Originally released on the Diablo label in 1962, ROOSEVELT SYKES SINGS THE BLUES is a classic Sykes date. The set is full of romping boogies, slow-burn ballads, and straight-ahead blues stomps featuring a loose but gutsy band backing Sykes on vocals and piano. Sykes's singing and playing are characteristically bright, and he manages to sound elegant and classy without ever losing his bluesy punch. The 2006 reissue boasts improved sound and is a happy reminder of the pleasures of this luminous bluesman.
An immensely enjoyable set of low-key Chicago blues, recorded in 1962 and featuring "The Honeydripper" in fine fettle. Sykes' backing musicians on this small-group date include the great Willie Dixon on bass, alongside renowned tenor man Sax Mallard, Lee Roosevelt Sykes Sings The Blues Songs Sings The Blues Review

Sings The Blues album
 $18.05 
Growing up among Afro-Americans in Berkeley, CA, Greek-American Johnny Otis (born John Veliotes) always identified strongly with people of color. Before he had attained the age of 20 he was gigging with black jazz bands throughout the Southwest, and eventually organized an ensemble deliberately patterned after Count Basie's orchestra. This highly charged album of historical musical artifacts documents the very beginning of Johnny Otis' recording career. ...

| | Half Man Half Biscuit Achtung Bono CD (2005) (Import) United Kingdom
Sings The Blues CD music
$24.95
ACHTUNG BONO is a send-up of U2 by the British band Half Man Half Biscuit.
Who could have guessed in 1985 that not only would Half Man Half Biscuit be the only one of the then-current crop of U.K. indie guitar bands -- those retroactively and often erroneously referred to as C-86 bands -- still recording in more or less their original incarnation, but that they would also release one of their finest albums a full 20 years after The Trumpton Riots. Achtung Bono is a start-to-finish joy that combines all of singer/songwriter Nigel Blackwell's ongoing themes: small town British life, the vagaries of popular culture, taking the piss out of the often self-important British indie rock scene, and the forms and themes of his beloved traditional country and folk music. There's also a greater level of warmth for his characters on the part of the notoriously acerbic Blackwell, best captured in the spirited album closer "We Built This Village on a Trad. Arr. Tune." Besides tweaking the pompous Starship hit of the mid-'80s, the brilliantly dense, punning lyrics are downright affectionate in their portrayal of the quirks of the town's residents. Not that Blackwell has lost his edge: "Shit Arm, Bad Tattoo" castigates the Libertines so thoroughly that Pete Doherty probably cried when he heard it. It also includes a verse so magnificently Blackwellesque that it deserves quoting in full: "If you're going to quote from the Book of Revelation/Don't keep calling it 'The Book Of Revelations'/There's no 's' - it's the Book of Revelation/As revealed to Saint ...

| | Skist Taking Something Somewhere CD (2006) (Import)
Sings The Blues songs
$19.29
Skist is the experimental song unit of Samm Bennett and Haruna Ito. Their music addresses an expanded capacity of the ear and emotion, through a less linear use of sound, rhythm, melody and words than the conventional pop song: a bridge in an open-ended relationship between performer and listener.Bennett lays down an intricate, percolating rhythmic bed, as well as harmonic drones, to which Ito adds strangely organic digital feedback-based textures that crackle, whistle, buzz and hum. Through this rich fabric, Haruna's clear voice and nebulous poetry weaves as another thread, balancing against rhythm and texture rather than presenting itself as the music's focal point. These four elements, rhythm, texture, vocal melody and word, are the key components of Skist's sound: their goal is to continually rework and reconfigure them in ways that will be refreshing and challenging to themselves and to their listeners.Their performance methods are ever-changing, as they are keenly interested in exploring untried strategies in making music together, and adamant about not falling into easy patterns and systems.Their first release Ellipsis (2002) featured mostly programmed beats, but their latest release Taking Something Somewhere ...
