Named after possibly his most famous song, the 10-track compilation GOODNIGHT IRENE is intended as a brief introduction to the immense output of one of the 20th century's most prolific, influential, and unique artists. Though you most often find Leadbelly's music filed under "blues" in the record store, Huddie Ledbetter's genius was in the way he fused the traditional acoustic Delta blues of his rural Louisiana home with elements of folk, jazz, country, and pop, creating something startlingly new in the process. The title track is for all intents a straight pop song, and the other tracks include scarifying blues ("Where Did You Sleep Last Night?"), folk ballads ("John Hardy"), cowboy songs ("When I Was a Cowboy"), and rollicking originals ("Yellow Gal"), all of which emphasize Leadbelly's amazing range. As always with Rykodisc releases, the sound, liner notes, and packaging are superb.

Of all the early blues singers and players, Robert Johnson towers above all the others. He lived fast, died young, and left a small body of music that laid the groundwork for electric blues as well as rock & roll. Johnson had a unique voice, capable of deep growlings and grumblings and eerie, almost ghostly wails and moans. ...

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). James's erratic recording history makes a representative one-stop compilation ...

Goodnight Irene songs
$8.49
This reissue contains two bonus tracks from the original LP sessions.
Recorded between March 12, 1956 and November 12, 1960. Includes liner notes by Bill Dahl and Dzondria Lalsac.
If you are unfamiliar with Bobby Bland, TWO STEPS FROM THE BLUES is the place to start. The album marked a watershed of creative bursts and commercial recognition for the legendary blues singer. The foundation of TWO STEPS' blues was an uptown Texas blues sound, relying more on sophisticated arrangements, horns, and orchestras than gut-bucket Delta guitar heroics. Inside the lush grooves, Bland moved with restraint, crooning seductively, a tried-and-true ladies man. Which is not to say that Bland is all smooth grooves and sweet nothings. No, his gospel roots rise up like thunderclouds at precise moments, erupting to transform the album's ballads into rattling experiences. The undeniable power of Bland's squalls punctuates "Cry, Cry, Cry" and "I Pity the Fool." His trademark mixture of smoky crooning and strangled outbursts has helped place Bobby Bland alongside the best R&B singers of the century.
Without a doubt, Two Steps From the Blues is the definitive Bobby "Blue" Bland album and one of the great records in electric blues and soul-blues. In fact, it's one of the key albums in modern blues, marking a turning point when juke joint blues were seamlessly blended with gospel and Southern soul, creating a distinctly Southern sound where all of these styles blended so thoroughly it was impossible to tell where one began and one ended. Given his Memphis background, Bobby "Blue" Bland was perfectly suited ...
