The Phenomenal Ruthie Foster

CD-Charts > Music > Blues
by: Ruthie Foster

Release Date February 06, 2007
I stopped listening to any kind of radio a few years ago, so my exposure to new artists (to me) is via the internet.

I was on YouTube watching clips of Sister Rosetta Tharpe (Up Above My Head) and saw a clip of Ruthie Foster doing a cover, needless to say I was intrigued and sought out her music and bought this release.

What a treat. Her blues/soul sensibilities are refreshing. I'll be be exploring the rest of her catalog,which I'm sure I'll enjoy.

You & Me

CD-Charts > Music > Blues
by: Joe Bonamassa

Release Date June 06, 2006
...there is a lot of folks here who might be dissapointed Joe didn't stay with a more straight on Blues style like Blues Deluxe rather than mixing in more rock influences, but I would disagree. I actually like You and Me way more.I typically just listen to You Upset Me, Blues Deluxe and Long Distance Blues.The way Joe opens the solo of Long Diatance Blues with the quote from John Mayall's Beano cd version of Double Crossing Time featuring Eric Clapton slays me every time, but I find myself hitting the "next" button more often than I'd like to admit(51 year old attention deficiency? hmmm...)In any case that does not happen with You and Me.I just press play and go along for the ride(I do skip Torn Down though ).One of my favorite tracks is the first one ...

The Breakthrough

CD-Charts > Music > Blues
by: Mary J. Blige

Release Date December 20, 2005
this is a really good album. Mary is happy but not corny like on "Love and Life" by far one of her worst albums ever besides share my world. This album shows Mary being very motherly, friendly and shes doing alot of soul bearing in these songs. I can really feel her on this album like I could on the Mary album and we all felt No more drama.

Recapturing the Banjo

CD-Charts > Music > Blues
by: Otis Taylor

Release Date February 05, 2008
Man.
Between Mavis Staples's new Ry Cooder produced album and this new piece of awe-inspiring artistry from Otis Taylor and friends, I'm just not sure which album lands in my top spot for the past year. But it has been an amazing year for Roots Music.
Buy this. You won't regret it. Even if you aren't a Banjo Fan (and didn't grow up in a little town that had yearly Banjo and Fiddler's contests, like I did,)...you'll love this album. Even if you aren't aware of THE OTIS TAYLOR and the fact that he left music for 20 years only to come back and make my idiot self cry with joy and sadness over his content on the first album back. Buy this disc.

Even if you aren't sure you could enjoy a Blues album? Buy it.

In My Own Words

CD-Charts > Music > Blues
by: Ne-Yo

Release Date February 28, 2006
I thoroughly enjoyed this CD because it just captured some of the emotions that I am going through at the moment. Although I am twice the age of the artist, the expressive emotional vibe that is given with each of the songs brings it all into perspective.

Nick of Time

CD-Charts > Music > Blues
by: Bonnie Raitt

Release Date October 25, 1990
I absolutely LOVE The Roads My Middle Name (11th song on this album) Why is it that we have never heard of this song or why it didn't go to #1??? As a blues singer myself, I am definitely working on this one and I know it will be well accepted and liked. I am so hooked.
