| | Doctor Oakroot Hapless Fool CD Doctor Oakroot Discography of CDs
Hailing from central North Carolina - the home of the piedmont blues, Doctor Oakroot describes his music as "rough-edged songs from a dark place in the soul." Some folks would call it blues, but Oakroot believes that many people have too narrow a definition of blues... and his music is anything but narrow."A song should tell a story," says Oakroot, "and the guitar should support that story - not get in the way." And that's how his live music goes - he sings the story over a supporting guitar part... plain and simple.This CD, Hapless Fool, is a collection of songs, mostly performed as the Doctor performs them live - just voice and guitar - with some little things - e.g., percussion, lead guitar parts - added to sweeten the mix.

Purchase Hapless Fool CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Blues Breakers With Eric Clapton CD (1966) Gold
Hapless Fool album
 $19.10   
John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers: John Mayall (vocals, piano, organ, harmonica); Eric Clapton (vocals, guitar); John McVie (bass); Hughie Flint (drums).
Includes original release liner notes by Neil Slaven & reissue liner notes by Paul Trynka.
1966's BLUESBREAKERS WITH ERIC CLAPTON is full of portent, as some of its participants would become superstars after its release. Future Cream guitarist Eric Clapton was highly rated enough in the UK blues-rock scene to score second billing, but it wasn't until this recording that he'd had the opportunity to truly stretch out in the studio and show off his awesome soloing skills. Clapton's earlier stint in the Yardbirds had found his ...

| | Joe Bonamassa Blues Deluxe CD (2003)
Hapless Fool music CDs
$14.35 
As the electric guitar ace Joe Bonamassa was so strongly inspired by blues and blues-oriented six-stringers (i.e., Clapton, Johnny Winter), many of his fans would politely pester him about doing a disc of blues standards. Originally done as a lark, the results of such a session were deemed by Bonamassa good enough to be released--hence, BLUES DELUXE, on which he covers some lesser-known songs and includes three originals. Of course, his fierce, scorching guitar is center stage. If axe-men ...
| | Stevie Ray Vaughan Solos, Sessions & Encores CD (2007)
Hapless Fool songs
$8.99
Though Texas blues guitar legend Stevie Ray Vaughan will obviously be best remembered for his own catalog, he was a man who liked to spread his talent around. SOLOS, SESSIONS & ENCORES is a collection of archival tracks (most of them previously unreleased) that find the six-string wizard sitting in with everybody from Albert Collins to David Bowie, and generating the kind of excitement that made him the preeminent blues ...
| | B B King Christmas Collection: 20th Century Masters CD (2003) Remastered
Hapless Fool album
$8.35
This edition in Universal's discount-priced compilation series 20th Century Masters/The Christmas Collection is actually a re-titled reissue of the 2001 collection A Christmas Celebration of Hope. It took B.B. King a long time to get around to his first Christmas album, which didn't appear until about half a century into his recording career. It's an adequate, good-humored reprisal of various holiday chestnuts, among them some material with blues/R&B origins, like "Merry Christmas Baby." King wrote just one new song for the album, the instrumental "Christmas Love," though he did originally record another of the tracks, "Christmas Celebration," back in 1960. Wisely he plays "Auld Lang Syne" as a funky instrumental instead of vocalizing the singalong lyrics. In addition to periodic bursts of King's trademark guitar, there is plenty of brass and organ in the peppy arrangements. The Nashville String Machine adds its strings to just three tracks, which cuts down on over-produced excess (which is only a problem on "Please Come Home for Christmas"). It's hardly the first King you'll pull off your shelf, and not the first R&B Christmas album you'll turn to, either, but you could do worse in the holiday season. ~ Richie ...

| | Charley Lincoln Georgia Blues Guitarists CD (2002) Import
Hapless Fool album
$19.39
This disc contains 12 tracks by Charlie Lincoln (who was actually Charley Hicks, the brother of Barbecue Bob Hicks) and ten tracks by the obscure Willie Baker. Both guitarists were from Georgia, both favored open G-tunings, and both tended to approach the guitar like a banjo, using a modified frailing or claw-hammer strum. The similarities between the two can be best appreciated by listening to their versions of "Mama Don't Rush Me," included here back to back, and they are essentially carbon copies of each other, with only the timbre of the vocal differing. This unique-but limiting ...
