His Best [MCA]

His Best [MCA] (1997) more music like this

by Sonny Boy Williamson

While some hardliners will point to his early 1950s Trumpet recordings as his most undiluted work, Sonny Boy's tenure at Chess Records was his longest and most successful and therefore deserves first look for the novice coming to this remarkable bluesman at ground level. This 20-track collection takes 17 tracks from the excellent two-disc ...

Bluestime

Bluestime (1994) more music like this

by Magic Dick & Jay Geils

The debut issue from two former J. Geils Band members, Bluestime finds Magic Dick and J. Geils still mining their old Chicago blues influences, but with much more depth and sophistication musically. Whereas the J. Geils Band of the '70s would have hammered away at the songs with volume and intensity, Bluestime approaches tunes such as Sonny Boy ...

Blues Mongrel

Blues Mongrel (2005) more music like this

by Carlos del Junco Band

Canadian blues harmonica player Carlos del Junco offers an enjoyably varied set on the aptly titled Blues Mongrel, featuring as it does the blues mingled with some other styles. A better instrumentalist than a vocalist (though he's an okay singer), del Junco is a skilled practitioner of playing chromatically with a ten-hole harmonica. That ...

The Real Folk Blues/More Real Folk Blues

The Real Folk Blues/More Real Folk Blues (2002) more music like this

by Sonny Boy Williamson

Like other entries in the Chess Real Folk Blues series, Sonny Boy Williamson's The Real Folk Blues and More Real Folk Blues (here combined onto one CD) were not really folk, and not really regular albums. Rather, they were somewhat arbitrarily chosen compilations, titled to appeal to the crowd that had gotten turned onto the blues during the 1960s ...

Open All Nite

Open All Nite (1976) more music like this

by The Nighthawks

When Open All Nite was first released on LP in 1976, the Nighthawks had only been together for four years -- little did they know that they would still be together in the 21st century and would celebrate their 30th anniversary in 2002. Some young bands sound like they still have some growing and developing to do, but the Nighthawks never sound the ...

Snooky

Snooky (1987) more music like this

by Snooky Pryor

An outstanding comeback effort by Chicago harp pioneer Snooky Pryor, whose timeless sound meshed well with a Windy City trio led by producer/guitarist Steve Freund for this set. Mostly Pryor's own stuff -- "Why You Want to Do Me like That," "That's the Way To Do It," "Cheatin' and Lyin'" -- with his fat-toned harp weathering the decades quite ...

Uncanned! The Best of Canned Heat

Uncanned! The Best of Canned Heat (1994) more music like this

by Canned Heat

For most non-completists, this anthology should more than suffice as an apt compact disc retrospective of Canned Heat's releases on Liberty Records. To that end, it's a more or less chronological overview of the combo's LPs, commencing with a trio of tunes from a spring 1967 studio session that predates their self-titled debut (1967). Primary is ...

Sooner or Later

Sooner or Later (1968) more music like this

by John Hammond

Like several of Hammond's early albums, this 1968 effort would ultimately sound less impressive than it did at the time, simply because the original versions of the ten songs Hammond covered would become much more accessible. The material selected did testify to his good taste, but also stuck to the tried-and-true, including classics like "Dust My ...

King of the Electric Blues

King of the Electric Blues (1997) more music like this

by Muddy Waters

The first 20-bit remastering of any of Muddy's late career work for Johnny Winter's Blue Sky label is of considerable interest. The fact that, in the wake of the earlier Blues Sky best-of disc, there's enough material to do another 60-minute-plus collection, also speaks well for this catalog. The clarity of the Super Bit Mapping audio brings out a ...

by Sonny Boy Williamson II

King Biscuit Time features Sonny Boy's early Trumpet sides from 1951. The original "Eyesight to the Blind," "Nine Below Zero" and "Mighty Long Time" are Sonny Boy at his very best. Added bonuses include Williamson backing Elmore James on his original recording of "Dust My Broom" and a live KFFA broadcast from 1965. Cub Koda, All Music Guide

Windy City Blues (2000) more music like this

by Muddy Waters

Dressed To Kill is not normally known for issuing quality material. Normally they shuffle out half-baked live gigs that are either audience recordings of live shows or pirated board tapes. Even they can't mess up all the time, though, as is this case in point from Muddy Waters. Windy City Blues is a live show from who knows where, since there is ...
