Born Under a Bad Sign

CD-Charts > Music > Electric Blues Guitar
by: Albert King

Release Date June 18, 2002
This album and Earl Hooker's "The Moon Is Rising" are two of the greatest electric Blues albums of all-time. There is not a bad song on this disc. Albert King also displays great versatility; "Born Under A Bad Sign" sounds nothing like "The Very Thought Of You", perhaps an odd song choice for Albert, but very well-handled. This is one of the albums that the late Stevie Ray Vaughan most admired. He was heavily influenced by Albert's playing on this record, as were scores of other Blues guitarists and Blues-Rock performers.

The Definitive Collection

CD-Charts > Music > Electric Blues Guitar
by: Howlin' Wolf

Release Date April 17, 2007
This album simply cannot be beat. You get some of the greatest songs from one of the all-time great post-war bluesmen, Chester Burnett, a.k.a. Howlin' Wolf. If BB King is a fine wine, Howlin' Wolf is a shot of strong scotch. The CD starts out with Moaning at Midnight, a song which will send chills up your spine the first time you hear it....if anyone can be said to have an inimitable voice, it can be said of Chester Burnett.

Personally, I was not sure I would like Howlin' Wolf as I was just getting into the genre of the blues, and so purchased this album instead of his 3 CD box set. Later, I also added His Best, Volume 2, to my collection. In any case, this album (or the box set), is a must have for anyone who loves the blues. Though it ... Read More:

Keep It Simple

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

Release Date February 10, 2004
Every song tells a story...and every instrument comes through beautifully in each song! Such clarity..the voices! This is now my mellow out CD. It encourages me (and will encourage you too) makes you smile and will humble you. Keep It Simple is a wonderful addition to any collector who likes down home classic blues music or just introduced to it like me! I must ask: KEB'MO PLEASE DO A INSTRUMENTAL VERSION OF THIS CD..I would love to have it in my collection too!
Thanks. A new fan...T.

West Side Soul

CD-Charts > Music > Electric Blues Guitar
by: Magic Sam

Release Date June 10, 1993
It was the summer of 1994, the first time i heard this record from a friend of mine (bless the man). you remember the kind of thrill that you experience when you see/ hear something so profound that it electrifies your whole system, i had tears in my eyes out of pure happiness when i heard the songs.

This is unarguably the greatest blues album ever made, its a tragedy that Sam Maghett had to pass away at the young age of 32. This album will blow you away into pieces, each and every song is pure gold.

Just read the emotion and passion of the other reviewers, barring one retard who feels this album is "dated" (must be a winehouse fan) , every other reviewer here is right on the money.

This album is a keeper and will define ... Read More:

What is the definition of "DANGER ZONE"?
The answer is,when a young singer attempts to cover a song that has been done by the astounding Ellen Macgillwaine.
Wow!
Susan Tedeschi survives!

Solos, Sessions & Encores

CD-Charts > Music > Electric Blues Guitar
by: Stevie Ray Vaughan

Release Date November 06, 2007
I don't understand all the negative reviews. The album title and description say it all. The sound is good, the performances are good. Six of the songs are previously unreleased, half of the others I had never heard before. I compare this to the Duane Allman anthologies, you hear him as a backing musician on some tunes. Hearing Albert Collins and Bonnie Rait on songs with Stevie sure sounds good to me. Buy it and enjoy.

Damn Right, I've Got the Blues: Expanded Edition

CD-Charts > Music > Electric Blues Guitar
by: Buddy Guy

Release Date March 08, 2005
I love this CD. They don't even need to list the guest artists. Make no mistake, this is buddy's CD. From the first second of the first song you realize this is something special. I have never heard better vocals from Buddy, so powerful, so deep. He truely captures the blues and then he blows it away. The guitar work is amazing, I'm a SRV fanatic, and this is as close to the raw power and intensity of any SRV recording.

Live Johnny Winter And

CD-Charts > Music > Electric Blues Guitar
by: Johnny Winter

Release Date February 01, 2008
This is a true texas blues icon coming into his form live and loose. It is a must have. Although not the greatest sound quality - it was only 35 years ago or so... It is still better than a lot of stuff put out today if you can believe it. And the songs are all covers except mean town blues, but still anything Johnny Winter has ever done is great. Compare it with todays music. Could anyone ever come out and release a live album of with 6 covers and become a legend from it? I do not think so. BUT, if you have the talent and the guitar licks that make you stand out, yes, the cream does usually rise to the top. The "And" is all about a dude named RICK DERRINGER playing 2nd guitar in the band. Yes, nice right hand man to have on your side... Jumpin' Jack Flash is a classic ... Read More:
