 (1 Customer Review)
The eighth volume in the Ace Records highly successful mid-price series based on B.B. King's original Crown LPs with bonus tracks. 'Singin' The Blues' was the very first Crown LP in 1957, and some say the very best (with a cover to match). It is truly a collection of his greatest early hits. The eight bonus tracks (including four previously unissued) are of the same high quality, and feature impeccable vocal and guitar work from B.B., with accompaniment by the Maxwell Davis Orchestra. 2005.

This CD contains B.B. King's first ABC-Paramount studio efforts -- Mr. Blues (1962) and Confessin' the Blues (1965), respectively. While there are inevitable similarities between the projects, offering them back-to-back allows listeners an acute sense of King's rapid maturation and development during what was by all accounts the nexus of the guitarist/vocalist's career. The dozen-song Mr. Blues was a haphazard start for King with the contents taken from three different recording sessions in a 13-month period (March 1, 1962 through April 11, 1963). Based on the results, the artist was being presented as a blues shouter, supported by an antiquated big band and/or orchestra. Arguably the best of the lot comes from the Maxwell Davis led ensemble on the first of several Big Joe Turner tunes, ...

Singin' The Blues album
$12.55
Recorded in 1960, THE BLUES was one of the last albums B.B. King cut for the Crown label before moving to ABC-Paramount. The record has a loose, roadhouse vibe and features King backed by a full band, including horns, piano, harmonica, and a thumping rhythm section. At the heart of the set are, of course, King's stinging, soulful leads and his passionate vocals, serving up instant classics like "Why Does Everything Happen to Me" and "When My Heart Beats Like a Hammer." The album is distinguished by a raw, ragged feel, which proves refreshing in light of the artist's subsequent slicker recordings.
Originally released in 1958 by the budget-priced Crown label, The Blues collected a dozen sides B.B. King cut for RPM and Kent between 1951 and 1958. (RPM and Kent were owned by the Bahari Brothers who also ran Crown, which explains how one of the true prestige artists of the blues ended up on such a notoriously cheap-o label.) As was often the case with Crown's product, The Blues used ...

Three cheers to Ace Records for reissuing B.B. King's Crown, Kent, and Ember sides as albums with original artwork, remastered sound, and plenty of bonus tracks. King of the Blues was B.B.'s sixth album for the Bihari Brothers on Crown, issued at a budget price, and his second full-length outing of 1960 after coming off his chart-topping "Sweet Little Sixteen" single earlier in the year. The set opens with the B-side of that single, "I've Got a Right to Love My Baby," and also includes "Partin' Time," a number eight charter as well. "I'm King" is B.B. at his boasting best; his modern style that crosses rock & roll and R&B with the jump blues is fully developed here, and his consistency from track to track during those crazy days is remarkable. In addition, there are ten bonus tracks (making the CD double length), including tunes from the early to mid-'60s such as "Tell Me Baby," "3 O'Clock Blues," "Million Years Blues," and an obscure remixed track from 1962 (issued as a single in 1970 on Kent) called "Worried ...
| | Butterbeans & Susie Complete Recorded Works, Vol. 2 (1926-1927) CD (1997)
Singin' The Blues music CDs
$13.25
In 1997 the Viennese Document label reissued the first 48 Okeh recordings made during the 1920s by the archetypal "Ma and Pa Vaudeville" blues duo Butterbeans & Susie. Since this came out at a time when Document was stubbornly refusing to employ noise reduction technology, sound quality varies from pretty good to good. Volume two covers the time period between March 1926 and September 1927. Most of these humorous numbers toy around with marital discord, often resorting to violent imagery that might seem startling even if it can be found in most every musical genre from Italian opera to hip-hop. What these songs speak to is the endless play between egos that characterize most human relationships, an interpersonal tug o' war that they manage to send up with a brusque and earthy humor that can and will grow on you. If Jodie "Butterbeans" Edwards' colorfully abusive threats raise a few eyebrows (especially during "Your Folks Will Start Wearing Black"), Susie Hawthorne seems to maintain the upper hand, especially with language like "You're a No 'Count Triflin' Man," "Let the Doorknob Hit You in the Back," "Daddy's Got the Mojo, But I Got the Say-So," and the very precise "Love Me and the World is Mine (Hit Me and the Jail is Yours)." Although most of these recordings were made in New York City, on June 18, 1926 Butterbeans & Susie cut two sides in Chicago; Lovie Austin ...
