Buy Now	Audiobiography (more) »rank: 11884 by: Bobbie Nelson : :For over 35 years, Bobbie Nelson--sister of Willie--has sat at the piano in her brother's concerts, the modest female counterpart to the hairy-legged, craggy-faced men who cart the Texas honky-tonk sound across America. Her playing melds into the ensemble that makes up Willie's rough-hewn style, even as it also stands out in its assertiveness. At 76, the elder Nelson is just now releasing her first solo album, one that employs far more subtlety than she's able to demonstrate in the Family Band. And she's packed plenty of other surprises under the lid, rendering her brother's standard, 'Crazy,' as a cocktail-hour homage, for example, ...	Buy Now	Homeland (more) »rank: 136077 by: Henry Butler : :Crescent City keyboard virtuoso Henry Butler has electrified and energized his recent recordings, mixing large portions of funk into the proceedings. The sound is a far cry from the sublime acoustic simplicity of his classic Blues After Sunset, but it has its own attractions, and producer Dave Pirner, a fellow New Orleans resident best known as the frontman for Soul Asylum, exhibits them well. Tunes like the acidic 'Casino,' a hard-edged, guitar-punctuated protest of the tourist focus that is slowly strangling NOLA's music scene, serves to illustrate Butler's musical abilities outside his signature syncopated piano artistry. Veteran guitarist Vasti Jackson, who has worked ...

Anyone who doesn't understand why he's called the Genius should hear this. --Rickey Wright
Buy Now	Duke Elegant (more) »rank: 15047 by: Dr. John : :Mac 'Dr. John' Rebennack playing songs from the canon of Duke Ellington is as natural as the break of day. But the gris-gris king interprets Ellington in a way unlike anyone else. 'Mood Indigo,' arranged for Dr. John's six-man New Orleans group, takes on a fresh, heartfelt immediacy with the good doctor's vocals and piano locked into a relaxed groove. He sings another slice of essential Ellingtonia, 'Do Nothing 'til You Hear from Me,' with a lighthearted nonchalance that epitomizes the worthiest New Orleans performers. Dr. John packages snippets of his keyboard playing as panaceas for the soul on a funked-up interpretation of ...	Buy Now	Anutha Zone (more) »rank: 66127 by: Dr. John : :For those of us who long for the days when Dr. John smeared himself with face paint, wore impossibly large headdresses, and sang about gris-gris, gumbo ya-ya, and croker courtbullion, Anutha Zone is indeed a heartening development. For too long Dr. John has paid the bills as a genteel purveyor of tasteful blues and Tin Pan Alley standards, and while it's helped him sustain a career and win Grammies, it's probably used up about an eighth of his true potential as an artist and musician. In the late '60s Dr. John was a visionary musical alchemist, working with psychedelic imagery and funky rhythms ...

Buy Now	The Chess Box (more) »rank: 8488 by: Willie Dixon : :Best known for his work as a songwriter, producer, and talent scout, singer-bassist Willie Dixon essentially built Chicago's Cobra and Chess labels with his sweat. Although this double-disc set does include five performances by the man from Vicksburg, Mississippi, himself, it's really a testament to his songwriting prowess, packed with recordings that made his tunes classics of blues and early rock & roll. There's Howlin' Wolf tearing through 'Spoonful,' 'Little Red Rooster,' 'Evil,' and 'Back Door Man.' There's Muddy Waters belting 'You Shook Me,' 'Hoochie Coochie Man,' and 'I'm Ready.' There's Bo Diddley delivering 'You Can't Judge a Book by Its Cover' and ...
