Home >> Blues| Previous | Next |  | Talking Timbuktu
Talking Timbuktu is a groundbreaking record that vividly illustrates the Africa-Blues connection in real time. Ali Farka Toure, one of Mali's leading singer-guitarists, has a trance-like, bluesy style that, although deeply rooted in Malian tradition, bears astonishing similarity to that of John Lee Hooker or even Canned Heat. It's a mono-chordal vamp, with repetitive song lines cut with shards of blistering solo runs that shimmer like a desert mirage. Toure may be conversant with some ...

VISIT AMAZON.COM'S PAGE |  | Burnin' Down the House: Live at the House of Blues
Just when it seems that the purr has left Etta James's estimable voice, about halfway through this live concert recorded in 2001 at LA's House of Blues, she begins her eternally romantic ballad 'At Last,' and the years tumble away. James's singing becomes flexible as a tenor saxophone, building to a lovely, serpentine diminuendo, which she caps with an arching phrase that dissipates in a misty exhalation of breath. It's such a beautiful, brilliantly executed performance that it's ...

Only in America could an album like this have come together: Eva Cassidy, a young vocalist who, had she lived, might have gone on to become her generation's favorite song interpreter, trading verses with Chuck Brown, seasoned godfather of the D.C. underground funk movement known as go-go. By the time this was recorded in 1992, the go-go trend had long since peaked for Brown, while the twentysomething Cassidy was still an unknown local ...

VISIT AMAZON.COM'S PAGE |  | Riding with the King
It sounds like the beginning of a story: 'So, Slowhand and the King of the Blues were riding in a car ...' If this is a musical journey, it's the kind that rolls down long, empty stretches of country highway at 80 miles an hour, with the top down and the stereo blasting. Clapton and King may be more city than country, but this collection has the relaxed, laid-back feel that only comes ...

VISIT AMAZON.COM'S PAGE |  | At Last!
This is Etta James's first full-length album, recorded for Chess Records' Argo subsidiary in 1960. It taps all aspects of her then-blossoming talent. There's the crooning rock ballad 'My Dearest Darling' and the elegantly symphonic 'Sunday Kind of Love.' Her classic, brokenhearted 'All I Could Do Was Cry' follows the sweet title track and the bawdy blues stomper 'I Just Want to Make Love to You.' And there's a version of Harold Arlen's 'Stormy Weather,' which Lena Horne made famous. ...

VISIT AMAZON.COM'S PAGE |  | Where the Action Is
Guitarist Sue Foley returns with Where the Action Is, a confident collection of original material and covers, like 2000's Love Comin' Down. A highlight is 'Two Bluebirds,' a slow, laconic paean to the effort that goes into love. Foley's distinctive voice, which may not appeal to all tastes, is perfect for this song; her drawn-out enunciation goes hand-in-glove with the slower, hot-weather material. The cover of the Rolling Stones' 'Stupid Girl' is unsurprising, given that Foley's a ...

VISIT AMAZON.COM'S PAGE |  | Presumed Innocent
Raised near the border of Texas and Louisiana, Marcia Ball continues to claim dual citizenship for her music, forging a rollicking roadhouse groove that has never sounded richer or more vital than it does here. With her piano style steeped in the soul of New Orleans, Ball and coproducer Doyle Bramhall enlist the Cajun accordion of Pat Breaux and the bluesy Texas bite of Pat Boyack's guitar and Gary Primich's harmonica on a collection ...

VISIT AMAZON.COM'S PAGE |  | Wicked Grin
Wicked Grin is wicked indeed, just as sharp and clear and perceptive as you'd expect of an album of Tom Waits songs performed by veteran bluesman John Hammond. That basically sums up what Wicked Grin is all about; only one song on the album, the traditional 'I Know I've Been Changed,' wasn't written by Waits. This gorgeous recording should appeal to fans of both artists: Waits's songwriting is as incisive as ever, and Hammond explores ...

VISIT AMAZON.COM'S PAGE |  | Nothing Personal
Like many other senior bluesmen, Delbert McClinton is getting back to basics: Nothing Personal, his first album for New West, is the raw, stripped-down sort of material that sounds best when you know it comes from experience. It is this sense of things seen and done that pervades every track, and which prevents songs like 'When Rita Leaves' and 'Don't Leave Home Without It' from lapsing into sentimentality. The more emotional, personal numbers--the album's title notwithstanding, this ...

VISIT AMAZON.COM'S PAGE |  | The Allman Brothers at Fillmore East
There has never been a better showcase for improvisational rock than this 1971 concert recording, and few (if any) live rock albums are in its rank. With only two studio albums (and plenty of touring) under their belt, the Georgia sextet tore into the Fillmore East with road-tested buoyancy. Titanic guitarist Duane Allman was at the peak of his powers, pushing his foil, Dickey Betts, to unsurpassed peaks. Vocalist-keyboardist Gregg Allman would have been a star in any other setting; ...
