Doc Watson As Blues Musician.......2005-06-22

These 17 tracks are drawn from ten albums Doc Watson recorded for Vanguard and Sugar Hill between 1964 and 1998. It is somewhat curious that while Watson recorded eleven albums for Sugar Hill, only four tracks from three of those albums are included here. Perhaps it is because the compilers are selecting the songs to showcase Watson's skills as a country blues artist.

On a handful of these songs, Watson performs solo, like on "Sitting on Top of the World," "My Little Woman, You're So Sweet," "Georgia Buck" and "Anniversary Blues." In addition to being an accomplished guitar picker, Watson is a fine banjo player. He performs solo on the opener "Country Blues." He also plays harmonica on the instrumental "Rain Crow Bill."

On most of the rest of the tracks, he is accompanied by his son Merle, who was a fine guitar player and banjo picker in his own right. [Tragically, Merle was killed in a farming accident in 1985.]

Most of these songs are traditional, but Watson also covers songs by the Delmore Brothers ("Gambler's Yodel"), Jimmie Rodgers ("Anniversary Blues") and Mississippi John Hurt (Spikedriver Blues"), the latter a showcase for Merle's guitar prowess.

All told, this is a very satisfying album and a terrific introduction to one aspect of Doc Watson's career. [Playing Time - 46:14] VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Doc & his guitar..........2003-09-14

This album has that nice warm bluegrass feeling to it, with some cuts recorded to live audience (though they sound as clear as studio), that makes it sound like you've had this album for ages. Above all, I love Doc's guitar playing. It's bluesy, and yet goes beyond the standard 12 bar progression. If you've never heard Doc play, clapton on unplugged sounds somewhat similar. Not all of the songs on this albums are absolute gems, but those that are (sittin on top of the world, man that song is awesome, or deep river blues) make up for everything.

Mississippi-born blues singer and guitarist William Lee Conley Broonzy had two fairly distinct careers, each of them triumphant and influential. In the 1930s, he brought the rural blues of his Delta homeland to Chicago and added elements of jazz and hokum to create a more sophisticated, urbane, exciting style, essentially helping to pave the way for the Chicago blues sound. By the 1950s, when the electric Chicago sound he helped foster began to blossom, Broonzy had all but left that style behind. Instead, he began to perform traditional folk songs (and the occasional topical original) with only his voice and acoustic guitar and he became a key figure in the burgeoning folk boom. This highly appealing set comes from the latter period and finds him to be a scintillating and smooth vocalist, one capable of generating great emotion without losing his polish. His guitar work is subtly brilliant as well, a silky blend of single-note runs, forceful bends, tricky double stops, and articulate chords. It all comes together in effortless, unassuming fashion. --Marc Greilsamer

Broonzy's acoustic best.......2002-12-24

This "Trouble In Mind" compilation from the Smithsonian is the best collection of Broonzy's later period acoustic work. I think this is a better collection than the other 'best of' compilation ("Absolutely The Best" on Varese Records). The remastering on these tracks is excellent and they are the best sounding recordings of Broonzy I have ever heard. The songs here are all of his classics. The only thing that's disappointing is that they left off the track "Never Satisfied", which would have made this the ultimate collection of Broonzy acoustic blues songs. Highly recommended!

Complete album.......2002-03-09

I preferBig Bill's acoustic work over his electric work. This is a collection of acoustic songs from the last years of his life. He sings blues, folk, protest songs, gospel...all of that in this great collection. Extensive liner notes and the printed lyrics and notes for every song makes this CD a true gem. Includes some live recordings as well.

A great cornerstone to start a blues collection.......2001-04-26

Smithsonian Folkways did a great job capturing the essence of Big Bill Broonzy's sound. I've heard other albums and this is my favorite. The music is taken at the latter half of his career and establishes Broonzy as a master of the country blues/folk sound. A great album any blues fan should own.

BIG BILL IS THE MAN!.......2000-05-11

I just recived my copy of this Cd in the mail today. I've now played it 6 times straight through. Big Bill was brilliant! Great Voice and Terrific guitar. I highly recommend this and any other Big Bill Disc you can get your hand's on. He was a rare and under appreciated Talent! Muddy Waters thought enough of Big Bill to record an entire lp of his songs.

A deep pool of goodness.......2005-08-06

Archie Shepp's best known records could be described as 'important'. This album is not similarly important in a political sense, nor in the sense that it charts new territory for jazz music. It is however a beautiful record.

It's easy to imagine Mr. Shepp and Mr. Parlan playing these songs after a typical fiery gig at four am with chairs on tables as their only audience, aside from a lone broom-wielder. It's a romantic idea, but not any more romantic than the music on this album. Archie Shepp's usual tendency towards pyrotechnics and avant-adventures makes this album's sparce no nonsense treatments of gospel standards that much more fascinating.

While a survey of Mr. Shepp's discography will quickly reveal that he was well versed in all jazz idioms, it's nonetheless remarkable to hear him confining himself to a much earlier set of styles than those which made him (or he made) famous (see Four for Trane, Live in San Fransico, Fire Music). Here it's Ben Webster that comes across as the primary influence (he is more himself -albeit restrained- on soprano), and Mr. Shepp demonstrates that he is very comfortable in this idiom, without sounding derivative.

That Horace Parlan would make a record like this is less surprising, and on some tracks he serves to rein Mr. Shepp in when he seems to be at risk of overstepping the bounds of the traditional songs. This push and pull between the players makes for an interesting record. One that both those who love, and those who can't stand Mr. Shepp's better known records, will find enjoyable.

Carved in granite.......2003-04-26

Shepp, who is also a playwright, brings an immense sense of dramatic gesture to jazz. There is no finer statement of the blues rhetoric than "Backwater Blues" on this CD, and no saxophone notes were ever more dignified, carved out of rock than those on 'St James Infirmary.' The soprano playing (more or less every other track) is also powerful and individual. Horace Parlan (piano) is a marvel of elegant, dignified rhythmic balance, on this as on "Goin' Home," making these two wonderful additions to the jazz duet library. It is great to see these titles on www.Amazon.com, where their absence for several years really made one wonder.

Terrible Sound.......2001-03-31

Texas songster Mance Lipscomb was one of the great discoveries of the 1960s folk blues revival. Born in 1895, he was not recorded until 1960, after which he cut a number of albums for Arhoolie. He was a great guitarist with an enormous repertoire, from childrens' songs through popular dance tunes to hard Texas blues numbers, and his recordings should be in the collection of any blues fan.

However, this 1964 album should be avoided. The main drawback is the dire sound quality - an excessively echoey acoustic (which makes the album sound as if it was recorded inside a grain silo) plus a harshness alien to Lipscomb's style.

King Curtis.......2006-09-12

King Curtis had been making records since 1953 in the r&b and jazz fields when he cut this album for Tru-Sound in 1961 - his first vocal outing. He sings in a very clear, church-inflected, tenor voice, very reminiscent of Ray Charles; fortunately he's got his saxophones with him, too. The best vocal tracks are TROUBLE IN MIND, a Richard M. Jones song from the `20s, which Curtis takes way downhome; NOBODY KNOWS YOU WHEN YOU'RE DOWN AND OUT, which also has a fine Al Casey guitar solo; and AIN'T NOBODY'S BUSINESS, where he's at his most Ray Charles-like. A female vocal trio is added to little effect on three tracks, but Mac Pierce's slashing guitar style and Paul Griffin's Red Garland-influenced piano playing are impressive. The album's highlight, without doubt, is the slow, 8-minute blues instrumental DEEP FRY, with Curtis's wailing alto and Griffin's piano spotlighted. King Curtis is a pleasant enough blues vocalist, but his forte is still blowing that saxophone, whether tenor or alto (he plays both here, though only credited on alto).

Mournful and mostly instrumental.......2007-02-17

I haven't seen the movie but I bought this album because Marianne Faithfull is one of my favourite female vocalists. The music is provided by the Raincity Industrial Ensemble consisting of Mask Isham on Trumpet, saxophone and electronics, Pee Wee Ellis on saxophone, Kurt Wortman on percussion and Peter Maunu on guitar.

The title track by Faithfull is slow and melancholy, almost suicidal, with beautiful sax and keyboards. Pleasure In Old Sufferings is a sad synth excursion while To Forget For A Moment has some interesting electronic sounds and Members Only is an uptempo number, a welcome change amongst the mostly slow tracks. A Matter Of Conflict (Trouble In Mind ) is briefly reprised by the inimitable M Faithfull.

Halves Of A Dream is a mournful instrumental whilst Confidence In Old Sufferings is a short uptempo track. Intimacy sounds quite ominous with its strange synths and muffled voices, very similar to the next one, By Way Of Preparation. The Hawk (El Gavilan), written by Kris Kristofferson and sung by Faithfull, is dreamy and evocative with lovely sax. The music is ocassionally haunting but not particularly memorable. But if you're a Faithfull fan, it might be worth it for the three vocal tracks.
