I bought the CD after first buying the DVD , and would heartily recommend both. As a fan since the 70's , I can say that not all Paul's work since has been top notch , but certainly this effort rolls back the years to rival some of the best live performances I've heard. The album features 6 from 8 of the original album Free Live from 1971 , with the remainder dating mainly from the Bad Company era and beyond. My personal fave is "Ride on a Pony" which betters the original.
Overall , I think anyone familiar with his work will not find this collection disappointing. >>More Details |

Music from Big Pinkby: The Band September 11, 2000 Best Selling > Music > Blues |

I bought this cd as its regarded by many as being influential on rock genres that were to follow. While there are a few decent tracks here, the bulk of the album is pretty mundane. I can see where U.S bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd may have been influenced, but 1968 releases by Cream, Moody's, Tull, Zep etc are far superior, both in material and musicianship and would form more of a basis this side of the pond.
Ok for occasional plays hence 3 stars only. >>More Details |

I was hesitant about buying this new album of Otis Taylor's because I'm not a big fan of the banjo as an instrument but I so enjoyed his "Double V" and "Definition of a Circle" albums that I decided to see if he could bring his gorgeous version of the blues to an album dominated by an instrument I'm not too keen on.
Many of the songs on the album, understandably, are dominated by the banjo and I'm afraid I'm not really that keen on them - personal taste really - even if Otis tries hard to make them bluesy. The opening of the album is particularly affected, with the first three tracks all being ones that displease me. After this banjo-heavy opening, Otis begins to mix in other instruments and more variety into the arrangements and the songs ... Read More: >>More Details |

This is the band Imelda may used to be with before her solo debut with Love Tattoo. If you like that, or you saw her on Jools Holland and want more then look no further..Love Tattoo

an album which leaves you with mixed feelings, unlike Joan's previous albums, which are full of rich memorable melodies. Into The Blues is a much more uncompromising album.
What makes the album particularly bluesy is the liberal use of a vocal style in the vein of Muddy Waters ( mannish boy ) and John Lee Hooker ( repeticious lyrical talk). There are some knockout tracks , and others that just didn't work for me, but there is some very smooth bluesy guitar splashed around all over the album, and most people will love this. There are quite a few archetypal blues/rock riffs a la Status Quo but with a few unexpected twists - eg on Liza, one of the best tracks, there is a variation on the normal expected chord change which sounds dischordant because the voice ...

You would think that songs from the 1970s would sound a little dated by now; but then you wouldn't be talking about Elkie Brooks' Pearls, the CD that gave me a heads up 30 years ago and which recently made me rediscover her on CD (now that I had nothing on which to play my original vinyl copy).
Her gravelly voice goes so well with the words, which will get you sobbing into your glass of Beaujolais if you are in the least bit emotional. If you don't know of Elkie Brooks' music then this is the CD to buy first. >>More Details |

Shine Eyed Mister Zenby: Kelly Joe Phelps July 12, 1999 Best Selling > Music > Blues |

A chance encounter at a record fair talking to a guy about Richard Thompson and Sonny Landreth. He suggested KJP as the equal of the above! What impertinence! HE WAS RIGHT. Sheer brilliance. "River Rat Jimmy" is one of those haunting songs that live with you - surely, surely.

As far as I'm concerned, other than 'Brown Sugar,' you may as well throw the second disc away, or use it to keep your mug of tea on.
But... the first disc is so astoundingly, damned good, that you really don't care! >>More Details |

Good to see this has finally been remastered and the extra songs are welcome. One thing I cannot understand though is No Quarter has been edited from the original version, the previous release was 12:30 in length, this version is around 2 minutes shorter with obvious cuts in the mid-song jam section. Why on earth would you re-master an original and then cut sections of a song out?

Of all his live concert performances, Jimi at Monterey should be an essential part of any Hendrix fans collection. Woodstock? Moments of brilliance in an overlong and under rehearsed set. Isle of Wight? Not perhaps as horrible as they say but still, Hendrix at a physical and creative low ebb. Monterey captures Jimi at an ascendant point in his career. He'd left America a few months earlier, as Jimmy James, an unknown struggling musician, and now he was coming back as the cause celebre of London's music scene, having been embraced by everyone from the Beatles and the Stones, to Eric Clapton and the Who.
This was Jimi's chance to make a name for himself in the land of his birth and he took it with the same sense of purpose of a wannabe taking the stage at talent night at the Apollo. His set ... Read More: >>More Details |
