Smokin Joe Kubek Bite Me! CD (2000)

Extended Versions album

$14.55

Guitarist Smokin' Joe Kubek and his partner, singer-guitarist Bnois King, were signed to Bullseye Blues just after the bubble burst on the crossover appeal of electric Texas blues, with the breakup of the Fabulous Thunderbirds and the death of Stevie Ray Vaughan in 1990. While the label may have hoped they would fill those shoes, Kubek and King have never, in seven albums, really made much of a move to the mainstream, remaining content to turn out faithful recreations of Texas-style blues. On their first few albums, they recorded a lot of covers, while their most recent efforts have consisted entirely of band originals, which is also the case on Bite Me! But the musical structures are so familiar that the songwriting credits are only nominal; Kubek and King are more about playing than writing. They work in the occasional novelty, such as the "talkbox" Kubek sucks on in the opening track, "If You Know What I'm Sayin'," but King makes the players' fidelity clear in the lyrics -- "you know what the blues is about." They do, and they perform it as well here as they ever have. ~ William Ruhlmann Recorded at Pedernales Recording, Pedernales, Texas. Personnel: Smokin' Joe Kubek (acoustic guitar, electric guitar, slide guitar, grand piano); Bnois King (vocals, electric guitar); Mark ...

Buddy Miles Blues Berries CD (2002) (Import) Germany

Extended Versions CD music

$9.49

Buddy Miles has never been an easy artist to categorize. Is he is a rocker, a bluesman, or a soulster? Truth be told, he is all of those things rolled into one; over the years, his work has been influenced by everyone from Jimi Hendrix to Muddy Waters to James Brown and Sly Stone. Recorded in Texas in 2000, Blues Berries is primarily an album of blues-rock with soul and funk references. Miles was 53 at the time, and the veteran singer/drummer is very much on top of his game on sweaty offerings like "Bayou Delta," "Compassion for the Blues," and "Texas Cannonball" (an ode to the late Freddie King). The impressive band that Miles leads, the Blues Berries, is quite mindful of the Texas blues and blues-rock traditions -- fans of King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Albert Collins, and Johnny Winter should have no problem getting into either the original material or an inspired performance of the standard "Tobacco Road." But at the same time, Miles and the Blues Berries do not escape the influence of Chicago blues. The soul elements are especially strong on "Come on Back," which combines rock with a strong appreciation of Otis Redding, Wilson Picket, and the Stax Records/Southern soul sound of the '60s. Back in the '60s, "Come on Back" probably would have been too rock-minded for most R&B stations in the U.S. -- even so, it's a great soul/rock track that recalls a time when a lot of Ike and Tina Turner and Sly & the Family Stone fans were also Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix fans. Blues Berries is not recommended to blues ...

Fabulous Thunderbirds Tacos Deluxe CD (2003)

Extended Versions music CDs

$13.35

Although on the short side at 13 tracks and just under 40 minutes, this remains a good collection of some of the Texas band's best work for the Chrysalis label. Most of these sides have already appeared on the well-chosen but unfortunately deleted The Essential Fabulous Thunderbirds. So if you already own that -- or most of their first four albums -- it's up to you whether to spring for this because it includes two previously unreleased live performances (in marginal fidelity) and a few alternate versions. The T-Birds' live take of Otis Rush's "I Can't Quit You Baby" absolutely smokes, with Jimmie Vaughan turning in a stunning solo, and the concert version of "Wait on Time" is also quite lively. Still, unless you're a die-hard fan, there's too much redundancy here. Plus, this really should be ...

Kenny Wayne Shepherd 10 Days Out... Blues From The Backroad CD (2007) With DVD

Extended Versions CD music

$21.29

Shepherd's reverence for his musical roots are centerstage on this CD/DVD package featuring the guitarslinger with rhythm section of bassist Tommy Shannon and drumer Chris slayton performing with some of the greatest blues players of our time as well as lesser-known but historically significant bluesmen. Traveling to their hometowns to record everywhere from juke joints to front porches, from New Orleans to Kansas, Shepherd celebrates and becomes part of blues history. More than a mere live album, this collection of impromptu performances, recorded at both established venues and in kitchens and on front porches throughout the American South, captures a rapidly vanishing generation of bluesmen and women singing and playing with the blues musician Kenny Wayne Shepherd and his Double Trouble rhythm section. Featuring well-known artists such as B.B. King and Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown, as well as lesser-known performers such as Wild Child Butler and Cootie Stark, this combination CD and DVD is both a tribute to and a record of the musicians who influenced Shepherd, and a chance to observe the art form that laid the foundations for much of modern music. Often supported only by Shepherd's acoustic guitar, artists of the caliber of Cootie Stark, whose "Prison Blues" is a highlight, and the pianist Pinetop Perkins, whose "Grindin' Man" is accompanied ...
