ALRIGHT AGAIN! won the 1982 Grammy Award for Best Traditional Blues Recording.
ALRIGHT AGAIN! is one of roots music wizard Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown's finest moments. The 1982 Grammy-winning album finds Brown honing his particular melange of traditional blues, swing, jump, jazz, and country flavors to a punchy, sophisticated edge with the help of a 10-piece R&B big band. Impeccably tight, hard driving arrangements are propelled by a powerhouse rhythm section, while the cadre of five horns lends thick punctuation to Brown's throaty, no nonsense vocals, slashing guitar leads, and wild violin, notably on "Baby Take it Easy."
As usual, there's equal emphasis on originals and covers, as the album kicks off with tasty jump blues nods to two of Brown's kindred spirits, Albert Collins ("Frosty") and T Bone Walker ("Strollin' With Bones"). Elsewhere, Junior Parker's "I Feel Alright Again" is given a swinging treatment, and Percy Mayfield's "Give Me Time to Explain" is laid down with an uptempo walking groove. Brown's own songs, including the languid slow blues "Sometimes I Slip" and the funky "Dollar Got the Blues" display plenty of his six-string mastery, and the band sounds fresh and vital. ALRIGHT AGAIN! is a definitive document of American music performed by one of its most talented and versatile exponents.
Recorded at Studio In The Country, Bogalusa, Louisiana from June 2-8, 1981. Includes liner notes by Yorke Corbin.
Personnel: Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown (vocals, guitar, violin); Bill "Foots" Samuel (alto & tenor saxophones); Alvin "Red" Tyler (tenor saxophone); Joe "Champanski" Sunseri (baritone saxophone); Stanton Davis, Jr. (trumpet); Jim McMillen (trombone); David "Fingers" Fender (piano, organ); Larry Sieberth (piano); Red Lane, Myron Dove (bass); Lloyd Herman (drums).

Alright Again! album
$9.65 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 is how natural these two bands sound playing with one another. Low has been striking out lately, playing different kinds of material while keeping its signature slower-than-slow approach to songwriting. The Dirty Three has taken a more melodic and dynamically restrained tack since their landmark Ocean Songs recording of a few years back. Of the six songs ...
| | Doors Live At The Aquarius Theatre: The First Performance CDs (2001)
Alright Again! CD music
$28.09 From the Doors' own Bright Midnight Records comes this double-disc package featuring the first of two sets performed on July 21, 1969, at the Aquarius Theater in Hollywood. The evening was billed as " Elektra Records Showcase Concert Series Presents..." and, as lead vocalist Jim Morrison announces at the outset, these homecoming performances were done for the express purpose of gathering material for a live album. Indeed, this was only the fifth concert appearance that the Doors had been able to secure in the wake of what is referred to as "the Miami incident." While at times pensive, the band members ultimately rise to the occasion as they wind through a set of hits and fan favorites, as well as a few compositions that would have been previously unheard by this audience. The set begins with little fanfare and the virtual absence ...
| | Doors Live At The Aquarius Theater-The Second Performance CDs (2001)
Alright Again! music CDs
$28.15 As the title suggests, this set contains the second of two complete shows from the Doors at the Aquarius Theater in Hollywood, July 21, 1969. Both were professionally documented, anticipating enough material for a stopgap concert album as the band simultaneously composed and arranged new sides for their subsequent Morrison Hotel and LA Woman studio releases. With over three decades under the bridge and the blessings of the surviving bandmembers, Live at the Aquarius Theater: The Second Performance provides a real-time recreation of the entire two-and-a-quarter-hour performance from the sonically superior multi-track tapes. Initially the interaction between the band and audience ...
| | Ike & Tina Turner Nutbush City Limits/Feel Good CD (2006) Bonus Tracks
Alright Again! songs
$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 assume that Feel Good arrived before Nutbush, but that isn't to say they're interchangeable. Both records are hard day-glo funk, overloaded with fuzz guitars, wah wahs, clavinets and horn sections, but of the two, Nutbush City Limits is a bit closer to gritty deep soul thanks to a slow-burning cover of Dobie Gray's country-soul classic "Drift Away," the gospel-fied "That's My Purpose," a churning, funky reworking of "You ...
| | Raga For Peter Walker CD (2006) Digipak
Alright Again! album
$10.09 Many of the legends of acoustic guitar in the 20th century have already passed on -- John Fahey, Robbie Basho, Ali Farka Toure. Due partially to his spare recording career, Peter Walker's own reputation has not always been as well known as those of said giants, but his own influence has been considerable. A Raga for Peter Walker -- a tribute album that, in a nice touch, not only consists of work composed by its contributors rather than simply offering up covers but also features some original work by its subject in question -- helps ...

| | Roches Can We Go Home Now CD (1995)
Alright Again! music CDs
$10.69 This 1995 release found the Roches on a new label. They took the opportunity to deliver one of the finest albums of their career, one filled with songs that evoke a world-weariness. The spare accompaniment the Roches receive here is what has always served them best. All three sisters contributed individually penned songs, and all come through with some magic. Maggie's title song and Suzzy's "Home Away From Home" both touch on themes of home and belonging, while Terre's "Christlike" tempers the proceedings with an eloquently disenfranchised bit of romantic cynicism. While they've explored these subjects before, on CAN WE GO HOME NOW it is done with a deeper sense of loss, hope, and faith. This album ...
