Recorded live at the Fillmore Auditorium, San Francisco. Originally released on Stax (2003).
By 1968, after years of regional success and low-profile gigging, Albert King had attained significant popularity among both blues and rock audiences. The 1967 release of his Stax debut BORN UNDER A BAD SIGN had achieved crossover success, and he was regularly sharing stages with the likes of Jimi Hendrix at ...

The giant left-handed guitarist was no stranger to the recording studio by 1966, but Albert King had still to make his mark with the record-buying public. When he linked up with the cream of Stax's Memphis musicians, including Booker T. And The MGs and the Memphis Horns, that connection was made. "Laundromat Blues", "Oh, Pretty Woman" and "Crosscut Saw" set the scene for "Born Under A Bad Sign" and "The Hunter", which quickly found their way into the repertoires of Cream and Free. The convolutions of his guitar style were perfectly complemented by the trademark Stax funk rhythms. ...
| | Mike Bloomfield Super Session CD (1968) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Years Gone By album
$10.15 
A surprise best-seller when it was first released, this mostly improvised pairing of singer/keyboardist/producer Al Kooper with two major guitar heroes of the day sounds fascinating all these years later precisely because of the distance of time--nobody makes records like this any more. The material runs the gamut from folk pop (covers of Donovan and Dylan), to blues ("Albert's Shuffle," "You Don't Love Me"), to heady jams ("His Holy Modal Majesty"), to big-band jazz ("Harvey's Tune").
All the tunes make effective templates for the kind off-the-cuff music-making that in less capable hands might have resulted in simple noodling. In fact, although Bloomfield and Stills don't play together on any of the cuts (Bloomfield played on one side of the original LP, Stills on the other), all three principals get off lots of good licks and producer Kooper has some interesting tricks up his sleeve, as in the over-the-top phasing he lavishes on "You Don't Love Me." The only real disappointment here is that Stills, a far better singer than Kooper, never opens his mouth.
Those familiar with the Live Adventures album these two recorded at the Fillmore West know how brilliant they could be on stage, and here's another gem, recorded at the Fillmore East this time and featuring ...

Includes liner notes by Chris Hillman and Holly George-Warren.
Digitally remastered by Jim Phillips (Universal Mastering Studios West, North Hollywood, California).
Founded by ex-Byrds Gram Parsons and Chris Hillman, the Flying Burrito Brothers cultivated the country-rock sound originated by that duo's former band into a major movement whose reverberations are still felt to this day. Defined by Parsons as "a Southern soul group playing country and gospel-oriented music with a steel guitar," the Burritos produced a brand of "cosmic country" that included songs about avoiding the draft ("My Uncle"), innocence lost ("Sin City") and a fast-living femme fatale ("Christine's Tune").
The Burritos also translated their considerable creative talents into covering songs by a diverse array of artists including Aretha Franklin ("Do Right Woman"), Buck Owens ("Close Up The Honky Tonks"), the Rolling Stones ("Wild Horses") and The Bee Gees ("To Love Somebody"). Among the band's satellite members were fiddler Byron Berline, pedal steel player "Sneeky" Pete Kleinow, former Byrd Michael Clarke and future Eagle Bernie Leadon.
Includes rare non-album and live tracks.
Personnel: Chris Hillman (vocals, guitar, mandolin, bass); Gram Parsons (vocals, guitar, keyboards); Rick Roberts (vocals, guitar); Chris Hillman ...

Like many young British bands of the 2000s, the Young Knives owe a heavy debt to the post-punk bands of the early 1980s, namely Gang of Four. Perhaps not coincidentally, the Young Knives' full-length debut, VOICES OF ANIMALS AND MEN, was produced by Gang of Four frontman Andy Gill, further highlighting the band's influences and their association with like-minded contemporaries such as the Futureheads and Maximo Park.
It addition to the requisite herky-jerky guitars and danceable rhythms, the Young Knives offer up whimsical vocal interplay in charming, irrepressible British accents. The latter gives the band's sound a bit of cheek, which carries over well, especially in witty narratives like "She's Attracted ...
