Alone & Acoustic

Alone & Acoustic (1991) more music like this

by Buddy Guy/Junior Wells

The classic pairing of Buddy Guy and Junior Wells has been captured many times on vinyl, cassette, and disc over the years, but rarely with such intimacy and subtle, restrained energy as on this wonderful collection. Buddy Guy plays mostly 12 string guitar, and Junior laces his signature lines through the songs, engaging Guy in the kind of musical ...

by R.L. Burnside

At the time these tracks were cut, 1967 and 1968, R.L. Burnside was working on a plantation in Coldwater, MS, cutting silage. Folklorist George Mitchell was on a mission to record unknown blues singers down South. Mitchell heard about Burnside and paid him a visit, asking if he could record him.

A Bothered Mind

A Bothered Mind (2004) more music like this

by R.L. Burnside

When R.L. Burnside and the rest of the Fat Possum confederation emerged from the northern Mississippi hills in the early '90s, they gave contemporary blues a much-needed shot in the ass, reminding everyone that the genre really wasn't so much about pyrotechnic guitar histrionics as it was about getting folks to hit the dancefloor, and once there, ...

Burnside on Burnside

Burnside on Burnside (2001) more music like this

by R.L. Burnside

Like jazz, blues music has faced a problem of attrition, with its major names dying off and younger artists having trouble establishing themselves at anything like an equal level of recognition. One way out of this dilemma has been the discovery of new-old bluesmen, musicians who have reached an advanced age without becoming stars, who can now be ...

Blues Had a Baby

Blues Had a Baby (1999) more music like this

by Lurrie Bell

The blues of Lurrie Bell comes from a turbulent place, but there's no denying the man can play. This album brings together tracks from three different sessions, the bulk being held in 1997. Supported by a spartan rhythm section, Bell sprays kamikaze guitar licks over a bevy of old standards like "Five Long Years," "Who Do You Love," "Mean Old ...

Mr. Wizard

Mr. Wizard (1997) more music like this

by R.L. Burnside

While it's not quite as relentlessly exciting as Ass Pocket of Whiskey, primarily because the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion isn't along to provide support, Mr. Wizard is another set of blistering electric blues from R.L. Burnside, highlighted by his stomping guitar, powerful voice and cheerfully vulgar lyrics. Thom Owens, All Music Guide

After Two But Before Five

After Two But Before Five (2007) more music like this

by Hillstomp

Recorded live over two nights in August 2006, After Two But Before Five offers a snapshot of a blues-rock band performing before an appreciative audience. A small unit, Hillstomp feature the electric guitar work and vocals of Henry Kammerer along with percussion and vocals of John Johnson and, on occasion, the harp work of Philip Guttman. Even ...

Well Well Well (2001) more music like this

by R.L. Burnside

At first glance, this archival collection may appear to be too much of a hodgepodge. The recording dates range from 1986 to 1993; the locations range from a large theater in The Hague to a shotgun house in New Orleans; the lineups range from solo performances by Burnside to trio sessions with Jon Morris and Calvin Jackson; and the songs range from ...

Master of the Blues

Master of the Blues (2005) more music like this

by Muddy Waters

This volume of Muddy Waters titles may not be credited in terms of its era, but it's easy to hear that this set is comprised of early Chess demos and Stovall Plantation masters. There are many obscure titles here that the new listener will not be familiar with, such as "Mean Red Spider," "Gypsy Woman," and "I Be Bound to Write You," to name a just ...

Mississippi Hill Country Blues (2000) more music like this

by R.L. Burnside

It's a pleasure to hear R.L. Burnside's early acoustic blues played the way he learned them in the hill country of Northern Mississippi. Three of these tracks date from 1967 and were recorded in Coldwater, MS by folklorist George Mitchell, while the remaining 16 were recorded in the early '80s by Swingmaster operator Leo Bruin in Groningen, ...

Righteousness and Humidity (2003) more music like this

by Martin Simpson

Martin Simpson might have made his reputation as a folk guitarist, but blues has been a part of him since he was young, and he plays it -- as he plays everything -- with both incredible technique and driving passion. And while his roots might be far from the Mississippi Delta, his heart is right there. To be fair, he can't hold a candle to the ...

Sound Machine Groove (1997) more music like this

by R.L. Burnside

Recorded by folklorist David Evans in 1979 and 1980, these are Burnside's first recordings with electric guitar and also his first with a band. That band was the Sound Machine, a band he literally created himself out of members of his own family, blending raw Mississippi blues with soul, funk, R&B and other urban flavors to make a marvelous ...

Phat Blues Music (1998) more music like this

by Kelly Bell

On his debut full-length album, Kelly Bell covers all the bases the he tackles in his live shows, and in the process attempts to master every possible genre and subgenre of post-war black music: blues, funk, and soul. The influences of hip-hop are found in every song, so there was no need for Bell to forge headlong in that direction, though given ...

Masters of the Blues [Legacy Box] (2005) more music like this

by Various Artists

These three discs in the Legacy Masters of the Blues series are all available individually. Two of these discs -- Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker -- are actually terrific. There is a lack of documentation on them which is a drag, but the music and sound quality, as well as the performances, are solid, engaging and footstomping. The final disc in ...

Me and the Devil/I Asked for Water (1998) more music like this

by Tony McPhee

These two compilations, paired up here on a double-CD set, were just among the many to come out in the late '60s dedicated to British blues. And every single one seemed to feature the remarkable Jo-Ann Kelly (simply one of the best blues singers of any time and place, who sadly died in 1990) and Tony McPhee, who'd go on to greater fame and fortune ...
