Houston-based Freedom Records only lasted four years, from 1948 until 1952, but during that time they managed to released 50 singles by the likes of Big Joe Turner, Texas Alexander, Little Willie Littlefield, and Jesse Thomas, among others. Owned by transplanted New Yorker Solomon M. Kahal, whose principal background was in Tin Pan Alley, Freedom ended up focused on the jump blues and rhythm & blues generated out of Houston's Fourth Ward clubs. His relationship with a band called Conney's Combo gave him three artists, singer L.C. Williams, Lonnie Lyons on piano, and guitarist Goree Carter, with which to build up his label; he later added teenage piano wizard Little Willie Littlefield, who went on to record for the Bihari Brothers' Modern Records in Los Angeles. The company's big coup, however, was getting Big Joe Turner, then unsigned and on a Southern tour, for a quartet of singles, and also nailing Lightnin' Hopkins as an accompanist. (Bruce Eder, Allmusic)

The Music Never Stopped; Roots Of The Grateful Dead (Shanachie 1995)
An interesting concept: a compilation of the original versions of 17 songs frequently covered by The Grateful Dead in concert. Thoughtfully assembled, it showcases several aspects of their eclectic roots, encompassing jug band folk, country & western, Appalachian mountain music, country blues, '50s Chicago electric blues, R&B, Dylan, Guthrie, Holly, Berry, and more. Some of the recordings are very famous (Dylan's "It's All over Now, Baby Blue," Holly's "Not Fade Away"); others are downright obscure (Obray Ramsey's "Rain and Snow," the rare original version of "Morning Dew" by little-known Canadian folkie Bonnie Dobson). You'll find this to be a first-rate collection of roots music that's much more enjoyable than hearing The Dead's interpretations of the same tunes. (Richie Unterberger, Allmusic)

Mike Stuart Span - Children Of Tomorrow (1964-1968, Grapefruit CD 2011)
They made precious little impact at the time, but Brighton-based quartet The Mike Stuart Span has been lauded for decades as one of the finest British psychedelic bands of the late '60s. Licensing restrictions ensured that a definitive, all-encompassing compilation remained an impossible dream-until now! This 19-track mother lode features every known MSS studio recording for EMI and Fontana plus two tunes by the pre-MSS outfit the Mighty Atoms and a pair of 1966 demos that effectively won the group their EMI deal! Previously unpublished photos and new interviews with band members Stuart Hobday and Gary Murphy round out the package! Grapefruit. (Shindig)
From their early days as a soul band to their emerging talents as a prog rock band, this is the entire studio output of Mike Stuart Span (not to be confused with their later material under the name of Leviathan). For psych collectors, it's a MUST, as it illustrates perfectly how the group burst out from the restrictions imposed by their management to become one of the best British psychedelic bands of the 60s. Spine-tingling guitar work and tight arrangements show just how unlucky they were that success never came their way at the time. How ironic it is that their true worth has only been recognized by a later generation. Having said that, there may be a surprise for collectors in the quality of their first two Columbia B-sides, as well as in two of the bonus tracks recorded as demos as an attempt to secure a record contract. This was during their period spent as a soul band and it is obvious that they were badly advised on the two A-sides that eventually emerged. Accompanied by an amazingly comprehensive booklet, full of biographical detail, photographs and press cuttings, this is a great CD for anyone interested in what was going on under the radar in England during the best musical decade ever.

Benny & The Flybyniters - The Many Sides Of Benny & The Flybyniters (2001-2007, Rhythm Bomb 2016).zip
One of Australia's most authentic 1950's style jump blues and R&B bands!
we are releasing the CD »THE MANY SIDES OF« of Benny & The Flybyniters, which is a best of Benny‘s first three CD's »JET PROPELLED DADDY«, »BE GOOD OR BE GONE« and »HEY NOW« which were originally released on Aloha Records and are very hard to find nowadays.
Hits like »Two Dollar Woman« or »Party Like Never Before« show the many talents of Benny Peters, as one of the best australian blues guitar players, aswell as fantastic singer and also amazing songwriter. A milestone of authentic 1950s Rhythm and Blues .
Hand picked by Benny Peters, these 20 songs reflect the personal taste – which probably changed since Benny stepped into the recording studio 15 years ago - and showcase us a colorful »BEST OF« of not only a wonderful timeless piece of musical craftmanship as musician aswell as producer (with some support of legends like Graeme Thomas or Billy Horton).

Ry Cooder - Borderline (1980)
With 1980's Borderline, Ry Cooder followed the foray into R&B and soul of his previous effort, Bop Till You Drop, but this time out with a little shot of the Southwest thrown in. At the same time, he also continues the primarily electric sound of that record. There are still some terrific songs, including the Tex-Mex-flavored "The Girls from Texas," which may be the album's finest moment. Other highlights include one of John Hiatt's best, the written-to-order "The Way We Make a Broken Heart," as well as Billy "The Kid" Emerson's "Crazy 'Bout an Automobile," which Cooder had been performing live for a number of years, and the soulful Maurice & Mac treasure "Why Don't You Try Me." And while it's moments like these that help make Cooder's records special, he also takes on some better-known '50s and '60s offerings with success. His recording of Wilson Pickett's 1966 hit "634-5789" isn't going to make anyone forget the original, but he's able to pull it off as a rocker, while "Speedo" and "Down in the Boondocks" are good covers. Borderline is a solid album. (Allmusic)

I notice barely any comments on the shares from me lately. Is everyone now on Spotify and not interested? Let me know, thanks.
Thanks for Freedom vol.2.It´s even better than vol.1.Michael
Gyro,
Thanks for all your bonus posts. They are always interesting and have often introduced me to new music that I wouldn't come across elsewhere.
Thank you also to other TZ contributors for their shares.
It's always a pleasure to browse here.
@ anonymous that have request slade
also if i love visit revolution rock sometimes the link on this blog become out of order being on zippy (as in this case). so in case you don't ask for reupping the links this visit will be useless (at least if you don't enjoy also the other great music shared on revolutionrock)
so you can try to make a http://murodoclassicrock4.blogspot.it
on the blog there is a rich slade discography from beginning
(password for all link is muro all link are on zippy but must get rid of link shorter to access them)
you can also try ask to psyclist ro reup some of his slade
In past this user have share a lot of slade stuff Don't remember if was a complete discography
or make a visit to http://murodoclassicrock4.blogspot.it

@ Gyro sorry for not to say enough thanks for your hard work on sharing all this stuff with us. Believe in case like indefatigable sharers and users that make this blog so rich and full of great music like you or Ryp (but this discourse can be enlarged also to other Monty,Psyclist, ElTel, Northern Madman, Wayne etc) the thanks must be start in automatic. But we live in crazy hard time and sometime we forget the great power that have thanks as word.
I know maybe for other i'm bit annoying saying thanks (maybe too)often or responding (not always) to the thanks message i receive(luckily for the other Tz users aren't too much). but for me is a way to reciprocate for hard work other user made in upload all this music for other listeners pleasure. Believe maybe only who try to share music can understand how hard this is particurally when share ton of music like you.
for me i'll always thank you whetever is download or not your share. only have the possibility of accessing to this great music due to your generosity is a indescribable sensation for me.
ps at least you have the zippy download counter to know if your shares are successfull or not. in some case you haven't this consolation price and really don't understand if the music you share are totally shit for others, of none importance or there is someone that find it at least acceptable. and this believe me sometimes is a bit frustating.
Thank you for V2 Freedom R&B Story. It is always interesting to see the way a collection is put together. Looking forward to listening later.

Thanks to Luis and everyone else who takes the time to leave a comment. It's interesting that the zippyshare tally shows thousands of DL combined for a single day, yet there is usually 5 or 6 comments. That's the .001% who write. Thanks again - this is time consuming and it's rewarding to read a comment.
Thanks Hermann for the up on the Slade over on Revolutionrock12,but sadly all the links are expired now.

Thanks for all your tireless efforts! It is much appreciated, so your work is not in vain!

@Gyro A huge belated thanks for all your wonderful shares as usual, lately some health issues have come up, still recovering, and sometimes i just don't feel "well" enough to comment. Meds are making me cranky, tired and depressed. Your shares are always much appreciated.
And Gyro, by way of QED, the Blind Willie Johnson track made my day. Had it on a cassette recorded off (I think) "On the Wire" on BBC Radio Lancashire (Steve Barker), God knows when. Last heard in very iffy digs in pre-gentrified Camden Town in late 80s. Ta. J
Gremlin: Best wishes - been there.

Myself and my music library owe you a huge debt of gratitude, Gyro.
Just found this site -it is awesome!
Gyro,
Thanks for all the music you post.
(Especially the Tex-mex.)
It sometimes takes me a few days to download extract and play by then things have moved on - there is just so much going on on this blog.
I tend not to say a mere "Thanks", it looks so inadequate for all your hard work.
But ... thanks
Gyro, I've been looking for a decent copy of that Mike Stuart Span for years! Thank you so much for that and all that you and RYP do. Extra credit for making sure all of your shares are tagged and ready to go!
@ Gyro
Thanks for:
- Mike Stuart
- Benny & The Flybnyters (don't know why , but I'm quite sure that ?i?ll listen several times this album)
Thanks Gyro for The Music Never Stopped; Roots Of The Grateful Dead.
