The Essential Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble

CD-Charts > Music > Blues
by: Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble

Release Date October 01, 2002
Some of the tracks on this splendid, reasonably priced 2 CD-set could peel paint off road signs. Self-taught, unable to read a note of music, Stevie Ray Vaughan displays technical virtuosity that at times seems almost Faustian, it's hard to believe that what you're hearing is even possible. Most of all, SRV is a complete Texas blues package, his singing is excellent, his command of the blues idiom so total one imagines he must have dreamt blues as well as lived them - everything works, right down to the outfits and soul patch.

In a sense, SRV was the brightest hope of a next generation of blues masters. He picked his idols wisely, patterning himself after Albert King, Buddy Guy, Albert Collins, among others. However, there are ... Read More:

Soul Speak

by: Michael McDonald

Release Date March 04, 2008
Soul Speak is good, but not as superior as Motown II. He still has a great voice, and it works well with soul/Motown tunes.

Greatest Hits: 30 Years of Rock

CD-Charts > Music > Blues
by: George Thorogood

Release Date May 18, 2004
It's George Thoroughgood, and all of his best, most rockin songs, right here, one right after another. You can't be in a bad mood while listening to this, it will rip you right out of your old skin with the first riff of righteous, foundational rock n' roll slide guitar.

B-b-b-b-b-b-b baaad! Bad to the Bone!

Unplugged

CD-Charts > Music > Blues
by: Eric Clapton

Release Date August 25, 1992
This cd is worthy of its reputation, and is the last great recording by Eric Clapton. "Malted Milk", "Walkin' Blues", "Layla", which he was able to successfully alter to fit an acoustic setting, "Nobody Know You When You're Down & Out", the classic made famous by Bessie Smith and later covered by an aged Scrapper Blackwell, and "Tears In Heaven", are all exceptionally great tracks. "Hey Hey" is not one of Broonzy's better songs, so I'm not sure why Clapton chose to record it. "Old Love" is mediocre, but "Running On Faith" is wonderfully done. This disc would have been even better if Clapton would have performed the material solo, much like the legendary Bluesmen he so greatly admired used to do, day in and day out. However, he has admitted in ... Read More:

At Last!

CD-Charts > Music > Blues
by: Etta James

Release Date July 27, 1999
I'd ordered several of these CDs, which were put into one bubble envelope, but not individually wrapped -- consequently, they arrived with three of the jewel cases cracked.

Hoodoo Man Blues

CD-Charts > Music > Blues
by: Junior Wells

Release Date June 10, 1993
HOODOO MAN BLUES by Junior Wells is a GREAT blues album. If you like Chicago electric blues, you've GOT to have this CD! The CD also has some out-takes that were never on the original album. These are great too. Junior Wells is my favorite bluesman of all time. His harp playing is fantastic as are his vocals. I almost forgot to mention that Buddy Guy plays absolutely fantastic guitar on this album!
