Buy Now	Leave the Light On (more) »rank: 15358 by: Chris Smither : :This album's title cut finds the veteran folk-blues troubadour, now in his early 60s, pondering the possibility of living to be 100, thus setting the thematic tone for an uncommonly reflective, meditative set. The ragtime Zen of 'Open Up,' the philosophical 'Seems So Real,' and the rock-bottom despair in his cover of Peter Case's 'Cold Trail Blues' all suggest that the virtuosic fingerpicker and evocatively smoky vocalist has reached a point in his life where he's pondering the biggest issues of mortality, a perspective that informs the complex relationship in 'Father's Day.' Not all of the material is that introspective, as the uptempo, ...

Buy Now	Soul Searching (more) »rank: 11037 by: Ronnie Earl & the Broadcasters : :Ronnie Earl s third release for Black Top heralded the official formation of his band The Broadcasters, so named after the first solid body electric guitar, built by Leo Fender back in 1950. And in that band was one-time Rocket Darrell Nulisch and ex-Muddy Waters sideman and harpist extraordinaire Jerry Portnoy among other luminaries, plus a special guest appearance by Ronnie s Roomful of Blues mate Duke Robillard. In short, this was one smokin ensemble, and this is one smokin album, garnished with the bonus tracks 'Love at First Sight' and 'I m Holding On!' From 1988.	Buy Now	Zucchero & Co. (more) »rank: 8182 by: Zucchero : : Adelmo Fornaciari, aka Zuccero (Sugar), was born in 1955 near Reggio, Italy and grew up fascinated by American blues and R&B. Like so many of his countrymen and women, he exhibits a rare knack for fortunate and widely diverse collaborations. He has worked with Randy Jackson, Narada Michael Walden, Eric Clapton, Brian Auger, Luciano Pavarotti, the New Orleans Gospel Choir, Johnnie Johnson, Pat MacDonald of Timbuk 3, Jeff Beck, Stewart Copeland and Sting, among others. Given this background, it is thus not surprising that the present album, an international multi-million seller, is a star-studded affair guided by the motto 'United in diversity, ...
Buy Now	Martin Scorsese Presents The Blues - A Musical Journey (more) »rank: 11994 starring: Carl Lumbly, Tommy Redmond Hicks, Nathaniel Lee Jr., Sonny Boy Williamson, Susan McWilliams : :It may have been underrated when first broadcast on PBS on consecutive nights in the fall of '03, but executive producer Martin Scorsese's homage to the blues is a truly significant, if imperfect, achievement. 'Musical journey' is an apt description, as Scorsese and the six other directors responsible for these seven approximately 90-minute films follow the blues--the foundation of jazz, soul, R&B, and rock & roll--from its African roots to its Mississippi Delta origins, up the river to Memphis and Chicago, then to New York, the United Kingdom, and beyond. Some of the films (like Wim Wenders's The Soul of a Man and ...
