| | Amos Milburn 1946-1947 CD Amos Milburn Discography of CDs
Amos Milburn was born in Houston, TX, on April 1, 1927. After serving in the Navy during the Second World War, the young pianist began performing publicly in a style derived directly from his heroes Albert Ammons and Pete Johnson. While leading a small band at San Antonio's Keyhole Club, Milburn was discovered by Lola Anne Cullum, a talent scout working for the Los Angeles-based Aladdin record label. Soon after hiring Milburn, Cullum would also sign and record a pair of fine bluesmen from Houston, Wilson "Thunder" Smith and Sam "Lightnin'" Hopkins. Milburn was only 19 years old when he made his first records. This compilation documents everything he recorded between September 1946 and October 1947. As the musicians in his regular working band were considered too green to appear on records, Milburn was provided with a small backing ensemble composed of players whose names have since been forgotten, although tenor saxophonist Maxwell Davis was in charge of the group and is believed to have performed on the sides cut in 1947. The slow, soulful, and bluesy instrumental "Real Gone" is the greatest artistic achievement of the entire album. All of this action predates Milburn's big hit of 1948, "Chicken Shack Boogie," and serves as a fascinating prelude to this pianist's later work and all of the hot music he went on to inspire others to create. ~ arwulf arwulf

Purchase 1946-1947 CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Muddy Waters 1941-1947 CD (2001)
1946-1947 album
 $12.89 
While the Chess/MCA reissue of The Complete Plantation Recordings of Muddy Waters focuses upon the 1941 and 1942 sessions, including alternate takes and spoken interviews, the Classics Blues & Rhythm Series presents only the master takes and follows McKinley Morganfield to Chicago where he made four sides in 1946 and teamed up with Sunnyland Slim in 1947. Muddy's first three records are amazing. His way of pulling the guitar strings and singing out of his heart is hypnotic, particularly on the straightforward "I Be's Troubled." In the company of guitarist Percy Thomas, mandolin man Louis Ford, and violinist Son Simms, Muddy shares vocals with everyone except the fiddler. This band, probably because of the mandolin, feels at times almost like the grandchild of the Memphis Jug Band. At the same session McKinley Morganfield cut four sides backed only by two other guitars. His recording itinerary as listed in the enclosed discography has him recording in both Stovall and Clarksdale, MS, over the span of several days. The Clarksdale material focuses once again on the man's sound when unaccompanied by anyone else. ...

$18.05
With his gospel-inflected vocals, full of melismatic swoops and sighs, and a penchant for speeded-up jump blues songs with strong sax lines, Roy Brown created the very template for early rock & roll in the late 1940s and early '50s. This first installment in Classics Records' chronological survey of Brown's recorded work includes both sides of his rare first single, "Deep Sea Diver" b/w "Bye Baby Bye," cut for the Houston independent Gold Star Records ...

Recorded between 1970 and 1979. Includes liner notes by Colin Escott.
Digitally remastered by Evren Goknar and Marty Wekser (Capitol Mastering, Los Angeles, California).
With so many Kris Kristofferson collections featuring basically the same material already available, it's questionable why the compilers felt it was necessary to repackage these songs again into this 2001 disc. What's especially frustrating is as of this release, there still was not a comprehensive multi-label Kristofferson ...
