A Study In Blues: From Delta To Chicago To Texas
RegnYouth Archives (Free subscription) | 30/08/2008
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 [...]

Elmore James - a very useful mini-biography.
Used, but not abused (Free subscription) | 28/08/2008
Not my words, but …….. “No two ways about it, the most influential slide guitarist of the postwar period was Elmore James, hands down. Although his early demise from heart failure kept him from enjoying the fruits of the ’60s blues revival as his contemporaries Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf did, James left a ……..” ——//—— Sitting here [...]

Erykah Badu Gets The Blues
MTV Newsroom (Free subscription) | 18/08/2008
by Kurt Loder It seems a little odd to pick up a compilation of vintage blues tracks and find Erykah Badu’s name snuggled in among the credits. The album, due out next Tuesday, is called A Brief History of the Blues — a collection of classic performances by such masters as Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Bessie [...]

Musician Ana Popovic welcomes an open mind
Today's Tribune-Review (Free subscription) | 10/07/2008
Ana Popovic grew up in a family that valued music. Her father played guitar and bass and hosted jam sessions at home. It wasn't unusual to hear the music of Robert Johnson, Elmore James or Stevie Ray Vaughan, although Popovic tended to gravitate to the slide guitar of Bonnie Raitt.

Mojo’s Cold Shot: Bo Diddley, “Before You Accuse Me”
Popdose (Free subscription) | 26/06/2008
The passing of Bo Diddley got me on a hardcore listening jag. Doesn’t take much to get me back on Bo, and there are several other blues and quasi-blues dudes — Elmore James, ZZ Top, Buddy Guy, Chuck Berry, Professor Longhair, James Booker — that I go back to whenever I need to reset my [...]

LIL' ED & THE BLUES IMPERIALS: (2006) Rattleshake @ VBR
BLUES TOWN (The City Of Blues) (Free subscription) | 21/06/2008
Lil' Ed and the Blues Imperials are among the premiere party bands to have come out of Chicago during the '80s. Often compared to Elmore James and Hound Dog Taylor, fiery, flamboyant slide guitarist Lil' Ed Williams and his group play dedicated, rough-edged and hard-rocking dance music and have established an international reputation. A native of Chicago, Williams was first inspired by his uncle, renowned...

Clinton’s Final Curtain
Anderson@Large (Free subscription) | 09/06/2008
You can go home again. With her gracious concession speech, Hillary Clinton was welcomed back into the Democratic fold. Thousands of Clinton supporters gathered in the historic National Building Museum on Saturday and heard her say: Well, this isn't exactly the party I planned, but I sure like the company. Still, Clinton partied like it was 1999 1993 (and 1997) and showed that you can get a second...

LUTHER SNAKEBOY JOHNSON: Get Down to The Nitty Gritty @320K
BLUES TOWN (The City Of Blues) (Free subscription) | 21/05/2008
The confusing plethora of artists working under the name of Luther (nickname here) Johnson can leave even those with a decent knowledge of blues in a major state of confusion. But in this biographical entry, we concern ourselves with the life and times of Luther "Georgia Boy/Snake Boy" Johnson who, to make matters even more confusing, also worked and recorded under the names Little Luther and Luther...

BLUES TOWN (The City Of Blues) (Free subscription) | 14/05/2008
No two ways about it, the most influential slide guitarist of the postwar period was Elmore James, hands down. Although his early demise from heart failure kept him from enjoying the fruits of the '60s blues revival as his contemporaries Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf did, James left a wide influential trail behind him. And that influence continues to the present time -- in approach, attitude and tone...
