The Ultimate Arthur Alexander
(1993)
more music like this
by
Arthur Alexander
Arthur Alexander was one of the great overlooked figures of 1960s soul music. Alexander possessed a rich, emotive voice that was the perfect instrument for the lovelorn themes of Southern soul, and he was also an estimable songwriter -- the Beatles covered his tune "Anna (Go to Him)," while the Rolling Stones recorded "You Better Move On." However ...

Dedicated to You
(1998)
more music like this
by
Big Sandy
Big Sandy's solo debut heralds a major shift away from the retro-Western swing of his work with the Fly-Rite Boys; Dedicated to You instead celebrates the classic L.A. lowrider sound, sporting covers of 15 doo wop and R&B chestnuts originally cut between 1954 and 1961 (with one original composition, "Baby Baby Me," tossed in for good measure). ...

Anthology

by
The Walker Brothers
Although it contains The Walker Brothers' big hits from the '60s, Anthology is basically a resequenced version of the group's first album, adding a couple of bonus tracks. Nevertheless, it's a serviceable introduction to the group. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

Screamin' Jay Hawkins
A Screamin' Jay Hawkins live recording doesn't equal being there, but it gives you an idea of the zany, bizarre persona that made the late Cleveland, Ohio native legendary. Hawkins, whose real name is Jalacy, performs a slew of remakes including ghoulish renditions of the Isley Brothers' "Shout," Bobby Day's "Itty Bitty One," Fats Domino's "Please ...

Magic Slim & The Teardrops
Another solid Slim set with an additional emphasis on the considerable contributions of second guitarist John Primer, who handles vocals on three cuts (including covers of Otis Redding's "Hard to Handle" and Eugene Church's "Pretty Girls Everywhere"). This was a particularly potent edition of Teardrops, pounding through Slim's own title cut and ...

As with other releases in this series, BR Music stretches matters a bit to fill two CDs with single tracks by the Walker Brothers, reaching out to various international discographies, and to the Walkers' solo stuff to come up with the 45 songs -- so this is a chance to take in the John Walker solo renditions of songs such as "I'll Be Your Baby ...

Big Sandy & His Fly-Rite Boys
If Robert Williams, aka Big Sandy, has ever made a bad record, he's done a fine job of keeping it under wraps, and whether it's vintage country & western, Western swing, R&B, rockabilly, or one of several stops in between, Big Sandy can belt it out sweet and hot and his band the Fly-Rite Boys know how to play it like they were born to it.

From the archives of Decca Records UK comes the Blues Scene (1999). This 25-track anthology covers the label's copious contributions to the 1960s renaissance of rhythm and blues influenced rock. The movement would ultimately seed heavy metal supergroups such as Cream, Led Zeppelin and the seminal incarnation of Fleetwood Mac. Fittingly, the ...

In 2000, the Collectables imprint reissued two of teen idol Bobby Vee's albums (originally released on Liberty) on one economically sensible disc. Come Back When You Grow Up (1967) was Vee's attempt to remain relevant in a changing musical climate and Bobby Vee Meets The Ventures (1963) was an interesting crossover for the two artists and provided ...

Eugene Church
This 26-track compilation isn't just The Very Best of Eugene Church. It has most of what this rock & roll journeyman recorded, from his doo wop roots in the mid-'50s to his early-'60s singles for the King label. Church was ultimately a fair but minor R&B-leaning early rock & roll singer, with nothing else up to the level of the biggest and best ...

Some of the most Chicago-sounding bluesmen didn't grow up in the Windy City but rather were people who moved there after growing up in the Deep South. Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, Bo Diddley, Jimmy Reed, Elmore James, and Howlin' Wolf are perfect examples; all of them were born in Mississippi, but ultimately, Chicago was the place that did the most ...

On the one hand, it makes sense that The Blues of Otis Spann and Cracked Spanner Head should be packaged together in a double-disc set, and on the other, it makes no sense at all, since they are essentially the exact same album. Blues was recorded in England with Otis Spann on piano and vocals, Little Willie Smith on drums, Ransom Knowling on bass ...
