CHICAGO HIT FACTORY - The Vee Jay Story 1953-1966 (10 CD BOX SET) @320


This 10-CD set traces the history of Vee-Jay Records from their very first hit, ‘Baby It’s You’ by The Spaniels, through to Jerry Butler’s re-cut of his perennial ‘For Your Precious Love’, their very last chart record in early 1966.  Due to restrictions of playing time it is not possible to include every chart record, nor - for contractual reasons - is it possible to include more than a couple of tracks by The Four Seasons, The Beatles, or other licensed-in UK hits.  Nonetheless, these ten discs present a coherent, enjoyable history of the Vee-Jay family - as well as the ‘parent’ label, there were also the Falcon, Abner, Tollie and Interphon subsidiaries - including a plethora of fascinating releases that didn’t quite make it.
Features a generous 269 tracks, including 112 hits, by more than 120 different artists, and a 72-page, memorabilia-laden, perfect bound booklet comprising a detailed history of the Vee-Jay family of labels and their artists, together with wealth of photos.

DOUG SEEGERS - Going Down to the River (2014) @320

http://www17.zippyshare.com/v/36179222/file.html

Going Down to the River is country singer and songwriter Doug Seegers' debut album. The weathered face quietly smiling off into the distance is no mere pose. His story is as dramatic as it is heartbreaking, almost nearly unbelievable in the 21st century. (His bio tells it in depth.) Seegers was a homeless, addicted street singer in Nashville for nearly two decades before he got his first break thanks to Stacy Downey of the charity the Little Pantry That Could and Swedish country star Jill Johnson, who was in Music City filming a documentary on down-and-out musicians. Cut in three days at Cowboy Jack Clement's Sound Emporium, the album was produced by Will Kimbrough, who also played guitar and led an all-star cast including Barbara Lamb, Al Perkins, and Phil Madeira. Others include Buddy Miller, an old friend during the 1970s (who plays guitar on a cover of Hank Williams' "There'll Be No Teardrops Tonight"), and Emmylou Harris (who reprises her role on Gram Parsons' "She"). All of Seegers' vocals are live scratch takes. As brilliant as the two covers are, they are merely icing on the cake. The ten originals are mostly spectacular, in no small part due to Seegers' deeply expressive voice; its simplicity and raw country soul are delivered in a reedy, utterly musical low tenor. The gentle yet harrowing opener "Angie's Song" offers selfless love and acceptance, because that's what the subject requires. The shadowy folkish country blues in the title track is the other side of Townes Van Zandt's detached resignation. In Seegers' desperation, he'll commit to whatever it takes for redemption from the soul-eating darkness. The swaggering honky tonk in "Hard Working Man" could have been recorded in the early '60s, but Seegers isn't "retro"; traditional country music is all he knows. In the barroom tearjerker "Pour Me," the protagonist's misery comes from seeing his lover walk in with another -- you can feel his need for liquid reinforcement in your bones. The whining pedal steel, shuffling drums, and fiddle in "Gotta Catch That Train" underscore a voice that is hell-bent on freedom. Kimbrough wisely adds saxophones on "Burning a Hole in My Pocket" (Angie is the tragic muse in this song, too) and the closer, "Baby Lost Her Way Home Again," both of which are swinging, vintage R&B-tinged honky tonk blues, no less poignant for their good-time music. Going Down to the River displays Seegers as not just the real deal, but an artist who has earned every minute of this record with years of his life. He doesn't just write and sing traditional country music, he embodies the thing itself. (Thom Jurek, Allmusic)

J.B. HUTTO & THE NEW HAWKS - Hip Shakin’ Music @320

http://www56.zippyshare.com/v/50337721/file.html

No doubt J.B. Hutto is one of the biggest names of 60s-70s Chicago Blues scene and he is among top persons when mentioning slide guitar Blues.

Disciple of great Elmore James and contemporary of another slide guitar great, Hound Dog Taylor, J.B. Hutto left the music industry in late 1950s and worked as a janitor to the shame of music officials but came back inevitably to say his own word in music which was sometimes described as “near-perfect”.

This album, Hip Shakin' Music, goes to the period of second incarnation of his band, when he went to Boston and formed The New Hawks with whom he recorded several studio albums and toured extensively. This one is from that row. J.B.'s guitar somersault during live recordings is widely known but what he does on this recording in UK surpasses expectations of most devoted fans. Elmore James' "The Sky Is Crying", Preston Foster's "Got My Mojo Working" and even Carl Perkins' "Blue Suede Shoes" show J.B.'s extremely skillful playing full of positive emotion. It is the highest class performance which Blues fan is more or less acquainted with but then starts closing tune, "Blues Got Soul!", more than seventeen minutes of guitar madness, killer doze of incomparable, inimitable, untiring playing during which Mr. Hutto spends every piece of his emotional resource to deliver best of what Blues can deliver.

Amazing demonstration of  stability at the peak. Five stars out of five! 9past Blues)

Recorded Live at Jonathan Swift's Harvard Square, Cambridge.

Personnel: J.B. Hutto - guitar, vocals; Kenny Krumbholz - bass; Leroy "Lefty" Pina - drums.

Track List

01. Summertime
02. Hide And Seek
03. The Sixteen Year Old Boy

Johnny Kinkdom sez: Love the J.B. Hutto posts, very underrated artist. Used to play the suburban bar circuit around Chicago in the late 60's/early 70's. Band mates and I used to hit the southside clubs after our gigs (until we got robbed one too many times and lost most of our gear). Hutto was one of our favorites, along with the Guy brothers and Junior Wells. Great, great performer.
