Live on Maxwell Street
(more) »rank: 43730by: Robert Nighthawk
: :Robert Nighthawk's slide guitar was revered by the likes of Muddy Waters and B.B. King. It's easy to hear why on this raw, lively, and relaxed recording of Nighthawk and a few of his cronies, including harmonica ace Carey Bell, playing outdoors at Chicago's famed Maxwell Street Market. It's the kind of setting Nighthawk loved (for more of the music recorded there, also check out the three-CD set And This Is Maxwell Street, featuring Nighthawk and other great artists). Surely, he would have been more famous if he hadn't preferred the wandering minstrel's life, juke joints, and the streets over studios. Nonetheless, Nighthawk, ...

The Hard Stuff
(more) »rank: 91986by: George Thorogood
: :Brushing off criticisms that his albums all sound the same as casually as he peels off Chuck Berry licks from his trusty Gibson, George Thorogood keeps the faith on The Hard Stuff. Coproducer Jim Gaines (Jimmy Thackery, Santana, Luther Allison, Stevie Ray Vaughan), who knows his way around a bluesy riff, returns to add his touch. The combination of rugged production with a relatively varied set makes this a keeper in the bulging Thorogood catalog. The guitarist and his band churn through a rollicking set with as much enthusiasm and fire as someone with half his 56 years. The Stonesy attack of 'Rock ...

The Chess Box
(more) »rank: 9235by: 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 ...
