Description: ROOTS N BLUES COLLECTION OF 11 CASSETTES STARTS WITH - THE RETROSPECTIVE 1925-1950 - FOUR CASSETTES - OVER FIVE HOURS OF MUSIC - OVER 100 LEGENDARY ARTISTS MANY AVAILABLE FOR THE 1ST TIME - 64 PAGE COLORED BOOK - COMPLETE TRACK ANNOTATIONS - ALL DIGITALLY REMASTERED BOX SET. In 1992, when this came out, there was nothing like it. Now, with the success of such items as the "Oh Brother..." soundtrack and the reissued "Anthology of American Folk Music," this set may get lost in the shuffle. I have most of the similar reissues, and I still think this is the best.First, it covers a wider timespan than the Smith "Anthology." This means it has both a few older songs, and several newer ones. Thus, this set has an early Bill Monroe song. This set also includes some things which weren't released on 78, so one of Muddy Water's first professional recordings is on here. (Don't believe the note that this was never released before, however. It came out on an Okeh Chicago blues record in the 1980s.) Though this set has only 4 cds to the Anthology's 6, the amount of music is about the same, because these four are filled, and the Anthology's 6 only have the equivalent of Smith's original 6 lps, and are therefore rather short by cd standards.One thing I find in reissue sets like this one is that some artists and some songs get rereleased over and over. This set does not fall into that trap. Rather, it has many little known artists, some of whom recorded only a handful of sides. Nevertheless, the songs here are almost universally wonderful, covering a wide (but not TOO wide) range of styles with wonderful performances.You won't find many of these records anywhere else, and the set has a terrific bunch of blues, gospel, string band, Cajun and other vernacular styles.

KING LIVE @ COOK COUNTY JAIL - COLLECTORS CASSETTE FROM 1980 MCA RECORDS A bona fide classic. B.B. King’s recorded a lot of incredible albums, but none of them are any better than Live In Cook County Jail. Feeding off the energy of the prisoners who are so moved by the bluesman’s appearance, King ratchets it up a few notches on this one. There may not be a better version of the all-time classic "The Thrill Is Gone." TRACK LISTINGS EVERYDAY I HAVE THE BLUES HOW BLUE CAN YOU GET WORRY WORRY WORRY MEDLEY - 3 O'CLOCKBLUES/DARLIN YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU SWEET SIXTEEN THE THRILL IS GONE PLEASE ACCEPT MY LOVE IKE & TINA TURNER'S COME TOGETHER HALLMARK UK PRESSED 15 TRACK RARE CASSETTE - Nice pressings of '60s and '70s material, including an interesting recut of the Spector-produced Classic COME TOGETHER."I Gotta Man" is, of course, a slight rewrite of "I Got A Woman (I Got A Sweetie)", well presented. As usual, Tina's vocal is intense, impassioned, and "real". By the way, for collectors, there's a terrific live version (c. 1971) on a Johnny Carson/The Tonight Show double-album of musical performances. "Good Good Lovin".This is Rock and R & B, if you will - not quite Rock, not quite Funk. Ten nice tracks for the casual listening of longtime fans and for the (new) listening of firstime fans.

This included a single various artists compilation, the last of their initial run. When the label returned to the album market eight years later, compilations were a good portion of the catalog.From 1988, LAY THAT NEW ORLEANS ROCK 'N' ROLL DOWN (SPS-2167) is SPECIALTY's very last vinyl LP.There are no charting singles here.RANDOM NOTES--Larry Williams served three years for a 1960 narcotics dealing conviction. His 1980 death at age 44 from a gunshot head wound was ruled a suicide, but many believed it a homicide.--Ernie K-Doe (Kadoe), whose big hit is "Mother-in-Law," is buried in a New Orleans cemetery next to his mother-in-law.--Female impersonator Bobby Marchan (Oscar James Gibson), a New Orleans club regular, was from Youngstown, OH.--Roy Montrell was primarily a session musician. Although not a chart success, his "Mellow Saxophone" has been widely covered.--In 1955, Edgar 'Big Boy' Miles joined bassist Li'l Millet's Creoles, a band that also featured tenor saxman Lee Allen of "Walkin' with Mr. Lee" fame.SIDE ONELay That Rock 'N' Roll Down - Ernie K-DoeJust to Hold My Hand - Big Boy Myles & the Shaw-WeesLittle Bea - Lloyd PriceYou Never Miss a Good Woman - Ernie K-DoeOooh-Whee Baby - Art NevilleBunny Hug - Bobby MarchanOooh-Wow! - Roy MontrellSIDE TWORock Around the Clock - Li'l MilletMy Commandments of Love - Bobby MarchanWho's Been Fooling You - Big Boy Myles & Shaw WeesDoomed to End This Way - Larry WilliamsSo Glad You're Mine - Ernie K-DoeHickory Dickory Doc - Big Boy MylesSweet Sue - Edgar Blanchard SEALED WITH CUT OUT IN CASE BUDDY GUY Try to Quit You Baby JEWEL/RONN RECORDS 1995 CASSETTE RELEASEBuddy Guy – Try to quit you baby 1.

Good Things THE BEST OF DELTA BLUES VARIOUS ARTISTS HALLMARK UK PRESSED CASSETTE - Best of the Delta Blues The Delta Blues style comes from a region in the southern part of Mississippi, a place romantically referred to as "the land where the blues were born." In its earliest form, the style became the first black guitar-dominated music to make it onto phonograph records back in the late '20s. Although many original Delta blues performers worked in a string-band context for live appearances, very few of them recorded in this manner. Consequently, the recordings from the late '20s through mid-'30s consist primarily of performers working in a solo, self-accompanied context. The form is dominated by fiery slide guitar and passionate vocalizing, with the deepest of feelings being applied directly to the music. Its lyrics are passionate as well, and in some instances remain the highest flowering of blues songwriting as stark poetry. The form continues to the present time with new performers working in the older solo artist traditions and style.
