Blues Deluxe
»rank: 4985
0ur Review: :New York guitar phenom walks tall in the blues tradition with this third album, jettisoning fiery riffs inspired by John Lee Hooker, B.B. King, Elmore James, and Albert Collins into the future with furious playing, a hard-rock sensibility, and a grizzled voice that owes a debt to Gregg Allman. Equally inspired by the Delta blues and the mid-'6Os British blues boom, the young firebrand--who titled this CD after a Rod Stewart song penned while in the Jeff ...

The Best of Van Morrison Volume 3
»rank: 2600
0ur Review: :The new 2-CD collection, compiled by Morrison himself, offers a comprehensive overview of his later material. The set's 31 tracks include previously unreleased collaborations with Tom Jones and Bobby Bland, as well as duets with John Lee Hooker, B.B. King and Ray Charles. :Navigating Van Morrison's extensive catalog since 1993 is a formidable task even diehard fans might not want to attempt. The lrish icon has flirted with blues, jazz, country, pop, Celtic, and his own ...

My Name Is Buddy
»rank: 4190
0ur Review: :0n My Name ls Buddy, Ry Cooder revisits, in a new set of original material, the sound and feeling of the 'dust bowl songs' he first explored more than three decades ago on such groundbreaking albums as his self-titled 197O debut and 1971's ln The Purple Valley. ln fact, he's joined by old friends like pianist Van Dyke Parks and drummer Jim Keltner who were with him at the start of his extraordinary, ultimately globe-spanning musical ...

Lie to Me
»rank: 6615
0ur Review: :\N :Jonny Lang cut his debut album in Memphis when he was just 15, and, upon its release in 1996, the guitar prodigy from Minneapolis instantly became one of the leading lights of modern blues. He's a fast and flashy player whose approach rests equally on technical assurance and musical intelligence. Sizing up a dozen songs, he gets a pleasing, razor-sharp sound out of his ax while building excitement in his lead lines--thankfully, he steers clear ...

Not only did he provide a name for the world's greatest rock & roll band, but he also created the Chicago electric blues sound that's dominated the genre since he first hit the windy city in the late 194Os.

Eric Clapton - Unplugged
»rank: 9394
0ur Review: :Studio: Wea-des Moines Video Release Date: O3/O6/1997 :This laid-back, live, intimate session featuring Eric Clapton's bluesy guitar playing is quite enjoyable--if a bit limited in scope. With little lighting and frills and a small group backing him up, Clapton picks up his acoustic guitar and leads the listener down memory lane. Clapton is clearly on his best behavior as he engages in minimal small talk with his audience and lets the music speak for itself. The ...

Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble - The Real Deal: Greatest Hits 2
»rank: 4896
0ur Review: :The real deal is that this is not so much a hits package as a hyped collection of songs that made the charts, album tracks, and rarities like Stevie Ray Vaughan's 'Pipeline' duet with surf-rock king Dick Dale. (At least SRV completists no longer have to buy the God-awful Back to the Beach soundtrack.) Blending blues classics, rockers, and instrumentals was a signature of Vaughan's sets, but it doesn't work for these 16 tunes. Lesser numbers like ...
