During the 1950s Memphis was named the USA's cleanest and safest city and the diversified population had reached nearly 400,000. This 4CD compilation looks at the music recorded in Memphis and its environs by native Memphians and shows the stupendous effect the sounds had on the world of popular music. Music had always abounded in Memphis but there were no recording facilities there, an omission that one Sam Phillips was about to rectify, he opened the Memphis Recording Service at 706 Union Avenue on the 2nd of January 1950. He proceeded to record anything that moved including weddings, funerals and artists for WREC radio. He soon went on to record artists for record labels such as Gilt Edge and 4 Star and it didn't take more than a few months for him to record the likes of B.B. King, a young Ike Turner with Jackie Brenston, and madcap Rufus Thomas. Come 1952 Sam started his own record label, Sun, and the rest as they say is history. (Proper)

Lula Reed - I'm A Woman (But I Don't Talk Too Much); The Best Of The Rest 1952-1962
There have been several CDs of Lula's King and Federal material but there has never been a complete collection. The 30 tracks that Jasmine have gathered here also include six sides released on the Chess subsidiary Argo Records which have rarely been reissued. So if you own any of the compilations of her work issued in the CD era you will need this CD to complete your collection through to 1962.
Features her sought after gospel recordings such as 'Heavenly Road' along with the rock and roll favourite 'Bump on a Log'.
Sadly Lula Reed withdrew herself from the music industry in 1964 never to return but this excellent new CD from Jasmine once again shows us what a superb and versatile talent she was.
Fully detailed liner notes.

3. THE WILD STAGE OF LIFE

Loosenoose - Loosenoose (2008)
Well here it is - much awaited album from Mark Harman, Jeff Bayley and Mark Simpson - Loosenoose. If you're buying this expecting a neo-rockabilly, Restless flashback, it's not! Buy it though anyway this is a brand new band and sound.
The album contains 20 tracks making it exceptional value for money and too long to review track by track, all but one Mark Harman originals.
The opener, Southern Belle is a stomping country/rockabilly romp designed to drink hard too, Katterine - a wailing country rock tearjerker of lost love with superb vocals.
Hanging on for you, feature Jeff's double bass to the fore a mid tempo number with to me a an early 60's country sound. The only cover on the album is Garth Brookes 'Papa Loves Mama', now I have never really liked Mr Brookes, but these guys seem to make the song dirtier, gritier and take the 'showbiz' off it which is how how bar room drinkin' songs should sound.
Rich Little Bitch grinds out the guitar of Mark a heavier rock sound here. The I Keep Forgettin' to Remember' is back to a more rockabilly sound, tight snare, slapping bass and twanging guitar. Flash in the Pan zips along and should get any crowd jumping around.
There are a lot of great songs on this but my favorite is Devil got a Hold (the lucifer mix), the second version of the song on the album and for any neo fans who thought the guys would let them down this proves they dont, hard fast, dirty, equal to any of Restless' work.
The band have produced an excellent album and should be very big as a result, its accessibile to just about everyone who likes the rockin' scene, no matter what their preference of styles. The standard of musicianship is top notch.
I have heard that people liken this to the Mavericks, Garth Brooks and the like, but I can hear Marty Robbins, Bob Luman type influences as well, don't be put off by the 'country' tag that may associated with this, it is so much more.
I saw them preview this at last years Rockabilly Rave, they were a blow away success and brought the house down, as the new material becomes more familiar to the fans then I think we'll hear less of the calls for old stuff, although the boys were happy to throw some of that in as well.
Overall, buy it, see them enjoy it. (Rockabilly Bash)

Shoes - Double Exposure; Present Tense Demos 1979, Tongue Twister Demos 1980 CD 1 + 2
This 2-disc, 30-song retrospective includes Shoes’ original, 8-track demos that not only landed the band their major label deal, but also became the foundation for their first two major-label releases, "Present Tense" and "Tongue Twister". Recorded in their basement studio from 1978 to 1980.
Rarely would anyone have the opportunity to hear entire albums of any band's music that would go from simple demos to being full-fledged songs on a release. However, that is just what Shoes has done with their latest release of Double Exposure. The double album release takes every song that appears on both albums and lets the listener hear the original versions of each song the way the band wanted them to sound on their albums. And while the band went to England to record their major label release of Present Tense, the resulting album for Elektra sounds amazingly like the demos that the group had recorded themselves previous to entering the studio to officially create the album that the label would release. With Double Exposure, Shoes took their first two albums and has given their fans a little bit more: Double Exposure takes all of the demos used to make up the song list of those first albums, and includes the demos of songs created for, but not included on, both albums. And although these songs would not be included on the official releases from the band, the five songs still have the sound that the band was known for. --Matheson Kamin-The Rock and Roll Report
The Shoes were one of the great Power Pop acts in the late 70s/early 80s. They had every right to be as popular as Cheap Trick, the Cars, et al, but somehow they never scored any hits. These 30 tracks are demos of the songs that would appear on the Shoes two masterpiece albums, Present Tense and Tongue Twister. The melodies are sweet but with just enough of an edge to them - same with the music. It's like Cheap Trick but more introspective, the Cars but not as slick - four shy and nondescript guys from the Midwest who had a love of melodic music and a knack for creating great pop songs. The songs make me feel like I'm at the roller rink on a Friday night, slow dancing with me new girl, both of us with feathered hair and me with a comb in my back pocket. But this is not novelty music; it is some of the best power pop you'll ever hear, and these demos are a little rawer (and thus maybe more interesting) than the officially-released versions of the songs.

Roots Of Rock (1927-1937) Yazoo L 1063
This compilation from the premiere Yazoo roots reissue label contains 14 original jazz and blues recordings circa the 1920s and 1930s that would inform some of rock & roll's best-known and revered compositions -- many of which had been credited as being of an unknown or "traditional" origin. The authenticity of a majority of these sides is immediately apparent from the copious amounts of surface noise on the original 78 rpm source material. That caveat aside, this is some vital music that could easily be considered the rock & roll of its era.
Most of the titles found on this volume can be easily associated with their obvious counterparts. There are a couple of notable tunes which were covered [read: stolen] by Led Zeppelin, such as the 1929 recording of "When the Levee Breaks" by Kansas Joe and Memphis Minnie as well as Bukka White's "Shake 'Em on Down" from 1937, which Zep dubbed "Custard Pie" on Physical Graffiti (1975). Cream was among those to find inspiration in Charley Patton's "A Spoonful Blues" as well as Skip James' "I'm So Glad." The Jefferson Airplane blues-based spin-off, Hot Tuna, recorded a stretched-out "That'll Never Happen No More," which is featured here by Blind Blake, who is rumored to have taught it to Reverend Gary Davis. It was Davis who then recollected it to Tuna's Jorma Kaukonen, as well as other folkys such as Dave Van Ronk and Stefan Grossman. Although the title "That's No Way to Get Along" may not immediately click with rock fans, many will inevitably know the same tune as "Prodigal Son" by the Rolling Stones. The same fate may befall Henry Thomas' "Bull Doze Blues," which will inevitably be recognized by the Canned Heat version which was retitled "Goin' up the Country." (Lindsay Planer, Allmusic)

Crowded House - Intriguer (2010, Deluxe Edition 2016)
Finally and with little fanfare, "Intriguer" is here. Having seen two of the shows on the recent tour, there is no doubt that CH has gotten better with age. It will be criminal if this music is not heard by all. Many of the songs were previewed by the band in shows in America two years ago. As a collection, the songs are outstanding, well crafted, hooks galore, great vocals and the band sounds great. Neil Finn remains an amazing song writer and his voice, as he ages, has gained such depth and beauty.
Intriguer is Crowded House‘s last studio album. Issued in 2010, the 10-track long-player features as part of the 2016 reissue campaign and comes a two-CD deluxe edition.

Jethro Tull - This Was (1968, 40th Anniversary Collector's Edition 2008)
Two discs. 71,55 min. each. Remastered sound. I must first make a confession - this is still my favorite album in Jethro Tull's catalogue. So with that in mind,here we go. Recorded rather quickly and on the cheap,this contains a lot of why British "rock" music was so interesting. Take a bit of blues,some Roland Kirk-style flute,including singing into the flute while playing,a slight bit of folk music,and some good old rock and roll-English style- and there you have it.

D.J. Rogers - D.J. Rogers (1973)
This early release from D.J. Rogers is one of his best. Cut for the Shelter label in 1973, before Rogers gained some exposure on RCA and Columbia, the eponymous album features plenty of the gospel-inflected soul the singer/producer/arranger would become known for. In fact, the bulk here is squarely bent on the kind of community-driven positivism found in the black church ("March On," "Where There's a Will"). And the music certainly reflects the lofty sentiments, as strings, choral singing, and urbane soul grooves ensure a truly inspired mix; this blend is especially well essayed on the extended, heaven-bound travelogue "Don't You Want to Ride." A soul classic that's unfortunately still buried in album-bin oblivion. (Allmusic)
Mindblowing music from the great DJ Rogers – his first record, and a rootsy album of spiritual soul, right up there with the best 70s work by artists like Donny Hathaway, Rance Allen, or Stevie Wonder! Like all of those giants, DJ's got a deeply soulful vocal style that's more than influenced by a history in the church – and also like all of them, DJ takes that sound past any gospel cliches, and reworks it into a sophisticated new groove, perfect for the growth in the 70s soul market at the time, and touched with just the right bit of smooth modern production. DJ produced, wrote, and sung on all the album – and also handled a fair bit of the keyboard work as well. Titles include "Listen To The Message", "Where There's A Will", "Take Time", "March On", "Don't You Want To Ride", "Bail Out", and "Celebration". © 1996-2016, Dusty Groove, Inc.

@bart - I'm not aware of that album existing. Dolly Parton's first album "Hello, I'm Dolly" (Monument) came out in 1967 and she only had a few singles out before that so I doubt she had a 2LP collection that year.
WoW!
Thanks a lot!
Thank you for the Shoes demos, Gryo! I've listened to the first disc a few times already. Great versions.
Thanks, Gyro, for the Crowded House and the Jethro Tull.
