Robert Cray has been quietly turning out consistently solid blues efforts since 1980, and 2006's two-CD set LIVE FROM ACROSS THE POND shows that Cray's brand of smooth, accessible blues has only improved over the years. Cray has a soft spot for the sound of 1960s R&B, a fondness reflected brilliantly in his sharp, tuneful songwriting and deeply soulful singing. Many of these songs wouldn't sound out of place on a Stax/Volt platter circa 1968, but Cray's flawless guitar technique keeps things rooted in the tradition of electric blues. Packed with great tunes and solos, LIVE should please fans of Cray and electric blues in general.

Recording information: Royal Albert Hall.

Personnel: Robert Cray (vocals, guitar); Robert Cray; Jim Pugh (keyboards); Kevin Hayes (drums); Karl Sevareid.

Audio Mixer: Don Smith .

Down Beat (p.65) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Giving it his all, Cray discovers new wrinkles on lust or forlorn love in old standbys as well as recent songs."

Mike Bloomfield Super Session CD  (1968) Bonus Tracks; Remastered

Live From Across The Pond
CD $6.75  4.4 stars Top 100 Audio Samples
A surprise best-seller when it was first released, this mostly improvised pairing of singer/keyboardist/producer Al Kooper with two major guitar heroes of the day sounds fascinating all these years later precisely because of the distance of time--nobody makes records like this any more. The material runs the gamut from folk pop (covers of Donovan and Dylan), to blues ("Albert's Shuffle," "You Don't Love Me"), to heady jams ("His Holy Modal Majesty"), to big-band jazz ("Harvey's Tune"). All the tunes make effective templates for the kind off-the-cuff music-making that in less capable hands might have resulted in simple noodling. In fact, although Bloomfield and Stills don't play together on any of the cuts (Bloomfield played on one side of the original LP, Stills on the other), all ...

Cray's blues is often criticized for being commercially oriented. The truth is that Cray's music is much closer to '60s-era soul and R&B than it is to traditional blues. Rather than restricting himself to a 1-4-5 blues formula, he crafts memorable pop tunes that sound like they might have come from the Stax/Volt offices circa 1968. The anti-war song "Poor Johnny" is a case in point, as is the driving "That Ain't Love" and the smoothly swinging ...

Derek Trucks Songlines CD  (2006)

Live From Across The Pond
CD $11.39  5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
This is, perhaps, the one. Derek Trucks has been on an aesthetic quest for something since he began his own recording career in 1997 -- apart from his membership in the Allman Brothers Band. Each record has gone further into establishing Trucks not only as a slide guitar wizard (that happened when he was still in his teens), but also as a serious songwriter, fine arranger, and bandleader. The Derek Trucks Band, as evidenced by the release of 2003's Soul Serenade, is a unit -- a band -- whose core has been together for eight years. They create an atmosphere, a sound, a musical sense of place and community. On Live at the Georgia Theater (available only on the Internet), the DTB performed with new vocalist Mike Mattison, who gave them something they needed: a strong, utilitarian presence that could be as diverse and adventurous as the band was musically. This album's title, Songlines, ...

Shepherd's reverence for his musical roots are centerstage on this CD/DVD package featuring the guitarslinger with rhythm section of bassist Tommy Shannon and drumer Chris slayton performing with some of the greatest blues players of our time as well as lesser-known but historically significant bluesmen. Traveling to their hometowns to record everywhere from juke joints to front porches, from New Orleans to Kansas, Shepherd celebrates and becomes part of blues history. More than a mere live album, this collection of impromptu performances, recorded at both established venues and in kitchens and on front porches throughout the American South, captures a rapidly vanishing generation of bluesmen and women singing and playing with the blues musician ...

Appointed "Mother of the Blues" during her '20s heyday, singer Ma Rainey was one of the best of the many classic female blues singers of the period. An inspiration to the "Empress of the Blues," Bessie Smith, Rainey was a Georgia native who was discovered in Chicago during the early '20s. While not the possessor of a voice as powerful as Smith's, Rainey still ...

Live From Across The Pond
CD $11.09  Audio Samples
Leadbelly's official discography is pretty confusing, a mixture of live radio shows, field recordings for Alan Lomax, one-off studio sessions for small labels, casual sessions for Moses Asch, more professionally supervised sessions for Columbia Records, a handful of early 78s, and the occasional recorded live set from a college or coffee house performance. The licensing for some of these recordings has been sold time and time again, leading to countless collections that feature roughly the same songs and poor to zero annotation. The miracle in all of this is the remarkable ...
About To Blow My Top
Annisteen Allen About To Blow My Top CD  (2006) (Import)

Live From Across The Pond
CD $15.95
While she's largely forgotten even by R&B historians, Annisteen Allen recorded quite a bit in the 1950s, though only one of her singles, "Baby, "I'm Doin' It!," was a big hit. That single -- a risque "answer" record to the Five Royales' "Baby Don't Do It" that made the R&B Top Ten in 1953 -- is here, along with 27 other tracks, mostly or wholly from the early- to mid-'50s from the sound of things (original release info, unfortunately, is not supplied). Allen's records are emblematic in many ways of both swing jazz's transition to R&B, and R&B's transition from rock & roll. Certainly the earliest sides are as much, or maybe even a bit more, swing than R&B -- a logical connection, since Allen had been a singer with Lucky Millinder. She found a yet more impressive groove, however, with later sides with more of a funky backbeat, the best of which, the outlandish "Fujiyama Mama," was famously covered yet ...
