To evaluate almost a century of blues recordings and narrow it down to thirty albums takes much thought. First and foremost, you must include recordings that were important for their wide influence. Early Delta musicians like Charlie Patton and Son House influenced Howlin’ Wolf and Muddy Waters, respectively, who themselves started in the Delta and [...]
In the 1960's, WLAC DJ, 'Hoss' Allen hosted a television show called The !!!! Beat shot in Dallas, Texas. He featured all the top RnB and Soul artists of the day, including Otis Redding; Little Milton, Esther Phillips, Joe Tex,...
One of the most satisfying contemporary Brown discs of all for the discerning blues fan. Nothing but swinging, horn-abetted blues adorn this album, as Gate pays tribute to an influence and a protege by covering T-Bone Walker's "Strollin' with Bones" and Albert Collins's "Frosty." Brown's jauntily revives Junior Parker's "I Feel Alright Again" and Percy Mayfield's "Give Me Time to Explain," while his...
Only 12 songs long, this collection remains the best place to begin appreciating why so many young Texas blues guitarists fell in love with Gatemouth Brown's style (until MCA decides to compile the ultimate Brown package, anyway). Listen to the way his blazing axe darts and weaves through trombonist Pluma Davis' jazzy horn chart on 1954's "Okie Dokie Stomp," and/or the stratospheric licks drenching...

More Dirty Laundry: The Soul of Black Country is the second compilation of its kind from Trikont, packed with two dozen tracks of soul singers goin' country. It's also pretty darn great. While I'm not convinced all the artists fall under the "soul" umbrella, there are some real classics here. Along with better known contributions by the likes of Ruth Brown, Sammy Davis Jr., and Ike & Tina Turner, numerous...

Like many blues musicians, Scott Ellison is little known in the United States outside of his hometown of Tulsa Oklahoma, despite the release of 4, rather good CDs. The first three, all on little known indie lables like Redhot Records and Fishhead Records, are rather difficult to find but are worth the effort. By way of background, Ellison got his start with the Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown band and...
