Heavy Love

Heavy Love (1998) more music like this

by Buddy Guy

Apparently, Buddy Guy subscribes to the theory "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em." Losing commercial ground to the blonde young guns of Johnny Lang and Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Guy hired their producer, David Z., and set out to record an album of loud, frenzied blues-rock. Purists will cringe at the unabashed commercial concessions Guy makes on Heavy ...

The Best of Louis Jordan [MCA]

The Best of Louis Jordan [MCA] (1977) more music like this

by Louis Jordan

This is a best-of CD collection that actually lives up to its name. Virtually all of Louis Jordan's hits, which musically bridged the gap between small-group swing, R&B, and rock & roll, are on this single CD, including "Choo Choo Ch'Boogie," "Let the Good Times Roll," "Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens," "Saturday Night Fish Fry," "Caldonia," ...

Finding Nemo: Ocean Favorites

Finding Nemo: Ocean Favorites (2003) more music like this

by Disney

One of the best things about Pixar's films for Disney is that they're not bogged down with a bunch of middling songs. Randy Newman's music for the Toy Story movies, Monsters, Inc., and A Bug's Life always served the films' stories first, while Thomas Newman's Finding Nemo soundtrack added a cinematic depth. Likewise, the tie-in albums for the ...

Takes Two to Tango

Takes Two to Tango (2004) more music like this

by Pearl Bailey

Outspokenness and the art of the clever aside are essential components of the African-American performance tradition. Bessie Smith, Frankie "Half Pint" Jaxon, Louis Armstrong and Fats Waller each developed a distinctive manner of talking over the music as if to dispel the sort of pretensions that so often cluttered up conventional mainstream pop ...

Portrait of the Blues

Portrait of the Blues (1992) more music like this

by Lou Rawls

A wholesome blues effort by the native Chicagoan. Though these are bona fide blues numbers, Rawls confronts each song with an elegant touch. His delivery and articulation give the songs an uptown flair. Of the 15 numbers, only four ("Baby What You Want Me to Do," "Hide Nor Hair," "My Babe," and "Saturday Night Fish Fry") have that up-tempo, boogie ...

Ain't She Sweet!

Ain't She Sweet! (2000) more music like this

by Pearl Bailey

Jasmine presents a casual overview of selections from Pearl Bailey's first ten years as a recording artist (1945-1955). Picking up where Fats Waller left off, this gorgeous, powerful, and witty woman dismantled all kinds of long-established presentational conventions by half-singing, half-talking her way through every song she ever handled. On ...

Evidence Blues Sampler (1992) more music like this

Evidence's blues reissue campaign has been exhaustive and diverse in its artistic and stylistic range, something that is reflected in this 15-cut sampler culled from various sessions. There is vintage material from John Lee Hooker, J.B. Hutto, and the tandem of Junior Wells and Buddy Guy, plus classic R&B by Louis Jordan and Big Joe Turner and ...

Red Hot (1999) more music like this

by Billy Lee Riley

Billy Lee Riley was not one of the better known artists to come out of Sun Records during the rockabilly years, but he was effective, and at times utterly powerful on both his recordings, and as a live performer who could rival, on his best nights, Jerry Lee Lewis. This 26-track collection contains virtually every side you would ever want-and then ...

No Moe! The Greatest Hits [Verve] (1956) more music like this

by Louis Jordan

With the exception of four numbers taken from a 1957 set in which he heads a quintet co-starring organist Jackie Davis, this CD consists of a dozen songs taken from a 1956 date already reissued (with additional material) on the previously issued CD Rock 'n' Roll. Louis Jordan, who had not had a new hit since 1951 (and unfortunately none were in ...

by Warren Vache & The NYC All Star Big Band

Warren Vaché has never been an innovator, but he's always been impressively consistent. Recorded in January 2000, this German release finds the cornetist leading a swing-oriented 11-piece band that includes, among others, Rickey Woodard and Harry Allen on tenor sax, Randy Reinhart on trumpet, Steve Ash on piano, and Jake Hanna on drums.

Cruisin' with Frankie Ford (1998) more music like this

by Frankie Ford

This has both sides of all six singles Ford did for Imperial from 1960-62 and a couple of unissued tracks from the same era, as well as his 1984 Ace recording New Orleans Dynamo. The main attraction is the Imperial material, which was very hard to find before this reissue. Ford's association with Imperial wasn't very fruitful commercially, ...

20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Louis Jordan (1999) more music like this

by Louis Jordan

A very fun but very short (37 minutes) sampling of Louis Jordan hits recorded for Decca between 1942 ("Five Guys Named Moe") and 1953 ("I Want You to Be My Baby"). Designed as more of an introduction, 20th Century Masters includes such Jordan staples as "Caldonia" and "Saturday Night Fish Fry." This brief compilation may be a good place to start, ...

Swing, Baby, Swing! (1998) more music like this

by Various Artists

Swing Baby Swing is a pretty good budget-line compilation of vintage tracks aimed squarely at the swing-revival crowd. Mostly from the 1940s and '50s and charting the R&B side of small-group swing, it includes tracks by Joe Liggins, Jay McShann, Floyd Dixon, Mabel Scott, Jimmy Witherspoon and Ray Charles, among others.

The Swingtime Records Story (1994) more music like this

by Various Artists

A black entrepreneur named Jack Lauderdale, for a period of a half dozen years, ran the Swingtime label -- and its myriad subsidiaries -- and his story is nicely told through the music on this wonderful two-disc box set. Lauderdale was no two bit hustler; he had both vision and ambition. He recorded everything from big band jump blues to piano ...

Swing Cats [Cleopatra] (1999) more music like this

by Swing Cats

The retro-swing revival of the late '90s often owed a portion of its style to early rock & roll as well as swing and jump blues, and no one is better proof of that fact than ex-Stray Cat Brian Setzer. In light of his success, it seems only logical for his former bandmates to get in on the act, and both Lee Rocker and Slim Jim Phantom are present ...

Barbecue Blues (1998) more music like this

Barbecue Blues relies on a cutesy concept -- it contains nothing but blues and R&B songs about food, barbeques and appetites -- but it works surprsingly well, mainly because most of the featured artists are excellent. Surprisingly, the compilers decided to bypass modern electric blues for classic female blues, jump blues, classic R&B and country ...
