Another entry in the Bear Family's ROCKS series, this Amos Milburn collection gathers the '40s jump blues pianist and singer's greatest sides, which pointed the way to the commercial R&B of the early '50s and after, especially the piano-based New Orleans variety. Aside from "Down The Road A Piece" (which the Rolling Stones famously covered on 1964's THE ROLLING STONES, NOW!), Milburn is not particularly well-known, despite his other early R&B classics like "Chicken Shack Boogie" and "One Soda, One Scotch, One Beer," which John Lee Hooker later immortalized in his own inimitable style. This typically well-produced single-disc, 31-track compilation, with its extensive liner notes and great remastered sound, should go some ways towards righting that wrong, .Dirty Linen (p.64) - "These 31 tracks from Bear Family testify to the power and glory of one of the forgotten heroes of rock..."

Rocks 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 ...

Despite his statement in the liner notes that "In an era where it is best to play it safe, I chose to take a risk...," there isn't much surprising or risky about young guitarist Joe Bonamassa's fifth studio album. Most of his previous releases have mixed blues covers with his own originals, all played with a rocker's attitude, volume and less-than-subtle approach. This one follows suit and even though he goes on to say that he "wanted to make a blues album, not a rock album that has blues on it," as in the past; it's impossible to claim that he has succeeded with You & Me. That doesn't make this a bad or disappointing disc; quite the contrary, it's a solid blues-rock release and arguably his best work to date. But as early as the second track, an original rocker titled "Bridge to Better Days," Bonamassa takes off on an early Free/Savoy Brown-styled stomper. Things settle down and get more rootsy on the following two slow blues tracks, although a lovely Bonamassa original, "Asking Around for You," adds strings, not exactly a touch most would associate with pure blues. Regardless, it's extremely effective and when the strings return on a nine-and-a-half-minute cover of Led Zeppelin's "Tea for One," it is a spine-tingling experience and possibly this album's finest moment. Drummer Jason Bonham, who is excellent throughout, brings additional authenticity to the song his dad first played on. Bonamassa unplugs for a few mid-disc tracks, including a cover of "Tamp 'Em Up Solid" (oddly credited to Ry Cooder but typically known as a traditional piece, even on Cooder's version). Twelve-year-old harmonica whiz L.D. Miller does his best John Popper imitation on a hyperactive ...

| | Johnny Winter Still Alive And Well CD (1973)
Rocks album
$6.79 
You might mistake this for a live record, but this is actually a 1973 studio release by the Texas blues guitar master. Winter's first release after a brief retirement/drying-out period, STILL ALIVE AND WELL, from the title on down, has the feeling of a major comeback, although Winter really hadn't been gone for very long. Looking hale and hearty on the cover--or as hale and hearty as a rail-thin albino can look, anyway--Winter sounds equally fit on the songs themselves. Produced by his longtime collaborator Rick Derringer, who also leads the tight and flashy band with his rhythm and second lead playing, the album is possibly the most pop-oriented release of Winter's tenure at Columbia. The band, which features Todd Rundgren on synthesizers and Mellotron (on a Johnny Winter album???) and Rundgren's associate Mark "Moogy" Klingman on piano, is probably mostly responsible for this, but Winter's amiable versions of the Stones' "Silver Train" and "Let It Bleed," along with Dan Hartman's "Can't You Feel It," are among his most radio-friendly work. This reissue also features uncompleted outtakes of Little Richard's "Lucille" and Dylan's "From a Buick 6," missing ...
| | Joe Bonamassa Blues Deluxe CD (2003)
Rocks CD music
$13.89
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 ...

Rocks songs
$35.49
Sometime in the 1990s, a group of maverick rappers in Oakland gathered under a name befitting the sharp, cerebral, often oblique skills of its members: Hieroglyphics. The collective includes the talented, prolific Del tha Funkee Homosapien and the gifted freestyler Casual, along with Souls of Mischief (Opio, Phesto, Tajai and A-Plus), the multi-talented Pep Love, and producer Domino (not to be confused with the Long Beacher who sang "Getto Jam"), most of whom already had successful albums before releasing THIRD EYE VISION together in 1998.
The Hieroglyphics crew returns five years later with all members intact on the thoroughly captivating FULL CIRCLE, and it's precisely the kind of record one would hope for from such an eclectic cast of eccentrics who've been rapping together for over a decade. The Hieroglyphics possess some of the most acute, inventive, imaginative wordsmiths in the rap universe, Swiftian minds capable of composing lines like "my rhymes is illegible, but still legendary" or ...
