I can't express how much of a shock it is listening to this compilation. I got to them through Patto and my current fixation on Prog Rock.
This stuff isn't Prog Rock but it's fantastic stuff all the same- fresh, inventive and full of x-factor. It has a superb level of musicianship, great songs and more than my review can express. Why this didn't catch on I'll never know, but in a selfish way I'm proud I stumbled on them. Make sure you do too!!! >>More Details |

Wow! This guy is almost as good as Hendrix - and he's almost as good as Stevie Ray - and he does covers of some pretty good songs just as well as quite a few great players I've heard over the last 40 years - but....he doesn't bring anything new to the table. So what's the point?

Blues music enjoyed a mini-revival in the late 1980s owing to both the film 'Crossroads', and the dissatisfaction of a sizeable minority with contemporaneous popular music. Gary Moore, hitherto a performer of hard rock/heavy metal, exploited the mood with this motley collection of blues pastiches and hard rock songs. 'The blues' are, for the most part, transmogrified into 'the blands' - the raw, visceral nature of blues music is expunged, and a smooth, over-produced sound offered in its place.
The vocals of Gary Moore lack the passion, intensity and emotiveness of a blues performer, and the drone of his guitar suggests that he is more at home with his 1980s metal counterparts. The title track, the antithesis of blues music, epitomises ... Read More: >>More Details |

Having seen Bond's Holy Magick (1971ish) and having Colosseum and Spirit of John Morgan covers of his work in my collection, at this price I felt this was worth a try. Two days, two plays and I have to say I'm impressed. Originally released in 1970, the actual recordings appear to originate 1964-66ish, which only goes to show how forward thinking he was.
A well known and respected member of the original british underground blues scene, the various line ups of his band spawned at least two top class outfits, Baker and Bruce with Cream, while Hiseman and Heckstall-Smith formed Colosseum. Bond's music is much more jazz orientated than his contempories at the time (Korner & Mayall), and for any fans of Colosseum, this would be a good buy, ... Read More: >>More Details |

A collection of songs from one of the USA'S most underated bands. Apart from a few personal choices, the ommision of Day and Night is a major error. That said if you want a broad look at Little Feat this album will satisfy your curiosity. Llowell George slide guitar hits the spot and the rythmn section holds everything together. They deserved more fame than they got and on a good night there was no better live band around. >>More Details |

More AFBF material - this time from British concerts
Anyone interested in Blues will have to buy this one. I wasn't aware that the 1964 show was recorded in the UK although I suspected it might have been when a Sonny Boy clip surfaced on YouTube. The cheering that greets Howlin Wolf is extremely heartwarming - he then proceeds to lay down Smokestack Lightnin - unavailable anywhere else on film as far as I know - and Don't Laugh at Me. Lightnin Hopkins is in there too while Sugar Pie Desanto does a couple of spirited performances Also from 1964 (but not part of the AFBF series) are two songs apiece from Muddy Waters and Sister Rosetta Tharpe in the Blues and Gospel Caravan from a now-closed railway station in Manchester. Muddy's performances are some ... Read More: >>More Details |

This is the first time I've been moved to write a review, which says something about this band right away...
I've seen them twice at The Point in Cardiff (a great little venue by the way) - once supporting Robyn Ford (great artist, but unfortunately it just so happened he only played one of my preferred songs that night), and once supporting Devon Allman's Honeytribe (they were a bit hit and miss for me). I bought Open Road at the former gig (kindly signed by Oli), and it's been on permanent rotation since! For me, the Oli Brown Band really blew so many other acts out of the water - great sound, great guys (don't let their youth put you off in the slightest - there is a maturity in their style some oldies could only wish for) and great performers. ...

Why is it when you tell the common-or-garden Rod Stewart fan that their idol sings on two of Jeff Beck's finest albums, they look at you as if you're the village idiot?
Not that this album or 'Truth' need their sales to be increased by Rod's status in the band, but it's just that those people think you're having a laugh, when in fact you're trying to do them a favour. But never mind, it's their loss, and whilst Rod might be billed as 'vocalist extraordinaire,' he isn't the only 'name' on here, there's Ronny Wood and Nicky Hopkins, too; and Tony Newman was quite a well-renowned and straight-ahead rock drummer, too. If you're into rock music in general or British rock, then this will keep you more than happy. The original 7 track LP we bought year's ago ... Read More: >>More Details |

A welcome budget price collection by one of the most charismatic and influential blues artists of all time. Many of Wolf's best known numbers are here, commencing with 'How Many More Years' from his first session in 1951 in Sam Phillips' Memphis studio, and continuing through the 1954 to 1965 period with Chess Records. The material is licensed from MCA, and therefore in excellent sound quality, with stereo mixes being used on some of the later dates. Just reading the titles reveals that most of the essential tracks are present, including the ones that were to feature strongly in the white blues boom of the 1960s: 'The Little Red Rooster', 'Spoonful', 'Killing Floor', and the inevitable 'Smokestack Lightnin''.
Wolf's songs were notable for their innovative lyrics, ... Read More: >>More Details |
