Blues legend Sam Myers got a second chance at the brass ring, and he's happily made the most of it. As frontman for Anson Funderburgh & the Rockets, the legally blind Myers's booming voice and succinct harp work have enjoyed a higher profile ... Full Description

Kim Wilson Lookin' For Trouble CD (2003)

Coming From The Old School album

$13.49

LOOKIN 'FOR TROUBLE was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Traditional Blues Album. Though he's best known as the frontman for the blues-rocking Fabulous Thunderbirds, singer/harmonica player Kim Wilson has quietly carved out a career for himself as one of the most authentic-sounding blues players of the 21st century. Wilson is obviously well-schooled in the blues, and dips into the catalog of Chicago blues godfather Willie Dixon with aplomb on "Love My Baby," but he's equally capable of crafting original songs that honor the spirit of post-war electric blues without coming off as self-consciously nostalgic. The raw-but-right recording approach helps a great deal; the tracks were laid down in just three days with an extremely live feel that recalls the classic Chess productions of the 1950s. ...

Here Comes Shuggie Otis/Freedom Flight CD (1970) (Import) Australia

Coming From The Old School album

$20.19

It's staggering to consider that Shuggie Otis had virtually been forgotten by the time his delightfully idiosyncratic 1974 album Inspiration Information resurfaced in 2001. The precociously talented guitarist/singer/songwriter/producer/multi-instrumentalist (and son of band leader Johnny Otis) had been no stranger to success. In 1977 the Brothers Johnson took their cover version of Shuggie's sublime "Strawberry Letter 23" to #5 on the US Billboard Pop chart, selling a million copies in the process. The original version appeared on his 1971 album "Freedom Flight", a stunning work that mixed virtuoso electric blues with gentle psychedelic soul/R&B ballads. 1970's "Here Comes Shuggie Otis" saw the guitarist attack a selection of uniquely swampy blues shuffles and Hendrix-styled ...

Coming From The Old School Music Review

Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars) 4 stars

5 stars One for the ages
First introduced to Sam Myers on "Which way is Texas", I found his voice and delivery as pointed as you can expect the Blues to be. Now with his passing Sam becomes an american blues icon. If you are a true fan of the blues, "Comming from the old school" deserves to be in your collection.

5 stars Sam just keeps getting better
Sam Myers is at the top of his form. You can tell he enjoyed making this CD. He wrote many of the songs & is backed by excellent musicians. Mel Brown does a great job, as ususal, on guitar. If you do not know Sam Myers, this is the one CD to get. I hope that Sam sings these songs with Anson Funderburgh & the Rockets, with whom he has toured since the mid-80's. This album has resulted in Sam being nominated for the Handy Award this year; & he clearly deserves to win for album of the year. I hope there is more to come.

I found this album really slow and monotonous; and Sam's voice is well past it's prime. Well past. Blues for the ages? No. Blues for the aged.
