contemporary blues
by Nudebruno＠aol.com 22 Jan '03

22 Jan '03

REF: > Are there any CURRENT artists that are out there that I should check into? After everybody has listed their favorite OLD blues, I'll suggest the North Mississippi Allstars first album, Shake Hands With Shorty. It's an album of covers of tunes by Fred McDowell, RL Burnside, Furry Lewis, Jr. Kimbrough and others. Fully agreed on this one. The North Mississippi Allstars 1st album is a complete winner and as a live act they're scorching. Worth checking out (with certain reservations) for contemporary blues is last years compilation, Balling the Jack (the birth of the Nu Blues) on ocho. Compiled by one, Joe Cushley, its seriously flawed, but should be applauded for its breadth, and offers a taster of artists one could easily overlook. Other albums from last year worth checking are: Hard Grind by Little Axe a big dub blues skewed affair. The Word (John Medeski and lap steel dude from Nth Mississippi Allstars) A rollicking gospel driven thing. Belly of the Sun by Cassandra Wilson may be pitched at the coffee table market, but it remains an elegant reading of modern blues. Why no mention of Son House on the old school front? ta bruno

blind willie johnson -- the complete (2CDs, on CBS) sorry if i overlooked somebody's mention of this. or perhaps it goes without saying, since it would be essential to anyone on this list. this is the sound of primal essence.

I second, third and 4th any recommendation here for Muddy Waters and Hound Dog Taylor. For the former, I'd recommend HIS BEST 1947-1955 as a good intro and DELUXE EDITION as a good intro for the later. Howlin' Wolf is amazing too. The CD that collects HOWLIN' WOLF (aka the Rocking Chair album) and MOANIN' IN THE MOONLIGHT is a classic. Speaking of Wolf, his guitarist Hubert Sumlin is an incredible player. He's having a benefit show this Wednesday at BB King's. Vernon Reid, Marc Ribot are on the bill too so it should be a good show. See <http://bbkingblues.com/schedule/moreinfo.cgi?id=796> for details.

>>You talkin' CDs or LPs?

And, this month, >if I did see it, would have to leave it for now. It was a limited press, but it should still be in and out of DG if you want the cheapeast US source. Going via Brasil is best, as I said above. >is it all that? Well, I can only speak for myself. I love bossa, samba, batucada, tropicália, Brazilian 'Blue Note' jazz, modern Brazilian electro/ fusion... Veloso, Costa, Gil, Gilberto, Zé, Joyce, Mutantes, Sete Ben, Regina etc etc., and the majority of this box is outstanding. I had a chunk of the albums as single discs before I bought it though, so I knew what I was getting. I think it's an essential document of mid-late 60's Brazilian music.

I've had good experiences with them as a customer; the RIYL links are based on a human being listening to the discs instead of counting clickthrus, so you can wind up finding a bunch of stuff you'd have never heard of otherwise (in my case, Elaine BÃŒckholtz comes to mind) -- they carry a lot of great stuff that's below the main zines' (and even the zorn list's) radar. The order and shipping confirmation emails are pretty funny the first time. -- Jim Flannery newgrange(a)talmanassociates.com When you can't give anything, you can also receive nothing.

blues
by John Schuller 21 Jan '03

All of my life I have been wanting some evil electric guitar blues music. I love the old blues from long ago, but want something more harsh and electric. Something that burns (and not in the Stevie Ray Vaughn way!)... Are there any current artists that are out there that I should check into?
