Boogie Woogie King

Boogie Woogie King (1976) more music like this

by Pinetop Perkins

Although he did not have an album issued under his name as a leader until 1988, pianist Pinetop Perkins actually should have had one released in 1976, when he cut the eight tracks on this recently reissued Evidence CD for the Black and Blue label. They did not appear until 1992, which is a shame. Perkins' trademark boogie-woogie riffs, rumbling ...

Otis Spann Is the Blues

Otis Spann Is the Blues (1960) more music like this

by Otis Spann

Otis Spann may not have been the blues, but he was sure close to being the blues pianist . Spann provided wonderful, imaginative, tasty piano solos and better-than-average vocals, and was arguably the best player whose style was more restrained than animated. Not that he couldn't rock the house, but Spann's forte was making you think as well as ...

The Best of Mississippi Blues [Fuel 2000] (2007) more music like this

by Various Artists

Although none of these 18 tracks, most of them taken from 1960s live performances and the rest drawn from old 1920s and 1930s commercial 78s, are particularly obscure or rare, taken together like this and obviously sequenced with some actual thought being applied, they form a nice little set full of passion and vitality. Included are Mississippi ...

Bluebird Blues

Bluebird Blues (1991) more music like this

by Dave Specter w/ Bill Smith

There wasn't any musical generation gap between young Chicago guitarist Specter and his much older front man Barkin' Bill Smith. Specter's love for the electrified 1950s styles of Magic Sam, T-Bone Walker, and B.B. King blended well with Smith's deep, almost crooning baritone pipes on what was the debut album for both men. Lots of breezy swing ...

The Modern Downhome Blues Sessions, Vol. 2: Mississippi and Arkansas (2003) more music like this

by Various Artists

Modern Records was one of the great blues labels of the '50s, run by Joe Bihari out of Los Angeles. Modern released singles by Howlin' Wolf and Elmore James, and B.B. King was the label's biggest artist. But Bihari was not one to simply ride his current artists, and to this end, he enlisted Ike Turner as talent scout and the two of them traveled ...

American Roots Music [Box Set] (2001) more music like this

The successes of the breakthrough soundtrack from the film O Brother Where Art Thou? and the in-depth PBS television series Ken Burns' Jazz seem to have combined in the 2001 production of Palm Pictures' four-part TV series American Roots Music.

Blue Mood: The Songs of T-Bone Walker [Bonus CD] (2004) more music like this

by Duke Robillard

Duke Robillard pays homage to T-Bone Walker with this collection of swing, big-band, and blues songs. The bubbly and bouncy "Lonesome Woman Blues" has a bebop Count Basie feeling as his supporting musicians, particularly the horn section, are given brief solos to shine. There is far more substance and style to this approach than a rehashed run ...

by TV Original Soundtrack

The Devil's Music is the three-disc soundtrack to a BBC television documentary on American blues that aired originally in 1976 at the height of the punk explosion in Britain. What makes this an important set are the many old blues artists captured here doing new live versions of their signature songs; and since many of them have since passed on, ...

1948-1952 (2005) more music like this

by Leroy Foster

Baby Face Leroy Foster's chronological recordings overlap and intersect nicely with those made by Muddy Waters during the late '40s and early '50s. Both men hailed from rural Mississippi. Foster made it to Chicago in 1945, two years after Muddy. Foster shows up on some of Muddy's Aristocrat recordings from 1948 and 1949. Muddy in turn participated ...

Complete Recorded Works, Vol. 4 (1946-1949) (1994) more music like this

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 ...

I Got to Find Me a Woman (1998) more music like this

by Robert Lockwood Jr.

These 14 tracks, cut in 1996 when Lockwood was 81 years old, are among the most accessible music that he has ever laid down. Had this record -- with its mix of spare, raw solos and duets juxtaposed with full band pieces that thunder quietly or roar loud and clear -- come out in the late '60s, it might have been as big and important a record as ...
