Paul Rishell & Annie Raines
The team of guitarist Paul Rishell and Annie Raines on harmonica (both sing) is so appealing that their acoustic duets make the occasional guests (and electrification of the music) seem unnecessary although Ronnie Earl gets in a few good guitar solos. Five originals by the Rishell/Raines team fit right in with songs by the likes of Blind Boy ...

Robert Nighthawk
Recorded by Norman Dayron live on the street (you can actually hear cars driving by!) in 1964 with just Robert Whitehead on drums and Johnny Young on rhythm guitar in support, Nighthawk's slide playing (and single string soloing, for that matter) are nothing short of elegant and explosive. Highlights include "The Maxwell Street Medley," which ...

John Mayall's Bluesbreakers w/Peter Green
Some John Mayall fans might be disappointed to find that the radically expanded two-CD edition of A Hard Road actually includes no previously unreleased material, even though it tacks on a whopping 22 additional tracks. It's more a complete document of the Bluesbreakers' recordings with Peter Green, of which A Hard Road was just the most prominent ...

J.B. Lenoir
One of These Mornings was recorded in 1962 at J.B. Lenoir's Chicago home. Willie Dixon recorded these tunes as an audition tape with the intention of getting Lenoir on the burgeoning European blues packages. These 16 tracks, amazing as they are, are better suited to the hardcore collector due to poor sound quality. While Dixon doesn't play bass on ...

This double CD from Castle combines two very different aspects of an outrageously complex man and artist. In order to display John Mayall's commitment to a band's development on the road, Rockin' the Roadshow combines one disc of live performances from the early '70s, with two different bands, one that included Harvey Mandel, Don "Sugarcane" ...

by
J.B. Lenoir
With his exuberant and edgy high-pitched vocals, coupled with a sharp, literate writing style, J.B. Lenoir had as singular a vision of the blues as anyone who ever worked in the genre. What is perhaps his best work was done for the Parrot label in 1954 and 1955, sessions that yielded many of his finest songs. Working with twin saxes and the ...

Eric Clapton is usually thought of as John Mayall's most important right-hand man, but the case could also be made for his successor, Peter Green. The future Fleetwood Mac founder leaves a strong stamp on his only album with the Bluesbreakers, singing a few tracks and writing a couple, including the devastating instrumental "Supernatural."

The tracks on this fascinating collection come from the early '50s when the blues was only a half step removed from its rural origins, and although most of the artists on The Devil Is a Busy Man lived and recorded in big cities, almost all of them began their blues careers in the Deep South, retaining that ragged, unhinged country juke joint sound ...

In retrospect, J.B. Lenoir's finest albums are the last two he recorded before his death in 1967, Alabama Blues (1965) and Down in Mississippi (1966) (both are combined on an absolutely essential single disc from Evidence called Vietnam Blues), which together outlined the path Lenoir hoped the blues would take.
