Hillbilly & Rockabilly from Tennessee. 33 tracks, 8 page booklet with interesting liner notes from Dave Penny. "It started with the Chattanooga Shoe Shine Boy..." according to The Sons Of The Pioneers, and there is no doubt that the exciting Hillbilly Boogie style of the late 1940s and early 1950's had a huge influence on the rockabilly artists who would later record for iconic Memphis labels like Sun and Meteor. With the overnight success of Elvis in 1954, all over Tennessee (and just over the border in Mississippi) small labels sprang up to accommodate the steady stream of talented young hillbilly boppers that walked through the door with an eye on a chance at the big time.

Night Train to Nashville: Music City Rhythm & Blues 1945-1970
Issued to coincide with the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum's historic exhibit of the same name, this two-CD set is a treasure-trove of hits, misses, rarities, and smoking grooves. Certainly Nash Vegas is the capital of country music, but in its day it also boasted a wealth of stomping rhythm and blues music that flourished in the city for the better part of three decades, until the bulldozers of "urban renewal" destroyed much of its cultural base and forced it from its terrain. With 35 tracks, plus a pair of bonus tracks that are commercials, this set is an affordable, indispensable introduction to a nearly forgotten part of American musical history. The labels represented here are a cross-section of the great regional independents that were so numerous n the '40s, '50s and '60s. Imprints such as Do-Ra-Mi, who recorded Audrey Bryant, Excello, Champion, Sun, Hickory, Bullet, Dial, A-Bet, Elf, and Sound Stage recorded both luminaries and nobodies. Here are early sides by Hank Crawford when he was in a jump band, the wild and wooly Esquerita, Joe Tex, Arthur Alexander, Roscoe Shelton, Joe Simon, Etta James, Johnny Adams, and Christine Kittrell. And there are cuts by cats like Johnny Jones, Nashville's premier blues guitar slinger, Audrey Bryant, the city's Sarah Vaughan, and others who scored big on Nashville radio and jukeboxes, such as Peggy Scott and Jo Jo Benson, Clifford Curry, and Robert Knight. While some of these names might not mean much to causal listeners of old rhythm and blues and soul, connoisseurs will be delighted to find these sides, many of them on CD for the first time. However, the appeal of this collection should not be limited to aficionados, as virtually every track is crackling with energy, verve, and raw immediate soul. Sound is better than decent, the selection is impeccable, and the track notes by Michael Gray are top-notch. -Allmusic

JERRY WILLIAMS - Jerry Williams ’72 @320
Blues-rock singer/songwriter Jerry Lynn Williams was born in Dallas, TX, in 1948. Raised in nearby Fort Worth, he learned to play piano from his church pastor's wife and at 11 acquired his first guitar. Williams quit school at 14 to tour the roadhouse circuit with his band the Epics, briefly joining Little Richard and playing alongside lead guitarist Jimmy James, later known as Jimi Hendrix. When authorities learned Williams was still in his mid-teens, they sent him back to Fort Worth, where he briefly backed his idol Jimmy Reed. He eventually migrated to Los Angeles, signing to CBS Records and teaming with producer David Briggs to cut his self-titled debut LP.
When the album earned little notice, Williams signed to Warner Bros. to release a 1975 follow-up, Gone. Again there was little attention from retail or radio, but when Delbert McClinton scored his first Top 40 hit with his cover of the album's "Givin' It Up for Your Love," Williams became a sought-after songwriter. Three of his compositions, including the hit "Forever Man," appeared on Eric Clapton's 1984 comeback effort Behind the Sun. Five years later, their collaboration resumed for the smash Journeyman, featuring the Williams-penned hits "Pretending" and "Running on Faith."
He also contributed songs to Bonnie Raitt's Grammy-winning Nick of Time as well as B.B. King's 1992 album King of the Blues, and collaborated with brothers Stevie Ray and Jimmie Vaughan on "Tick Tock," a song later played at the former's funeral. In 1996 Williams self-released The Peacemaker, his first solo effort in over two decades. He relocated to the island of St. Martin in 2003, and died there of kidney and liver failure on November 25, 2005.

This is Jerry Lynn Williams third album, counting the first two High Mountain albums "Hoedown" and "Canyon" as his first two. Released in 1972 on David Briggs Spindizzy imprint for Columbia Records, this like seemingly all of his albums disappeared in a blaze of no publicity. Which is a shame, because it showcases a great soulful singer and guitar player, as well as a songwriter who would write hits for Eric Clapton, Bonnie Raitt and Delbert McClinton, among many others, later in life. Jerry passed away in 2005, having made only a handful of records in a 40 year career, but each album is like a black pearl, hard to find and very desirable. Jerry Williams covers "A Whiter Shade Of Pale" on this album and instead of the embarrassment that every other cover attempt I have heard became, he makes it his own. I was ecstatic to find this album available on CD and bought it immediately. Hopefully, there are more to come as Asia and Europe continue to demonstrate a greater appreciation for our musical history then we in the States do. (Lou Presley)

SUNNYLAND SLIM - Classics: The Chronological 1947-1948 @320
This installment in the Classics complete Sunnyland Slim chronology opens with two sides he cut in 1947 for the Aristocrat label in the company of guitarist Muddy Waters and bassist Ernest "Big" Crawford. Sunnyland expresses his own brand of murderous intent on "Johnson Machine Gun," threatening to arm himself and become "a walking cyclone" from Saginaw to highway 94. (Interested parties should consult a map of Michigan in order to fully appreciate the geographical span of his descriptive rage.) Two sessions from December 1947 resulted in eight recordings that were issued on the Victor label. Something interesting happened here. With the amazing Blind John Davis in command of the piano, Sunnyland was able to concentrate on singing with all his heart, punctuating the verses with loud whoops and hollers. Add guitarist Big Bill Broonzy, bassist Ransom Knowling, and drummer Judge Riley, and you've got one formidable Chicago blues quartet backing up a vocalist who holds nothing back. During the year 1948 Sunnyland Slim recorded for a lot of small labels. His Hy-Tone recordings appeared under the heading of Sunnyland Slim & His Sunny Boys. Four of these (Hy-Tone 32 and 34) feature the leader's high gritty voice and fine piano with Lonnie Johnson's amplified guitar and an excellent string bassist named Andrew Harris. On two titles issued as Hy-Tone 37, Sunnyland's band is completely unidentified. This is a shame, as the nameless tenor saxophonist contributes his share of expressive solos. Two more sides for Aristocrat feature a burning alto saxophonist named Alex Atkins, a heavy-handed plucked bass solo by "Big" Crawford, and the unmistakable electrified guitar of Muddy Waters. Two titles released on the Opera record label as by "Delta Joe" are duets between Sunnyland Slim and electric guitarist Leroy Foster. Although a title like "Roll, Tumble and Flop" might at first imply jump music, this tune and its flip side fall back on the traditional slow drag blues lament. The four tracks closing out this compilation were recorded for the Tempo-Tone label with Little Walter blowing the harmonica, both Floyd Jones and Muddy Waters playing guitars, and Leroy Foster knocking the drums. With both Little Walter and Floyd Jones singing up a storm, Sunnyland Slim was able to focus his energies on the task of playing enough piano to round off one of the toughest of the postwar Chicago blues bands.

RICHIE HAVENS - Mixed Bag '67 @320
Richie Havens' finest recording, Mixed Bag captures the essence of his music and presents it in an attractive package that has held up well. A close listen to lyrics like "I Can't Make It Anymore" and "Morning, Morning" reveals sadness and loneliness, yet the music is so appealingly positive that a listener actually comes away feeling uplifted. In fact, on most of the songs on this album, it's the sound of Havens' distinctive voice coupled with his unusual open-E guitar tuning, rather than the specific lyrical content of the songs, that pulls the listener in. The six-and-a-half minute "Follow" is structured like a Dylan composition in the "Hard Rain" mode, with its memorable verse-ending refrain, "Don't mind me 'cause I ain't nothin' but a dream." Both "Sandy" and "San Francisco Bay Blues" have a jazzy feel, while the aforementioned "I Can't Make It Anymore" would not have been out of place in a movie soundtrack or pop radio playlist of the time. "Handsome Johnny," one of Havens' best known songs as a result of the Woodstock film, is a classic anti-war ballad, stoked by the singer's unmistakable thumb-chorded guitar strumming. Mixed Bag winds up with a soulful cover of Dylan's "Just Like a Woman" and an electric piano-propelled take on the Lennon-McCartney classic, "Eleanor Rigby."
