| | Holmes Brothers In The Spirit CD Holmes Brothers Discography of CDs
The Holmes Brothers' voices are too potent, their harmonies too smashing, and their love of vintage sounds too immense for them to be content with producer-dominated, softer urban contemporary sounds. This set included some riveting gospel tunes like "None But the Righteous" and "Up Above My Head," plus a credible (if a little lengthy) version of "When Something Is Wrong with My Baby" and the tighter, hard-hitting tunes "Please Don't Hurt Me," "Ask Me No Questions," and "The Final Round." If straight-ahead, rousing shared leads and booming harmonies interest you, the Holmes Brothers do it the way they used to throughout the South in the '60s and '70s. ~ Ron Wynn
The Holmes Brothers: Wendall Holmes (guitar, vocals), Sherman Holmes (bass, vocals), Popsy Dixon (drums, vocals).

The first solo release by contemporary blues-based artist Keb Mo' mixes a reverence for traditional country blues with more streamlined elements of commercial pop. Despite a convincing "down-home" approach of gravel-textured vocals and superior slide work and finger-picking skills, Keb Mo' avoids the pose of a hard line revivalist. Instead, he chooses ...

This live album from Paul Lamb And The King Snakes was originally released within a week of its recording.
Ah, aging British bluesmen, may they bless listeners with their sheer taste and verve for many years to come. British harp duke Paul Lamb is caught here with his mighty King Snakes band tearing down the house in 2002 with a raw, woolly, and wild set. Fronted by the stellar vocalist Earl Green (formerly of Savoy Brown), one of the last truly inspiring blues singers, and Lamb blowing the hell out of his harp, guitarist John Whitehill, bassist (upright as well as electric) Rod Demick, and drummer Sonny Below have the wildness of the late great Red Devils from L.A. and the early Fabulous Thunderbirds combined with that certain understated elegance that makes the British blues so unique and necessary. What's more, rather than doing endless and unnecessary rehashes of blues nuggets from ...
| | Margie Baker And Friends Live At Bach Dancing And Dynamite Society CD (2005)
In The Spirit songs
$24.65
It is assumed that only the best performers reach national recognition, while lesser lights eke out a living in such places as the lounges of hotels. It might be more accurate to say that, good or bad, it is impossible for performers to go nationwide unless they are willing to devote nearly all their time to that pursuit, and that the lounge acts, for reasons of their own, may just be part-timers. Such reflections are inspired by the case of Margie Baker, who combined a full-time life that included a doctorate in education and a career in the San Francisco school district (not to mention raising a family) with moonlighting as a jazz singer at the San Francisco Hilton for a couple of decades and who now, in her "retirement," finally has the time to be a vocalist full-time, resulting in this, her first nationally distributed album, appearing when she is 68. (A locally released disc, Live at Rassalas, came out in 2003.) Certainly, this doesn't sound like your average debut album. Baker clearly is an accomplished, assured performer, very comfortable on-stage and capable of engaging an audience. Those decades at Henri's Room in the S.F. Hilton come through immediately when, after being introduced, she calls out to her audience, "Well, scream louder or do something!" From there on, it's one jazz or traditional R&B standard after another, with Baker singing like a distaff Joe Williams (the influence is particularly noticeable on his signature number, ...
