| | Alabama & The East Coast CD
The music on this CD can easily be divided into two. The first ten selections feature the rather limited but mostly interesting singer-guitarist Sonny Scott, whose main skill seems to have been as a lyricist. Scott was accompanying singer Lucille Bogan in 1933 when it was decided to record him as a soloist; guitarist Walter Roland helps out on one song. The remainder of this CD dates from 1937 when the American Record Company went on a field trip to Birmingham, AL to record some of the best local talent. Singer Charlie Campbell fares well on "Pepper Sauce Mama" and "Goin' Away Blues," the strangely billed "Peanut the Kidnapper" (his real name is James Sherrill) does a good impression of Peetie Wheatstraw on four numbers, and both Guitar Slim (George Bedford) and the completely unknown Georgia Slim come across as pretty decent local singer-guitarists. None of the Birmingham performers would ever record again, making one wonder what other fine blues singers and musicians never had the opportunity to document their music for posterity. ~ Scott Yanow Alabama & The East Coast Music Alabama & The East Coast Songs | 1. | Coal Mountain Blues |

| | Robert Kyle Solo Sax # 1 CD (1997)
Alabama & The East Coast
$18.99
Saxophonists must possess utmost confidence and daring to produce albums in which they are the sole performers; for one thing, there's no rhythm section to help keep the tempo and beat. But Robert Kyle has the experience and audacity of a street musician, keenly understanding that attracting people who might throw money into the tenor sax case has an immediate effect on getting enough to eat that night (or getting anything to eat it all). This is Kyle's second album for his Dark Delishious Music label and his playing well fits the label's name. All the cuts are standards, and Kyle treats each as if it's being played for the first time anywhere and by anybody. His dark tenor tones reflect the tradition set by Coleman Hawkins and Lester Young; they are both heard in his playing as one might expect. Like one of his contemporaries, Scott Hamilton, Kyle has not been affected by bop or Coltrane. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Kyle has played with a variety ...
