Folk Singer

CD-Charts > Music > Electric Blues Guitar
by: Muddy Waters

Release Date July 27, 1999
This is one of my alltime favorite blues albums. It is an acoustic album and Muddy shines in this format. The only thing I didn't care for on this version were the five bonus tracks. They just don't fit the vibe of the original version. On the other hand, it's some additional Muddy Waters for no extra cost! Get this album and you won't be disappointed.

At Newport

CD-Charts > Music > Electric Blues Guitar
by: Muddy Waters

Release Date February 27, 2001
This album is so good it should be mandatory listening before any young punk even thinks about playing guitar.

Great songs, great recording, even greater artist.

Buy it, play it and share it with folks who think rock and roll started with Elvis...

Down In Louisiana

CD-Charts > Music > Electric Blues Guitar
by: Sonny Landreth

Release Date June 04, 2001
I first became aware of Sonny Landreth in 2005 when he played the annual winter blues series at our local theater. Prior to that I had heard the name, and knew he occasionally played with Jimmy Buffett, but other than that was not familiar with his work. When it was announced that he was coming to town a friend of mine insisted that I go check him out. I did and they guy blew me away. Landreth is probably best known for his prowess on slide guitar, but he really can play just about any style. He hails from New Orleans and to this day there is still a lot of Cajun blues influence to his music. "Down In Louisiana" is a very early Landreth release back when he was paired up with vocalist / harmonica man Mel Melton in the mid 80's. The music is ... Read More:

Theme Time Radio Hour: With Your Host Bob Dylan

CD-Charts > Music > Electric Blues Guitar
from: Ace Records UK

Release Date February 26, 2008
Nice collection of tracks, but has none of Bob Dylan's commentary and patter from the radio show. That makes this disk a huge disappointment to me.

Two Steps from the Blues

CD-Charts > Music > Electric Blues Guitar
by: Bobby "Blue" Bland

Release Date February 27, 2001
In the days when this was known as blues/r&b and before Ray Charles/Aretha/Willson Pickett came with their succes,Bobby Bland was God and this is THE album to listen if you are interested in his legacy.From what I found out,he was one of those singers who were heartbreakers in his time - ladies fainted when he sang and its funny because he wasn't excatly a heart-throb but than again,think about power of Edith Piaf or Ella Fitzgerald,same thing - people are moved to tears no matter what they looked like.Music here is combination of horn-driven ballads and some strong r&b shakers where Bland roars like lion.He was capable of gentleness one moment and best soul scream the very next and guitars are excellent - not for nothing had he worked with B.B.King and Ike ...

Just Like You

CD-Charts > Music > Electric Blues Guitar
by: Keb' Mo'

Release Date June 18, 1996
Several years ago I went to a Bonnie Raitt concert (had great seats) and the pre-show performer was Keb Mo. I had never heard him or his music, but I had met Bonnie back in the early 70's and was so looking forward to seeing her and listening to her set. When Keb Mo came on stage...a stool and an acustic guitar, I had no idea what I was in for! Unbelievable guitarist and that voice...WOW! I didn't want it to end. I have since purchased most of his CDs and go see every performance I can! He is the best folk type blues musician in today's world. This CD is one of his best, everything from humor to spiritual to just good 'ole "sitting of the front porch" blues. Highly recommend this CD for anyone who enjoys music without all the "technology" that often gets ... Read More:

Jonny rocks the blues as usual. Heard it at a friend's house and had to have it to go w/ my newer Lang cd's.
