Feel Like Doin' Something Wrong
- Combining his sure fingered guitar work with one of the most expressive voices in blues, this longtime Delta juke joint performer essays nine originals and interprets five cover songs in a compelling manner that points out the depth & solidity of his feeling |
Wrong Doers Respect Me
- Farmer is the genuine article, a bluesman who has truly feels the ache in the lyrics of the material, he succeeds in capturing and holding one's attention as he goes about his business. No doubt he'd be the first to dismiss naive, unwarranted comparisons with the great Delta bluesmen of the past. |
Rediscovered - Mississippi John Hurt
- John Hurt's playful country blues was first heard in the late 1920s, but it wasn't until his rediscovery during the 1960s folk revival that his remarkable talent was fully appreciated.... |
Let It Shine - Roscoe Shelton
- Let it Shine, is a modern blues treasure, and shine it does. Each track is brilliantly executed vocally, the satin finish of Shelton's lilting tenor voice lending color and soul to the solidly written, true to life lyrics. The years have not diminished Shelton's ability to take lift a song to its highest artistic potential while retaining the earthiness that is blues |
Blues On The Bayou - B. B. King
has still got the mojo working after all these years, a true blues guitarist with a voice thats powerfully bluesy and raw,the music is in his blood and comes right across on the cd! Blues on The Bayou is a return to B.B's great blues roots; simple, to the point, and not overly produced. Simply this is one of B.B.'s best |
Turn The Heat Up - Shemekia copeland
- This debut album from bluesman Johnny Copeland's daughter is a powerful surprise. Powerful, because Shemekia Copeland's voice has the impact of a mature vocalist's despite her youth; a surprise, because it's so rare to hear such great performance from one so young. We'll hear a lot more from her for years to come. |
Greatest Hits - Stevie Ray Vaughan
- This album contains incredible fusions of Blues, Jazz, and Popular sounds integrated so smoothly that the listener has difficulty realizing the transitions and blends. Intricate melodic patterns dance in memory for days to come. Complex emotional tones pulsate, always ending in an uplifting refrain. |
Fundamental - Bonnie Raitt
- The production showcases Bonnie's soulfully seductive vocals and stinging, singing slide work in a way that almost no record ever has. Not a album of blues songs but definetly an album made by a blues slide player. Both her guitar playing and her singing are excellent!

Trouble Is... - Kenny Wayne Shepherd
- It's not hard to understand the appeal of Kenny Wayne Shepherd, currently being hailed as the heir to Stevie Ray Vaughan. He's young (an increasing rarity in blues and blues-related genres), he writes catchy songs, and his "Blue on Black" is widely played on rock radio |
The Very Best Of Buddy Guy - Buddy Guy
- ...the title of this single CD is accurate; it is the perfect case brief for Guy's skills....The man is a master of the perfectly controlled intense guitar solo that works its way from a whisper to a scream..., does a good job of covering the breadth of Guy's career...an excellent introduction to his music.. |
