Tab Benoit
Tab Benoit's funky, ragged blend of Louisiana swamp blues and East Texas guitar, with hints of funk, soul, and country thrown in to give the gumbo just the right spice, has served him well since he burst on the scene in the early '90s. Since Benoit hasn't essentially changed his sound since, this collection of sides made up largely from his early ...

Tab Benoit
This is a strong statement by Tab Benoit announcing his true arrival; although he only wrote five of the 13 songs on this disc, he stakes a legitimate claim to all of them with some of his most inspired playing and singing ever. His backing group sounds great and keeps up with him over the entire disc. He is one of a handful of performers -- Tabby ...

This Is Blues

by
Various Artists
There are countless blues compilations out there, and at first glance, this two-disc, 30-track selection doesn't seem to be anything special, but a closer look reveals that it covers a fairly wide spectrum, both in the number of blues styles it includes (prewar country-blues to Chicago blues, jump blues, folk-blues and more) and in the years it ...

Blue Memphis Suite [Bonus Tracks]
(2006)
more music like this
by
Memphis Slim
Teamed with guitarist Peter Green and a well-oiled ensemble of British musicians including John Paul Jones on Hammond organ, Memphis Slim cooked up The Blue Memphis Suite in a London studio at four sessions during June of 1970. A theatrically conceived autobiographical revue, this album feels at first like a sort of audio pantomime as the pianist ...

by
Tracy Nelson
Country-gospel-blues singer Tracy Nelson takes a cue from Johnny Cash and B.B. King by heading to prison to record her first live album. Few singers belt out songs with as much husky power and gutsy intensity as Nelson, and the surroundings lend themselves to performances of Memphis Slim's "Mother Earth" and Big Bill Broonzy's "I Feel So Good" ...

Singin' the Blues
(2005)
more music like this
by
Various Artists
This eclectic collection mixes some down-home country blues tracks with some decidedly uptown jazzy takes on the blues, and the result is an oddly effective set, with such varied performances as John Lee Hooker's rough and ragged "Louise," Jack Teagarden's swinging "St. Louis Blues," Sister Rosetta Tharpe's crisp guitar on "Trouble in Mind," Joe ...

The Story of Vee-Jay: America's Premier Black Music Label
(2002)
more music like this
by
Various Artists
"America's Premier Black Music Label" says the small print on the front sleeve, and while that's highly disputable, Vee-Jay was undoubtedly one of America's premier black music labels from the mid-'50s to the mid-'60s. This two-CD, 50-song set is a strong and varied selection of their wares, focusing mostly but not exclusively on their hit singles ...

The Real Folk Blues
(1966)
more music like this
by
Memphis Slim
One of the more unsung blues giants on Chess, pianist Memphis Slim plied an urbane form of barrelhouse blues a notch or two removed from the more raw stylings of, say, Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf. This edition of the label's bargain survey series, Real Folk Blues, features Slim in his prime from the early '50s. And while he would later cut many ...
