| | Black Boy Shine & Black Ivory King CD Black Boy Shine Discography of CDs
Eighteen songs by Black Boy Shine (rounded out by four more from Black Ivory King), in surprisingly good sound. Shine had no time, in the course of two years of recordings, to deteriorate in either his sound or health on record here. Most of his songs have to do with aspects of life for his black audience, and are highlighted by inventive piano playing and a surprisingly sweet, almost sultry melodious vocal style. "Hobo Blues" and "Ice Pick and Pistol Woman Blues" depict some of the more brutal and vivid sides of the life that Shine or his audience lived. ~ Bruce Eder

Down Home Boys is a name Alex Hill and Bob Robinson from The Hokum Boys used when recording for a rival label.
Document presents 25 historical recordings made between June and December 1929 by a constantly changing little group of Chicago musicians who called themselves the Hokum Boys. Key members were pianists Jimmy Blythe and Alex Hill, operating in cahoots with any of several guitarists including Dan Roberts, Bob Alexander, Alex Robinson, Ikey Robinson, and a banjo-toting guitarist named Bob Robinson, who doubled on the clarinet. Everybody involved in these groups participated in singing the often smutty songs that formed the nucleus of their hokum repertoire. "Hokum" was a type of blues and jazz-fueled entertainment designed to elicit laughter and encourage the listeners to cut loose, self-medicate, and blow off steam. Remember that these tunes were never intended to be heard in sequence as they appear on a compact disc holding as many as 25 tracks. ...

Black Boy Shine & Black Ivory King music CDs
$10.15
Transmitting from the confines of their studio bunker in Lebanon, Ohio, U.S.A… it’s The Whathaveya!!! Beginning in late-2005, Brian Hoops (vox, guitar), Mike Belodayton (guitar, vox), and W.M. Muthert (drums) joined forces for series of lo-fi recording sessions. The trio threw conventional recording techniques out the window and embarked on a musical journey to reconstruct the rock-n-roll landscape. The end result being a no-compromise record harking back to the DIY days of honest rock-n-roll… Relying on the quirky combination of Hoops' easily “digested like a razorblade” lyrical hooks, Belodayton’s off-kilter guitar, and Muthert's Bonham-like beats, The Whathaveya offer up a diverse collection of ultra-catchy indie-rock gems on their debut effort, Explodes! Here’s what some others have had to say… “Quirky tunes that are like a mish-mash of all sorts into one quirky rock n’ roller coaster ride. If you love Swedish band The Hives then Ohio quartet The Whathaveya might just be for you. Listening to tracks from the band’s debut Explodes! turns out to be quite an experience; it is both very trippy and very raucous. Piecing together lyrics in a weird and wonderful way…”- The LPM Voice: Issue #15“Churning up out of the primordial ooze in the outpost of Lebanon, new outfit The Whathaveya dish out some raw, but melodic, garage/punk recalling Mudhoney, early GBV, and any other trashy, lo-fi band you wanna mention from that era....” -Kyle Melton / The Buddha Den“You know that feeling. That feeling during that split second before everything falls apart. Whatever THAT is called... It goes beyond desperation, but it can be defined as a desperate feeling. ...
