"Rhythm & Booze" 25 Shots Of Vintage R&B (2005)

There's no denying the massive appeal of songs about drinking -- Jimmy Buffett probably wouldn't have a career if not for the subject (which, come to think of it, is a persuasive argument for reinstating prohibition). But anyway -- Rhythm & Booze: 25 Shots of Vintage R&B compiles more than two dozen whiskey-soaked roadhouse classics from the 1950s, culled mostly from EMI-affiliated labels like Imperial and Aladdin. This is R&B at its most raw and raucous, evoking a near-mythical realm of backwoods barrooms populated by bad men and loose women. Not the most original idea for a compilation, but endlessly entertaining nonetheless -- no dive bar's jukebox should be without it. Highlights include J.B. Lenoir's "Give Me One More Shot," Floyd Dixon's "Wine Wine Wine," La Verne Ray's "Drunk, That's All," and Amos Milburn's "Let Me Go Home, Whiskey." (Jason Ankeny, Allmusic)

The Skatalites "Rolling Steady" The 1983 Music Mountain Sessions 2007

In 1983 all of the original Skatalites (minus trombonist Don Drummond) reformed to appear at Sunsplash in Jamaica where they supported Bob Marley. While they were in JA preparing for the show, they recorded ten tracks at Music Mountain studio under the guidance of producer/promoter Tony Owens. This is the first time any of this amazing material has been heard before and Includes tribute song Big Trombone with vocal by Lord Tanamo. With detailed sleevenotes by David Katz, this is an absolute must for Skatalites and reggae followers amongst you - and another excellent release for the Motion imprint. Highly Recommended.Probably one of the most important bands in the reggae history, the Skatalites were there during the heydays of numerous producers, notably Coxsone Dodd and his famous Studio One label. Nearly 20 years after their formation in 1964, the Skatalites were asked by Peter Tosh to come and rehearse with him for his 1983 Jamaica's Sunsplash gig.
David Katz tells us how this album was born :
«While they were preparing for the show, they recorded 11 tracks at the Music Mountain Studio at the prompting of Jackie Mittoo and under the guidance of producer/promoter Tony Owens. After five days of recording, however, the band members fell out, and Jackie Mittoo disappeared with the master tapes, which he later entrusted to Tony Owens.»
Announced as an immanent release for a long time now, this album has unfortunately been dogged by various audio restoration problems before finally being released to our ears. But everything comes to him who waits and 9 out of these 11 tracks recorded are presented here for the first time in their full glory, thanks to the great audio remastering work of Motion records and the sound engineers involved.
As soon as the first songs start playing it is easy to understand the ingredients that went into the success of the Skatalites - festive pieces and unfailing horns. Too many people have forgotten the essence of the birth of the Reggae Style: Dancehalls. We are all struck by an irresistible urge to move when listening to this album. Far away from what some people call "Suffering Reggae", here it's unashamedly Party Time.
As always with the Skatalites, horns are constantly moving the boat forward. Calvin Bubble Cameron, Johnny Dizzy Moore, Roland Alphonso and Tommy McCook are at the top of their form, playing a powerful section spangled with inspired solos while Jackie Mittoo expertly steers things along. No bother look for a flaw in this solid as a rock group, the musicians are perfectly matched and it's obvious why the Skatalites still fill the halls and festivals, just take a look at the videos selected on Roots Archives!
Motion Record's labour of love has brought us an album you shouldn't miss and which will take its place proudly next to the two excellent Skatalites albums previously reissued on the label.trax:

VEE JAY SCREAMING BLUES GUITAR (P-Vine)

The title of this collection, Vee Jay Screaming Blues Guitar, is a little deceptive, since Pee Wee Crayton, Bobby Parker, and L.G. McKinley, the trio of guitarists and singers represented here by sides they recorded for Chicago's Vee Jay Records in the mid- to late '50s, were all more or less cut from the T-Bone Walker mold as players, with styles that were more elegant than screaming, and what's here falls more to the smooth side of jump blues and early R&B than it does to straight blues. That said, there are some delightful tracks here, including two versions of Crayton's "The Telephone Is Ringing," his very impressive "I Found My Peace of Mind" (why this wasn't a huge hit at the time is a pure mystery), Bobby Parker's sad and slightly eerie "Blues Get Off My Shoulder," and McKinley's derivative but still pleasing "I'm So Satisfied." While nothing here rewrites the history of blues or R&B, all three of these artists deserve more attention than they've gotten over the years. (Steve Leggett, Allmusic)

The Skatalites "Lucky Seven" 2002

Includes the complete Duke Reid recordings. All tracks are produced by Duke Reid and apart from two tracks, (Inez & The Clock) fairly common and available on other compilations. However, a good collection for those that my be new to the Skatalites. One or two tracks appear to be alterative takes but no information is given.Here are the complete Duke Reid recordings by this legendary group featuring Tommy McCook, Don Drummond and Roland Alfonso. This group formed as the jumping R&B scene was going out of fashion in the U.S. and followed the Jamaica musical strand that became the Ska sound, dominated by instrumental records. The core personnel consisted of the high powered engine room of drummer Lloyd Knibbs and bassist Lloyd Brevett. Guitarists Jerome "Jah Jerry" Hinds, Harold McKenzie, and Ernest Raglin plus pianists Jackie Mitoo, Gladstone Anderson and Theophilus Beckford built on this foundation and provided the support of the fantastic horn frontline that included Tommy McCook, Rolando Alphonso or Val Bennett on tenor sax, Lester Sterling or Karl Bryan on alto, the great trombonists Don Drummond and Rico Rodriguez and trumpeters Johnny "Dizzy" Moore, Baba Brooks, Raymond Harper and Frankie Anderson.

Eugene McDaniels "Outlaw" 1970

Hi Everyone, as I was looking for a review on this record, I found it a lot and others vinyl rip as well, but for those who don't know yet this great album, here it is... Enjoy that vinyl rip!!! - Magic Kaic's MusicAfter cutting pop soul records under the name Gene McDaniels during the 60s, brother Eugene went back to using his full name, and got very heavily duty righteous on us! This classic album recorded for Atlantic is a mix of rock and soul that features a strong political message that’s probably best embodied in the statment on the back that reads Under conditions of national emergency, like now, there are only two kinds of people — those who work for freedom, and those who do not: the good guys vs the bad guys. The sound of the record is similar to McDaniels’ classic Headless Heroes album (recorded after this one), with jazzy backing, and righteous vocals by the man. - http://newmusicunited.comtrax:

"CURTIS MAYFIELD’S WINDY CITY WONDERS" 26 Northern Soul Classics From The Studio of Curtis Mayfield 1966-1976

Classics and rarities from the Windy City Soul scene that gravitated around the great Curtis Mayfield and his studio! The set features tracks from Curtom, plus the Thomas, Mayfield and Gemigo labels along with Paramount and Polydor – with numbers by The Fascinations, Five Stairsteps & Cubie, The Mayfield Singers, Major Lance, Chuck Ray, Ruby Jones, Notations, Linda Clifford, Gene Chandler and many more! 26 tracks in all: "Girls Are Out To Get You" by The Fascinations, "Don't Start None" by The Mayfield Singers, "You Got The Power" by Mamie P Galore, "I Spy (For The FBI)" by Jamo Thomas & His Party Brothers Orchestra, "Lucky" by The Mayfield Players, "Don't Have To Be Lying Babe" by Gene Chandler, "You Better Run" by Ruby Jones, "Can't Get Enough" by Linda Clifford and more.  © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.2011 collection of tracks from the legendary Curtom Records label. Curtis Mayfield is often referred to as the architect of the Chicago Soul sound and his magic touch is certainly felt at the heart of these recordings. But Curtis is only half of our story, his oft overlooked partner Eddie Thomas completes the picture. It was this partnership that formed Curtom Records in 1968, so called after their pet names for each other - Curt and Tom. The pair had already worked together as writers and producers at ABC-Paramount but when their contract was up they went independent acquiring offices at 8543 Stony Island and a distribution deal with Buddah. Eddie brought with him his eponymous Thomas imprint and Curtis added his earlier short lived Windy C and Mayfield masters. Eddie came up with the company slogan We’re A Winner and indeed they were!

Sunnyland Slim "Slim's Shout" 1993

This is a great CD - you can sit and really listen or you can just play it in the background and it will draw your attention back to it. It's lively music and great songs. Sunnyland's piano shines even when accompanied by an organ! The brass is good and the beat really drives forward. It makes me wish I could've seen them recording these songs.You wouldn't think that transporting one of Chicago's reigning piano patriarchs to Englewood Cliffs, NJ would produce such a fine album, but this 1960 set cooks from beginning to end. Sunnyland Slim's swinging New York rhythm section has no trouble following his bedrock piano, and the estimable King Curtis peels off diamond-hard tenor sax solos in the great Texas tradition that also mesh seamlessly. Slim runs through his standards -- "The Devil Is a Busy Man," "Shake It," "It's You Baby" -- in gorgeous stereo, and two unissued bonus cuts (including another of his best-known tunes, "Everytime I Get to Drinking") make the CD reissue of Slim's Shout even more appealing. --Bill Dahl, AllMusic

THE MAGGOTS "Monkey Time!" 2006

Farfisa organ-fueled, soulful, and explosive, The Maggots are a potent import of Sweden, the garage rock capital of the world. MONKEY TIME is the band's 4th album, but their first U.S. release! Timeless and immediately gratifying, the power nuggets of MONKEY TIME demand repeated listening (and hip shaking). Among the mightiest punk and roll of 2007!This Swedish group have raged through the garage punk scene since their formation in 1999, but for Monkey Time, their fourth album, they've aptly added a fourth member, organist Jens Lagergren, whose Farfisa organ washes their sound in a newfound psychedelia. Although the Maggots wiggled into a niche in the garage scene, their influences are more varied than that, ranging from classic R&B -- check out singer/guitarist Mans P. Mansson's homage to Chuck Berry on the storming covers of "Go Away" and "Tomato Juice," through British Invasion (best examples the Zombies tinged "You Don't Want Me"), and on to British punk, the Cramps, and in the case of "Make Me Fly" a bow to Roy Orbison's "Pretty Woman," while their jubilant anthem "Ain't Nothing But a Maggot" will get everyone in earshot wriggling.
Lagergren's arrival allows the band's psych side to run wild, particularly on the Seed-ish "Now I Have to Go," the down and dirty "Temptation," and the aforementioned "Maggot." Even so, the organist is never going to upstage Mansson, whose blazing solos brilliantly flare up all over this set. Amazingly versatile, the guitarist is lithely capable of subtly switching styles on a dime. On "Go Away" he drags the song through Velvet Underground and Stooges territory, windmills it Chuck Berry style, and still runs straight into the Spencer Davis Group. There again, such feats are only possible because Mansson is supported by one of the best rhythm sections on the scene. If the guitarist is the band's fire, bassist Tomas Holm and drummer Jonas Lundberg are the fuel, with "Want Me" and the swampy R&B styled "The Sideshow" just a couple of their hottest numbers. A rip-roaring album, the excitement never lets up 'til Monkey Time's last note is played, but there's no monkeying around here, for the Maggots are too busy worming their way up to the top of the garage heap. - Review by Jo-Ann Greene

Big Jay McNeely - The Deacon 1953-1955, Unabridged, Vol. 3

Though Big Jay McNeely is one of the lesser-known 1950s R&B saxophonists, his outsized, crowd-pleasing style, which incorporated long, swooping notes and blustering honks set against a raw, swinging backbeat, is still immensely appealing. The second volume of the French Classics R&B label's McNeely retrospective includes cuts like "Nervous Man Nervous," for which a pre-"Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" Platters supplied background vocals, as well as several previously released sides with overdubbed crowd noise added to simulate a live performance. This volume resumes with the rest of Big Jay McNeely's body of work for Ralph Bass' Federal label in 1953/54, including the breathtaking instrumental "3-D" and "Nervous Man Nervous" with ensemble vocal by the pre-breakthrough Platters. This CD follows Mc Recording information: Chicago, IL (06/23/1953-03/15/1955); Cincinnati, OH (06/23/1953-03/15/1955); Los Angeles, CA (06/23/1953-03/15/1955).

Sunnyland Slim "House Rent Party" 1992

The place Lester Davenport and so many others commonly found him was at a "house" Sunnyland Slim ran from 1947 through '54 at 26th St. and S.Prairie. "It wasn't no mansion or nothin' like that but it was comfortable," Davenport recalled of the basement hangout. "We used to go there, sit around and rehearse, drink, gamble, whatever." The "we" Davenport refers to included most of the principals and many of the minor players in Chicago blues: bow-legged Othum Brown, Johnny Jones, Floyd Jones, Otis Spann, Louis and Dave Myers, Little Walter, Big Bill Broonzy, Eddie Boyd, Junior Wells, Earl Hooker. Also included were Jimmy Rogers, Wille Mabon and St. Louis Jimmy, the featured sidemen on these Apollo sides.

Big Jay McNeely - The Deacon 1951-1952, Unabridged, Vol. 2

A collection of all the sides Big Jay McNeely recorded for Imperial Records in 1951 and 1952, along with his first few Federal Records tracks from that year, this anthology, although chronological, is neatly divided into vocal and instrumental pieces. The first half dozen or so selections feature the Three Dots and a Dash vocal group, while the rest of the disc is made up of the muscular tenor and baritone-driven saxophone instrumentals that were McNeely's stock in trade. The lead track, "Insect Ball," is probably the most striking of the vocal sides, while the instrumental highlights include "Deacon Rides Again," the cranked-up "The Goof," "Penthouse Serenade" (which shows that McNeely can play soft and pretty when the piece calls for it), and the proto-rock & roll of "Big Jay Shuffle."

The Maggots "Get Hooked!" 2001

If you are longing for a band that delivers rock music as timeless as it is uplifting, but have never really heard anything that has met your standards, I promise you, The Maggots will finally bring you that big inner smile!On Get Hooked!, the Maggots play 1960s-style retro garage punk without much of a twist, although they do a decent job of it. While the fuzzy guitars and vocal snarls of their songs have obvious antecedents in American garage-psych bands like the Chocolate Watch Band, there is a little punk grunge in the guitar distortion, and a swampy-trashy, ominous feel to much of the material that wouldn't be alien to Cramps fans. Lead singer and guitarist Mans P. Mansson has a high, raspy delivery that isn't so hot and gets on the nerves from time to time. They're best when they slow things down a bit and accentuate throbbing guitar reverb and ominous chord progressions, as on "Now You Say We're Through," which has a chorus that's pretty similar to the one in the Rolling Stones' "Play With Fire." - by Richie Unterbergertrax:

Big Jay McNeely - The Deacon 1948-1950, Unabridged, Vol. 1

It is somehow fitting that a musician responsible for such gutsy, uncompromising music was born and raised in the Watts district of Los Angeles, CA. "Deacon" Big Jay McNeely helped establish rock & roll by hammering out a stream of jump records that were perfect for dancing and carousing purposes. Most of these tunes are grandstand blowouts, tempered with occasional slow and substantial essays in blue like "Deacon's Groove (Cool Blood)." Between the rips and roars it's interesting to examine the personnel involved in all of these dynamite recordings. John Anderson seems to have been McNeely's primary trumpeter, while the trombones were handled by either Earl Hines alumnus John "Streamline" Ewing or the mighty Britt Woodman, a musician greatly admired by Charles Mingus. The combination of Woodman's trombone and Jay's brother Bob McNeely's baritone sax is powerful, creating a vertigo effect during "The Deacon's Hop." Beginning with the Exclusive Records session of February 1949, Leonard "Tight" Hardiman was established as the drummer, with Charles McNiles socking the bongos on "Blow Big Jay" and the relatively laid-back "Tondelayo." Jimmy O'Brien plays exceptionally fine piano behind Clifford Blivens' blues shouting on "Midnight Dreams" and "Junie Flip." He is featured on "K & H Boogie" and adds spice to the mix throughout this exciting collection. Bassist Ted Shirley sings gruffly on "Roadhouse Boogie." McNeely's debut session for Aladdin Records provided him with greater exposure and apparently inspired him to blow hotter than ever, while his brother roared almost demonically behind him on the baritone. "Let's Split" sounds almost identical to the 1950 Johnny Otis hit "Turkey Hop." Its apparent sequel, "Real Crazy Cool," seems downright demented! Generally speaking, this is good time music that won't quit. (Allmusic)

Sonny Boy Williamson II "Bye Bye Sonny" 2006

If legend grows out of mystery, then Rice Miller could be its poster boy, since even his name is an uncertainty (he was most likely born as Alec or Alex Miller), and given that he assumed the name of another harmonica player, thus becoming the second Sonny Boy Williamson, he seemed to approach life like it was a hall of mirrors. What keeps him from being a completely self-invented illusion is that he was a remarkable musician, and the music he recorded is as solid as bedrock, an impressive counterweight to the vague and watery details that pass for his personal biography. Like the first Williamson, he was a harmonica player, but he really sounded nothing like his adopted namesake, favoring a light, soaring, almost horn-like sound on the instrument. He was also a natural songwriter, and his blues-based compositions show a sharp attention to detail unusual in a genre built largely on cliché and a handful of repeated patterns. He was also a larger than life showman, and he knew a good thing when he ran into it, so when he participated in the American Folk & Blues Festival package in Europe in 1963 and saw the enthusiastic reception afforded old American bluesmen there, he decided to stick around for awhile and ended up fronting numerous gigs with various young white British blues bands, each of which he charmed, confused and schooled. As providence would have it, a fair amount of these gigs were caught on tape, including the two sets with the Yardbirds (December 1963 at the Crawdaddy Club in Richmond and February 1964 at the Birmingham Town Hall in Birmingham), and a set with the Animals (December 1963 at the Club A Go-Go in Newcastle) that are collected on the first disc of this two-disc set. Truthfully, these live shows are more historically interesting than anything else, being merely passable bar band blues, even if they feature a fascinatingly charismatic if rather drunken Williamson at the helm. The second disc here consists of a studio session Williamson did with Jimmy Page and Brian Auger in January of 1965, and thanks to the presence of Alan Skidmore and Joe Harriott on tenor and alto saxophone respectively, the whole affair has an edgy and jazzy jump blues feel that allows Williamson to stretch out a bit from the strict blues format. As fate would have it, the Page/Auger session was to be the last chapter in Williamson's recorded legacy, as the harpist died four months later in Helena, Arkansas. All of the tracks on these two discs have been released several times under various titles and on assorted labels, and aside from the experimental freshness of the Page/Auger material, it all amounts to historical ephemera, probably essential only for dedicated collectors. As the last chapter in the murky, mythical and fascinating career of one Rice Miller, though, these recordings are worth their weight in gold. --Steve Leggett, AllMusictrax Disc 1:

The Maggots "This Condition is Incurable" 2001

Explosive garage punk from Sweden!Stockholm's The Maggots explode with energy and a snotty sneer on this premium garage rock revival disc. Their fearsome fuzz and gruesome guitar sound is vital, visceral rock-n-roll. There was a garage wave in Scandinavia in the '80's and Mans P. Mansson (guitar/vocals) was part of that movement as part of Wylde Mammoths (one of the first bands to record for Crypt Records), Crimson Shadows and Friends. Bassist Steffen Hellstrom was also in Wylde Mammoths and Friends and Jonas Lundberg (drums) has a past in Slammer and A-Bombs. These journeyman psychedelic rockers combine their experience and vigor for this more-than-suitable follow-up to their excellent debut LP, Get Hooked (Low Impact Records). Also, available on 10" vinyl, this CD edition includes three bonus tracks taken from the Gonna Make You Pay 7" on Bad Afro. While their originals rock sufficient to carry this disc to dawn and back, they include some righteous covers: a searing "Boy From Nowhere" (DMZ) and the workout for their two guitarists from The Turpentines, "Heading For The Texas Border," also covered by the Flamin' Groovies. - By Tom Schulte

Sonny Boy Williamson "Goin' In Your Direction" 1994

Alligator continues its Trumpet reissue series with an excellent 15-cut anthology covering early Rice Miller (Sonny Williamson II) material, some of it also including guitarist Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup and guitarist Bobo "Slim" Thomas. Miller was honing the uncanny technique that made him a harmonica legend, playing long overtones, spitting lines, droning and angular phrases that are now part of blues lore. His voice was gaining strength and stature, and he repeatedly demonstrated the kind of vocal character and instrumental acumen later immortalized on his Chess sessions. Alligator has found a genuine treasure chest with this series. --Ron WynnSonny Boy Williamson (II)'s early-50s waxings for Trumpet Records are not as well-known as his Chess sides, but they are a very important part of his legacy, and while the fidelity is not stellar, the performances are terrific.
I called this "early" Sonny Boy, and it is in terms of recorded material, but Rice Miller was already in his 50s when these performances were taped, and had played with men like Robert Johnson and Elmore James down in the Delta in the 30s. So his inimitable harmonica style was already in place on these his first recordings, and his characteristic vocals and his way with words were fully developed as well.
One of these songs features Bobo Thomas as the lead vocalist...his "Catfish Blues" was reportedly put on the flipside of Elmore James' lone 1951 single "I Believe I'll Dust My Broom", a recording which also featured Rice Miller on harmonica.
Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup, the man behind "That's All Right Mama", sings on two numbers, and on the 1954 single "From The Bottom" a young B.B. King is credited as the guitar player.
But this is mainly Sonny Boy's show. He lays down tremendous, gritty performances of "Goin' In Your Direction", "I'm Not Beggin' Nobody", and the thumping, syncopated "Gettin' Out Of Town", as well as several others, including "She Brought Life Back To The Dead" and the driving "Empty Bedroom", which give Sonny Boy's best Chess sides a run for their money.
The swinging "Red Hot Kisses" features great piano playing from David Campbell, and pianist Willie Love and guitarist Joe Willie Wilkins are also among the musicians. Love is particularly great on "She's Crazy", contributing mightily to the deep, swaggering groove of the track.
Sonny Boy fans should rush to secure themselves a copy of this excellent collection. Alligator has found a real treasure trove with these wonderful Trumpet sides, and this is in no way second-rate material...this is Sonny Boy Williamson at his best. --Amazon customer reviewtrax:

Tommy Johnson "Complete Recorded Works in Chronological Order, 1928-1929" (1990)

Evidence of the strange genius of Mississippi bluesman Tommy Johnson is limited to 17 recordings from two late-1920s sessions. It is the first of these, for the Victor Company, that produced the recordings upon which Johnson's lofty reputation rests. Sung in a husky falsetto, somewhere between an African field holler and an Alpine yodel, "Cool Drink of Water Blues" stands atop a pinnacle in the richly inventive Delta blues tradition with younger cousin Robert Johnson's "Hellhound on My Trail" and Skip James's "Devil Got My Woman." "Canned Heat Blues" is a bittersweet paean to the older Johnson's penchant for imbibing tins of jellied kerosene, and was a modest hit in that era's "race record" market. Also notable from his 1928 session were the influential "Maggie Campbell Blues," "Big Road Blues," and "Big Fat Mama Blues," while the recently discovered Paramount session was remarkable for "Slidin' Delta" and "I Wonder to Myself." --Alan Greenberg, Amazon.comAn essential Tommy Johnson collection, Document's Complete Recorded Works (1928-1929) features 17 songs from the Delta blues pioneer, including two alternative takes and a pair of previously unissued songs known respectively as "Morning Prayer Blues" and "Boogaloosa Blues." Culled from the great Delta musician's recording sessions in Memphis and Grafton, WI, from February 1928 to December 1929, this collection shines a light on all of Johnson's known output during his most active recording years. As with most music taken straight from original 78s, the sound quality varies between tracks; all in all, the pops and static aren't too distracting here. The music is well-worth seeking out as the writing, guitar playing, and singing are all exceptional. Johnson's voice, one of the distinctive early Delta blues voices along with Son House and Charley Patton, changes from a deep rumble to a woeful falsetto while his guitar playing is characteristic of the early Delta style. With the exception of a few of the tracks from an August 1928 session, other players accompany Johnson on the tracks. Highlights include the well-known material such as "Cool Drink of Water Blues" and "Canned Heat Blues," as well as scratchy lesser-known gems from his later sessions. The tracks "Ridin' Horse" and "Alcohol and Jake Blues" were taken from what is believed to be the only remaining copy of the 78 they were originally released on. These two songs had not been released on CD prior to this collection. On the two versions of "Black Mare Blues" included, Johnson is joined by the New Orleans Nehi Boys, featuring Kid Ernest Marshall on clarinet and Charley Taylor on piano. The CD includes informative notes by Paul Oliver, personnel lineups for each session, along with issue numbers for the original releases. This is highly recommended for those who have never heard Johnson's music and equally recommended for those who have. --Jeff Schwachter, AllMusic (Rating: 5/5 stars)

Woody Guthrie "The Ultimate Collection" 2007

Perhaps the most influential singer-songwriter ever in Folk music, Woody Guthrie's music has inspired generations of musicians and continues to influence to this day with the likes of Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen frequently performing his songs. Featured here on this 'Ultimate Collection' are 50 of his best recordings.Woody Guthrie. The man who founded the tradition of the American protesting folk singer/songwriter which gave us Bob Dylan and Paul Simon. Indeed, Dylan made his name with the `talking blues' style patented by Guthrie. Guthrie's music, it is not too much to say, was one of the greatest influences on 20th century popular music. It was a prime influence on the British Skiffle movement (Lonnie Donegan covered a huge number of Guthrie songs), out of which came the Beatles. It also gave us Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and countless others.
This album collects together 50 (yes, FIFTY!) classic tracks, and demonstrates just why Guthrie is such a major figure in the history of music. All the classics are here, `This Land is Your Land', `John Henry', `Gypsy Davy', `Mule Skinner Blues', `Wreck of the Old 97', `Jack Hammer Blues' and `We Shall Be Free', and that's just disc 1! In all of these Guthrie uses an eye for detail and an outrage at social injustice to craft catchy, yet involving lyrics which have a story to tell. Mixed with a distinctive guitar / harmonica style and compelling rhythmns and hooks in the music, these really are great songs, that almost anyone will find something to enjoy in. Personally, I find Guthrie's work more accessible than some of the other greats o the time, such as Ledbelly, partly due to his singing style - he had excellent diction, meaning that every word could be heard clearly.
This 2 CD set is a steal at the price being asked. The 50 tracks sound good for their age. I don't know if there has been any remastering, I suspect there has as the recordings all sound quite clean. There is a short, disposable, essay about Guthrie and that's about it. My only gripe is that there is no information about the recording dates (or even the years!) for the tracks presented. But hey! At this price that is a minor quibble, it's the music that matters! And you get a lot of excellent music here.
A set well worth getting. Recommended for all fans of Dylan, Early Paul Simon, Early Springsteen, Billy Bragg and the like. --Amazon customer review

"GOSPEL FUNK"

In 1959, a woman by the name of Carmen Murphy attended a Good Friday mass in her home town of Detroit, as she did every year. Ms. Murphy, the proprietor of the city’s first salon for black women, known as House of Beauty, found herself particularly moved by the musical performances that evening. In fact, she was so inspired that she decided to convert the basement of her salon into a rehearsal space for local gospel acts. Later that year, she funded the recording of local gospel star Rev. James Cleveland, and House of Beauty Records was born. Over the years House of Beauty was owned and operated by a number of different parent companies. It was during it’s time at Scepter Records in New York (’64-’76) that the label grew both commercially and creatively. It slowly transformed from a rigidly traditional label, mostly featuring a capella quartets and choirs, to a company with eclectic tastes and broader musical horizons. Throughout the 70s the label became more accepting of secular influence on its music and slowly but surely, some of the recordings became straight up funky.
In the fall of 2008 Secret Stash began working with a local business man who acquired the House of Beauty catalog some years back. Our mission was to sort through his mountain of master tapes, containing over 3,000 tracks, in search of rare, funky and soulful gems for vinyl reissue. After hundreds of hours we settled on a short list of material to press up on wax.
Gospel Funk may sound like an oxymoron to some, however, in the late 60s and throughout the 70s, many Gospel artists began moving their sound in a funkier direction. When you think about it, it’s really not that hard to imagine. Most of us know that soul music is deeply rooted in gospel. Sam Cooke, Aretha Franklin, Al Green, and even James Brown all hail from the world of gospel music. Is it really unimaginable that the gospel community would latch onto the progression of soul music that took place in the secular market?
This collection of Gospel Funk is raw, gritty, and packed full of breaks. The compositions are tastefully simple. The production is organic. And most of all, the music is undeniably funky. (Secret Stash)

The Zombies "Live At The BBC" 2003

2003 restored & remastered reissue of 1985 compilation, featuring 29 tracks recorded during 1964-1968, packaged in a digipak. Includes 12-page full color booklet with photos & other memorabilia.Like a majority of up-and-coming British bands of the 1960s, the Zombies made nearly two dozen BBC Light and Radio 1 transmissions between the fall of 1964 and the spring of 1968. The 29 cuts hail from a variety of those programs. In many cases their alternate persona as a consummate and immensely soulful cover combo is likewise illuminated. The parenthetical "bonus tracks" moniker may be seen as somewhat of a misnomer, since this volume is in essence the fourth ("Live on the BBC") volume of the remarkably thorough and highly recommended Zombie Heaven (1997) four-CD compilation. The contents are presented in a relatively chronological manner, commencing with one of the group's earliest shots (if not the earliest shot) on Saturday Club, broadcast on October 3, 1964. The obligatory plug of their own "She's Not There" and "You Make Me Feel Good," coupled with a fiery take of Bo Diddley's "Road Runner" and Little Richard's "Early One Morning," most reveal the quintet's passion. That becomes a prominent motif throughout, resulting in some of the Zombies' best and most spirited performances during their all too brief history. Other practically compulsory listens include their rendering of "I'm Going Home," Henry Glover's "Soulsville," and an additional Little Richard number, "Rip It Up," which is reworked into a masterful fusion of pop and rock guilded with hints of jazz. Billy Stewart's "Sitting in the Park" and the gorgeous rendering of Bacharach and David's "The Look of Love" are among the other zeniths. The latter boasts what may be Colin Blunstone's finest vocal with this aggregate. The mind boggles that it was not crafted into some kind of official studio release. In terms of originals, there are two inspired takes of "Tell Her No" -- one highlighted by Rod Argent on acoustic piano -- as well as an absolutely riveting and blistering reading of "What More Can I Do" from a late January 1965 Saturday Club session. The "Kenny Everett Show Jingle-Medley " is taken from a pair of appearances by Argent and Chris White from April of 1968. Sadly, this is the only material circa Odessey & Oracle (1968), as they had already broken up by the time the album was issued. Live at the BBC is essential for enthusiasts and the curious. Those not in need of the massive aforementioned Zombie Heaven can easily couple this title with any number of the single or double-disc anthologies to achieve a copious collection of the Zombies' pre-Odessey & Oracle output. --Lindsay Planer, AllMusic

Stellar soul singles on Brunswick – nearly all of which come from the prime mid-to-late 60s period at the legendary Chicago label – with Jackie Wilson, Billy Butler, Barbara Acklin, Gene Chandler, Erma Franklin, Lavern Baker and many more! There's a tight focus here on mid-to-late 60s Brunswick – all of them great – and many are quite rare.

The Zombies "Begin Here" The Complete Decca Mono Recordings 1964-1967 (2010)

The superb 1965 Zombies beat classic is now available remastered in glorious original Mono sound and presented in our popular Digipak format as a 2CD set with bonus tracks on a separate disc.
CD 1 features all the original 14 tracks, just as originally released and raved about back in the 60s Beat Boom era.
CD2 features 22 tracks – all the other Decca Mono recordings – Singles A-sides, B-sides and EPs from the 1964-67 period, including a soundtrack version of a song featured in the Otto Preminger film ‘Bunny Lake Is Missing’. 24 page expanded booklet with authoritative and extensive liner notes by respected author and former Decca archivist John Tracy, plus detailed data on the recordings. Expertly remastered by Jon Astley (who has worked on recordings by the Who, Led Zeppelin, George Harrison and many others). These classic Mono recordings now sound truly brilliant! --repertoirerecords.comOf the literally dozens of memorable bands that emerged from the British Beat scene in the early to mid-'60s, the Zombies were one act that stood out: there was a smart, slightly arty aura to their clever and beautifully crafted melodies, superb vocal harmonies, and a distinct instrumental sound, highlighted by Rod Argent's keyboard work, often using electric piano to memorable effect. Even when the Zombies rocked out or sunk into a tough R&B groove, they could convey a keen intelligence along with their energy, and their more introspective moments gave them a sound and feel that was unique. As good as they were, the Zombies didn't have much luck on the charts -- while "She's Not There" and "Tell Her No" were hits in 1965, most of their subsequent recordings attracted little notice on initial release, and some of the band's finest work was barely heard in its day. Begin Here: The Complete Decca Mono Recordings 1964-1967 confirms how baffling this is in retrospect. It includes the group's 1965 album Begin Here as well as 22 songs that appeared on singles and EPs, and it's disc two, with those non-LP sides, that makes the case for the Zombies' strengths. The album was divided half and half between covers and originals; all but two of the extra tracks are group originals, and Rod Argent and guitarist Chris White were excellent songwriters, crafting top-notch pop and R&B tunes with a clever twist, and if lead singer Colin Blunstone didn't write as much material, the songs that appear here are fine stuff. The group clearly knew how to make their music work in the studio, and the crisp monophonic remastering by Jon Astley gives these recordings plenty of punch without blurring the sonic details. The Complete Decca Mono Recordings 1964-1967 preserves a great group in their heyday, and John Tracy's liner notes and a beautifully designed package make this as much a treat for the eyes as for the ears. Short of picking up the box set Zombie Heaven, you're not going to find a much better presentation of this band's Decca years than this. --Mark Deming, AllMusic.  Score: 4,5/5 stars

RCA Victor "A Northern Soul Legacy" 1966-1978

UK collection of Northern Soul rarities. Recording giant RCA are used to coming first. The world's largest manufacturer of phonographs developed the first 331/3-rpm long play record, the first 45-rpm single, the first stereo recordings, the first stereo 8-track tape and the first quadraphonic recordings. They were also no stranger to hit records having secured the recording contract of Elvis Presley in 1955. However, RCA failed miserably to recognize or understand the R&B/Soul boom of the '60s, even failing to hit with the former million-selling artist Roy Hamilton. Consequently, RCA, is one of the few collectable labels where the official stock copy 45 is rarer than the disc jockey promotional release. This collection gathers 20 rarities together on one disc. Outta Sight.

The Sonics "Psycho-Sonic" 2003

PSYCHO-SONIC is a 29-song retrospective of garage-rock band the Sonics, whose name was inspired by the Boeing aircraft surrounding them in their hometown of Tacoma, Washington. The collection includes the Sonics' first single, "(She's a) Witch" - which reportedly holds the record for the best-selling indie single in the Northwest - plus two live versions of the song.
In an era when the raw sounds of '60s garage-rock heroes the Sonics have been featured in an SUV commercial, it's possible to underestimate the fierceness of their straight-for-the-jugular attack. That is, until you hear the quintessential Sonics compilation, PSYCHO-SONIC. Here are 29 tracks of garage-rock grandeur featuring Tacoma's favorite sons in all their unfettered glory, tearing into a mix of blues, R&B, proto-psychedelia, and frantic rock & roll that's often gotten them labeled as "the first punk rock band."Everyone would agree that the Sonics reached their peak on their 1964-65 recordings for Etiquette. This 29-track compilation has everything they recorded for the label, extended not just to everything from their singles and two albums, but also with an alternate take of "The Witch" and live recordings of "Psycho" and "The Witch." Consequently, it's the best Sonics release on the market, though you should be warned: it's not wall-to-wall greatness. After the first half-dozen or so songs, you might well be ready to buy into their legend as one of the great (and certainly rawest) '60s garage bands, as those tracks include their toughest elementary riff-fueled pounders: "The Witch," "Psycho," "Boss Hoss," "He's Waitin'," and "Strychnine." But too much of the rest is filled out with covers of '50s and '60s rock and R&B standards, and the relentlessly frantic bang-it-out frat punk and throat-tearing vocals get blurry after a while, though at least they threw in a little-covered tune with their version of Adam Faith's "It's Alright." [The 2003 CD edition of this anthology, incidentally, is substantially different from Big Beat's first release of the material, though it has identical tracks and the same title. It's taken from first-generation tapes, and also has a 20-page booklet of liner notes with extensive quotes from several band members (including lead singer Gerry Roslie) and others involved in the group's career.] --Richie Unterberger, AllMusic (Rating: 4,5/5 stars)

The Sonics "This Is... The Savage Young Sonics" (2001)

Long before they delivered the full blown crunch of The Witch and Psycho, the Sonics were cutting their teeth in Tacoma teen clubs! These crude 1961-64 sides were taped live at dances and at home, showing the heavy influence of their primo idols the Wailers and includes the ultra primitive A-Rab, the group's very first recording - raw!! These tapes were recently found in a Tacoma attic. This is their first appearance ever!Before the Kinks and the Who came along and planted the seeds for what is commonly referred to as proto-punk, several obscure and/or one-hit U.S. wonders beat the two aforementioned British acts to the punch -- the Kingsmen, the Trashmen, and the Sonics. While the Kingsmen and the Trashmen managed to score a massive hit each ("Louie, Louie" and "Surfin' Bird," respectively), the Sonics never broke through outside of their home city of Tacoma. Regardless, the Sonics are often name-checked as one of the greatest garage rock bands ever, and the 2001 compilation This Is... The Savage Young Sonics focuses entirely on the group's early years. It turns out that the father of the Sonics' brother guitar/bass tandem, Larry and Andy Parypa, taped nearly every live show the group played during the early '60s, and these recordings serve as the basis for this 20-song release. Although the group was still a ways off from perfecting its tough-and-rough sound (which eventually included a heavy R&B influence), the comp includes such early instrumentals as "Sonic Blues" as well as covers of popular bar band standards of the day -- "Rumble," "Bony Maronie," "Keep A-Knockin'," and even the aforementioned "Louie, Louie." While newcomers should stick with one of their classic mid-'60s releases (e.g., 1965's Here Are the Sonics), longtime Sonics fans looking to trace the group's roots will certainly be able to do so with "This Is... The Savage Young Sonics". [Greg Prato, AllMusic]trax:
