If the music on this little slab wasn't so utterly hot, this would have been merely a novelty record. The Four Kings in the title refer to, of course, B.B. Albert, and Freddie King (the last two were brothers), and the fourth ascendant to the throne, who is perhaps lesser known except by blues aficionados, but is well-known to soul music fans, ...

For many years, there were only the official Boston albums in the group's catalog. Unlike many bands, they held out recycling their work in a series of budget-line collections, granting only a two-fer release of their first two albums, Boston and Don't Look Back, in 1983. Things changed once Greatest Hits was released in 1997, since its release guaranteed the eventual appearance of records like Sony Music Special Products' Rock and Roll Band, a 1998 budget-line compilation of highlights from the first two albums that was in turn licensed by Collectables Records and reissued under the name More than a Feeling in 2002 as part of its Priceless ...

Paramount Blues Ladies
$13.25 
Pittsburgh is known as a spawning ground for prominent jazz artists. While many left to try their hand in New York City or the recording studios of Hollywood and Los Angeles, some stayed behind to keep the jazz flame burning brightly. Hammond B3 master and Jimmy Smith disciple Gene Ludwig is one of those who remained keeping the flame lit with his burning organ play. Working within a rather uncommon trio configuration of organ, guitar, and drums, Ludwig, with help from his friends, applies that special jazz/blues/soul sound only the Hammond can create, to a mixed play list of ten tunes. The listener gets a good feel for the shape this session will take from the album's opening cut -- a spicy, down-home "Chitlins con Carne" which lays the foundation for the passionate playing that characterizes this CD. Bob DeVos' medium-amped guitar shares the spotlight with Ludwig on this cut, as well as on several others. As much as any instrument and more than most, the Hammond gives the impression ...

James Blood Ulmer has been on a something of a roll since the late '90s, after reuniting with longtime cohort Charlie Burnham and delving into the blues. The two Vernon Reid-produced blues albums were among the best of his career, with Ulmer adding his harmolodic shadings to classics from the blues canon. The 52nd Street Blues Project is a stripped-down offshoot of those albums, but they operate as a band instead of simply supporting Ulmer. Along with Ulmer and Burnham are Blood's rhythm section -- Aubrey Dayle (drums) and Mark Peterson (bass) -- and vocalist Queen Esther, all veterans of Blood's blues albums. But here everyone but Dayle contributes to the songwriting instead of working covers, simultaneously updating the tradition and reaching back to prewar blues archetypes. "My Favorite Thing" is just Ulmer solo -- voice and guitar (as is "Where Do All the Girls Come From?") -- and evokes the primal blues of early John Lee Hooker sides. Queen Esther is up next, accompanied only by Mark Peterson on "You Lied," an infectious, swinging number whose themes are the essence of the blues but addressed with the fresh perspective of a blues poet rather than the same tired blues clichés. Queen Esther's got a strong, soulful voice and impeccable phrasing, which is supported perfectly by Peterson's swinging bassline. Then it's time for "Recess," a droning blues march with fantastic violin from Charlie Burnham that stands alongside great Ulmer instrumentals like "Love Dance" from Odyssey. Burnham is amazing here, an expressive modal workout with slippery harmonics and a snaky down-home feel. Ulmer takes vocals with the full band for "My Prayer," then hands them back to Queen Esther for "Queen Esther's Blues." Burnham gets the spotlight again for "Watermark," another slinky instrumental with just violin and bass, then takes a rare vocal turn on "Papa Don't Know," where he switches to mandolin and sings with a sweet voice. And check out his other solos, like on "I'm Goin'" or the funny quote in "Sunnyland" -- the man just shines. Even Peterson gets a solo shot on "A Miniature of the Bass." But as great as it is, Ulmer fans have heard much of this music before; the real revelation on this album is Queen Esther, whose uplifting songs and great singing are definite highlights on a consistently strong album. Just see if you can get "Sunnyland" or "I'm Goin'" out of your head at the end of the disc. Blues & Grass is a great album from ...
