Piedmont blues may not be as well known among casual listeners as the more aggressive Memphis, Texas, or Chicago styles, but with its syncopated fingerpicking and sly, deceptively tossed-off vocals, it's one of the most unique and entertaining blues styles. The sixth volume of Prestige's Bluesville Years series, which documents the best of that short-lived '60s subsidiary label, hits all the high points of the Piedmont blues style, focusing on its best-known practitioners, Pink Anderson (eight tracks, including the definitive "Baby Please Don't Go") and Baby Tate (seven tracks, featuring his signature song, the sassy "See What You Done Done"). Anderson in particular is well-served by his selection, which includes four songs from 1962's excellent Medicine Show Man, Vol. 1, which has not been reissued on CD in its entirety. (All of Tate's songs are available on the highly recommended Blues of Baby Tate: See What You Done Done.) Other highlights include two fine instrumentals from the Reverend Gary Davis, three tracks by the largely unknown Larry Johnson and Hank Adins, and two each from Sonny Terry and his erstwhile partner Brownie McGhee, including a rollicking version of "Ida Mae" by Terry that makes plain the connections between Piedmont blues and the bluegrass sound that was invented in the same area around the same time. (Stewart Mason, Allmusic)

THE FLYING BURRITO BROTHERS - Authorized Bootleg / Fillmore East, NY - Late Show, Nov. 7, 1970 (2011) @320
http://www62.zippyshare.com/v/17732683/file.html
The Fillmore East show captured on this Authorized Bootleg occurred on November 7, 1970, not long after Gram Parsons and Chris Ethridge left the Flying Burrito Brothers and were replaced by Rick Roberts and Bernie Leadon. Head Burrito Brother Chris Hillman rounded out this lineup with Byrds drummer Michael Clarke and legendary steel guitarist Sneaky Pete Kleinow, all of which means that while this lineup lacked the star power of Parsons, it nevertheless packs considerable musical punch, the band sounding assured, in no way suggesting it's a group whose lineup is in flux. Apart from a few covers -- the storming closer “Six Days on the Road,” the instrumental “Dixie Breakdown,” and a nicely grooving “Willie and the Hand Jive” -- and the Roberts original “Feel Good Music,” the set list is culled entirely from the first two Burrito albums, slightly emphasizing faster material that suits a band whose playing is as propulsive as a motorcycle. And that’s the truly distinctive thing about this performance: its sheer velocity. The Burrito Brothers play like they have something to prove, hitting the chords harder on the rockers and never mellowing on the ballads. For those who love the 1972 live LP Last of the Red Hot Burritos, this is arguably a bit better; for anybody who tends to write off the post-Parsons Burritos, it’s a revelation. (Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Allmusic)
This November 7, 1970 show backs up claims that this was the best Burritos live band ever, even though Gram Parsons had just left the group. You'll hear Chris Hillman, original Byrds drummer Michael Clarke, ace steel player Sneaky Pete Kleinow and future Eagle Bernie Leadon on Lazy Days; Hot Burrito #2; Wild Horses; My Uncle; Cody, Cody; I Am a Pilgrim; Six Days on the Road , and more!
