Classics 5134 1953-1954 spotlights Ray Charles earliest sessions for Atlantic Records. Recorded in New York, New Orleans, and Atlanta between May 1953 and November 1954, Charles is heard in three different settings: solo, fronting a small combo with a horn section, and with a full orchestra. It was at this point in his career that Ray Charles hooked up with Atlantic moguls Ahmet Ertegun and Jerry Wexler and recorded the passionate, gospel-inspired material that gained him worldwide recognition, brought to fruition by the hit "I've Got a Woman." This is another enjoyable installment of Classics Blues & Rhythm Series recommended to both collectors and casual fans alike. ~ Al Campbell

$15.39
This 23-song compilation, issued as a tie-in to producer Joe Boyd's autobiography of the same name, is sure to attract the attention of Richard Thompson fanatics, who will be drawn to the presence of the previously unissued "Church Mouse" by Dudu Pukwana & Spear; Thompson and Simon Nicol played with the African alto saxman on what was to be a major single release, but one that only made it out in South Africa, and only in partly finished form, as far as Boyd and the artist were concerned. Of course, those who love great guitar playing may also want to give a close listen to "Spanish Ladies Medley" by Dave Swarbrick, Martin Carthy, and Diz Disley, where the plucked instruments run thick and rich and reach into Django Reinhardt territory (and why does one get the feeling, listening to this, that if Reinhardt had lived Boyd would have gotten him in on this?). This is also the second major anthology release of 2006 to feature Vashti Bunyan, which must say something about her prominence in the pantheon of British folk artists of the 1960s, putting her alongside the Incredible String Band, Fotheringay, Fairport Convention, Shirley Collins, Nick Drake et al. -- not bad for a singer whose most visible and easily accessible piece of music 15 years ago was a fragment ...

The fourth solo album from Krautrock legend Michael Rother (Kraftwerk, Harmonia, Neu!), originally released in 1982. Here Rother steps out on his own, handling production duties himself for the first time and focusing more on the sythesizer than previous
Personnel: Michael Rother (guitar, synthesizer, electronics); Michael Rother; Jaki Liebezeit (drums).

FERNWARME, reissued in 2007 by the California-based Water label, is the fourth solo album by former Kraftwerk/Neu!/Harmonia member Michael Rother, and his first of the 1980s. For the album, Rother continued to rely on the repetitive figures and motorik beat that marked most of his career, yet he distanced himself even further from the more experimental rock tendencies of his work with the previously mentioned outfits. Soothing synth tones, soaring guitar figures, and a gentle yet driving pulse come together to form a multifaceted and ultimately appealing soundscape. This is not Rother's most ambitious work, but it is quite lovely nonetheless.

1953-1954
$19.99
"...Korinek is a tremendous technician, & delivers his improvisations with a powerful musical intellect. Plus, his quick fingered & blazing contrapuntal approach to organ is almost effortless. He's a sensitive & reponsive player with great stamina............Maybe not one the best known, but potentially one of the best to emerge..."George W. CarrollThe Musicians' Ombudsman, EJAZZNEWS.COMLiner Notes from the CD:I am not a patient listener. When I hit "Play" on a new CD, my finger is never far from the "Forward" button. If a song doesn't grab me right away, I move to the next one. So, by my own private metric, any CD that I play straight through without skipping forward gets at least two, maybe three stars out of five. When ...
| | Joe Hill Louis King Of The One Man Bands: Key Postwar Cuts 1949-1954 CDs (2009)
1953-1954
$20.99
Personnel: Joe Hill Louis (vocals, guitar, harmonica, bass drum, hi-hat); Walter Horton (harmonica); George Lawson (tenor saxophone); Ford Nelson, Albert Williams (piano); Willie Nix (drums).
Liner Note Author: Neil Slaven.
Recording information: Los Angeles, CA (11/21/1949-??/??/1954); Memphis, TN (11/21/1949-??/??/1954); New York, NY (11/21/1949-??/??/1954).
There's no getting around the novelty factor inherent in a one man band, but when listening to the tracks on the two-dsic KING OF THE ONE MAN BANDS chronicling the career of Joe Hill Louis, it's easy to forget the dexterity and musical talent that goes into such a performance. Louis, a staple of the Memphis blues scene of the early 1950s, played a straightforward, highly danceable version of classic R&B. Although there were many musicians around at the time who delivered the goods with both more guts and more technical grace, it's more than a little amazing to consider that Louis was truly doing everything on his own. His harmonica playing alone is remarkable considering everything else he's handling in the process. Like the one-man-band itself, this collection is a bit of a one-trick pony, but a historically fascinating one nonetheless.
Joe Hill Louis was a one-man band, pure and simple. It's what he did, singing while playing guitar, adding in harmonica runs and keeping 4/4 time on a hi-hat and bass drum, all at once. It's a rare thing, one-man bands. A few names come to mind, like Doctor Ross, Jesse Fuller, and ...
