West Side Soul

by
Magic Sam
To call West Side Soul one of the great blues albums, one of the key albums (if not the key album) of modern electric blues is all true, but it tends to diminish and academicize Magic Sam's debut album. This is the inevitable side effect of time, when an album that is decades old enters the history books, but this isn't an album that should be ...

by
Mother Earth
Though Mother Earth is often remembered as a vehicle for Tracy Nelson, Living With the Animals is a true group effort, combining memorable vocal performances with tight R&B-derived playing with excellent guitar work from Michael Bloomfield. Side one is a showcase for Nelson's blues belting and piano, particularly on "Down So Low" and "Mother Earth ...

Robben Ford & the Blue Line
The debut set by guitarist Robben Ford with his Blue Line trio (a blues band with bassist Roscoe Beck and drummer Tom Brechtlein) finds Ford returning to his roots and playing the music that best fits his style. An effective singer, it is for Ford's powerful guitar playing that this CD (which has seven originals among the nine numbers) is most ...

The Singer

more music like this
by
Diamanda Galas
While the blues had always been a presence in Galas' work, The Singer was the first time she presented them on their own and she did so in a stark manner, with only herself on voice and keyboards. Her piano playing is fairly harsh and jagged, almost evoking a reined-in Cecil Taylor. But it's her vocal work that fans are interested in, and here she ...

by
Guy Forsyth
Traditionally speaking, Guy Forsyth isn't strictly a bluesman. True, he covers Bo Diddley and Muddy Waters, but he is more concerned with expanding the palette of the blues than paying reverence to his idols. His style varies wildly from song to song, from the straight Delta blues of "Poor Boy" to the slouching psychedelic monster "Good Time Man." ...

Otis Rush
Panned by many a critic upon its 1969 release, Otis Rush's trip to Muscle Shoals sounds pretty fine now (with the obvious exceptions of "My Old Lady" and "Me," which no amount of time will ever save). The house band (including Duane Allman and drummer Roger Hawkins) picks up on Rush's harrowing vibe and runs with it on the stunning "Gambler's ...

Earl Lewis & The Channels
One of New York's finest early doo wop groups' early sides from 1956 to 1961 first recorded on Whirling Disc, Fury, and Port Records. Only two Gone releases (from 1957-1958) are missing -- must be a licensing problem. The Channels were not only unique vocally, Earl Lewis' leads rank up there and Clifton Wright's bass expressions gets A's for ...

An Introduction to Otis Rush

by
Otis Rush
Otis Rush's singles for Eli Tuscanno's Chicago-based Cobra Records imprint were somewhat of a revelation when he recorded them between 1956 and 1958. Rush combined the electric country blues ensemble approach of Muddy Waters with the more urbane single-string guitar leads of B.B. King on these strikingly intense minor key classics, creating what ...

Doo Wop 45s on CD, Vol. 5 is a single disc containing 25 tracks that dig a little deeper into the genre and haven't been burned out from years of over-exposure. It's a treat to have access to songs by the Continentals, the Matadors, the Cameos, and the Charms that received regional attention but never achieved the national success initially hoped ...

The Songs of Willie Dixon

by
Various Artists
The Songs of Willie Dixon finds a number of mostly contemporary blues practitioners paying tribute to the legendary composer/bassist. Of course, it isn't difficult to pick quality material out of Dixon's catalog, so the collection will sink or swim with the performances. And, for the most part, they're pretty good, with some interesting, modern ...

If the 50 tracks on this double-CD box sound an awful lot like they could have come off of any of MCA's various Chess boxes -- but especially the Willie Dixon volume -- it's no accident. Cobra Records was an upstart Chicago-based label that existed for a little over three years at the end of the 1950s, founded by Eli Toscano and Willie Dixon as ...

An Introduction to Doo-Wop
(2006)
more music like this
by
Various Artists
This varied collection is a little too random to be a traditional introduction to doo wop, so listeners shouldn't pick it up expecting a historical survey of the genre. What's here is often surprising, though, particularly the sprung rhythms and self-torment of "A Sinner in Love," the wacky and truly disturbing "Jack the Ripper" by the Elites, and ...

There's much more to Petula Clark's career than most people realize. She got her start on the BBC way back in 1942, long before "Downtown" made her an international star in 1964, and while her biggest hits were written by other composers, she has done much more than just dabble in writing and composing on her own, as this eye opening collection ...

This mixes gems and alternate takes previously issued on a limited edition Blue Horizon LP. The Rush Cobra material has been issued and reissued so much that you can get burned with the various titles and editions floating around. This is aimed more at the completists and Rush freaks than the general consumer. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide
