Appointed "Mother of the Blues" during her '20s heyday, singer Ma Rainey was one of the best of the many classic female blues singers of the period. An inspiration to the "Empress of the Blues," Bessie Smith, Rainey was a Georgia native who was discovered in Chicago during the early '20s. While not the possessor of a voice as powerful as Smith's, Rainey still cut a slew of strong sides featuring a fine blend of country blues intensity and jazz-band sophistication. This excellent Yazoo collection captures Rainey in her prime from 1924-1928. Backed by large combos and minimal guitar and piano tandems, Rainey shines on such highlights as "Booze and Blues," "Shave 'Em Dry," and "Lucky Rock Blues." Topped off with stellar contributions by blues and jazz luminaries like Don Redman, Coleman Hawkins, Kid Ory, and Georgia Tom Dorsey, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom makes for an excellent introduction to blues singer's small but potent catalog. ~ Stephen Cook

Best Of The Gap Band CD  (1995)

Black Bottom songs
CD $11.99  4.3 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
A collection from the Mercury funk lineup that covers the hits from the first five Gap Band albums. Every major hit that they had is included here. What one might notice is that all of the major hits ("You Dropped a Bomb on Me," "Burn Rubber on Me," "Early in the Morning," and "I Don't Believe You Want to Get up and Dance") all sound surprisingly similar. This may or may not be a large surprise to everyone, but the bright note about their similarity is that the basic riffs and rhythms that they all use are extremely catchy. The energy that the Gap Band exudes in the midst of producing a song is stunning, and this compilation displays that to the fullest extent. For a basic introduction to the forms of funk that the Gap Band followed, this album would certainly suit any given listener. For those who only need one Gap Band album in their collection, this one also fits the bill perfectly. For die-hard fans who already have all of the band's albums, this one would ...

Past Is Yet To Come
Craig Ventresco Past Is Yet To Come CD  (2000)

Black Bottom songs
CD $13.99  Audio Samples
San Francisco-based acoustic guitarist Craig Ventresco makes his way where almost everyone else fears to tread nowadays -- reviving forgotten vaudeville and pop tunes from the early years of the 20th century. That, of course, is a no-no in a 21st century musicological scene that is more than a little embarrassed by the pop music of those days -- often for PC reasons -- yet Ventresco's spirited, intricate arrangements for solo guitar sound anything but anachronistic. In choosing and arranging his material for solo guitar, Ventresco avoids the sand trap of sentimentality that could have easily pinned this music firmly in the past. Drawing upon country, blues, ragtime, and even classical techniques, he enlivens such rarities as "Whoa, You Heifer" (1904), "Tobacco-Rag Waltz" (1909), "Dance of the Nile Maidens" (1906), and even the more familiar snake charmer "Salome," essentially making them more acceptable to modern ears. Occasionally, he pulls a well-known composer from out of his large song bag (Scott Joplin's "Sunflower Slow Drag," "Goodnight Angeline" from the Eubie Blake/Noble Sissle team), and Ventresco's own "Shadow Blues" fits unobtrusively into the mosaic. Indeed, if you put modern titles on many of these tunes as heard here, only a specialist could accurately guess their vintage. While Ventresco is not the smoothest, most polished player in the world on these tracks -- his rhythm ...
Prophecy Keeper
Bunny Sings Wolf Prophecy Keeper CD  (2005)

Black Bottom album
CD $11.39
This album garnered a coveted nomination in 2007 with Aboriginal Peoples Music Choice Awards! PROPHECY KEEPER is a very timely 28 minutes of soulful music on CD with haunting canyon echoing Native flute, heartbeat drum, chimes and acoustic guitar harmonies, storm winds and thunder sounds to compliment the meaningful words so heart-fully sent from the strength of a feminine voice you won't soon forget! (sounds like Joni). The creation of this CD was supported in part by a grant by the Wyoming Arts Council through funding from the National Endowment for the Arts. PROPHECY KEEPER has the kinds of sounds that relieve stress and give hope, being played on a number of satellite and Native American radio stations where listeners have been saying this is truly music for our time! In the sacred Black Hills surrounded by sage kissed prairie - where indigenous clans lived for centuries nurturing and respecting the land and it's diversity of creatures and plant life - Here a life-style was lived to preserve these resources and each tribe had their teachers, elders and wisdom keepers who had dreams and visions, and the receiving of prophecy, to help nurture, teach and protect life and keep good relationship with all living things in an effort to preserve and protect earth's abundance for generations who would follow in their footsteps. Bunny sends her soulful voice with flute, drum, chimes and acoustic guitar harmonies, wind and thunder (and surprise BONUS dreams songs included as a THANK YOU for these gifts of her own brand of Lakota-inflective Folk music from the sacred Black Hills)!In sound and soulfully reflective lyrics, this music represents life-ways based the teachings and prophecies harmonious with the natural created world that were passed on in story, ...
