| | Hillstomp After Two But Before Five CD Hillstomp Discography of CDs
Recorded live over two nights in August 2006, After Two But Before Five offers a snapshot of a blues-rock band performing before an appreciative audience. A small unit, Hillstomp feature the electric guitar work and vocals of Henry Kammerer along with percussion and vocals of John Johnson and, on occasion, the harp work of Philip Guttman. Even with this small lineup, Hillstomp are capable of raising the volume on songs like the opener, "Goin' Down South," and its follow-up, "NE Portland 3am." While Kammerer switches between straight electric ("Lucy's Lament") and slide guitar ("Mr. Charlie III") and Guttman augments the soundscape of songs like "Rollin' and Tumblin'," the main dish on the menu remains swampy electric blues. Hillstomp work well as a unit and perform these songs with passion. Nonetheless, the band seems limited in both the narrow range of material it relies on and murky vocals. The songs are simply too similar, relying on a steady groove that seems to stand still at times (very much a "hill stomp"). The murky vocals reinforce these qualities. For fans who are already familiar with the band, After Two But Before Five will work as a dedicated memento; for blues-rock fans unfamiliar with the band, the album will lack the necessary spark to separate Hillstomp from many other electric blues bands. ~ Ronnie D. Lankford, Jr.
Hillstomp: Henry Kammerer (guitar); John Johnson (unknown instrument).
Additional personnel: Philip Guttman (harmonica).

CURTIS is the first solo album by R&B/soul legend Curtis Mayfield. After leaving the Impressions, Mayfield began to write lyrics that were more politically charged. With the 1970 release of CURTIS, he became one of the most important socially conscious artists of his generation. The album's opener, "(Don't Worry) If There's a Hell Below We're All Going to Go" uses racial epithets openly, as Mayfield asserts the shiftlessness of America. Set to a funky ...

$12.59 
Seven years after the duo's inception, Suicide's debut album finally sneaked out in 1977 on the coat tails of the nascent New York punk scene. If its aim had been to confuse, startle, or repulse, SUICIDE succeeded in spades. By the same token, if a part-time sculptor and avant-garde jazz musician form a two-chord synthesizer duo and call it Suicide, commercial considerations are presumably low on their list of priorities. SUICIDE was a record destined to have future journalists reaching for words like "seminal". Synth duos start here.

| | Shirley Witherspoon Magic & Love CD (2000)
After Two But Before Five music CDs
$16.05
The cousin of blues singer Jimmy Witherspoon, Shirley Witherspoon has been singing professionally for more than 30 years. Among the many credits she has amassed is a year's sojourn with the Duke Ellington Orch. in 1969 and 1970. Influenced by Billie Holiday, with some Dinah Washington and Esther Phillips thrown in to give her voice a solid blusey sound, Witherspoon works through a program of ten good tunes on this her third album. She is accompanied by a stellar group of musicians including "guest" appearances by Jimmy Heath and Toots Thielemanns and a trio which includes A-one pianist, Kenny Werner. The rhythm section of Gordon Johnson and Jay Espstein add flair to their rhythm setting duties.
The 30 years in the performing trenches has taken a toll on Witherspoon's vocal chords, at least as far as the technical capabilities are concerned. This wear and tear especially shows on the slower tunes where her voice quivers and where she reaches for some of the higher notes. But the pathos, the soul, the phrasing and timing have been honed by the same years of ...

To a country blues purist, asking Sleepy John Estes to record an album of electric Chicago blues is an act of blasphemy. So imagine the reaction of such elitists when, in 1968, Delmark president Bob Koester united the Tennessee bluesman with an electric-oriented Chicago blues band that included Jimmy Dawkins on electric guitar, ...

It's really amazing how quickly musical styles can go from groundbreaking to old-fashioned in just a few short years; and the length of any given "fashion cycle" only seems to be getting shorter, at the same rate as the average teenage attention spans. This is precisely the dilemma facing Germany's Deadlock, whose reward for sticking to their light-and-dark ...
