The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

CD-Charts > Music > Blues
by: Lauryn Hill

Release Date August 25, 1998
This is what American music is...carved from her island style and fused with her street savvy, this album shines with everything Lauryn Hill was and is, and what she represents is an undying, unyielding spirit which recognizes the best and the worst of society and turns it into something to which everyone can relate. With funky beats and sweet, sweet melodies!

Richmond Blues

CD-Charts > Music > Blues
by: Cephas & Wiggins

Release Date July 29, 2008
I didn't have any trouble with the CD that the other reviewer had - the issue must have been isolated/random. The music on this release is a fine example of Piedmont Blues. Acoustic, jocular, nimble, thoughtful, and honest. Just guitar, harmonica, and the ragged-but-right sound of John Cephas singin' the blues.

The Outsider

CD-Charts > Music > Blues
by: Walter Trout

Release Date June 24, 2008
I'm a fan of the blues but did not have a Walter Trout disc in my collection. I saw this one and decided to make it my first and give him a try. I am thrilled that I did! I can't stop listening to this excellent disc. Walter does play from his gut and as a listener you can feel the soul. His guitar playing is both raw at times yet soft, tender and expressive when necessary. I recommend this disc highly! Enjoy.

Fender Presents: Getting Started on Acoustic Guitar -- A Guide for Beginners

CD-Charts > Music > Blues
starring: Keith Wyatt

Release Date February 26, 2002
I liked the verbal sincerety and clarity of the instructor. His teaching style and playing command are inspiring, and for this I would give him 5 stars. I did get good tips from him that I now have to just practice as much as possible. The fact that the instructor taught his lessons with a Fender electric guitar throughout the DVD was a big turn off for me and unfortunately weighs quite a bit on my overall rating. I wish the DVD cover would not mislead customers, and I wisk that other reviewers had commented on this, as it would have changed my decision to purchase this DVD.

Are You Experienced

CD-Charts > Music > Blues
by: The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Release Date April 22, 1997
."Jimmi Hendrix, baby believe me, set the world on fire!"

In Eric Burdon's great song Monterey, about the Monterey Pop festival, is this prophetic line about the great one, and it turned out to be so true.

In his brief solo career,(he was once guitar player for the Isley Brothers for a time) Hendrix went from the opening act for an infamous Monkees concert, to one of the most influential musicians of rock music. I can still remember the first time I heard this album as a kid, and still have the songs burnt into my brain after all these years.

So here's the deal,

This CD is a great commuting album, or a good introduction to youngsters about how there is much better music to be had than what is coming ... Read More:

The Allman Brothers at Fillmore East

CD-Charts > Music > Blues
by: The Allman Brothers Band

Release Date October 14, 1997
The first time I heard this record back in 1971 when it was first released
my ears were opened. I was into the blues and was blown away with the duel lead guitars that Dickie Betts and Duane Allman played so well.
When I look back and evaluate who the great guitar players in Rock history are I have to include Duanne Allman among the very best.
It is as Eric Clapton once said "We were coming at the same thing from a different direction, I was bending strings and Duanne was playing slide.
Duanne Allman to this day is still possibly the best slide player I have ever heard. Ironically Derek Trucks is probably the best I have heard recently, ironically both from the Allman Brothers.
This Album is an abbreviated version of the classic ... Read More:

Back in the High Life

CD-Charts > Music > Blues
by: Steve Winwood

Release Date October 01, 1990
From listening to this album, it's hard to believe that Steve Winwood used to be the lead singer for the great 60s rock groups Traffic and The Spencer Davis Group, and while some purists may call him a sellout, there's no denying that whatever kind of music Steve Winwood makes, he can do it good. Bouncy upbeat pop perfect for work, the car, or even just cleaning the house, this album made huge hits out of "Higher Love", "The Finer Things" and the title track, and all three of these (particularly Higher Love), still get played almost daily on adult contemporary radio stations. The slower paced "My Love's Leavin'" is also first-rate.
