Down Beat (p.74) - 3 stars out of 5 - "Coleman delivers the most valuable uncut gem, his funked-up blues 'Jody's Got Your Girl And Gone." Living Blues (pp.60-61) - "DIAMONDS is indeed a gem that proves harp is hangin' in there in Chicago."
Harmonica heaven! This cd is another great one from the fantastic severn rec.This time it´s harmonica that´s on the menu. Six rather unknown harp players share 12 tracks. The popular misconception is that those days are long gone. True giants like Sonny boy and Walter have passed, but if you look a little deeper you´ll find that the legacy lives on.

$18.79 This CD contains B.B. King's first ABC-Paramount studio efforts -- Mr. Blues (1962) and Confessin' the Blues (1965), respectively. While there are inevitable similarities between the projects, offering them back-to-back allows listeners an acute sense of King's rapid maturation and development during what was by all accounts the nexus of the guitarist/vocalist's career. The dozen-song Mr. Blues was a haphazard start for King with the contents taken from three different recording sessions in a 13-month period (March 1, 1962 through April 11, 1963). Based on the results, the artist was being presented as a blues shouter, supported by an antiquated big band and/or orchestra. Arguably the ...
