Angola Prisoner's Blues Music Review

Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars) 4 stars

4 stars This is the real thing....real LA blues
I first heard this record in the LSU library in 1960. I kept goin back for years to listen because its real and its good.(I played blues for 50 years.) Robert Pete is wonderfull; but all the artists are worth hearing.

The beginnings of heavy metal can be pinpointed to a single song, Steppenwolf's biker classic "Born to Be Wild," featured on this classic self-titled 1968 debut. Originally from Canada, Steppenwolf exploded out of the West Coast, led by singer/guitarist John Kay. The band took the blues rock of Cream and cranking the volume a few notches higher to create its own style. There's ...

Gun Club Miami CD (1982)

Angola Prisoner's Blues

While the Gun Club's debut, FIRE OF LOVE, was a masterpiece of untamed punk blues, follow-up album MIAMI, produced by Blondie's Chris Stein, achieves a fuller sound and a more varied stylistic palette without sacrificing any of its predecessor's intensity. The revved-up blues of yore are still here ("Devil in the Woods," "Fire of Love"), but wild-child singer Jeffrey Lee Pierce and company also tackle everything from Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Run Through the Jungle" (in a surprisingly faithful version) to the atmospheric, somewhat Doors-y "Watermelon Man" (not the Herbie Hancock tune), mixing rock, blues, country, and folk with post-punk energy and Pierce's ...

Robert Cage Can See What You're Doing CD (1998)

Angola Prisoner's Blues

$11.39

Praise be to Fat Possum Records for enlivening the blues tradition almost single-handedly in the '90s. Flagship artists R.L. Burnside and Junior Kimbrough, with their jagged, raw sound, are the templates for most Fat Possum releases. Like many of his labelmates, Robert Cage is a senior citizen hailing from Mississippi, who kept the blues flame burning throughout a lifetime of day jobs and poverty. Cage is as unadorned and authentic a singer/guitarist as Burnside or Kimbrough, equally at home with the barnburning electric guitar-and-drums approach of "Get Outta Here" or the fingerpicked folk-blues of "Goodnight Irene." Occasionally, Cage (who's affectionately referred to in the liner notes as a "grunter") recalls Joseph Spence with his guttural vocal style and forceful acoustic ...

Angola Prisoner's Blues

$15.65

The former Blood, Sweat & Tears singer is in fine voice on this live 2005 retrospective of his notable successes with the jazz-rock group and solo. Well-known musical memorabilia, such as his version of Billie Holiday's "God Bless the Child," and the BS&T originals "And When I Die," "Spinning Wheel," and "(You've Made Me) So Very Happy," make this set an entertaining jaunt down memory lane, while a sensitive reading of Holiday's "God Bless the Child" puts the bombast of "Lucretia MacEvil" into perspective. The once and future lead singer of Blood, Sweat & Tears was recorded live at Torontos Opera House on October 26th and 27th, 2005. Its a musical biography of sorts, reflecting the history and legacy of an incredibly prolific career. The album is comprised of songs Clayton-Thomas either wrote or performed with Blood Sweat & Tearsfrom 60s classics like Spinning Wheel and Go Down Gamblin to 70s and 80s hits like the bebop gem Gimme That Wineas well as songs culled from his first Justin Time album "Aurora" (2005)the Billie ...
