Walking the Blues is arguably the finest record Otis Spann ever cut, boasting 11 cuts of astounding blues piano. On several numbers, Spann is supported by guitarist Robert Jr. Lockwood and their interaction is sympathetic, warm, and utterly inviting. Spann relies on originals here, from "Half Ain't Been Told" to "Walking the Blues," but he also throws in a few standards ("Goin' Down Slow," "My Home Is in the Delta") that help draw a fuller portrait of his musicianship. Most importantly, however, is the fact that Walking the Blues simply sounds great -- it's some of the finest blues piano you'll ever hear. (Thom Owens, Allmusic)

VA - Bo Diddley Is a Songwriter
Unlike previous entries in Ace’s songwriter series, Bo Diddley wasn’t a behind-the-scenes songsmith crafting songs for other artist. Sure, he penned “Love Is Strange” which wound up in the hands of Mickey & Sylvia, but he was a self-contained powerhouse writing and recording songs on his own, some of them inching up the charts but most of them becoming word of mouth standards over the years. Bo Diddley Is a Songwriter collects aftershocks of those singles, rounding up covers of Bo songs ranging from Buddy Holly’s 1956 take on “Bo Diddley” to a little-known 2007 L.A. roots rocker cover of “Dearest Darling.” Most of the 24 songs here aren’t grouped around those extremes, they come from garage rockers and British Invasion bands from the mid-‘60s, along with a clutch of proto-punkers from ‘70s and ‘80s roots rockers, and while a few are obscure, most of this is pretty familiar, such as the New York Dolls’ “Pills,” Ronnie Hawkins’ “Who Do You Love,” Captain Beefheart’s “Diddy Wah Diddy,” the Animals’ “The Story of Bo Diddley,” and the Shadows of Knight’s “Oh Yeah.” In this case, familiarity doesn’t breed contempt; it accentuates the depth of Diddley’s range and influence, while the non-chronological sequencing hammers home that Bo remains a kind of rock & roll fountain of youth that rockers all of generations tap into when they need a dose of wild, wooly inspiration. -Allmusic

HIP LINKCHAIN - Airbusters ’88 (Reissue 1993) @320
http://www16.zippyshare.com/v/67196338/file.html
Hip Linkchain was a solid, no-frills bluesman and this album (his last before his death in 1989) showcases him at his best. Loads of great original material, with the added bonus of top-notch playing from Chicago's finest blues players. Standout tracks include "Blow Wind Blow," "I'll Overcome," and "Take Out Your False Teeth." (Cub Koda, Allmusic)
Hip Linkchain was a Chicago blues singer and guitarist who, like so many of his contemporaries, never achieved much fame in music. This CD, first released by Black Magic records in the late 80's, is his best. It was cut at two seperate sessions with a different band at each, and on each set everything clicks perfectly. Hip was in solid form throughout, his lowdown singing and tough guitar are both great on every cut, and the majority of the song's were written by him, not just covers of the same old standards. The CD also features a live cut at the end, a version of the old chestnut "Diggin' my Potatoes".
Hip Linkchain never received much recognition for his talents, and since he died in 1989 it will be hard to shine a light on his career. There are a few other of his CD's availiable but this is definitely the first one to get. (Sam Mosley, Living Blues)

DEL REEVES - His Greatest Hits (Razor & Tie Label) @320
http://www16.zippyshare.com/v/38992187/file.html
Although brief (under 30 minutes), His Greatest Hits has been the only readily available collection of Del Reeves' '60s and '70s hits for United Artists, including his best-known song "Girl on the Billboard." Ten of the 11songs on this collection made the country Top 20, and the remaining two charted in the lower reaches. More material would have been nice, but His Greatest Hits offers the essential tracks and is an otherwise fine anthology. (Greg Adams, Allmusic)
1. Girl On The Billboard
2. The Belles Of Southern Bell
3. Women Do Funny Things To Me
4. A Dime At A Time
5. Looking At The World Through A Windshield
6. Good Time Charlie's
7. Be Glad
8. There Wouldn't Be A Lonely Heart In Town
9. A Lover's Question
10. The Philadelphia Fillies
