -- and most digestible -- overview of Howlin' Wolf's career.

Eric Clapton
The whole Clapton Is God thing back in the 1960s was a bit ridiculous and no doubt a source of embarrassment for Eric Clapton, but the fact remains that he was a dedicated blues enthusiast and a passionate guitar session player early in his career, as this handy two-disc set shows. Including a variety of early sides Clapton did with the likes of ...
