The Complete Vanguard Recordings and More

The Complete Vanguard Recordings and More (2001) more music like this

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 ...

Where We Walked (1966-1970)

Where We Walked (1966-1970) (1991) more music like this

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

Crosscurrents

Crosscurrents (1969) more music like this

by Danny Kalb and Stefan Grossman

Originally released in 1969, Crosscurrents is the meeting of two very different guitarists collaborating on the blues and other folk forms. This is deep American white music played with character, innocence, and instrumental acumen. Danny Kalb was one of the co-founders of the Blues Project and a brilliant if underacknowledged guitarist. Stefan ...

Amsterdam Live Concerts 1953

Amsterdam Live Concerts 1953 (2006) more music like this

by Big Bill Broonzy

There's no shortage of live and studio recordings from Big Bill Broonzy's European appearances during the '50s -- if not as common as Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee live sets, they are out there. That said, this two-CD set is still a dazzling addition to Broonzy's discography, on technical as well as musical grounds. It not only captures him on ...

1937-1940, Vol. 2

1937-1940, Vol. 2 (2005) more music like this

by Big Bill Broonzy

The second volume in JSP's Big Bill Broonzy retrospective is four discs long, covering the bluesman's years in Chicago and New York. What is astonishing is that there are 100 tracks here. While it's true that there are many alternate takes for the sake of the historical record, nonetheless, when combined with volume one, this accounts for a ...

Shake 'Em on Down

Shake 'Em on Down (2000) more music like this

by David "Honeyboy" Edwards

This 1999 session finds Honeyboy working his acoustic magic in the company of Madison Slim on harmonica and Jimmy D. Lane, son of the late Jimmy Rogers, on second guitar. Recorded at the Blue Heaven Studios (a converted church) in Salina, Kansas, this is a pretty inspired session with Edwards running through old classics like Charlie Patton's ...

Complete Recorded Works, Vol. 8 (1938-1939) (1992) more music like this

by Big Bill Broonzy

Big Bill Broonzy's popularity continued to rise during the five months covered by this CD (the eighth of 11) in Document's "complete" Broonzy series. In addition to 21 studio sides (five previously unissued) made in Chicago, Broonzy is heard performing "Done Got Wise" and "Louise, Louise" at John Hammond's "Spirituals to Swing" concert at Carnegie ...

Complete Recorded Works, Vol. 6 (1937) (1992) more music like this

by Big Bill Broonzy

1937 was a busy year for Big Bill Broonzy, who was turning 44. A greatly in-demand blues guitarist in Chicago, Broonzy was also an underrated singer and a major solo artist. This CD from the Austrian Document label (the sixth of 11 that trace his entire prewar recording career) includes 26 selections with plenty of alternate takes and nine ...

The History of Northwest Rock, Vol. 2 (1978) more music like this

by Various Artists

Another erratic if basically worthwhile collection of Northwest '60s rock. There are a couple of hits (Paul Revere's "Kicks," Ian Whitcomb's "You Turn Me On"), but the rest is given over to obscurities by the likes of Don & the Goodtimes, the Bards, the Kingsmen, and the Springfield Rifle, as well as little-known tracks by Revere and the Sonics. ...

Men of Blues (1998) more music like this

by Various Artists

This curious three-disc box set mixes in old blues 78s with latter rediscovery recordings to form a rather random, but pleasantly cohesive (if somewhat cursory) introduction to early blues. The wide variety of styles here is impressive, though, ranging from the guttural roars of Charley Patton and Son House, through the highly personalized blues ...

Big Bill Blues: His 23 Greatest Hit Songs 1927-1942 (2004) more music like this

by Big Bill Broonzy

Exactly what it says -- a veritable greatest-hits collection that showcases just why Big Bill Broonzy is one of the most important blues figures ever. To be fair, the very early material either hasn't cleaned up well, or not a lot of money has been invested in technical work, and some of the sides are barely listenable because of scratches. But, ...

On Tour in Britain, 1952: Live in England and Scotland (2002) more music like this

by Big Bill Broonzy

There are plenty of Big Bill Broonzy albums on the market, but this one is definitely a little special, as it's taken from his first trip to England, where a small but enthusiastic group of fans saw him play on tour. For most, it was their first live exposure to real American blues, certainly of the Mississippi Delta variety, and Broonzy didn't ...

You Gotta Have Moxie, Vol. 2 (1999) more music like this

by Various Artists

Volume two of AIP's trawl through the Moxie label's catalog is not as good as its predecessor and is closer to the garage anthology norm. That's probably random, rather than the result of the quality of the selection process, since this (like Vol. One) is presented in alphabetical order of artist names, picking up (at "E") where the first ...

The Chronological Big Bill Broonzy 1951-1952 (2005) more music like this

by Big Bill Broonzy

The second in a series presenting Big Bill Broonzy's complete recorded output in chronological order, this set covers 1951 and 1952 and features the guitarist and singer in mostly solo acoustic mode, including yet another version of his signature "Baby Please Don't Go" as well as a surprisingly sleek take on "Bill Bailey" and turns on various folk ...
