When the story of the early-'60s folk revival in Greenwich Village is told, people like Bob Dylan and Phil Ochs get lots of attention, but even more important to that scene was Dave Van Ronk. The singer/guitarist blazed a trail for young upstarts like Dylan and Ochs to follow, and decades later, has proved to be a more consistent and prolific recording artist than any of his '60s compatriots.
This album features some of Van Ronk's earliest recordings ('59-'61) for the legendary Folkways label. Though he was still developing, the key elements of his sound were already in place. On traditional blues and folk tunes like "Duncan and Brady" and "Come Back Baby" Van Ronk's gritty field holler and virtuoso finger-picking are strikingly distinctive. He sounds like he was born singing these songs, and it's easy to see why he held such sway with the early folk crowd.

Folkways Years 1959-61 album

In late 1999, the Dutch label KonKurrent invited Minneapolis band Low into an in-house studio to record one of the label's near-legendary In the Fishtank sessions; bands have two days to record between 20-30 minutes of all new material of their choosing. Also touring at the time were Low's pals, the Australian instrumental dynamos the Dirty Three. Low invited them in, and in the same collaborative spirit as another In the Fishtank session involving Tortoise and the Ex, this half-hour session is the document. What is truly amazing about this hookup ...
| | Harold Mabern Few Miles From Memphis CD (1968)
Folkways Years 1959-61 CD music
$14.15
On A Few Miles from Memphis, recorded by pianist Harold Mabern in 1968, he's joined by tenors George Coleman and Buddy Terry, bassist Bill Lee, and drummer Walter Perkins for a bluesy, rhythm-filled set featuring familiar fare like "A Treat for Bea" and fun originals like "Walkin' Back." There's also the odd inclusion of "There's a Kind of Hush," a pop song that comes out sounding like an old standard here. ~ Ronnie D. Lankford Jr.
When record labels like Prestige release two albums on one CD, it's a great bargain for music fans. A Few Miles from Memphis combines ...
| | Ike & Tina Turner Nutbush City Limits/Feel Good CD (2006) Bonus Tracks
Folkways Years 1959-61 music CDs
$17.75
Raven's 2006 two-fer Nutbush City Limits/Feel Good combines two of Ike & Tina Turner's last albums together and adds five bonus tracks, three of which were taken from other Ike & Tina albums from the early '70s, one taken from a Tina solo record, and one disco mix of "Nutbush City Limits." The album that arrives first on this two-fer was actually the last of these two to be released: Nutbush City Limits appeared in 1973, a year after Feel Good, but its title track is one of Ike & Tina's best-known songs so it's an appropriate choice to kick off this disc. Besides, the two records are so similar in tone and approach, it'd be easy to ...
