by
John Mayall & the Blues Breakers
Rarely has any single record album induced such a shift in popular music. Blues Breakers With Eric Clapton not only catapulted Clapton to the helm of the burgeoning British blues-rock scene, it likewise made significant noise on the other side of the Atlantic -- where the blues had literally been born, bred, and buttered. This remastered and ...

That's What I Say: John Scofield Plays the Music of Ray Charles

by
John Scofield
With John Scofield, a big part of the fun is never knowing what the guitarist will do from one album to the next. He might provide an album that is abstract and cerebral, or he might come up with something funky and groove-oriented; That's What I Say: John Scofield Plays the Music of Ray Charles is a perfect example of the latter. Featuring well ...

Etta James
Simply one of the greatest live blues albums ever captured on tape. Cut in 1963 at the New Era Club in Nashville, the set finds Etta James in stellar shape as she forcefully delivers her own "Something's Got a Hold on Me" and "Seven Day Fool" interspersed with a diet of sizzling covers ("What'd I Say," "Sweet Little Angel," "Money," "Ooh Poo Pah ...

Containing 20 tracks, including his hits "Last Date," "San Antonio Rose" and "Stood Up," the disc captures Cramer's signature stride piano style in all of its glory on a variety of country, pop and R&B ...

Golden Era of Rock 'n' Roll: 1954-1963

by
Various Artists
You'd need a wall full of early rock & roll records to get a truly definitive summary of the best sounds from the music's first decade. That qualification noted, this is about as good a sampling of the most important early rock & roll hits and performers as could be stuffed into a three-CD, 62-song set, and deserves the highest rating even if it ...

Just one of many of Jerry Lee's Sun best-ofs, this one largely sticks to the original single releases with a few strays like "Drinkin' Wine Spo-Dee-O-Dee" thrown in to fill things out. The transfers are as clean as it gets and although this doesn't replace Rhino's version of essentially the same material, it does offer a few stray tracks ("Love on ...

Perhaps Collectables Records should not get their hopes up on receiving "Truth in Advertising" awards for this two-disc Roy Orbison collection; a handy double set which compiled Orbison's classic Monument sides along with highlights from his releases for Sun, M-G-M, and Virgin would be a more than welcome addition to his catalog, but despite the ...

Adequately covering the rich legacy of Atlantic Records' first 50 years over only two CDs is an impossible task, even concentrating only on rock and R&B, so it would be difficult to expect Atlantic Records 50 Years: Gold Anniversary to offer anything more than a cursory overview. The compilation does illustrate the incredible depth and diversity ...

An early and still-valuable collection of prime Atlantic R&B and soul sides. The label that both stole and helped foster some of Stax and Hi Records' thunder brings you a predictably far-reaching mix, ranging from the proto-rock & roll of Big Joe Turner and vocal harmony riches by the Drifters to classic Southern soul from Otis Redding, Aretha ...

The music of Hound Dog Taylor & the HouseRockers remains the place where rock & roll and the blues meet at the end of a dark alley.

Other blues guitarists used distortion before Taylor, but he explored it to depths only ...
