Bring 'Em In

CD-Charts > Music > Modern Blues
by: Buddy Guy

Release Date September 27, 2005
I've listened to quite a few blues players and Buddy Guy is the most energetic and uptempo player I've ever had the pleasure of listening to. This cd ROCKS! Plain and simple. In particular: Cut You Loose, What Kind of Woman, Now You're Gone, Cheaper To Keep Her, and Somebody's Sleeping In My Bed are all above average tracks and will have you playing this album for years to come. A must own for any Blues/Rock fan. Kudos to Buddy Guy for cutting such a rocking album!

Texas Flood

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

Release Date August 08, 2000
I just got this SACD and have a few comments about its sound quality, which is a bit disappointing. First of all, it's a STEREO SACD (as opposed to a multichannel one) and it does not play on a regular CD player as most other SACDs do (as the product info on Amazon rightly points out). And on my surround system the sound of this recording is poor (compared to any other SACD or DVD audio that I own; actually, even compared to most regular CDs I own!). The 2 stars are just for the sound quality, not the actual music!

An Anthology: The Elektra Years

CD-Charts > Music > Modern Blues
by: The Paul Butterfield Blues Band

Release Date January 20, 1998
My grandson who,s 17 is lead guitar in a high school rock combo, and we talked about simultaneous pulsating energy and virtuoso parts for the singer and lead guitar together. I started thinking about 1965-66 in Chicago and recalled the Butterfield band as what I wanted him to hear. So I got him a set and got myself a set. Album #1 in the Electra collection was what I had in mind, and he now listens to it everyday, loving it. He's already pretty good, if you will excuse me.

Man, how that man wasted his life later. Sad.

I am keeping this album. La Raw Maran

70th Birthday Concert

CD-Charts > Music > Modern Blues
by: John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers and Friends, John Mayall & Bluesbreakers

Release Date November 18, 2003
I've listened to this CD a zillion times and I have not got tired of it yet. It is not only one of my favorite John Mayall CDs, it is one of my favorite CDs period. You won't be disappointed with this one. But you might consider getting it as a DVD. Otherwise you won't know that Buddy Whitington always takes the first guitar solo before Mick Taylor or Eric Clapton take theirs.

Talk to Your Daughter

CD-Charts > Music > Modern Blues
by: Robben Ford

Release Date October 25, 1990
This is one of the few guitar recordings that is stellar from front to back. Awesome guitar sound, tone, phrasing . A textbook of blues/jazz licks and phrases. Most important is that all the tunes are great and not just material created so the improvisor can blow . The production has been accused in one review as too slick . Well yes it is polished but lets focus on the content which to me is without a doubt Robbens best recording. This one will stand the test of time to a far greater degree than his subsequent material. Think of how important Blow by Blow is to Beck . Well that is polished or maybe even slick but it is THE Beck recording as Talk to your daughter is THE recording for Robben.

I Love Beach Music, Vol. 1 & 2

CD-Charts > Music > Modern Blues
by: Various Artists

Release Date October 22, 1996
This is one of my favorite CDs.(OK, so I'm getting to the age where I'm sentimental.) I loved Beach Music when I was younger, and that hasn't changed. If you ever heard these songs on the Carolina beaches, you can't pass this up. It's worth every penny. If you recognize some of the songs, but never heard of beach music, you've got some catching up to do; but it's never too late! This one is definitely a keeper.

In Session

CD-Charts > Music > Modern Blues
by: Albert King & Stevie Ray Vaughan

Release Date September 30, 2003
This album, IN SESSION by Albert King and Stevie Ray Vaughan, is a very interesting listen for any serious fans of Stevie Ray, or any fans of the blues.

Because Stevie Ray Vaughan's playing style was greatly influenced by the less famous Albert King, at times it is hard to distinguish exactly who is playing lead guitar, but that just goes to show how great most of the music is on this CD.

The singing is overwhelmingly Albert King, since Stevie only sings lead vocals on the lone Stevie Ray song on this CD, "Pride and Joy," but I really like the singing of Albert King, and this album is a great introduction to Albert King's work, to me, since all the other songs are from Albert King's repertoire.
