5 out of 5 stars Essential.......2005-01-16

These 1941-1942 recordings are the only ones ever made of Eddie "Son" House playing with a band, and this 19-track disc collects all 15 songs originally issued on Biograph's "Delta Blues" album and adds four more tracks, none of which are sung by House ("Fo' Clock Blues", "Camp Hollers", an incomplete "Special Rider Blues", and the instrumental "Key Of Minor").

Folklorist Alan Lomax came to Mississippi in late August 1941, bringing with him a 300-pound "portable" disc-cutting machine, and cut five acetate masters - the first four tracks on this album plus "Delta Blues".
Now, these cuts may not quite match the power of House's ferocious 1930 Paramount recordings, but barely anything does, and these are tremendous recordings in their own right.
Perhaps the chatter of the other three musicians on the first three tracks, and the sound of Joe Martin picking his mandolin, dulls the raw intensity of Son House's music a little, but you can still hear why Muddy Waters was so much in awe of Son House, stating that "back where I came from, down in the Delta, Son House was the king!"

The 1941 recordings were cut in the back room of Clack's country store in Robinsonville by Lake Cormorant in Mississippi, with guitarist Willie Brown (another former playing partner of Charley Patton), "Fiddlin'" Joe Martin - who actually played mandolin - and harpist Leroy Williams. At one point, you can actually hear a train passing by outside.

The remaining numbers (which include a longer version of "The Jinx Blues") were cut the following summer, and on these tracks, House performs alone. This is where the power and intensity of House truly shines through, showcasing what an effective guitar player he really was. Son House may not have been Charlie Christian, but his loud, grinding, strongly rhytmic playing, filled with wailing slide riffs, was the perfect background for his huge voice and emotionally charged singing.

Among the highlights of this collection are "Delta Blues", superbly performed with only Leroy Williams backing House up, "Low Down Dirty Dog Blues" and "Depot Blues", which features some of the most impressive guitar playing House ever comitted to tape, "Walking Blues" (especially the 1941 version), and "The Jinx Blues", set to an effective shuffle beat. Just listen to the way House snaps his bass string against the fretboard!
This collection is one of the all-time great documents on early Delta blues. The sound is as good as can be expected, and this is a worthy testament to one of the most important figures in modern popular music.

5 out of 5 stars Son House is the real deal. Listen and learn.......2004-03-03

Son House taught Robert Johnson the slide blues. Son House taught Muddy Waters. When Son House started performing at Blues festivals again in the mid 1960s, some of Muddy's younger band members would start to go off for a smoke or whatever when the old man came on stage. Muddy wouldn't let them. Muddy Waters would tell all his band members to be quiet and pay attention when the man played because even compared with Muddy, this was the real deal.

Rediscovered in Rochester, New York, relearning to play the guitar, (how this country abuses the masters that come from its people, particularly its Black people), put back on the stage by the folk revival's blues section.

People outside of the blues life focus on the guitar playing or the rhythm of the singing, but where the power comes from is the feeling and the words that are put together, the life and the meaning of the blues. Son House in his youth and his old age, on this and his other sides, always gave it.

So Like Muddy Waters, I would like you to know that
Son House is the real deal.

5 out of 5 stars Son House, King of the Delta.......2002-09-13

Son House is the most important and influential Delta Bluesman to ever live he was a major influence to Muddy Waters & Robert Johnson and every one else including me. Buy this C.D. it is very essential stuff this is hardcore Delta Blues there are some trks with Son House in a band setting with Willie Brown and others (perfect example of what a DeltaBlues jam session probally sounded like). These are field recordings and I mean they were actually recorded outside on trk.4 "Shetland Pony Blues" you actually hear a steam locomotive (train) go buy in the background. If your a aspiring blues guitar player get this if your a fan of the Blues your C.D. collection is seriously lacking if this is not part of it. also get "Masters of the Delta Blues, The Friends of Charlie Patton" all of Son Houses earliest recorings are on there (1930) with some other Delta Blues Legends

5 out of 5 stars The Real Blues--Raw and Dirty.......2002-05-03

This collection is essential to any blues collection...you cannot truly appreciate the blues until you've heard these recordings.

Son House is my favorite blues performer. No one--not even his proteges Robert Johnson or Muddy Waters--could match him when it came to the raw emotion. Sure, Robert inspired later blues-rock giants like the Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Stevie Ray Vaughn (to name a few...) and Muddy revolutionized the blues by 'inventing' electricity. But this collection, when coupled with the album "The Complete Recorded Works of Son House & the Great Delta Blues Singers" (ASIN: B000000J26--recorded in 1930; another essential disc), offers the listener a true glimpse into history.

The first few tracks include House singing and playing guitar with his band: Willie Brown (who has since attained legendary status as his name is mentioned in Robert Johnson's lyrics; he was also was the central character in the 1986 movie "Crossroads") on harmonica, and Fiddlin' Joe Martin on mandolin. These songs are amazing. The only word I can use to describe House's slide guitar technique is FEROCIOUS. His mixture of slams and slaps, when combined with the shouts, moans, and grunts of his vocals, is nothing short of frightening. "Walking Blues"--which, of course, was a hit for both Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters but was written by House--is one particular standout. It is nearly seven minutes long (House is famous for his "epic" performances...in concert, his songs were known to exceed twenty minutes), a relentless barrage of blues. "Levee Camp Moan" is another strong point. The rhythms and shouts are incomparable.

Perhaps the best analogy is "a frontal assault on the soul".

The remaining songs are House's solo efforts, although the striking force has not deminished at all. In fact, they may be even more powerful--it's hard to believe that only ONE guy is singing...!

When House was rediscovered during the '60s blues revival, he recorded his first and only studio album in 1965 ("Father of the Delta Blues"--ASIN: B000002877) for the Columbia label. Most who have heard of Son House know him based on these recordings alone. There is no arguement that this is a magnificent album--the emotional quality has only increased with is age. But while the sound quality is definitely better than these early field recordings (mono recordings into a single microphone in the stockyard of a train depot--you can even hear railway sounds in the background!!), House's old age hindered the ferocity of his slide guitar playing, forcing his tempo to slow down. If you want to hear the true capabilities of the man who I think is the greatest bluesman who ever lived, you must listen to these Library of Congress recordings (and then check out "...and the Great Delta Blues Singers").

5 out of 5 stars Son House -- Library of Congress sessions.......2000-04-12

Son House has, arguably, the best blues voice, ever. (His rivals are his pupil, Robert Johnson, and BB King). This is his best album, ever. Great voice, great words, great guitar, and (on one cut) a train in the background. Recorded sound quality is adequate -- better than most for the period. This is one of the five or ten indispensible blues recordings of the twentieth century--Changed how I thought about music.

- Blues ain't nothin'but a lowsown shakin' chill, - If you ain't had them, I hope you never will.

5 out of 5 stars the BEST of all.......2003-09-17

This band is without a doubt one of the finest bands ever put together, Georgie Auld, Ray Connif, Hot Lips Page, Dave Tough, Steve Lipkins, Jerry Jerome, and ofcourse Artie. This was the best of all of Shaws bands - it swings like few others, plays some good romantic numbers, and even handles the pop-tunes well,
this is a great cd, and it's from the orchestra you here the least of.

5 out of 5 stars Light up, and enjoy some Glenn Miller.......2006-05-09

You can't beat the Glenn Miller Orchestra live over the airwaves with these discs. It takes you back to a time when you'd be listening to your entertainment center, a.k.a. the radio. Great atmosphere, fun verbal banter, pretty good sound quality and a great selection of rare and classic tunes. Highlight: A smokin' version of "Ida! Sweet As Apple Cider." Pick up volume one of the Chesterfield Shows as well. Light up and enjoy!

PS: One day, I hope to see a "radio broadcasts" box set of the great Glenn Miller Orchestra 1938/1942. There is so much to choose from, it would be a shame if the major record company fails to come through. Wouldn't it be lovely to have every song included in the box set, not every performance, but every song performed over the airwaves, it could easily be well over a hundred. Why there must be at least a couple dozen versions of "In The Mood" to choose from. All the classics like you've never heard them, different arrangements, extended solos and many times the radio performances were superior. A lot of the radio broadcasts created better sound quality. Then, there are all those great numbers that were never "officially" recorded, classics like, The Gentleman Needs A Shave, Georgia On My Mind, Hold Tight, The Jumpin Jive, Rockin Chair, When Paw Was Courtin Maw, The Jersey Bounce and list goes on and on. A real treasure is waiting for us Glenn Miller fans. But who has got the map?

        Colorful bandleader Lucky Millinder was on top of the world in 1941 and 1942. His multi-talented lineup in those years featured the likes of the noted jazz/R&B pianist and organist Bill Doggett as well as the great Dizzy Gillespie who many consider one of the greatest jazz trumpeters of all-time. Add to that gifted vocalists like Trevor Bacon and the legendary Sister Rosetta Tharpe and you have a recipe for some simply incredible music. "Lucky Millinder and His Orchestra: 1941-1942" features all of the great and diverse sounds emanating from the Millinder outfit in those days. This is one highly entertaining disc!
        Fans of gospel and R&B will certainly recognize the name of Sister Rosetta Tharpe. Rosetta was an exceptionally talented vocalist and an outstanding guitarist as well. She had launched her career in the 1930's and experienced remarkable success as a solo act. She joined Lucky Millinder's Orchestra in 1941 and the results were simply magic. You can sample a half dozen or so of Rosetta's incredible vocals on this disc including extraordinary tunes like "Rock Me", "I Want A Tall Skinny Papa" and "Shout Sister Shout". This is phenominal stuff folks! Likewise you can enjoy the vocal stylings of Trevor Bacon. His heartfelt rendition of
        the definitive World War II era tune "When The Lights Go On Again (All Over The World)" just might bring a tear to your eye. And jazz afficianados will certainly enjoy a pair of tunes featuring Dizzy Gillespie solos namely "Mason Flyer" and "Little John Special". Those who enjoy the swinging sounds of a great big band will find tunes like "Savoy" and "Apollo Jump" highly satisfying indeed! Now this collection features a pair of other World War II numbers. One of them, "We're Gonna Have To Slap The Dirty Little Jap (And Uncle Sam's The Guy Who Can Do It)" would certainly be considered hate speech today. However, this is a great period piece that most certainly reflects the emotionally charged period in which it was recorded. Very interesting!
        "Lucky Millinder and His Orchestra: 1941-1942" features 20 terrific tracks. I enjoyed them all. The sound quality is more than acceptable and the package does include a page of interesting liner notes. All in all, this one is a real find. Very highly recommended!

            5 out of 5 stars Power, rocking, real live hot blues.......2004-04-27

            Maceo and his accompaniest here Tampa Red were among the most popular blues musicians of all time. Tampa probably sold more blues records than any individual in the years between 1930 and the 1950s and influence everybody from Bob Johnson down to James Brown whom he actually gave guitar lessons to. Maceo's star burned up more quickly due to his health.

            Maceo's music adds the stronger stomping boogie sound that came out of the old Southwest (meaning Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, and Texas) to the great piano and guitar blues duet style developed by the great Leroy Carr and Scrapper Blackwell, a team that was probably the most important and imitated (even by Robert Johnson) blues players in history.

            Maceo has such power in both his playing and singing that you really are rocked by it. It puts so much feeling in there.
            When he sings "Can't you read, can't you read in your Bible" here, even though the song is a humorous novelty song, you feel sooo much musicial power.

            Tampa Red is no slouch. His slinky jangly but very clean slide playing is an education for those of you who identify slide with rough Mississippi juke styles.

            Maceo and Tampa here lead both backward to the great Leroy Carr and Scrapper Blackwell as well as forward to Otis Spahn a pianist with Muddy Waters and then on his own who said he would go listen to Maceo to learn how to play right.

            I have been listening to this first on LP, then on tape, and now on CD for about 30 years. After you hear this, you wont be satisfied going without it either.

            Major Merriweather, aka Big Maceo (March 31,1905-February 26,1953) may be the greatest blues piano player of all times with Montana Taylor.Born in Atlanta,he recorded 33 tracks between 1941 and 1947,and some more in 1952 with JOhn Brim.He was a colossus,a giant,and had a rough and smoky voice that was o,to me,one of the most beautiful voices in the history of blues.
            In these sixteen tracks,he teams with the amazing Tampa Red on guitar (Hudson Whittaker,1904-1981),maybe the greatest slide player of all times.Each tune is a gem;if you're listening to this album,or to the other one (Big Maceo 1945-1947),you'll find the same amount of masterpieces than when you listen to Robert Johnson's works.Tampa Red's slide guitar will fascinate you,I hope;Big Maceo's voice and piano will amaze you."Worried life blues","County jail blues","Texas blues",and many more, are masterpieces.Big Maceo had a prodigious technique,and he combined it with a very low down,traditionnal feeling.The combination of his piano playing with the imperial and almost hypnotic slide guitar of Tampa Red created the greatest team of blues players.15 of these tracks are at the same highest level,and "worried life blues" is surely one of the ten greatest things ever recorded in the blues field.Big Maceo's incredible playing will deeply inflence Otis Spann,Eddie Boyd,Litlle Johnny Jones and Henry Gray.And me.That's the kind of blues I try to play,even if I'm a poor piano player.Please,discover this music,and discover Big Maceo's 1945-47 works,you'll find an absolute masterpiece,an incredible piece of piano playing,"Chicago breakdown".

            5 out of 5 stars blues piano at its best........2000-02-19

            one of the most important blues pianists. this cd contains blues standard numbers, and maceo cooks those songs very differently than other blues musicians. generally speaking, maceo's sound is warm and cheerful. variety of riffs and phrases. enjoyable must have cd.

            5 out of 5 stars 7 stars!.......2000-01-23

            Big Maceo is overshadowed by Memphis Slim and Otis Spann. This CD manifests Maceo is one of the representatives of modern blues pianists. This man's piano makes people warm. I want to give 7 star for this CD.

            5 out of 5 stars One of the finest blues piano performances........1999-05-01

            Together with Otis Spann, Memphis Slim, Big Maceo has been one of the most influencial blues pianists. He performs blues piano very cheerfully just like B.B. King does on the guitar. The first song of this album, "Worried Blues" performed by other blues men such as James Cotton sounds very gloomy. But Big Maceo is the one who is able to play this song cheerfully and nicely. This is one of the most important blues albums for blues pianists. This CD contains many essential blues piano idioms, and very educational. 'Click'
