He has been very prolific, but one of his hardest to find albums is Legend Of The Blues, Vol. 1, originally issued on the Jubilee label in 1967. We finally bring this hard to find collector's item to the CD world, taken from the master tapes.
Buy Now	Classic Railroad Songs, Vol. 3: Night Train (more) »rank: 159586 by: Various Artists : :This third volume in Rounder Records' ongoing classic-train-song series focuses on the R&B end of the rails. Its scope is perhaps a little too ambitious, since the selections here span nearly 70 years. Amid some pretty timeless competition, 1990s entries from the Holmes Brothers and Linda Tillery sound even more flatly digital (and surprisingly inanimate, given the subject matter) than they might otherwise. But classics like Louis Jordan's 'Choo Choo Ch' Boogie' and Little Junior Parker's original recording of 'Mystery Train'--which predates Elvis Presley's earth-shattering cover by a full year--give this volume a propulsive swagger that previous bluegrass- and country-centric volumes in the ...

Buy Now	Running, Jumping, Standing Still (more) »rank: 123135 by: "Spider" John Koerner & Willie Murphy : :Spider John Koerner made his name in the '60s by picking out acoustic urban blues with the Minneapolis trio of Koerner, Ray, & Glover. He romps a little harder than usual on Running, Jumping, Standing Still, obviously grooving on the extra energy of pianist Willie Murphy. Koerner's folk roots get liberally sprinkled with ragtime, rock & roll, and barrelhouse boogie-woogie courtesy of Murphy's magic fingers. Murphy also sings lead on two tracks, including the long, jazzy piano workout 'Old Brown Dog.' Koerner and his booming guitar shine on the strutting 'Red Palace,' the low-key 'I Ain't Blue,' and the title track. -- Michael ...

Buy Now	Live and Uppity (more) »rank: 27842 by: Saffire -- The Uppity Blues Women : :Recorded at Wolf Trap in Virginia, Live & Uppity is just what it sounds like: a live performance by the sassiest, most attitudinal blueswomen in the business--and that's saying something. The opening song, 'Cold Pizza and Warm Beer,' a halfway-rueful morning-after song, sets the tone for the album; it's going to be a party, with no regrets. And the women of Saffire are funny, too. 'You'll Never Get Me out of Your Mind' is introduced as 'a song that I wrote back when I was getting rid of my second husband.' Songs like 'You Can Have My Husband' (a nod to Koko Taylor), ...
