Singer-guitarist Tarheel Slim and his partner Little Annie were cut from much the same mould as Ike and Tina Turner -- a blazing guitarist and powerful singer, Tarheel Slim was clearly the driving force behind the duo, while Little Ann often rose to the fore in their duets with her piercing, slightly eerie voice. Slim's voice is remarkable as well, and after a while you may wish they'd recorded more solo tunes -- although they both sound great, their duets don't always mesh as well as you'd want. The best tracks on this collection are electrifying, although there is a great deal of variability from track to track. For one thing, they seem to have chased several popular styles -- there's an "Unchained Melody" soundalike, a few Dinah Washington-style ballads - and these attempts to fit the sound a la mode don't always work as well as the spine-tingling blues that was really the pair's forte. But that blues stuff is pretty awesome: if you like sizzling old-school electric blues, you'll want to check this one out! (DJ Joe Sixpack, Slipcue Music Guide)

Dave Alvin & Phil Alvin - Common Ground: Dave Alvin & Phil Alvin Play and Sing the Songs of Big Bill Broonzy '14 @320
http://www3.zippyshare.com/v/39882742/file.html
Blasters founders Dave Alvin and Phil Alvin have had a famously combative relationship over the years, but as Dave once said, "We argue sometimes, but we never argue about Big Bill Broonzy." So it's fitting that their love of Big Bill brings them together in the recording studio for their first album together since the Blasters' Hard Line in 1985. Common Ground: Dave Alvin & Phil Alvin Play & Sing the Songs of Big Bill Broonzy features the Alvin Brothers performing a dozen songs from the Broonzy songbook, and while listening to this is a potent reminder of how good Broonzy's songs still sound in the 21st century, it also demonstrates the complementary talents of Dave and Phil Alvin. Dave is the hot-shot (but musically savvy) guitarist whose fiery leads and switchblade solos give the melodies a spark they wouldn't have with Phil calling all the shots, and Phil has the outsized, passionate vocal style that brings Big Bill's tales to life in a way Dave's more modest instrument can't quite match (though Dave sings as well, and doesn't embarrass himself when he steps up to the mike). Put them together, and in this context you don't get the Blasters, but you do get something that recalls a bit of the wild fun that band knew how to conjure. It's clear the Alvins love this music and know how to mess with it in just the right way, and they don't treat Broonzy's tales of all manner of wild living like museum pieces, but as vital, living bits of American music, and that's how they sound on this album. Common Ground isn't "The Return of the Alvin Brothers" so much as a joyous continuation of the mission they launched when the Blasters first hit the stage in 1979, and if they're a little older and craggier in 2014, they clearly know how to make this stuff rock, and this is a modest triumph for one of roots rock's most fascinating partnerships. (Mark Deming, Allmusic)

Thanks for this, Gyro. A couple of years ago when I first heard 'Number Nine Train' I thought, how come a freckled faced boy from San Diego was force fed Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello when at the same time he could have been listening to Tarheel Slim?
This is great stuff, indeed.

GREG “STACKHOUSE” PREVOST - Mississippi Murderer (2012) @320
http://www8.zippyshare.com/v/92658833/file.html
This is an awesome cd. It doesn't get much better than this folks. Love the jangly guitars & harmonica with attitude. There's a Killer version of "Hey Gyp" By Donovan. Not a ballad in sight to ruin the vibe. It's bluesy, but, its rock & roll in its purest form. You'll love this is you are a fan of the Stones, Yardbirds, etc. Its so refereshing to hear this kind of music in 2013. Buy this and you won't regret it. (Rock World)
The terrific debut solo album from the lead singer of the Chesterfield Kings is an all-blues affair, and a very much welcome one at that. Greg Prevost, of course, has shown an affinity for the blues and blues rock throughout his career, but especially on the limited edition release of the Chesterfield Kings’ Drunk On Muddy Water album in 1990.
Prevost handles all of the vocals, along with the guitars here — something he hasn’t been known for in his prior band — as well as his usual harmonica, maracas and tambourine. He sounds refreshed and fired up on Mississippi Murderer (Mean Disposition Records), with a sense of new-found freedom. (Something Else)

Thank you Gyro :)
Hello! Following up on a request I had made in the comment box for Le Beat Bespoke about 3 weeks ago. A set of CD's you posted almost 3 years back was the Talcum Soul series; can those be re-posted or re-linked(I know that #5 has a dead link, as I've emailed about it previously)?
Thanx again.
