You & Me
»rank: 5641
0ur Review: :A powerful fusion of the 'big rock sound' and swampy blues, You & Me gets much of its inspiration from such masters as Peter Green, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton and John Lee Hooker. Bonamassa delivers all the excitement and power of his electrifying live performances while mixing it up with dynamic music choices; from hard to soft, electric to acoustic, a music roller coaster seldom achieved by recording artists today. You & Me also marks the ...

0ur Review: :The simple blues-informed pop charms of L.A. songwriter Kevin Moore remain unchanged on his eighth album. All twelve of these songs about romance and its triumphs and failures go down easy, thanks to his unhurried and unmannered singing, and arrangements that run slow and spare. That openness allows Moore's slide playing, perfected on the porch of Mississippi delta bluesman Eugene Powell, to add subtle, pretty decoration to tunes like 'Your Love' and 'Eileen.' He's got a sympathetic ...

Live in Cook County Jail

0ur Review: essential recording:0ne of the greatest concert recordings of all time. How could it be less, with B.B. King performing some of his best material before a literally captive audience in an lllinois prison? 'Worry, Worry' and 'How Blue Can You Get' take on deeper meanings here, although King works the latter's camp lyrics as if he were in a juke joint. His mix of down-home humility and commanding stagecraft is instantly appealing. And his guitar barks, ...

0ur Review: :Back in the early '8Os, this Michigan family act was dismissed by some as a poor man's version of the more successful Jacksons. Yet in El DeBarge's quavering tones (a clear influence on Babyface), DeBarge had a singer who eschewed soul pyrotechnics and went straight for the pathos, which colored even DeBarge's uptempo songs such as 'Rhythm of the Night' with a sadness and yearning that still resonates today. They may never have become megastars, but DeBarge ...
