Although it didn't enjoy the major label hype that his current output does, Walker's HighTone encore just may be his finest album of all, filled with soulful vocal performances, bone-cutting guitar work, and tight backing from the Boss Talkers and the Memphis Horns. Honestly, you can't go wrong with any of Walker's remarkably consistent HighTone discs -- but give this one the slightest of edges over the rest. ~ Bill Dahl

$6.19
| | Junior Wells Hoodoo Man Blues CD (1965)
Gift
$9.85 HOODOO MAN BLUES is one of the great albums from the era of classic Chicago blues. Though usually overshadowed by mid-century Chicago legends like Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf, Junior Wells ranks among the most dynamic and satisfying performers of the milieu, and his explosive harmonica playing and charismatic vocals come through like gangbusters on this 1965 release. The record has the added distinction of being one of the first long-playing blues albums to hit the scene (blues had largely been confined to 45s prior to its release).
The sessions benefit from notably clean production and fine musicianship (Buddy Guy ...

| | Liz Mandville Greeson Ready To Cheat CD (1999)
Gift
$12.25 Greeson's sophomore project for Earwig is a hot item. Greeson wrote every song on the album -- an extremely unusual accomplishment for a female blues singer -- and the material gives her the opportunity to showcase her stylistic range. Greeson fits right into the time-honored blues tradition of sultry women singing sexually charged tunes with a great deal of feeling. Her music is the hard stuff: late-night, roadhouse blues for adults. She can burn down a slow blues like "Those Kisses" with the same moxie as she belts out a hard-hitting Chicago blues tune like "Quit Doggin." Greeson has also written a very effective topical piece, "Walking on Eggshells," which addresses the touchy issue of spousal abuse. Her performance on "Reefer Woman" is a languid bit of naughtiness that is one of the highlights of the CD, as is her clever double-entendre tune "He Left It in His Other Pants." Greeson is a notable blues singer and a veteran of the Chicago club scene. This release has everything it takes to carry her reputation far beyond the Windy City. ~ Philip Van Vleck
Ready to Cheat is a dark, sexy, dangerous blend of Chicago blues and Memphis soul, spun from the pen of Chicago blues diva Liz Mandville Greeson. Winding her steely, muscular four-octave voice around her new original songs, Liz delivers sassy, soul-drenched blues for the new millennium. Liz is an accomplished Chicago-based songwriter, singer and performer who has received enthusiastic acclaim not only from audiences in the Chicago blues club scene, where she appears regularly, but also from her appearances in national and international tours. Listen to her lively , lusty views of life, love, and sex on this album, her second Earwig recording. The album features the Chicago Fire Horns, Bruce Thompson and the Black Roses on background vocals, and some of the finest Chicago session men in the business."Her record shows charisma, vocal superiority and some clever, sexy lyrics done up well with fine arrangements and backing band." -Grapevine Press"... Greeson is ready to go nationwide with this well-crafted disc of originals that covers everything from raw, gritty blues soul to swinging cabaret style numbers ... Greeson isn't afraid to play with raw emotion. You'll be cheating yourself big time if you skip this release." -West Michigan Blues Society Liz Mandville Greeson spent the late 1980s running up and down the road with her R&B band the Supernaturals. She played thousands of gigs, from smoky biker bars to swanky theatres, casinos to yacht clubs, honing her musical chops and crowd-pleasing skills. In 1994, a chance meeting with bassist Aron Burton led to Liz’ subsequent ...
| | Michael Lee Firkins Decomposition CD (2001) (Import) Netherlands
Gift
$28.89 A guitar shredder along the lines of Steve Vai and Joe Satriani, Firkins here takes on some surprising material, specifically the Duke Ellington classic "Caravan," and the theme from PINK PANTHER. But VINTAGE GUITAR magazine said this album is "a guitar player's dream," so obviously Michael Lee knew what he was doing.
Michael Lee Firkins is a guitar virtuoso that not many would want to match licks with. The group that he has put together for this album is certainly a perfect union. Together they have taken some classic pieces, plus one original, and transformed them into new vibrant presentations that are once again timeless masterpieces to be treasured. "Still Alive and Well," a Rick Derringer cover, is superbly laced with a tight rhythm section and well-crafted lead guitar riffs. The vocals are powerful and add strength to the piece in this dimension. The full rich tone will certainly appeal to fans of hot and heavy rock & roll. On "Manic Depression," a Jimi Hendrix cover, for the first time on the album one has the chance to examine the lead guitar virtuoso, Michael Lee Firkins, at his finest. Jimi Hendrix would certainly be pleased to hear his piece, kicked up a notch and spiced with some expressive phrases that show that this guitarist is most certainly experienced. The drum work by Trevor Thornton displays ingenuity with some creative fills that form a steadfast foundation for Firkins to expand from. "I Need You," a Lynyrd Skynyrd cover, really allows ...
