Legendary Blues: Oh Brother -- Best of Southern Blues is a rather skimpy compilation of ten songs by familiar artists of the genre, including Sonny Boy Williamson, Muddy Waters, and Skip James. Also included are lesser-known tracks by Bessie Tucker ("Penitentiary"), Lucille Hegamin ("Land of Cotton Blues"), and Blind Blake ("Police Dog Blues"). If you stumble across this disc in the bargain bin, pick it up. ~ Al Campbell Legendary Blues: Oh Brother - Best Of Southern Music Legendary Blues: Oh Brother - Best Of Southern Songs Legendary Blues: Oh Brother - Best Of Southern Review

Legendary Blues: Oh Brother - Best Of Southern album
$13.79
For the uninitiated, placing an album like Nashville City Blues in the CD player will be a pleasant surprise. Pleasant because it is a country album that, despite its title, has nothing to do with Nashville, and pleasant because James Talley's approach to country is shot through with the blues. There are no retro-honky tonk songs in sight, and while Talley does wear a hat on the CD cover, it isn't a cowboy hat. The album kicks off with the title cut, a rocking kiss-off to Nashville and all it's cookie-cutter sameness. "I've Seen the Bear" is a long-running narrative with a late-night feel and insightful observations, while "Workin' for Wages" lays down a few honest words about the blue-collar life. "You Can't Get There From Here" and "House Right Down the Road" are fun rockers that give Talley a chance to cut loose with some nice guitar work. A number of songs like "Don't You Feel Low Down" and "If It Wasn't for the Blues" emphasize the "blues" in the album's title. The arrangements throughout Nashville City Blues are pure country, meaning guitar, mandolin, steel, Dobro, and an occasional piano. The instruments blend well together, and the overall production is spare. Talley, who has penned all of the songs, writes intelligent lyrics and has a pleasant singing voice. He remembers and celebrates country music's working-class roots. For fans of "real" country music, Nashville City Blues will be an ear-opening experience, leaving them anxious for upcoming reissues of Talley's ...
| | Jimmy D Lane Legacy CD (1998)
Legendary Blues: Oh Brother - Best Of Southern CD music
$15.79
When your father was the late Chicago blues and Chess Records icon Jimmy Rogers (not to be confused with pioneering country singer Jimmie Rodgers), some would argue that you have a hell of a lot to live up to. But the question "How does Jimmy D. Lane compare to Jimmy Rogers?" is both unrealistic and unfair -- it would be like expecting Ravi Coltrane to accomplish what John Coltrane accomplished, or expecting Hank Williams, Jr. to be another Hank Williams, Sr. Besides, Lane is a fine Chicago bluesman in his own right. With Rogers making a guest appearance on "One Room Country Shack" and Muddy Waters' "Another Mule Kicking in Your Stall," listeners get to hear father and son playing alongside one another. Rogers, who died on December 19, 1997, had only ...

Legendary Blues: Oh Brother - Best Of Southern music CDs
$14.55
Although Bob Fox has been on the Celtic folk scene for over 25 years in groups and as a solo artist, he's only occasionally graced the studio with his presence. Even without a lengthy track record, he brings a sure hand and strong sense of what makes good folk music on Borrowed Moments. Fox has gathered 11 songs from both contemporary and traditional sources, and has tempered them into a cohesive whole. One of the nicest things about Borrowed Moments is the subtle arrangements of guitar (Fox), piano accordion (Anna Ryder), whistles and flutes (Norman Holmes), and double bass (Neil Harland). ...
