Started by legendary promoter George Goldner in 1957, End Records was ground zero for the girl group sound-thanks to The Bobbettes and The Chantels - and loomed very large in the doo wop world by playing host to the likes of The Flamingos, Little Anthony & the Imperials, The Starlighters, The Dubs, Lewis Lymon & the Teenchords and more. And then there's some early Miracles tracks that End distributed, after Goldner made a deal with Berry Gordy, as well as recordings from Little Richard after he rediscovered the Lord and denounced rock 'n' roll. Sure, the seminal cuts are here - I Only Have Eyes For You, Tears on My PillowGot a Job, Teach Me Tonight, Maybe - but they don't tell the whole story; just listen to The Harmony Grits' Gee, The Toledos' This is the Night, The Dreamlovers' If I Should Lose You, Little Anthony's Shimmy Shimmy Ko-Ko-Bop, and The Shell Brothers' Whispering Winds to realize that the label had quite a lot going for it than the three or five songs we're told are classics. End Records time was brief (Goldner sold the label, and its subsidiary Gone, to music biz hustler Morris Levy in 1962), but while it lasted it more than held its' own as a home for great and influential music.

WALTER DAVIS - Please Remember Me 1930-1947 @320
While never a contemporary superstar or latter-day legend on a par with many of his peers, singer/pianist Walter Davis was among the most prolific blues performers to emerge from the pre-war St. Louis scene, cutting over 150 sides between 1930 and 1952. Born March 1, 1912 in Grenada, Mississippi, Davis' two-fisted piano style bore the heavy influence of Leroy Carr, although he was better known for his funereal vocal style. He first attracted attention upon relocating to St. Louis during the mid-'20s, and soon made the first of his many recordings for the Victor label. Despite its abundance, his work -- much of it recorded in conjunction with guitarist Henry Townsend -- was solid but unspectacular, eclipsed by the likes of associates including Roosevelt Sykes and Peetie Wheatstraw. Still, he enjoyed a fair amount of success before a stroke prompted him to move from music to the ministry during the early '50s. Davis was still preaching at the time of his death on October 22, 1963. (Allmusic)

RHIANNON GIDDENS - Tomorrow Is My Turn '15 @320
Rhiannon Giddens, singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and founding member of Grammy Award-winning Carolina Chocolate Drops, makes her solo recording debut with Tomorrow Is My Turn, due out February 10, 2015, on Nonesuch Records. (The vinyl will follow on March 3.) The album was produced by T Bone Burnett.
Stepping away from the Carolina Chocolate Drops, Rhiannon Giddens teams up with producer T-Bone Burnett for her 2015 solo debut, Tomorrow Is My Turn. Giddens previously worked with Burnett on Lost on the River, an album where musicians added new music to lyrics Bob Dylan left behind during The Basement Tapes, and she also appeared in a concert he shepherded for the Coen brothers' folk revival opus Inside Llewyn Davis -- two projects steeped in history, as is Tomorrow Is My Turn. Here, Giddens expands upon the neo-string band of the Carolina Chocolate Drops by crafting an abbreviated and fluid history of 20th century roots music -- along with the older forms that informed it -- concentrating on songs either written or popularized by female musicians. As a torchbearer, not a revivalist, Giddins isn't concerned with replicating either the sound or feel of the past, so she comfortably slips a subdued hip-hop drum loop into "Black Is the Color," a standard here credited to Nina Simone, and blurs country and soul boundaries on Patsy Cline's "She's Got You." These two are the most overt tamperings with tradition but Giddens is sly throughout Tomorrow Is My Turn, giving Elizabeth Cotten's "Shake Sugaree" a deceptively lively little lilt and casting Dolly Parton's "Don't Let It Trouble Your Mind" as a rolling progressive folk tune that creates an invisible bridge between past and present. Much of Giddens' work on Tomorrow Is My Turn demonstrates the benefits of such careful, deliberate sculpting, making it a nice fit for Burnett's handsome acoustica. Thankfully, the austereness that sometimes creeps into T-Bone's new millennial work is nowhere to be found; there's a warmth that radiates from Giddens, which is crucial to the success of the record. Her easy, welcoming touch is a balm every time Tomorrow Is My Turn is played, but it's upon successive spins that the intricacies of Giddens' construction -- not to mention her subtle political messages -- begin to take hold.

NORMAN & NANCY BLAKE - Natasha's Waltz (1979-1982) @320
Natasha's Waltz is a compilation of highlights from the albums Norman and Nancy Blake recorded for Rounder during the '80s, giving an excellent overview of one of the finest bluegrass and new acoustic duos of the era. (Allmusic)
I first encountered Norman Blake on John Hartford's 1971 landmark album AEREO-PLAIN. Since then I have become a life-long fan of his hybrid blend of folk, jazz, blues, old timey and bluegrass acoustic music. Norman is a gifted multi-insturmenalist who, along with his wife Nancy, play guitar, cello, mandolin, banjo, fiddle, mando-cello and accordian. They are joined by James Bryan (fiddle), Carl Jones (guitar, mandolin, mandola, banjo), Larry Sledge (mando-cello), Peter Ostroushko (mandolin, fiddle and guitar) and Charlie Collins (guitar, fiddle on tracks 13, 14, 16 and 18-21).
NATASHA'S WALTZ actually draws from three of Blake's out-of-print albums from the late Seventies and early Eighties for the Rounder label. Tracks 1-12 (all instrumentals) are from 1982's ORIGINAL UNDERGROUND MUSIC FROM THE MYSTERIOUS SOUTH. Tracks 15 and 17 are from 1979's THE RISING FAWN STRING ENSEMBLE. [Blake took the name from his home of Rising Fawn, Georgia.] The rest of the tracks are from the 1981 release FULL MOON ON THE FARM and includes the album's only vocal on the waltz-time "Diamonds in the Rough."
My only complaint is that the accompanying 4-page booklet is too skimpy. It doesn't even include songwriting credits, but even the original songs sound like they could have been written a hundred years ago. Blake and his wife, along with a group of like-minded musicians, are gifted instrumentalists who perform with a spirit that is both powerful and enchanting. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED (No Depression)
