The Chas McDevittt Skiffle Group with the diminutive Nancy Whiskey on vocals was one of the four major skiffle acts of the British '50s (the others being Lonnie Donegan, the Vipers, and Johnny Duncan). The group met with almost instant success ... Full Descriptionin the UK and USA with "Freight Train," although follow-up attempts met with little or no commercial success. Whiskey's successor Shirley Douglas eventually married McDevitt and continued to record with him long after the Skiffle Group's inevitable demise. For the first time on one album here are all of the McDevitt Group's Oriole label recordings featuring both aforementioned songstresses.
Skiffle was hot in 1957 and this is the real thing! "Every Day Of The Week" which advises the acquisition of at least five girlfriends simultaneously ("ątwo might leave you, the other three may die!"), the bluesy "Sportin' Life" and "Freight Train" are basically what skiffle was all about: women, hard luck and trains! Its popularity meant that budget labels like Woolworth's Embassy imprint would also release cheaper unnamed artist cover versions of the current skiffle successes. And who do we have covering "Freight Train" and others by Donegan and the Vipers but McDevitt himself! All essential skiffling. All here!

Chas Mcdevitt Skiffle Group album
 $11.89  
While its predecessor, 2005's HOPE AND DESIRE, found blues-rocker Susan Tedeschi getting on a soul train, BACK TO THE RIVER represents that phrase beloved by hardcore fans of any artist, "a return to form." Tedeschi is back to the hard-hitting, bluesy sound with which she made her name, and her joy at this stylistic homecoming is ...

$14.89 
The world at large got a fly-on-the-wall view of the creation of Metallica's 2003 album, ST. ANGER, via the documentary SOME KIND OF MONSTER, so we know they consciously tried to keep things contemporary at that time by avoiding fleet-fingered solos and eschewing the sound of the "old" Metallica. If that hoary old term "return to form" ever applied to a rock album, though, it's ANGER's follow-up, DEATH MAGNETIC.
In the five years between the two releases, Metallica ...

$14.95
Rootsy singer-songwriter Ray LaMontagne returns with his third album, downplaying the vintage soul vibes of his earlier work in favor of a more idiosyncratic feel rather akin to the sound that Cat Power has achieved with her recent albums. More so than on earlier albums, LaMontagne has toned down the old-fashioned Stax and Motown feel, although there's still a natural bluesiness both in his vocals and in the soulful, molasses-slow arrangements. However, the album's biggest outlier turns ...

Doug Sahm once said, "Texas is a big state and it's full of music. Anybody who focuses on just one part of it is missing most of the good stuff." At the time of this album's release, Sahm had been living and breathing all of the music he could, both recording and performing under his own name and with the Sir Douglas ...

One of the first families of funk, the Neville Brothers are the musical royal family of New Orleans. While it doesn't feature aspects of the sound that made albums like FIYO ON THE BAYOU so distinctly "N'Awlinz," 2004's WALKIN' IN THE SHADOW OF LIFE may well be the hardest funk the brothers have ever put on record. There are echoes of P-Funk on "Can't Stop the Funk," "Carry the Torch," and the title track, right down to the snare hits, the snapping bass, Charles's laid-back Maceo Parker-inspired ...
