Recorded in 1961 for Prestige, a label best known for jazz, BLUES IN MY BOTTLE presents Sam "Lightnin'" Hopkins in a strictly solo setting. Armed with only his plaintive vocals and an acoustic guitar, Hopkins gets to the very heart of the blues, his unadorned style placing nuance and emotion above volume and precision. Every song on this 11-track album--particularly the lonely "Sail On, Little Girl, Sail On," the bleak "Death Bells," and the resigned "Jailhouse Blues"--is a testament to the strength of Hopkins's playing in such a minimal and informal environment.
Although the Texas bluesman was just shy of 50 during these sessions, his world-weary voice makes him seem much older, lending an added gravity to these tales of life, love, travel, and isolation. Those looking for a direct link between Hopkins and his legendary predecessors Blind Lemon Jefferson and Robert Johnson will find it on this potent outing of top-notch country blues.
All tracks have been digitally remastered.

Blues In My Bottle album
$14.69
Like John Lee Hooker, Memphis Slim was very much a label-hopper -- from the '40s to the '80s, it was safe to assume that the singer/pianist wouldn't stay at one label for too long. In the '50s, Slim did some of his best work for United, a Chicago-based indie whose catalog has since been acquired by Delmark (another Windy City label). Slim's United period of 1952-1954 is the focus of The Come Back, a 20-track collection that Delmark assembled in 2002. This is a blues CD that has both jazz and rock appeal. Slim, like Jimmy Witherspoon and T-Bone Walker, was always a very jazz-influenced bluesman -- his love of jazz comes through on vocal gems like "Call Before You Go Home" and "5 O'Clock Blues" as well as free-spirited, improvisation-minded instrumentals that include a previously unreleased performance of Arnett Cobb's "Smooth Sailin'." The jazz influence ...

| | Ezra Weiss Five A.M. Strut CD (2003)
Blues In My Bottle CD music
$14.29
Ideally, jazz should accommodate innovators as well as traditionalists. There is room for avant-garde explorers who push the envelope (Ivo Perelman, Henry Threadgill, Dave Douglas) and there is also room for a swing-to-bop traditionalist like Scott Hamilton (who was never cutting-edge but is damn good at what he does). The Five A.M. Strut, Ezra Weiss' first album as a leader, won't go down in history as the most innovative or forward-thinking debut of the early 2000s; much of his hard bop and post-bop material could have been written 40 years earlier. Throughout the album, the acoustic pianist is quite mindful of the '60s -- especially the classic Blue Note recordings of Horace Silver and Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. But if Weiss is determined to be a traditionalist, his goal should be to provide quality traditionalism -- and The Five A.M. Strut is a solid debut for this Portland, OR, resident, who was only 23 when he co-produced this CD with bassist Leon Lee Dorsey in New York in October 2002. This sextet date shows Weiss to be a triple threat; ...
| | Lynyrd Skynyrd Southern By The Grace Of God CD (1988) Import; Live
Blues In My Bottle music CDs
$14.29
To commemorate the 10th anniversary of the tragic plane crash that took the lives of Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines, Cassie Gaines, and Dean Killpatrick, Lynyrd Skynyrd regrouped for a very successful reunion tour in 1987. Such special guests as Steve Morse and Charlie Daniels (as well as Johnny Van Zandt filling in for his late brother, Ronnie), joined such Skynyrd veterans as Artimus Pyle, Bill Powell, Leon Wilkeson, and Gary Rossington, which is all captured on 1988's SOUTHERN BY THE GRACE OF GOD. While SOUTHERN is not on par with the original Skynyrd concert classic, ONE MORE FROM THE ROAD, it is a fun collection nonetheless--you can't go wrong with such FM radio staples as "That Smell," "What's Your Name," "Gimme Back My Bullets," "Sweet Home Alabama," and "Freebird."
Recorded at Omega Audio & Productions and Reunion Arena, ...
