Duane Allman: An Anthology Vol. I & II
Duane Allman's greatness was apparent on his recordings with the Allman Brothers, yet there was another side to the superb guitarist. For many years, he was a highly respected session musician, playing on cuts by Wilson Pickett, Aretha Franklin, King Curtis, Boz Scaggs, Delaney & Bonnie, and Clarence Carter, among others. By including those session cuts, as well as a sampling of his brief sojourn in Eric Clapton's Derek and the Dominoes and a few rare solo tracks, along with a number of representative Allman Brothers songs, the double-album Anthology winds up drawing a complete portrait of Allman. He may have recorded plenty of other material worth hearing, but this has the bare essentials for an excellent introduction and retrospective. (Allmusic)
While his recording career only lasted a little more than six years ('66-'71), Duane Allman's playing was heard not only with the Allman Brothers Band, but on a variety of important records by other artists as well. Hence this posthumous 1972 double-album collection, which--besides five Allman Brothers tracks--includes many memorable solos by the distinctive slide guitarist from sessions at the fabled Fame and Muscle Shoals studios. Highlights include soul versions of "Hey Jude" (Wilson Pickett), "The Weight" (Aretha Franklin), and "Games People Play" (King Curtis), as well as the time-stopping "Somebody Loan Me a Dime" (Boz Scaggs) and Derek and the Dominoes' classic, "Layla." --Billy Altman

Country Music On The Speciality Label - BACM 499
28 tracks, highly recommended
Although best known for it's great R&B blues, rock 'n' roll and gospel recordings the Specialty also issued a handful of country recordings between 1952 and 1953 and this superb disc features about 2/3 of them. Although the label didn't record much hillbilly, what is featured here is very good indeed - a mix of honky tonk and Western Swing and features some of the earliest recordings of artists who went on to more extensive careers. The most well known artist here is probably Claude King who had a slew of hits for Columbia in the 1960s. His eight tracks are solid honky tonk and includes the splendid Got The World By The Tail which he later recorded for Columbia. Shot Jackson became a much in demand Dobroist and steel guitar player but here he is featured on four honky tonk ballads including the great If The Truth Was Known. Other artists include Johnny Tyler (western swing oriented), Biff Collie, Joyce Lawrence & Earney Vandergriff, Jerry Green, Leon Stancil and others. Many of the artists were from Texas and Louisiana so I supect that they were recorded there (maybe by Stan Lewis in Shreveport?). An unexpected delight. Some of the tracks here were issued some years ago on the Cactus collection but this has three more tracks as well as other tracks not on the Cactus collection plus this has a booklet with brief notes on the artists by British country music expert Phillip Tricker. (FS) (Roots & Rhythm)

The I Don't Cares - Wild Stab '16
Paul Westerberg of The Replacements and Juliana Hatfield announced their partnership as The I Don’t Cares back in October. Along with the singles “1 / 2 2 P” and “King of America” came the promise of the duo’s debut full-length. Now, they’ve officially announced the impending release of Wild Stab due out January 22nd (that’s tomorrow!) on Dry Wood.
The LP consists of 16 tracks, many of which find Westerberg being unfamiliarly cheery. It would seem that both he and Hatfield have found rejuvenation in their new collaboration. “Making this music, that elusive ‘never done this before’ feeling permeated the little room more than once,” the band says in the album’s linear notes, “and it was very welcome.”
As a last-second preview of the album, they’ve shared the single “Born For Me”. A re-working of a song from Westerberg’s 1999 solo record Suicaine Gratifaction, this updated version has a shambolic pep in its step. Instead of a touching acoustic ode, it’s now an energetic and playful declaration of perfect romance. Check it out over at The Current.

Lucinda Williams - The Ghosts of Highway 20 (2016)
We’ve all heard about the iconic vibe of Route 66, the neon lights on Broadway and the ocean air of the Pacific Coast Highway. But there are untold stories emanating from countless blue highways across the land like Interstate 20, which cuts a 1500-mile swath from South Carolina to Texas, and cuts deep into the spirit of those who ve spent their lives traversing it.
Lucinda Williams is one of those people, and with the expansive, enveloping
The Ghosts of Highway 20, she brings those stories to life and gives listeners a remarkably vivid look at how the highway has been a literal and figurative backdrop throughout her entire life. The intensely involving 14-song collection may be the most deeply felt, deeply affecting work of Lucinda Williams illustrious 35-plus-year career, a career that has been established on a foundation of remarkably personal songs.
It is literally a map of my life in a lot of ways, says Lucinda. We were driving between shows and between cities, and I kept seeing things that brought me back to times and places in my past. Like when we played in Macon, Georgia, a place I lived when I was five or six years old, I got out of the bus and I was transported back to when I saw this street singer, Blind Pearly Brown. It was like nothing had changed. All these things started percolating in my brain, and the songs just came.
The thread of Highway 20 connects those songs, mirroring the winding route of the road itself, a street that cleaves close to Williams childhood homes, the final resting place of her mother, the sites where signposts of her formative years are forever planted. The connection runs deep here, particularly on the dark and moody tones of the album s poignant title track, on which Lucinda ponders the lives that were lived, the legacies that were left and the imprints that remain on her own soul, conveying those vignettes with a palette that s nuanced enough to give the listener pause to ponder, but unvarnished enough that her message is impossible to miss.

Pete Ham - 7 Park Avenue 1970-74 (1997 Ryko CD)
Only two of these 18 tracks ("No Matter What" and "Matted Spam") were recorded by Badfinger. But the rest of these solo studio demos are quite up to scratch with Badfinger's usual standards: it's not nearly as good as Paul McCartney's late Beatles tracks, for instance, but it's actually better than McCartney's typical early solo material. Pete Ham is a thinking listener's rock romantic, offering emotional, wistful words and melodies without sounding sappy. Purists should be aware that, although Ham played most of the instruments here, some overdubs were added in the '90s by other musicians, for the purpose of giving the tracks a fuller, more balanced sound. It's difficult to judge whether this decision was justified without hearing the original versions, though one wonders whether die-hard Badfinger fans (the primary audience for this release) would really care that much about any sonic imperfections in the originals. In any case, the end result sounds pretty tasteful, without any obvious concessions to dressing up the essential sounds in modern technology. (Richie Unterberger, Allmusic)

Pete Ham - Golders Green 1968-1975 (1999 Ryko CD)
This second collection of previously unreleased home demos by Ham is almost as worthwhile and satisfying to the ear as its predecessor, 7 Park Avenue. Again, some musicians (including Bob Jackson, who was in Badfinger for a while shortly before Ham's death) enhanced these recordings with overdubs. And as with 7 Park Avenue, while it's impossible to tell if these were truly necessary without comparison to the original unadorned versions, these overdubs do not seem intrusive (as they are on most productions of this sort). Although there are 20 tracks, it's not as bountiful a platter as one might hope (adding up to only 42 minutes), as some of the songs are quite short, and three are nothing more than fragments lasting less than a minute. In the main, though, these are quality, sometimes enchantingly tuneful and tender performances, sometimes exhibiting a Beach Boys bent that's not so evident on Badfinger's official recordings. The cut to attract the most attention will be a demo of "Without You," although Ham's version is an incomplete skeleton of the track that Badfinger would record (and Nilsson would cover for a chart-topping hit), missing the chorus added by fellow Badfinger member Tom Evans. Otherwise a highlight is "Makes Me Feel Good," two drastically different versions (one slow, one fast) which open and close the disc; it sounds like it could have made a first-rate Monkees track (which is a compliment, not a knock). On the whole, the effect of this CD, as was the case with 7 Park Avenue, is to make one wish that Badfinger had recorded more of Ham's material and had made less room for the songwriting efforts of the lesser composers in the band.
