| | An Introduction To Jimmy Reed CD Jimmy Reed Discography of CDs
This 2006 collection stays fairly true to its title, offering not a greatest-hits set, but rather a fine basic sampling of Jimmy Reed's amiable version of the Chicago electric blues tradition. While Reed classics such as "Baby, What You Want Me to Do" and "Bright Lights, Big City" are missed, the 16-track collection compensates somewhat with the steady-rocking "Big Boss Man" and the swaggering "Shame, Shame, Shame," two numbers that exemplify Reed's no-frills guitar work and easy-going demeanor.

Today the most recognition the Animals get is "House of the Rising Sun" being played on oldies radio, but in the mid-1960s they were a powerful part of the British Invasion, often reckoned on a par with the Beatles, the Stones, and the Who. Like those bands, the Animals had strong roots in blues and R&B, but, in their original incarnation, they stayed closer to those roots than their peers did. This definitive compilation, masterfully assembled by the ABKCO think tank of Teri Landi and Jody Klein, shows the tough, uncompromising use to which the Animals put their American influences. John Lee Hooker's "Boom Boom" is recast as a raw garage rocker glazed with Alan ...

The Appalachian region was a melting pot where Afro-American song forms, particularly the blues, collided with European-based folk materials, particularly the modal ballad tradition, to create a haunting hybrid that, given its frequent preoccupation with grisly murders and obsessive tales of love gone astray, seemed to suggest a sordid world of ghostly retribution. Old-Time Mountain Ballads collects a handful of these songs that were issued on commercial 78s in the mid- to late 1920s, and truthfully, most of these tunes sounded ancient and archaic the moment they were recorded. Several are mysteriously beautiful, like Dick Burnett and Leonard Rutherford's fiddle and banjo classic, "Willie Moore," which has an enduring elegance, but the real strength of this collection is its several modal banjo pieces. Clarence Ashley (who was rediscovered in the early '60s with his skills still intact) opens the disc with "Dark Holler Blues," a variant of "East Virginia Blues," and his claw hammer banjo style sets a percolating rhythm for his high, scratchy, and keening vocal. Ashley can also be heard on Byrd Moore's "Frankie Silvers" here, adding the second vocal to a song that sounds like a doomed man's drunken last chorus. B.F. ...

Produced by Evans' former employer Ry Cooder, Blues for Thought often sounds like a Cooder album with a great singer. Better yet, Cooder has retained the services of some A-list studio cats, but manages to make them sound like drunken denizens of a Mississippi roadhouse. With the legendary Jim Keltner leading the way with his powerhouse thwacka-thwacka, and Cooder laying down his usual ultra-soulful licks, Evans and company groove mightily though a collection of first-rate material, including blues classics and Evans originals that sound like classics. Highlights are numerous, but one is the second song, "Hey Mama, Keep You Big Mouth Shut," which is almost assuredly the only version of a Bo Diddley tune to feature an oud. "That's the Way Love Turned Out for Me" is also a gem; a soul ballad featuring some absolutely gorgeous Cooder slide guitar, the tune allows Evans to show that he is much more than just a gruff blues shouter. Sonically, the record is a sweet audiophile pleasure, with ...
