Ultimate Collection

Ultimate Collection (2001) more music like this

by Freddie King

Hip-O's Ultimate Collection is one of the first truly comprehensive overviews of Freddie King's career, starting with his seminal recordings for Federal and running all the way to his final recordings for RSO in the mid-'70s. This is a mixed blessing. On one hand, it's nice to have a disc that tells the whole story, but the shifting production ...

Honky Tonk (2000) more music like this

Thursday Night in San Francisco: Recorded Live at the Fillmore Auditorium

Thursday Night in San Francisco: Recorded Live at the Fillmore Auditorium (1990) more music like this

by Albert King

Recorded live in San Francisco in 1968, here's Albert King pretty much at the top of his game, blasting out tons of great guitar and singing his heart to an appreciative crowd of young hippies. With a tight four-piece road band backing him, King fires up his Flying V and slams down hard on material like Freddie King's "San-Ho-Zay," "you Upset Me ...

Blues Guitar Virtuoso Live in Europe

Blues Guitar Virtuoso Live in Europe (1995) more music like this

by Ronnie Earl & the Broadcasters

Although not released until 1995, this CD was recorded live in 1993 in Bremen, Germany. Live in Europe is Earl's tribute to his major influences, and Ronnie plays his favorite guitar throughout: a 1962 red Strat. The fast, driving "San-Ho-Zay" and "Blues for the West Side" go out to Magic Sam; "The Stumble" to Freddie King; "Thank You Mr. T-Bone" ...

Complete Blue Horizon Sessions

Complete Blue Horizon Sessions (2006) more music like this

by Chicken Shack

Formed and led by guitarist/vocalist Stan Webb, Chicken Shack were one of the first bands to be signed to the Blue Horizon label in the mid-'60s. As of this compilation's release in 2006, Webb was still fronting a version of the group. While never attaining any success in the States, Chicken Shack were well known in the U.K., with fleeting success ...

Picture This

Picture This (1993) more music like this

by Debbie Davies

Debbie Davies played with Albert Collins and that experience carries her through her debut album, Picture This. All the way through the album, she plays and sings with a barely restrained energy, spitting out burning leads and positively wailing her vocals. The album is a mixture of solid originals and classic covers, including a version of "I ...

The Fabulous Wailers at the Castle

The Fabulous Wailers at the Castle (1962) more music like this

by The Fabulous Wailers

The Wailers had coalesced from a crude instrumental combo with hits like "Tall Cool One" into a storming rock'n'soul outfit by the early 1960s, and the Spanish Castle in the DMZ between Seattle and Tacoma was their home turf. Modeling themselves somewhat on the scale of a small-change soul revue, they sported instrumental workouts from the band ...

Luther's Blues

Luther's Blues (1974) more music like this

by Luther Allison

Luther's Blues is where Luther Allison began to come into his own, developing a fluid, gutsy style full of soulful string bending. There are still a few weak spots, but the album remains an effective slice of contemporary Chicago blues. Thom Owens, All Music Guide

Gotta Hold on to This Feeling (1969) more music like this

by Junior Walker & the All-Stars

Initially, Motown released this as What Does It Take To Win Your Love, then reissued it as Gotta Hold On To This Feeling when the love-struck single of the same name started its chart asscension. "What Does It Take" originally appeared on the Home Cooking album, but Motown stuck it here, along with other previously released tracks. "Gotta Hold on ...

Hide Away: The Best of Freddy King

Hide Away: The Best of Freddy King (1993) more music like this

by Freddie King

Although not always placed in the upper echelon of blues performers alongside the other Kings (B.B. and Albert), Freddie King was a dynamo. He was both a powerhouse, imaginative guitarist and a glorious, soulful vocalist who could belt out come-ons, shout with gusto or wail in anguish. His instrumentals were also catchy, usually simply structured ...

Blues Hero (1994) more music like this

by Freddie King

This has 24 sides that King did for Federal in the early 1960s, all but two of them from 1961 and 1962, and all but one released on singles. Half of this appears on Rhino's King retrospective Hide Away: The Best of Freddy King, which has a slightly more astute track selection, so if you have that and feel like that's sufficient Freddy King for ...

Black Magic (1968) more music like this

by Magic Sam

This album's color cover photo is an action shot, showing Magic Sam in the process of choking and bending his strings, a good hike up the fretboard. It isn't clear exactly what he is playing from the picture, although that certainly didn't stop dozens of pimply hippie guitar players from trying to figure it out. In the meantime, the record goes on ...

40 Blue Fingers, Freshly Packed and Ready to Serve (1968) more music like this

by Chicken Shack

If one can overlook Stan Webb's hyperventilating vocal excesses (which ain't easy), this is a promising debut, especially noteworthy for Webb's Freddie King-inspired guitar sting and Christine Perfect's understated vocals (only two, unfortunately compared to Webb's six). Webb does justice to his mentor with two instrumentals, King's "San-Ho-Zay" ...

The Blues of Snooks Eaglin & Boogie Bill Webb (2004) more music like this

by Snooks Eaglin/Boogie Bill Webb

Although this release is titled The Blues of Snooks Eaglin, there isn't really a whole lot of blues here, which isn't a complaint, since most of Eaglin's output defies easy categorization anyway, and whether you call it blues, R&B or New Orleans street music, it hardly matters, since it's going to sound mostly like Snooks, and that's always a good ...

The Fabulous Wailers at the Castle/The Wailers and Co. (2003) more music like this

by The Fabulous Wailers

Containing both of the Wailers' first two albums on Etiquette (1961's The Fabulous Wailers at the Castle and 1964's The Wailers and Co.), this is a good summary of the group's early-'60s recordings, particularly as it adds half a dozen bonus tracks from 1961-1964 singles. The live At the Castle album is a historically important document of the ...

by Chicken Shack

This Chicken Shack compilation of mainly unreleased live and studio outtakes is taken from the vaults of guitarist and band founder Stan Webb. The sound quality isn't great, but it does provide a historic glimpse of the band performing in its earliest incarnation. Highlights include vocalist Christine Perfect (aka McVie) on "When the Train Comes ...

The Very Best of Freddy King, Vol. 1 (2002) more music like this

by Freddy King

The phrase "very best of" in an album title usually indicates a highly selective collection of an artist's career highlights. By that standard, in one sense Collectables Records' The Very Best of Freddy King, Vol. 1 should be called something else; a more accurate description of the contents would be "The Complete Freddy King on Federal Records, ...

Poppa Willie: The Hi Years, 1962-1974 (2001) more music like this

A two-disc, 51-song set, with one disc devoted to Mitchell originals and one to covers he made between 1962 and 1974. This is an extensive collection of trumpeter/producer Mitchell's dance-inducing, funky brand of soul music. Like fellow instrumentalists of the day -- Booker T., Jr. Walker, King Curtis, and the JBs -- Mitchell was helping to ...

Chairman of the Board: Surf Soundtracks '64 to '74 (2007) more music like this

by Various Artists

Arguably no subgenre is more clearly defined, almost to the point of cliché, than surf rock, a virtual soundtrack to southern California beach culture that identifies itself within one or two notes of the reverb-soaked guitars of the Ventures and Dick Dale. But surf culture extends far beyond the California coast, and so too does surf music -- ...
