| | Best Of The Blues CD
A sort of all-over-the-map collection of electric blues, ranging from the ragged swamp stomp of Slim Harpo ("I'm a King Bee") and the furious slide work of Elmore James ("Dust My Broom") to newer fare by Robert Cray ("Back Door Slam"), Taj Mahal ("Blues Ain't Nothin'"), and Britain's John Mayall (who covers Jimmy Reed's "Ain't That Lovin' You Baby"), this set from Sanctuary is fine as far as it goes, but it doesn't have much of a conceptual focus, although that probably doesn't matter much if you've got a case of the blues and you want to rock them away immediately. ~ Steve Leggett

Recorded between 1970 and 1980. Includes liner notes by John McDermott.
Digitally remastered by Suha Gur (Universal Music Group Studios).
Prior to Eric Clapton's pop- and MTV-driven mid-'80s work, he spent the '70s and early '80s playing languid, singer-songwriter soft rock evocative of J.J. Cale and Don Edwards. But Clapton always kept one foot in the blues of his youth. BLUES brings this material together in one place and throughout, Slowhand taps into an inner spirituality ...

Best Of The Blues CD music

SLOW DOWN is a Enhanced CD containing both a full audio program as well as multimedia computer files.
All tracks have been digitally mastered using HDCD technology.
SLOW DOWN won the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album.
Let's dispel a common misconception right off the bat; Keb Mo is not a blues singer. To call him one would be as limiting as calling Lyle Lovett a country singer. He's got his finger in too many musical pies to be tied down to one tradition. As SLOW ...

| | Salif Keita Moffou CD (2002)
Best Of The Blues songs
$10.69 
MOFFOU was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Awards for Best World Music Album.
From the calebasse and accordion intro on MOFFOU's opening song, it is clear that this Salif Keita record is markedly different from past outings by the Malian singer/songwriter. On previous releases, Keita's sound fused African music with European pop and other Western influences, but this album features spare arrangements and a feel that is decidedly rootsy and traditionally West African. Characterized by a quiet intensity and lilting sway, MOFFOU is beautifully realized and executed from beginning to end.
"Yamore" features vocals by Cesaria Evora, whose rich alto nicely complements Keita's high tenor. The sultry feel of the track sets the album's mood, which modulates into Keita's beautiful acoustic guitar playing and singing on the ballad "Iniagige," and, later, into the low-key groove of "Moussolou." Up-tempo dance tracks are here, too, as on the thrilling, group vocal-led "Madan," but the sound is largely acoustic and well served by the absence of synthesizer, which usually drives Keita's faster songs. The carefully arranged acoustic ...

| | Earl Gilliam Texas Doghouse Blues CD (Import) Japan
Best Of The Blues music CDs
$29.99
Texas blues performer Earl Gilliam christened the garage where he performs "the doghouse." TEXAS DOGHOUSE BLUES is a collection of songs he's performed there, including "Brush Those Tears From Your Eyes," "Pretty Little Doll," and "Screaming Hog."
Although he has been a fixture on the Texas blues scene for decades, working with Albert Collins and others, and recorded several singles under his own name for independent labels in the 1950s, as well as appearing on three albums with Joe "Guitar" Hughes in the 1980s, Texas Doghouse Blues is Earl Gilliam's first album as a bandleader. It has all been worth the wait, as Gilliam, working closely with former Duke-Peacock session guitarist I.J. Gosey, has turned in a charming, loose set of jazzy blues shuffles that sound like they could have been recorded at a Sunday afternoon barbecue. Gilliam's voice isn't a strong one (although his shaky, fragile delivery is oddly affecting), and his lyrics tend ...
| | Kevin Welch Millionaire CD (2002)
Best Of The Blues songs
$12.19
Backed by a Copenhagen-based band he dubs the Danes, Kevin Welch rocks out a little more than usual on his fifth album, Millionaire. This unit has mastered the kind of rock shuffle for which the Rolling Stones are known; you get the feeling they could encore with a good version of "Honky Tonk Women." The arrangements make a good basis for Welch's songs, a typically high-quality collection of tunes that reflect ...
