Artist: Howlin' Wolf - (Audio CD) - 1990 ... more
Howlin' Wolf is one of the seminal blues artists. His guitar and that scritchy voice are definitive of the blues standard. This CD is actually a two-fer, a Chess compilation of his two first albums: Howlin' Wolf and Moanin' at Midnight. ... read full review | report as inappropriate
Artist: Dock Boggs - (Audio CD) - 1998 ... more
Dock Boggs is the quintessential haunting and haunted banjo player and singer. When I first heard his music a decade ago I felt a shock of recognition that I've never experienced with ANY other musician, regardless of musical style. Perhaps... read full review | report as inappropriate
Very down home, not for the uninitiated.Hope to hear more but not at night alone in the dark read full review | report as inappropriate
Artist: Howlin' Wolf - (Audio CD) - 2002 ... more
Excellent disc all around - great sound quality, great selection of songs, dynamite guitar work and "signature sound" singing. When you listen to Wolf sing the Blues, you are getting the Real Deal as far as I'm concerned. When I listen to today's... read full review | report as inappropriate
i bought this cd and was very disappointed by a skip right at the beginning of "300pounds of heavenly joy". i exchanged it for a new one but it was the same. evidently they are all defective from the digital master. i've tried to contact... read full review | report as inappropriate
Artist: Karen Dalton - (Audio CD) - 1997 ... more
Just listen to the title song. This is woman out of her own time, and she feels it. She makes you feel it too. Forget the posers. Listen up. read full review | report as inappropriate
Having purchased and played the only other recorded effort by Karen Dalton (the equally forgettable one) in the early 70's I can say without any reserve that her voice is very difficult to listen to. Which is why she didn't record but 2 LP's.... read full review | report as inappropriate
Her best album was "In My Own Time" released around 1968 by Paramount. The cassette was PAC-6008. It was produced by Harvey Brooks and recorded at Bearsville and Mercury sound studios. The tracks were: Something On Your Mind When A Man... read full review | report as inappropriate
Artist: Odetta - (Audio CD) - 2000 ... more
This is an excellent compilation of Odetta's best stuff. The collection covers her years with Tradition Records to Vanguard Records. This will satisfy both the soulful, gospel fan, as well as as some folk legends such as Bob Dylan. read full review | report as inappropriate

Artist: Odetta - (Audio CD) - 1997 ... more
This CD represents Odetta's most important vanguard release; I can't believe that I appear to be the first to review this glorious album. I ordered this CD as soon as it became available. I have loved the original vinyl album for so... read full review | report as inappropriate
Artist: Howlin Wolf - (Audio CD) - 2003 ... more
One of my first exposures to the world of Chicago-style blues, after a steady dirt of country-style Delta blues, was the Rolling Stones' version of the Willie Dixon classic Little Red Rooster back in the early 1960's. I thought that was a song to... read full review | report as inappropriate
Look, I've always liked this album. In fact, it's how I got my first exposure to the inimitable Howling Wolf. But what's the deal with this reissue? I would love to repurchase this CD. The one I own is a first generation CD release and leaves... read full review | report as inappropriate
Artist: Muddy Waters - (Audio CD) - 2001 ... more
There are seminal moments in the arts when circumstances bring giants together in perfect alignment, and this album is one of them. The cast could never be better than the one contained herein, with the huge blues voice of Muddy Waters leading... read full review | report as inappropriate
Artist: Moodswings - (Audio CD) - 1992 ... more
From beginning to end, Moodfood by Moodswings takes one on an incredible journey. In my humble opinion, it is one of the best compilations of music ever produced. It is indeed, as the subtitle states: "Aural medication for tired minds." I have... read full review | report as inappropriate
This album really does sound quite dated. If I had heard it 20 years ago, when I was into Vangelis and Jon Anderson, I might perhaps have enjoyed it then. But now it just sounds repetitive and bland. I played it a couple of times trying to... read full review | report as inappropriate
I have to admit this album is a bit catchy. If you are into simple electronica, it's not bad. Just not very sophisticated. You cannot go by the samples on the system here - it is both a bit different (higher energy) and a bit lacking. I thought... read full review | report as inappropriate
Artist: John Fahey - (Audio CD) - 2003 ... more
'In a Persian Market', the first song on the album, starts out as a mixture of almost dissonant ragtime. An odd melody to put to country blues picking. And it goes through several phases. Don't be put off by the opening (or at least keep going... read full review | report as inappropriate
