| | Joe Louis Walker Between A Rock And The Blues CD (2009) Digipak
Best Of:I Feel Good
$13.59
San Francisco blues guitar king Joe Louis Walker has been purveying his biting brand of West Coast blues since the '60s, with time off for good behavior, literally (he spent years going "straight" attending school and playing gospel). On BETWEEN A ROCK AND THE BLUES he manages to keep one foot in the L.A. blues he grew up on (T-Bone Walker, Lowell Fulson, et al.) and the other in a more modern sound, both in his songwriting and his impassioned fretwork. On the likes of "Eyes like a Cat" and "Way Too Expensive," Walker's seasoned band whips up a sassy, swinging, old-school jump blues feel, while "Tell Me Why" leans into a classic-sounding Chicago-style shuffle. Walker's voice, still lithe and clear at 58, rings out authoritatively over it all, and his concise, stinging guitar makes no apologies for asserting its dominion over all it surveys. An unplugged stab at Delta blues on "Send You Back" feels less convincing, but other cuts, such as "I'm Tide" and "If There's a Heaven," show off a crunchier, grittier, more rock-inflected guitar tone with a compositional sensibility to match. When Walker taps into this more modern-sounding mode, though, it's important to realize there's no pandering involved. Even though his roots go back way further, he didn't begin establishing his own sound as a solo recording artist until the '80s, so it's entirely natural for his style to have picked up some rock & roll attack along the way. Crucially, he never overdoes it, maintaining just the right balance between the understated and the in-your-face. He hasn't stopped growing as a songwriter either--Walker's original tunes dominate the ...
| | Paul Butterfield Blues Band CD (1965)
Best Of:I Feel Good
$6.19  
The '60s Blues Revival begins here. Calling this album influential is an understatement akin to calling the Grand Canyon a rut; suffice to say that an entire generation of musicians (mostly young and white) heard this and had their lives changed forever. In fact, for at least a year after the album's release in 1965, it was impossible to walk down the hall of any college dorm in America without hearing one of the songs here echoing from somebody's room.
Heard today, the thing still packs a wallop. Butterfield's harmonica and vocals are utterly idiomatic, without a hint of minstrelsy. Michael Bloomfield's lead guitar is stinging and eloquent, and the rhythm section, on loan from Howling Wolf, swings like mad. The only fly in the ointment is the fairly primitive production, which often makes Mark Naftalin's keyboards sound like ...

| | B B King Live At The BBC CD (2009)
Best Of:I Feel Good
$11.09
This collection of live B.B. King recordings from the U.K. offers a unique opportunity to compare and contrast the legendary bluesman's concert performances from different eras. The album is dominated by tracks from a 1978 London show and a 1998 appearance in Croydon. While King's voice is noticeably raspier on the later cuts, his piercing guitar work sounds undiminished by the years. A couple of tunes each from 1991 and '89 performances round out this release, which focuses largely on B.B.'s best known songs, like "How Blue Can You Get" and "The Thrill Is Gone" (the only song here to appear in two different versions).

| | Johnny Adams Room With A View Of The Blues CD (1988)
Best Of:I Feel Good
$14.65
As the title suggests, this is one of the Tan Canary's most blues-oriented albums. With a crack backing band led by long-time collaborator and fellow New Orleans legend Dr. John, Adams tackles, among other gems, a bunch of classic songs by Percy Mayfield, including serenely swinging versions of "Not Trustworthy" and "The Hunt is On," (the latter featuring one of Adams' trademark mouth trombone solos). He also completely takes over two songs associated with Gladys Knight ("Neither One of Us Wants to Be the First to Say Goodbye" and "I Don't Want to Do Wrong") and has a great good time with the double entendres of Doc Pomus' "Body and Fender Man" ("Let me hammer out your dents," the singer suggests considerately). But the album's highpoints are "Wish I'd Never Loved You At All," a broken-hearted example of Southern ...
