by
The Black Keys
As minimal two-man blues-rock bands go, this has to be near the top of the heap. The problem with minimal two-man blues-rock outfits (and there have been more of them than you think) is that they're, well, usually too minimal, with thin garage sound and a shortage of variety. The Black Keys' sound, impressively, is not too thin (though it is ...

by
The Notting Hillbillies
On hiatus from Dire Straits, guitarist Mark Knopfler joined with Brendan Croker, Steve Phillips, and Guy Fletcher for 1990's Missing...Presumed Having a Good Time. The result is a low-key, joyous run-through of mostly traditional, blues-based songs with a handful of originals. Despite the high-profile presence of Knopfler, the Notting Hillbillies ...

Little Charlie & the Nightcats
This 1988 outing is another seamless part of the thread that is this eclectic West Coast band, brimming with equal parts good humor and sensational playing. Charlie Baty tears into his guitar on the opener, "That's My Girl," and keeps the heat up throughout this set, turning in jazzy work on "My Money's Green," rockabilly licks galore on "She's ...

by
Little Charlie & the Nightcats
Deluxe Edition is a wonderful 15-track collection that compiles all of the highlights from Little Charlie & the Nightcats' first six albums for Alligator Records. Although a few of the individual albums hold up reasonably well, they are all a little uneven, which means the appearance of this best-of collection is all the more welcome. Not only ...

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 ...

Jazz Gillum
Roll Dem Bones 1938-49 rounds up a number of sides not issued on the Document series, offering good insight into the final days of Jazz Gillum's career. While it isn't the first place to go -- RCA's concise and comprehensive Bluebird Recordings 1934-1938 holds that title -- it nevertheless is a welcome addition to any serious blues historian that ...

Kingsley
(2005)
by
Kingsley
Onetime Hammerbox guitarist Harris Thurmond steers the modern rock quartet Kingsley through its ten-song eponymous debut with varying degrees of success. If the urgent Foo Fighters-meets-Queens of the Stone Age thump of "New Rock City" captures the listeners attention, innocuous, mid-tempo numbers like "One of the Good Ones" and "Jilted" (which is ...

by
Jazz Gillum
The fourth and final Document volume that reissues all of Jazz Gillum's recordings (other than his first two lost numbers and a later Lp) finds the singer and harmonica player performing in a style unchanged from the late 1930s even as the music world changed around him. He still sounded quite enthusiastic during this last batch of goodtime and ...
