This great album features all 17 songs recorded by Jack Dupree for Vik and Groove in 1956 and '57 including eight songs not originally issued plus five alternate takes. Dupree had a long career starting in the late 30s and continuing unbroken up to his death in 1992. These are some of his most energetic performances - in addition to his great vocals and powerhouse piano he is joined by the brilliant Larry Dale on guitar, Al Lucas on bass, Willie Jones or Gene Moore on drums and Pete Brown/ts on a few cuts. The songs are mixture of slow intense blues (Down The Lane/ Story Of My Life/ My Baby's Like A Clock, whismsical semi novelty items (Just Like A Woman/ Woman Trouble Again/ Rocky Mountain) and a lot of hard driving rockers (Old Time Rock 'n Roll/ Shake Baby Shake/ You're Always Crying The Blues/ The Wrong Woman and even a country & western flavored piece Lollipop Baby. On a couple of the cuts he is joined on vocals by the gruff voiced Mr. Bear (Teddy McRae) for some witty repartee. Great music, excellent sound. (Roots & Rhythm)

Detroit Blues Harp Wizards! (1948 Recordings)@320

Tough & raw Detroit harmonica blues by Elder Wilson Jr. (5 songs), Robert Richard (4), Walter Mitchell (3), and one by Joe Von battle. This LP is now out of print and very hard to find.
BONUS 4 OF 6
BIG SANDY & HIS FLY-RITE BOYS - What A Dream It’s Been (2013) @320
http://www72.zippyshare.com/v/92414799/file.html
Big Sandy & His Fly-Rite Boys celebrate their quarter-century anniversary by revisiting their favorite songs from the past, giving them light new arrangements on What a Dream It's Been. Usually, these are stripped down so they rely on acoustic instruments, but that doesn't mean this is a typical "unplugged" release, one that showcases the group's unacknowledged sensitive side. No, Big Sandy & His Fly-Rite Boys still can cook with gas here -- "Missouri Gal" genuinely grooves, "Glad When I'm Gone" skips along like good bluegrass -- and this variety helps keep the record kicking, while underscoring how one of the group's great strengths is their versatility. At their heart, they're country-rockers, but they can play almost any kind of American roots music -- "(You Mean) Too Much to Me" uncannily captures the ghostliness of Elvis Presley's Sun sessions, while "I Know I've Loved You Before" crackles with Tex-Mex -- and this anniversary album may showcase this skill better than any one of their studio albums.
