Modern Chicago harp master Billy Branch and fellow Windy City guitarist Carlos Johnson team up for Don't Mess With the Bluesmen, an easygoing session recorded in Chicago between 2003 and 2004 for the Japanese P-Vine label. Alongside spirited cover versions of Jimmy Reed's "Going to New York" and a rhumba-inflected "My Babe," the originals "Blues After the Rain," "Running from the Devil," and "Cognac for Breakfast" put Branch's soulful harp at center stage where it belongs. However, the lukewarm takes of George and Ira Gershwin's "Summertime," Johnny "Guitar" Watson's "Real Mother for Ya," and Albert King's "Don't Throw Your Love On Me So Strong" prove to be a bit too slick, as is the Johnson/Branch ballad "Hello There." The production may be too polished for purists, but fans of contemporary blues should check it out. ~ Al Campbell

Recording information: Paragon Recording Studio (06/2003-01/2004).

Personnel: Billy Branch (vocals, harmonica, background vocals); Carlos Johnson (vocals, guitar); Brady Williams, Linard Stroud (drums).

Liner Note Authors: Hiroshi "Edogawa Slim" Takahashi; Billy Branch; Carlos Johnson.

Allman Brothers Band Dreams CDs  (1989) Box Set

Don't Mess With The Bluesmen album
CD $38.09  4.5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
DREAMS is a 4-CD box set compiling in chronological order tracks by the Allman Brothers Band, as well as tracks by bands featuring one or more member of the Allman Brothers Band and solo performances by Gregg Allman and Dickey Betts. Recorded between 1966 & 1988. Includes a 32-page illustrated booklet and liner notes by John Swenson. Like nearly all box sets, DREAMS has plenty to recommend it-and a few nagging drawbacks. The set's chief shortcoming is its two conflicting goals: providing an overview of the Allmans' history, thus attracting buyers seeking the ultimate hits package, and including enough unreleased tracks and rarities ...

Howlin Wolf London Howlin' Wolf Sessions: Deluxe Edition CDs  (1971) Bonus Tracks; Remastered; Deluxe Edition; Digipak

Don't Mess With The Bluesmen CD music
CD $19.59  5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
Digitally remastered by Doug Schwartz (MCA Studios, North Hollywood, California). The Masterdisc version of LONDON SESSIONS contains 3 bonus tracks from Howlin' Wolf's 1974 release, MUDDY AND THE WOLF, LONDON REVISITED. This deluxe edition contains newly remixed bonus tracks from LONDON REVISTED, and previously unreleased remixes from the original session tapes. For the casual blues fan with a scant knowledge of the Wolf, this 1971 pairing, with Eric Clapton, Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts from the Rolling Stones, Ringo Starr, and other British superstars, appears on the surface to be one hell of a super session. Although that's not really the case, it's nowhere near as awful as some blues purists make it out to be. ~ Cub Koda For the casual blues ...

Dave Specter Is What It Is CD  (2004)

Don't Mess With The Bluesmen music CDs
CD $12.59  5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
The long established musical relationship between guitarists Dave Specter and Steve Freund goes back nearly 20 years, when Specter sought out Freund as a guitar teacher. They have shared many stages, but this marks the first occasion that they have recorded together. In the best of the Chicago blues tradition as illustrated by the legendary Delmark label, Is What It Is is a loose, swinging, tough blues date filled with great tunes, inspired playing and loose-groove vibes. While Specter has become well-known for his jazzy blues playing, his former teacher Freund has stayed close to the roots of the Chicago sound. That contrast works beautifully here on both covers and originals. Freund's tunes are some of the bets on the set as evidenced ...
