Live at Theresa's 1975(more) »rank: 46082by: Junior Wells
:Album Description:Junior Wells started playing regularly at Theresa's in the late 1950s. There were other small blues clubs in Chicago, and Junior occasionally played them, but only at Theresa's did his immense magnetism come across every time he performed. Wells magnetism. For those of us who heard him at Theresa's, Junior Wells remains the greatest blues man. Not the greatest harmonica player - though he was great at that. Not the greatest blues singer - though he was really great at that. Not the greatest songwriter - mostly he sang others' material. But it wasn't really about an instrument, a voice, or a ... |

Jimmy Reed at Carnegie Hall(more) »rank: 38276by: Jimmy Reed
:Album Description: Jimmy Reed was the biggest blues artist of the '50s and early '60s, outselling giants such as Muddy Waters and B.B. King. His stature was so great that Vee-Jay released a double album on him in 1961, a rarity at the time even for rock and pop artists. Though marketed as a live album, At Carnegie Hall was actually a collection of new stereo versions of Reed's biggest hits. As such, it was tremendously influential on a generation of rockers, including Elvis Presley, The Rolling Stones, and Aretha Franklin, all of whom covered songs from this album |

The Essential Sonny Boy Williamson(more) »rank: 59954by: Sonny Boy Williamson II
: :Rice Miller, 'Sonny Boy II', began his association with Chess Records in 1955, when he was already at least 45 years old. His exuberant yet dynamic and intricate playing brought the harmonica from the Delta to Chicago, influencing every harp blower since. He developed his rough and wild, hard-swinging, juke-joint style during extensive travels throughout the South. These 45 potent Chess recordings are more refined and urbanized than his earlier Trumpet work, but still capture the excitement of those early sides. Included are remakes of Trumpet classics such as 'Eyesight to the Blind' (re-titled 'Born Blind') as well as classic gems including 'One ... |

Live at the Golden Bear(more) »rank: 145060by: Junior Wells
: :This reissue of a live recording taken in Huntington Beach, California, and originally released in 1969, showcases harpster and singer Junior Wells's brash, intense Chicago style. The material is familiar--'Fever,' 'My Babe,' 'I'm Ready,' and 'Please, Please, Please,' among others--but it's none the worse for that. Wells puts his own stamp on each performance with his growling voice and rich, aggressive harmonica, especially on 'So Tired (I Could Cry)' and the aforementioned 'My Babe.' Wells and company rock out with 'Don't Start Me Talking' and 'How Many More Years,' and lay back for 'Elevate Me Mama.' Even the CD reissue isn't completely clean; ... |

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 ... |
