Recorded in Hollywood in 1952. All selections previously unreleased except "Cornbread and Cabbage Greens." Includes liner notes by compilation producer Billy Vera.
Digitally remastered by Kirk Felton (1991, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley).
Los Angeles was a mecca for honking, wailing R&B tenor saxmen during the 1950s, and Joe Houston was one of the wildest in town. Twenty-six blasting workouts from the early-to-mid-'50s mark this CD as the best digital indication of Houston's sax-sational wailing now available (pretty much the only vintage one on the shelves, in fact). "All Night Long," "Celebrity Club Drag," and "Rockin' and Boppin'" are among the highlights, taken from the archives of John Dolphin's Recorded in Hollywood and Cash labels. ~ Bill DahlDown Beat (11/92, p.50) - 3 Stars - Good - "..[Houston's] tirless wailing can still send shivers down your spine...This was the raw, unbound voice of youth breaking the chains of fashion and custom, doing in the black community what Elvis would soon do in the white.."

Although Robert "Barbecue Bob" Hicks recorded over 65 extant sides (three are not known to have survived) in a three-year stretch starting in 1927 up to his death in 1931, the 20 collected here make a perfect introduction to the work of this Atlanta-based artist. He may have played a big-city acoustic 12-string guitar, but Hicks' playing was ...

Rhino's superlative Elmore James retrospective is essential, not only because it brings together 21 of the artist's finest sides, but because it collects those tracks from various periods (1951-1969) and labels (Trumpet, Chess, Flair, Fire, Chief, and Flashback). ...

Cornbread And Cabbage Greens album
$12.39
There's a buzz on the Agnostics. Did they expect it? Hell, no. After all, the band was thrown together on a week's notice for their inaugural gig. St. Hubert, their 2003 debut recording, was self-financed, self-produced, and self-released. Yet it cracked numerous Canadian campus radio top 20 play lists, got them invited to roots music festivals, was spotlighted on several CBC radio shows, garnered them an appearance on Much Music despite that they didn't fit the demographic audience's tastes, was nominated for a Western Canadian Music Award, and, in the end, gave them the incentive to record a follow-up, Fighting and Onions. The Delta blues and mountain music still kicks something fierce, just like the people who invented them, but the styles get warped in a way that bucks at conservative traditionalism or quaint stereotypes. Slide guitar and banjo collide with a clanging drum kit and weighty stand-up bass. Devil's music? Sure…if the Agnostics believed in that mumbo-jumbo…maybe. It's two years since St. Hubert. They're two years better as a band. Fighting and Onions was recorded in their rehearsal space during a harsh cold snap that ushered in 2005. Though there are a few more overdubs than their debut, the quartet recorded in the same room at the same time, like a good band should. At least half of the session's 18 songs are strictly live performances mixed through ambient room microphones. The brooding interpretation of Reverend Gary Davis' "Death Don't Have No Mercy" or the may-as-well-be-a-hardcore-band rendition of Son House's "Preaching Blues" display exactly what went down in the room. No embellishments. Understand? What you hear is the energy of a band playing, not a producer cutting and pasting. If musicians in the 1930s could pull off that kind of recording, then what is the excuse for many of today's musicians coddled by studio technology? Is Fighting and Onions pristine? No. Big deal. That isn't the point. There's no doubting the intensity, emotion and, at times, weirdness on originals like "Oh Sorrow" and "Lousy Drunk". As much as the likes of Dock Boggs and Skip James are mentioned as ingredients in the AMGC sound, Judd Palmer's unusually tuned guitar and banjo, Jay Woolley's unorthodox drum kit outfitted with metal implements, ...

The most diversified and exciting CD Toby Walker has ever produced! With special guests Bob Margolin (Muddy Waters Blues Band), Ernie Sykes (Bill Monroe's Bluegrass Boys) and many other guest artists, Walker shows off a range styles including down home blues, swing and roots music.

Cornbread And Cabbage Greens songs
$16.45
Shaheed ShabazzIf Muddy Waters & Kanye West started a band…“Every Saturday morning my mother would clean our apartment blasting Stevie Wonder, Bill Withers, EW&F, and Motown.” That’s where it all started. After playing trumpet for a few years, and wanting a drum set, Shaheed ended up a guitar in his hands at the age of 10. “My uncle left Jimi Hendrix’s Crash Landing and Albert King’s Laundromat Blues in my room, and I was hooked on the blues.” In 1988, rap group Public Enemy released, “It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back”. That started Shaheed listening to and thinking about music production. Eight years later Shaheed opened Liontraks Recording Studio in Union City NJ, engineering, producing and/or playing guitar on up to 75 projects a year. “Owning a studio is wild” Shaheed Says “you could create hip hop tracks for local artists in the morning, engineer a ...
