Ronnie Earl - Ronnie Earl & Friends





















Guitarist Ronnie Earl (born Ronald Horvath) was born March 10, 1953, in New York City, but later moved to Boston. In 1975, while attending a Muddy Waters concert, he was so moved by what he heard that he decided to learn the guitar and dedicate himself to mastering the blues tradition. He was soon playing in clubs in and around the Boston area as well as backing various blues artists on tour. He claims that his main influences were T-Bone Walker, B.B. King, Magic Sam, and Robert Jr. Lockwood. In 1980, he replaced Duke Robillard in Roomful of Blues and worked with that band for eight years, helping to take the band to national acclaim. In the 1980s, Earl recorded three solo albums with his band the Broadcasters that were very well received: Smokin', (Black Top, 1983) They Call Me Mr. Earl (Black Top, 1984), and I Like It When It Rains (Antone's, 1990). Earl left Roomful of Blues in 1988 and continues to perform and record. His intense guitar style, somewhat in the style of T-Bone Walker, has made him one of the most respected young players in the business - much in demand as a backup musician for recording dates.--Michael Erlewine, All Music Guide

The Blues Right Off - Our Blues Bag (1970) RARE





















An incredibly rare album, Our blues bag changes hands for princely sums. It was privately pressed in 500 copies and housed in a cloth bag that was silkscreened with the band's and record name, and also contained a lithographic print by venetian artist Vittorio Basaglia.
No counterfeit exists, nor foreign reissues.
This not a review as such, it's info as to this crazy album & how it came about. Having peddled early demos to record companies in Italy and getting a flat "no thanks" at every turn, we decided to record and release on our own what became "Our Bluesbag". The cover is hand-printed (!!) by famous Venetian artist Vittorio Basaglia, inside a jute sac with an album title stencil and the final vinyl album was done in 500 copies... mine was lost years ago in a fire, though. The recording was done by Ermanno Velludo, one of those guys gifted with Golden Ears - he was to us what George Martin was for The Beatles, and a de facto fifth member of The Blues Right Off. We did it all in about 2 days, a lot of it being "first takes". Essentially, it is a live album, done in a painter's studio and not a proper recording studio! It rates 5 stars for our determination of "going against the grain" and for Ermanno's incredible sonic result. All the material is home-grown - no covers here. We sold copies on the street in Venice and at concerts and that "ultra-rare" tag is correct as it wasn't distributed through shops. We later found out that "Our Bluesbag" is now a legendary album and also expensive to get, if you can get one! If you're interested in more about those obscure days in Italy, check the site italianprog.com - under Artists/B there's more Blues Right Off info... In retrospect, it's kinda strange as to Italian "firsts" we accumulated:first "location studio" recording / releasefirst home-grown release / own-distribution in Italy first hand-made / hand-printed coverfirst Blues album in Italy Ermanno still has original tapes but we've resisted so far to re-release anything. So for those who haven't had the possibility to listen to the music here's a short description:it's a bit like John Mayall, vocally, as I haven't got a nasty, deep & growling voice - also, I figured that I wasn't exactly born in some Black US ghetto being Danish and very white in terms of looks. A song like "Born On The Highway" is about being a truckdriver going from coast to coast across the USA, endlessly. Another one is about the "Black Angel" of Berlin, then in the news. It's an attempt at having the Blues - anyone can "have the Blues" - you don't need to be Black, in other words. Claes Cornelius - on behalf of The Blues Right Off

Otis Grand - Hipster Blues





















It has taken the big fella over two years to get this new CD onto the racks. Pressing family responsibilities took him over the pond to Winston-Salem, North Carolina, where the local blues scene was in decline but he managed to give it a boot up the rear and also soak up the sound unique to the Carolinas – beach music. In areas like Myrtle Beach the rhythms of 1950s r&b and 1960s dance-based tunes are still to be heard. The classic blues originals and beach music sowed the seed for the CDthat became 'Hipster Blues'.

Al Kooper - Rekooperation





















The best of all of Al Kooper's studio albums, Rekooperation is a mostly instrumental album, on which the artist (playing organ and piano, and occasional guitar) and a band including Jimmy Vivino, Harvey Brooks, and Fred Walcott, among others, roar and pound their way through a baker's dozen of R&B, rock & roll, and soul classics. Everything from chestnuts like "Soul Twist," "Honky Tonk," "Johnny B. Goode," "Clean Up Woman," and " "Don't Be Cruel" to originals such as "Downtime" and "Alvino Johnson's Shuffle," without a notable gap in quality between them, are included -- and the one vocal number, "I Wanna Little Girl," contains one of the finest singing performances that Kooper has ever turned in on record (but is also played so well, that it would work as an instrumental too). In many ways, this recording is a distant cousin to Blood, Sweat & Tears' Child Is Father to the Man, and was his first attempt at leading a band since that 1968 venture, which was sort of fitting since it led to Soul of a Man, Kooper's live-in-concert career retrospective album, the next time out. ~ Bruce Eder, All Music Guide

Roy Buchanan - Live In Japan



















Live in Japan (2003) is said to have been Roy Buchanan's favorite of all his platters, and ironically, it was never issued stateside. However, as word spread, the title became an essential addition to his discography. Fact is that it may have never come out at all, had there not been a loophole in Buchanan's contract with former label Polydor, giving them control over his non-North American output. Joining the guitarist for his 1977 tour of Japan are John Harrison (bass), Malcolm Lukens (keyboards), and Byrd Foster (drums/vocals). They are likewise the core contributors to Buchanan's most recent studio effort, A Street Called Straight (1976), though no tracks from the album are represented here. Instead, the set consists of recent collaborations, definitive cover versions, and a few seminal Buchananclassics. The immaculate fidelity immediately separates Live in Japan from most other releases in his canon. The enthusiastic yet typically reserved Japanese audience is first treated to a laid-back and stretched-out reading of Booker T. & the MG's' "Soul Dressing." The backing trio provide a rock-solid bed for Buchanan's sinuous interjections and spacious melody lines. "Sweet Honey Dew" is a perfect vehicle for some incendiary string shredding, although the actual tune is somewhat of a derivation of a standard blues riff. Perhaps more fitting is the rousing rendition of Larry Williams' "Slow Down," uncovering the nimble accuracy accompanying the sonic kick in Buchanan's piercing fret work. Contrasting this is the lengthy jam on "Blues Otani," as the ensemble ably improvise in and around the guitarist. Live in Japan concludes with an intimate and affective "Sweet Dreams," which may well have been the artist's unofficial anthem, as his unique interpretation undoubtedly made it a signature piece. If you own but one concert recording of Buchanan, let it be this one, as you will not be disappointed. ~ Lindsay Planer, All Music Guide

The Ford Blues Band - In Memory Of Michael Bloomfield



















Following their 2001 tribute to Paul Butterfield (credited to Robben Ford & the Ford Blues Band), the Ford Blues Band pick 13 tracks they feel best-represent the harmonica bandleader's illustrious -- but short-lived -- guitarist, Mike Bloomfield. Interspersed with five fascinating but brief interview snippets of Bloomfield chatting about his first employer and playing blues in general, the band, with help from brother Robben Ford, guitarist Chris Cain, and a sparingly utilized horn section, judiciously choose many obscure selections from the guitarist's diverse projects. "Jimi the Fox" comes from the little-known Two Jews Blues, "Peter's Trip" was a tune included on the B-movie soundtrack to The Trip, and "Next Time You See Me" as well as "The Ones I Loved Are Gone" were originally found on Bloomfield's seldom-heard and generally disappointing solo album, It's Not Killing Me. This band not only resurrects these forgotten gems, they bring them alive with sizzling authority. Ford burns on a version of East-West's "I Got a Mind to Give up Living," guest harmonica player Andy Just sounds scarily like Butterfield on a supercharged "Blues With a Feeling," and the horn-infused cover of the Electric Flag's "Groovin' Is Easy," featuring female backing vocals, nearly outdoes the original. Guitarists Cain and Ford do a terrific job re-creating Bloomfield's terse style without aping it and these reinterpretations never seem rote. The recording quality is crisp but not slick, the performances are scintillating, production by drummer Patrick Ford is lean, and the arrangements bring out the best in these tunes. Except for shoddy graphics that look like they were thrown together overnight, this is an inspired project that will hopefully expose Bloomfield's music to another generation. ~ Hal Horowitz, All Music Guide

Tony Joe White - Best Of




















Twenty tracks from 1969-1973, the period of Tony Joe White's greatest success, including "Polk Salad Annie" and White's own version of his composition "Rainy Night in Georgia." Most of this is quality swamp rock with pop-soul-conscious production; on cuts like "High Sheriff of Calhoun Parrish," it sounds very much like he was trying to achieve a groove in the mold of Bobbie Joe Gentry's "Ode to Billie Joe." Sometimes he gets real down-home in a stomping backwoods blues style that makes him sound a little like a White counterpart to John Lee Hooker, as on "Stockholm Blues." If there's any criticism to be levied against this music, it's in its occasional lack of variety, White mining staple swamp rock boogie riffs for all they're worth. However, few, if any, performers and writers were as skilled as White in doing so, and he has a fine knack for sharp storytelling lyrics. ~ Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide

Todd Wolfe Blues Project - Live from Manny's Car Wash





















East Coast guitar wizard Todd Wolfe’s first CD is a tantalizing mix of performance and potential that leaves you anxiously awaiting its follow-up. Wolfe, former lead guitarist for Sheryl Crow, has turned his focus to the blues and he and his band mates have much to offer. This is a raw and powerful exploration of the genre, and Wolfe spices his originals with a heavy dose of the masters: Willie Dixon, Otis Rush and B.B. King. Wolfe, who hosts the Sunday night jams at NYC’s legendary Manny’s Car Wash, picked up the guitar at age 13 was inspired by the likes of Clapton, Beck, Freddie King, B.B. King, Otis Rush and Buddy Guy. He’s fronted a number of bands and has shared the bill with Albert Collins, Johnny Winter, Son Seals, Robin Trower and Blues Traveler. With over a dozen TV appearances under his belt, Wolfe has channeled his energies into his blues band. He gets the ball rolling with Dixon’s classic I Can’t Quit You Baby and Wolfe’s solid vocals and soaring, searing guitar solos are but an appetizer for what’s to come. Stop Messin’ Around is an energetic song with a rollicking opening solo and Claptonesque vocals. On the Run is an original with a thunderous intro punctuated by Eric Massimino’s bass line and powerful drumming by Yves Gerard. Dixon’s Same Thing is a perfect rendition, tastefully done with a reverential opening and inspired vocals. The original Four Walls is a heavy guitar tune demonstrating Wolfe’s vocal versatility and accomplished slide work. It’s also a perfect forum for Mike Lattrell’s keyboard wizardry. Homework, an Otis Rush cover is a polished version with blistering axe work and displays another side of Wolfe’s vocalizations. The CD closes with B.B. King’s Eyesight to the Blind, well done and thoughtfully played. The Todd Wolfe Blues Project has fired its opening salvo, and the next round is eagerly awaited.

J.B Hutto - Slideslinger





















While he was not in top shape during the early '80s, J.B. Hutto could still bend strings, churn out whiplash chords, and offer exuberant shouts, which he did on this '82 set, reissued on a '92 CD with two bonus cuts. He did not always hit every note on the fretboard or maintain his vocal depth, but his spirit never flagged. Hutto's jagged lines, energized vocals, and inspiring presence made his originals standouts, while his covers of Little Walter Jacobs' "Tell Me Mama" and Elmore James' "Look At The Yonder Wall" resonated with the quality that only a genuine blues survivor could provide. The backing band of guitarist Steve Coveney, bassist Kenny Krumbholz, and drummer Leroy Pina gave Hutto good support, wisely yielding him the spotlight, where he belongs. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide

Bryan Lee - Live and Dangerous





















New Orleans bluesman Bryan Lee gives modern electric blues a good turn. He could teach the Blues Brothers a thing or two. At 62, he's still busy on the road, creating soul-stirring blues for live audiences all over the world. Recorded at the Spectrum Concert Hall in Montreal, Live & Dangerous features a program of original songs and well-worn covers. Lee fires up his electric guitar and drives each message home. He sings 'em with a youthful voice and convincing inflection. He's the real article.Bruce Katz adds a powerful organ and piano voice that lifts up every song in celebration, as Lee's fiery guitar sizzles with emotion.“Second Line Home” combines the tradition of New Orleans jazz and blues into one soul-strutting outburst that invites the feeling of Mardi Gras. So why not celebrate all year 'round? We need that.Ike Turner's “Gave You What You Wanted” sets the house on fire with a funk anthem that simmers gracefully in a rhythmic groove. “Hug Me Til it Hurts” drags a little slower with the kind of blues that leaves a lasting impression. Just try to stop yourself from moving to the rhythm as Lee and the band cook this one to a slow boil. His guitar speaks loudly and seriously.Lee's “Six String Therapy,” the longest track on the album at over fifteen minutes, lets him explain what the blues does for us and how important it is for our daily survival. We've all learned our lessons, and it sure does feel good to share them with someone like Bryan Lee who's been there, done that, and knows how to explain the message in stellar musical terms.
