| | I Can't Be Satisfied: Early American Women Blues Singers Vol. 1: CD
Musician (10/97, p.89) - "...these songs have a vitality in the lyrics, an urge to say something, that has disappeared almost completely in modern blues, where the emphasis has shifted so much to instrumental prowess..."
Required listening, I Can't Be Satisfied, Vol. 1 is the "Country" volume in a two-part series of early American blueswomen (Volume 2 is the "Town" volume). It is an absolutely essential compilation of early country blueswomen, many of whom appear on virtually no other recordings. This definitive archival collection of underdocumented, classic blueswomen and the better known bluesmen who performed with them includes such artists as Ruby Glaze backed by husband Blind Willie McTell and Hattie Hart who performs here with the Memphis Jug Band. Also heard are the only two available tracks by the intense Bertha Lee (Charlie Patton's wife during the last years of his life), "Yellow Bee" and "Mind Reader Blues." The sound quality of these 1920s recordings varies from mild, surface noise to the intense hiss of Geeshie Wiley's "Eagles on a Half," but some listeners will find that the power and rarity of this music outweighs such aesthetic inconveniences. If you want to hear incredible, tough women sing country-blues, get this. ~ Joslyn Layne

This outing by the blues-rock ensemble Canned Heat includes "Shake It and Break It," "Skat," and "Let's Work Together."
The final Canned Heat album to feature co-founder Alan Wilson, Future Blues was also one of their best, surprisingly restrained as a studio creation by the band, the whole thing clocking in at under 36 minutes, as long as some single jams on their live discs. It was also one of their most stylistically diverse efforts. Most of what's here is very concise and accessible, even the one group-composed jam -- Alan Wilson's "Shake It and Break It" and his prophetically titled "My Time Ain't Long" (he would be dead the year this record was issued), which also sounds a lot like a follow-up to "Going up the Country" until its final, very heavy, and up-close guitar coda. Other songs are a little self-consciously heavy, especially their version of Arthur Crudup's "That's All Right, Mama." Dr. John appears, playing piano on the dark, ominous "London Blues," and arranges ...
