| | Going Down South Blues Sampler, Vol. 2 CD
Although it is intended as a sampler of various Inside Sounds releases, Going Down South Blues Sampler, Vol. 2 works as a well-selected sequence of contemporary Southern blues, ranging from stripped-down, raggedly funky folk pieces from the delightful Jessie Mae Hemphill ("Chicken and Gravy," "Lord, Help the Poor and Needy") to Doc Tomato's blistering electric assault on "I've Kissed My Last Ass." None of it is by the numbers or run of the mill, and it shows the blues to be alive and well, in spite of claims to the contrary. ~ Steve Leggett
Goin' Down South Blues Sampler Vol. 2 is the follow-up to the critically acclaimed Inside Sounds release Goin' Down South Blues Sampler, a collection of Mid-South blues artists. Opening with Robert Belfour's "Old Black Mattie," Vol. 2 is a comprehensive blues journey from the stark sounds of the Mississippi Delta to the electric blues of Beale Street. Most of the 17 tracks have never been released before and represent the heart and soul of Memphis blues. Phill Durham, from the legendary Memphis band Molloch, is heard on this CD for the first time as a solo artist. Rare performances from Big Lucky Carter, Mose Vinson, and Willie Foster are also included. The 6-page booklet includes artist descriptions along with contact information. Produced by Billy Gibson and Eddie Dattel. Going Down South Blues Sampler, Vol. 2 Music Going Down South Blues Sampler, Vol. 2 Songs | 1. | Old Black Mattie - Robert Belfour |

| | Brad Paisley American Saturday Night CD (2009)
Going Down South Blues Sampler, Vol. 2
$10.95 
Audio Remasterer: Hank Williams.
An American saturday night is not an unusual topic for a country song but Brad Paisley's celebration is. Paisley sees a typical weekend night as a cultural collision of French kisses, Italian Ices, Canadian bacon and margaritas, a place where Mexican and Dutch beers chill side by side in a bucket of ice. If he leans too heavily on labels, referring to those beers by brand name, it's merely a reflection of Paisley's uncanny knack for capturing the casual contemporary details of American life at the tail end of the 2000s. It's not just the pile up of iPhones and international video chats on "Welcome to the Future," the first country anthem of the Obama era, it's how he'll pick up prescription for his girl and flips macho stereotypes on their head on "The Pants." He's a thoroughly modern man and that attitude helps invigorate his traditional country, a sensibility that's welcome on AMERICAN SATURDAY NIGHT. The album veers toward the mellow despite its rollicking title track, the breakneck "Catch all the Fish" and the odd burst incongruous gurgling synth. On the whole, the disc is one of his dreamier albums, filled with swaying slow dances, sweet love tunes and the occasional brokenhearted blues, all delivered with a worn-in ease. Paisley prevents things from getting too relaxed by juxtaposing his every-guy vocals with spitfire guitar, something that gooses even the sleepiest tempos, just like how he spikes his party tunes with sly humor. He never lets things get too serious or too maudlin, he cracks jokes at himself and his friends, he lets everybody into his Saturday night party, because he knows that what makes an American party - and what makes America - is how all the best things wash up on the US shores.
