Francis "Scrapper" Blackwell was one of Robert Johnson's primary inspirations. Born in February 1903 in Indianapolis to parents of African and Cherokee ancestry, he developed his blues guitar technique during the 1920s while specializing in the distribution of bootleg liquor. Hard Time Blues, a Scrapper Blackwell sampler released by Acrobat Records in 2003, covers a timeline from 1928 to 1935 with eight solo Blackwell performances followed by ten duets with pianist Leroy Carr. Unlike Bad Liquor Blues, a similarly packaged but more varied Blackwell collection released by Catfish Records in the year 2000, Hard Time Blues is laid out as if to emphasize the powerful presence of Blackwell as a soloist alongside his famous collaborations with Carr. This little 18-track survey may serve as an introduction to the work of both men, with Blackwell's contributions standing out as distinct from the shadow of his famous colleague. Note that the rhythmically hypnotic "Trouble Blues," originally released as flipsides of a Vocalion 78 rpm record, is here presented as tracks one and eight, almost as if to "bookend" Blackwell's solo portion of the proceedings, like the soundtrack to a short film with opening and closing credits. "Kokomo Blues" was covered by Kokomo Arnold and then famously converted into "Sweet Home Chicago" by Robert Johnson. ~ arwulf arwulf

One of the key figures in the growth of urban Blues music, Blackwell is known primarily as the guitar accompanist to one of the most popular and prolific recording stars of the pre-war era - Leroy Carr. Under his own name he recorded less than 40 titles between 1923 and 1935 several of which are featured here along with duets with Carr. Acrobat. 2003.

Louisiana slide master Sonny Landreth takes his time between releases -- his last studio disc of original material was five years prior to this -- but when they arrive, the wait seems justified. For the debut album on his own Landfall records, Landreth calls in marquee name guitarists Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Robben Ford, Eric Johnson, and Vince Gill to bolster the visibility factor. Rather than focusing on guitar duals, Landreth wrote songs that incorporate their styles, and occasional vocals, organically into the material. There are plenty of ...

Living Out Of Time: Live
Robin Trower Living Out Of Time: Live CD  (2005)

Hard Time Blues music CDs
CD $13.19  5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
Sharing four tunes with its 2004-released studio counterpart, Living Out of Time, this 2005 performance, recorded at a single gig in Bonn, Germany, is a reminder that Robin Trower is every bit the guitar player he was on his first live album from 1976. Interestingly, three tunes ("Too Rolling Stoned," "Daydream," and the concert-closing "Little Bit of Sympathy") are reprised from that early collection. Trower and band were ready to release another studio album after Living Out of Time when this was recorded, but none of those tracks made it into this set. Regardless, this is a rousing show that respectfully runs through the warhorses such as a fiery ten-minute "Bridge of Sighs" and the aforementioned tunes, with as much enthusiasm as the newer, far less familiar tracks. Vocalist Davey Pattison ably replaces the unforgettable James Dewar, who passed away in 2002. He has the same gravelly, soulful bite as Trower's original vocalist and almost as much emotion, even if he isn't working in a ...
In The Middle Of The Night
Lafayette Harris In The Middle Of The Night CD  (2007)

Hard Time Blues songs
CD $15.19  Audio Samples
BIO Lafayette Harris's accomplishments speak for themselves. Known as the "go to" pianist by other musicians and band leaders, in the last year alone, Lafayette has played the Burghausen Jazz Fest in Bavaria, toured Europe and America with Ernestine Anderson, played the wedding for the daughter of ABC "World News Tonight" host, Charlie Gibson and released his 6th CD: TRIO TALK. Alongside these have been Lafayette's regular appearances at New York's Blue Note, Dizzy's Coca Cola, The Iridium and a weekly open mic session that he hosts at the historic Lenox Lounge in Harlem, widely regarded as the "best vocal jam session" in the city by New York's weekly listing guides. However, before the A-list musician lifestyle, Lafayette's formative years were spent in Baltimore, laying the foundation to his craft at church and in private tutelage. By the time he hit his teens Lafayette was a regular on the local Top 40 scene, playing in bands that covered all the classic R&B and funk of the day by acts such as the Ohio Players, Parliament/Funkadelic, the Gap Band and more. However, Lafayette's heart was very much rooted in jazz and his real hero was fellow Baltimore native Eubie Blake. After hearing Blake play Scott Joplin's "Maple Leaf Rag" Lafayette was determined to perfect it. He augmented his live work with hard study, receiving a Bachelor of Music from Oberlin Conservatory and then going on to ...
