THIRD GENERATION BLUES was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Traditional Folk Album.
Many of bluegrass legend Doc Watson's best-loved recordings were made with his guitar-playing son Merle, who died at a tragically young age. On THIRD GENERATION BLUES Merle's son Richard takes up the baton, and the result is an album that recalls Doc and Merle's glory days. Doc's calmly intense vocals are as effective as ever. Time may have snuck his voice a bit lower in register, but that only adds to its often-chilling resonance.
One of the most interesting aspects of this album is that, while it digs deeps into the folk traditions of American music, it doesn't contain many actual bluegrass songs. From the blues chestnut "Honey Please Don't Go" (more commonly known as "Baby Please Don't Go") to "House of the Rising Sun" and Tim Hardin's folk-rock ballad "If I Were A Carpenter," Doc and Richard weave disparate musical strands into an appealing garment that bears an authentic bluegrass veneer.

Digitally remastered by Kevin Metcalf (2000, The Soundmasters, London, England.)
This is a reissue of an obscure classic from the late 1970s, an album made by the young reggae deejay Trinity under the aegis of the great roots singer and producer Yabby You (Vivian Jackson). Trinity was just 22 when he recorded this album, and at this point he owed a tremendous stylistic debt to Big Youth; still, his delivery is original enough and his lyrics clever enough that he sounds less like an imitator than a respectful disciple. Although by this time in his ...

Third Generation Blues songs
$10.59
Root Damage is a two-disc, 49-track look at Sympathy for the Record Industry's blues output between 1989 and 2003. The label has long been a proud bastion of loud, raucous sounds from the garage and anywhere else music is played with abandon. Their approach to the blues over the years has been similar, and the fruits of their efforts make for a filthy listening experience. The artists they have recorded range from the authentic Southern sounds of R.L. Burnside, Junior Kimbrough, and CeDell Davis to the classic punk-blues of the Gun Club, '68 Comeback, and Panther Burns to the Childish British blues of Holly Golightly, Dan Melchior, and the man himself, Billy Childish, to the country blues of the Reigning Sound, Mark Spitz Freestyle, and Monsieur Jeffrey Evans to the modern supercharged punk-blues of the Soledad Brothers, Mr. Airplane Man, and Pearlene. The highlights of the set are quite plentiful, but the best of them are former Flamin' Groovie Chris Wilson's drunken acoustic "Dark Haired Girl," the Kirby Grips' country blues at the junior prom-sounding "Needless," the Deadly Snakes' yowling "Love Undone," Wreckless Eric's boozy "Harry's Flat," the Gibson Brothers' manic "Memphis Chicken," and an early lo-fi track from Beck, "Leave Me ...
| | Tom Darby & Jimmie Tarlton Darby & Tarlton CDs (2005) (Import) Remastered; Box Set; United Kingdom
Third Generation Blues album
$26.79
By all accounts Tom Darby and Jimmie Tarlton were an acrimonious duo, thrown together more by opportunity than any pressing desire to play music together, but in spite of the tension between them (or maybe because of it), the body of work they recorded together for Columbia Records between 1927 and 1933 is as singular and distinctive as any in early country or blues. Both were fine guitar players, with Darby generally handling the lead vocals and Tarlton the harmonies, but the difference-maker was Tarlton's striking slide guitar style. Tarlton played with the guitar in his lap Hawaiian-style, and reportedly fretted it with a wrist pin from a car. His slide lines give everything the duo recorded an eerie, exotic presence that, coupled with their impeccable vocals, makes them utterly unique. Darby & Tarlton played rags and waltzes and other popular dance forms of the day, but their bread and butter was always the blues, and when you hear people say that country music started as the white man's version of the blues, the tracks collected on this four-disc set from JSP Records are exactly what they're talking about. Among the obvious highlights here are the duo's version of "Going Down the Road Feeling Bad" called "Down in Florida on a Hog," the sublime "Birmingham Town" (which borrows its melody from "Jesse James"), their version of Dorsey Dixon's "Weaver Blues," the fun "Ooze Up to Me," the familiar melody of "Roy Dixon" (Roy Acuff would borrow it for his "Great Speckled Bird"), and "Birmingham Jail" and "Columbus Stockade Blues," which were a two-sided hit for Darby & Tarlton, selling some 200,000 copies on 78, ...
