Reverend Gary Davis - 1971 - From Blues To Gospel [320]

His most Rev. Gary Davis was an active musician in addition to being a guitar instructor during his later years. From Blues to Gospel contains 13 selections featuring his inimitable performance style on an assortment of gospel and secular blues tunes. By the time of these 1971 recordings — a year prior to his passing — Davis' legend had long-been established. Likewise, his influence had become far reaching and was being felt by a concurrent generation of artists. Electric rockers the Grateful Dead and Hot Tuna, and acoustic troubadours David Bromberg and Stefan Grossman were bringing both his material and variations on Davis' delivery to audiences that otherwise may not have been exposed to him.

South Memphis String Band - 2010 - Home Sweet Home [192]

When Luther Dickinson, Alvin Youngblood Hart and Jimbo Mathus got together to make music, it certainly wasn't out of commercial consideration. This troika of roots-imbued musical pros coalesced through a shared vision and consuming passion for the music of their forebears, most notably the Mississippi Sheiks, Memphis Jug Band, Gus Cannon s Jug Stompers and other practitioners of pre-blues era roots sounds. Home Sweet Home, their first album, out on Memphis International January 19th, showcases their passion for the old timey tradition that is underscored by the group's name: South Memphis String Band.

Preston Shannon - 1996 - Midnight In Memphis [320]

Memphis-based guitarist, singer, and songwriter Preston Shannon delivers soul-filled vocals atop his burning, venom-tipped guitar chords. His voice is deep and guttural, and he's a veteran of hundreds of live club shows and recording sessions as a sideman. Shannon's specialty is a blend of Southern-fried soul and blues, and his albums and live shows - always with a horn section - are an eclectic mix of danceable, grooving tunes and slow, soulful ballads.

Joanna Connor - 1992 - Fight [192]

To date, Joanna Connor's studio work has not lived up the live-wire energy of her personal performances. Fight takes a major step toward setting this right. This stuff wails, especially Robert Johnson's "Walking Blues" which Connor reinvents courtesy of some stinging slidework.

Tony Monaco Trio - 2002 - Master Chops T [192]

On organist Tony Monaco's second album, he's accompanied by his regular group--Derek DiCenzo on guitar and Louis Tsamous on drums. Like its predecessor, Burnin' Grooves, this set places Monaco squarely in the company of such forebears as Jimmy Smith, Lonnie Smith, and Jimmy McGriff. That Monaco has also overcome daunting health obstacles (he survived neuralgic amyotrophy) is a testament both to his personal drive and the magical lure of music. Half the album is Monaco originals, with the rest being a fairly robust parcel of covers--numbers by Sonny Rollins, Woody Herman, Pat Metheny, and others. Monaco steps up to the vocal mic to sing two songs, "Luck Be a Lady" and "Me and Mrs. Jones." A trio of horn players guest, but the classic organ trio is at the heart of the proceedings, and a tight little engine they are.

Karen Lovely - 2009 - Lucky Girl [VBR]

The stunning debut recording, Lucky Girl, by Oregon blues vocalist Karen Lovely is about to take the music loving world by storm. Playing through Lucky Girl is like listening to a history of blues, rhythm & blues and soul all wrapped into one knockout musical package. She covers the spectrum of excellence, from the opening bars of B.B. King's Tell Me Baby to the “gotta smile” handling of John Lee Hooker's Boom Boom into the soulful rendering of the Dennis Walker/ Alan Mirikitani collaboration, Too Little, Too Late. Along with these luminaries, Ms. Lovely also pays tribute to other icons of the genre including Big Mama Thornton, Willie Dixon and Betty James.

John Lee Hooker - 1967 - Live At Cafe Au Go-Go (And Soledad Prison) [320]

Simply one of the greatest live blues recordings ever. Hooker plays alone at Soledad, yet the real thrill is hearing him backed at Greenwich Village's Cafe Au-Go-Go in 1966 by Muddy Waters and his band, including pianist Otis Spann, unsung harmonica giant George Smith, Francis Clay on drums, and guitarists Sammy Lawhorn and Luther Johnson. All are at the height of their abilities, but it's Hooker who works like a hoodoo conjurer, making misery rain down in "Seven Days" and "When My First Wife Left Me." This August night's reading of "I'm Bad Like Jesse James" ranks among the most intimidating vocal performances ever taped. His guitar and baritone singing sink to rarely heard depths of the blues--that secret place in the music (known only to its absolute masters) where it becomes an elemental force. This CD reissue combines John Lee Hooker's "Live At The Cafe Au Go-Go" album with five songs from his "Live At Soledad Prison" LP.

The Blasters - 2005 - 4-11-44 [320]

The Blasters are a rock and roll music group formed in 1979 in Downey, California by brothers Phil Alvin (vocals and guitar) and Dave Alvin (guitar), with bass guitarist John Bazz and drummer Bill Bateman. Their self-described "American Music" was a blend of blues music, rockabilly, early rock and roll, punk rock, mountain music, and rhythm and blues. They have a devoted fan base and have received largely positive critical reviews, but have earned only limited mainstream success. Dave Alvin--always the group's primary songwriter--left the band in 1986 for a critically acclaimed if sometimes only moderately successful solo career. He was replaced by Hollywood Fats who appeared with them at Farm Aid. Phil Alvin has led various incarnations of The Blasters intermittently since then, including a few reunion tours and live albums of the original lineup. Personnel as of 2008 is Phil Alvin together with John Bazz, Keith Wyatt, and Bill Batemen.

Howlin' Wolf - 1966 - The Real Folk Blues [256]

This was originally released by Chess in 1966 to capitalize on the then-current folk music boom. The music, however -- a collection of Howlin' Wolf singles from 1956 to 1966 -- is full-blown electric, featuring a nice sampling of Wolf originals with a smattering of Willie Dixon tunes. Some of the man's best middle period work is aboard here; "Killing Floor," "Louise," the hair-raisingly somber "Natchez Burning," and Wolf's version of the old standard "Sitting on Top of the World," which would become his set closer in later years.

Produced by Chuck Leavell, Warren Haynes' first solo album is a refreshing change of pace from his work with the latter-day incarnation of the Allman Brothers Band. Although the feel of this album is undeniably classic rock, with much of Free's bluesy swagger, it is also vaguely reminiscent of '80s rock at times.

Preston Shannon - 1999 - All In Time [192]

Although regarded by some as a blues artist, Shannon is a practitioner of classic '70s-style Memphis R&B, and 'All In Time' is the kind of greasy, soulful album that had become far too much of a rarity by the time the '90s rolled around. The blues element comes in via Shannon's guitar work, trenchantand aggressive in the manner of Albert King. His thick, powerful solos weave their way through arrangements by famed Memphis producer Willie Mitchell. With Mitchell's horn-driven production and the steadily grooving bass lines of former Al Green sideman Leroy Hodges, 'All In Time can't help but evoke the spectre of Green. Shannon is his own man, though and his vocal style is far grittier and more urgent than Green's. Those enamored of energetic, electric blues will enjoy Shannon's work, as will fans of the classic Hi Records sound.

Formed in 1990, Big Fat Snake have grown to become one of Denmark’s longest-running rock bands, not bad for a group that pulled its name from a Bob Dylan lyric. But the Big Fat Snake story actually goes back to 1988, when guitarist Peter Viskinde and guitarist/vocalist Anders Blichfeldt met while recording a demo for a failed band named the Werners. After that fell apart, they teamed up with other rock veterans to form Big Fat Snake, releasing their eponymous debut album in 1991.

They signed to CBS Records the following year. Produced by Tom Werman, their debut album was a highly impressive collection of anthemic rockers, Despite its seemingly obvious commercial potential the album failed to make an impact. The band toured the southeast and became the biggest drawing circut club band as well as show openers for major recording acts. Stranger opened shows for Triumph, Quiet Riot and many other big name acts of the time. Their second album released nine years later was an EP of 4 songs. Stranger released several other albums all which are hard to find now, but well worth the search. Sadly in 1996 Guitarist Ronnie Garvin committed suicide.

Hiram Bullock - 2003 - Try Livin' It [128]

Dreadlocked electric guitarist Hiram Bullock is best known as a monster of modern jazz fusion, with legendary associations stretching from Jaco Pastorius to Gil Evans, David Sanborn, and the Brecker Brothers. He's also amassed an impressive catalog of solo recordings but offers a unique twist on his usual presentation on Try Livin' It, by working with a handful of legendary peers (Will Lee, Ricky Peterson) and offering more of his stellar string crackle — all in the service of pop-oriented vocal tunes. It's always exciting listening to Bullock's raging bed of electricity, but he has to mellow it out a bit for harmonic anthems like "After the Fall" and worldbeat lite tunes along the lines of "Try Livin' It." His voice is convincing on tunes like the up-groovin' title track, he gets a good groove going on "Can't Fight the Funk," and his attempts at thoughtful social commentary ("Greed," "Melancholy Night") are thought-provoking. But in the end, it's pretty much a well-played, slickly produced urban adult contemporary project with a few crunchy guitar lines and lots of little pleasantries that aren't half as exciting as his instrumental music. That's not to say it's not appealing, just that his singer/songwriter persona will most likely always be secondary to his fusion guitar god status.

Deborah Coleman - 2000 - Soft Place To Fall [256]

No doubt about it, Deborah Coleman's got chops. Voice, guitar, songwriting: they're all there, and musings as to why this woman hasn't yet achieved crossover success are necessarily uncharitable toward mainstream tastes and predilections. There's no question she could teach a thing or two to all those young axe slingers littering the blues-rock landscape; briefly put, she's better. Coleman seems to be heading in a more contemporary direction with Soft Place to Fall, in contrast to her previous release, 1998's Where Blue Begins. It might be her tastes are changing, or it might be she's making a bid for the mainstream. Unfortunately, the more rock she mixes into her blues, the less powerful the result. For better or worse, the blues are Coleman's strength. However, Soft Place to Fall does boast some incredibly good music, especially on the last few tracks: "So Damn Easy" has the nicest swing and sway to it, "Nothin' to Do with Love" goes straight for the gut, and the album ends on an extremely high note with "The Day It Comes." It's just a pity that it takes so long to hit its stride, especially considering the rocket-fueled energy Coleman is so capable of.

Danny Bryant's Redeye Band - 2010 - Just As I Am [128]

British guitarist Danny Bryant has released six albums prior to his latest, Just As I Am, and the new album contains 8 new songs along with a cover of John Hiatt’s Master Of Disaster. Shut Out The Light is a standard rocker to open with and Bryant sets the standard with a searing guitar solo. Blues For Buddy is a big, ballsy blues, just like Buddy Guy. For The Last Time is a rock ballad and Every Time The Devil Smiles is a slow, blues rocker to rival the best in the genre. The big production on the eponymous title track leads into John Hiatt’s Master Of Disaster, which is not a heavy rocker as you may have expected from the title. It has a strained vocal but it is appealing in a certain way and this will be a grower. The raunchy Day By Day is an excellent example of Bryant’s guitar work and he will beat you into submission as he slugs his way through The Hard Way. The 8 minute epic, Alone In The Dark is slow and powerful with a big guitar solo to finish. Bryant’s voice may not be the greatest but it is strangely effective and he has honed this and his superb guitar playing over a career that has yielded in excess of 2,000 live shows so far. A GREAT GIFT!!!!! TY!!!!

Lovers of extended jams and pyrotechnics may have to adjust their horizontal hold to appreciate this album. Most songs clock in at less than four minutes.

Yet the album's packed with interesting ideas--probably as many as you'd find in those extended jams. And though Primich doesn't stretch out of harp on most of these tunes, his playing is full of awe-inspiring tonal and textural nuances coloring each lick. He clearly stands at the forefront of today's blues harmonica scene.

Bluesman's Prayer is the fifth album from award-winning New Brunswick blues band Glamour Puss. Their follow-up to 2003's Wire and Wood finds the band in top form, providing a great blend of blues, rock and swing. The album was recorded in an old rural New Brunswick church, and some of the setting seeped into the sound, subtly infusing the tracks with a sense of serenity. Nothing about the album feels rushed or unfinished, which is all the more remarkable when you consider that what you're hearing is the first or second take of songs written as recently as the night before the recording was made.

Reidar Larsen is Norwegian blues pianist, singer and composer, known as Mr. Blues or Norway's uncrowned king of the blues. He was born in Oslo in 1955, moved to Stavanger when he was 5 years old. As the son of a piano builder it was probably almost natural to take piano lessons from ca. 7 years of age. His blues career began in 1980 when he formed Reidar Larsen Blues Quartet. In 1982 he debuted his solo album I'm a Bluesman. Today he has behind him 12 albums, participation in a number of other publications and ca.100 concerts annually for many years.

Roy Buchanan - 1977 - Loading Zone [192]

Loading Zone, Buchanan's second solo album for Atlantic, is produced by Stanley Clarke, a built-in guarantee for jazz-rock legitimacy. More importantly, Clarke's rep as the killer bass player of the decade has had a positive, prodding effect on Buchanan's playing. He shifts into overdrive on the first track, a fiery and propulsive Clarke composition entitled "The Heat of the Battle," and never looks back for the whole album. He has always been the master of the Fender Telecaster squeal, but on some of these tracks his frenzied excursions into overtones, harmonics and tight clusters of notes played largely in the upper register of the instrument move beyond traditional lead-guitar histrionics.

The Rill Thing represented Little Richard's most serious attempt at a comeback since his 1950s heyday.

"Greenwood Mississippi," released as a single concurrently with the album, also charted. Richard adopted a cajun/country-rock approach (even covering "Lovesick Blues"), with a heavy beat and twangy guitar backing up his rough, forceful vocals. Despite the indulgence of the rambling ten-minute instrumental title track, the LP was a convincing update on his early work. But it did not propel Little Richard back to the top of the charts.
