    Sara Evans - Real Fine Place

    [IMG]Http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000B5QWNS.01._AA240_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg[/IMG]

    99% of the folks on this forum would have absolutely no use for this CD (in fact I'm probably the 1%). That's OK. I'm a sucker for Southern women....and I like the music. I tend to stare at the album cover as I listen which enhances the "experience".

    I personally like Sara Evans. Though I sometimes tend to get her confused with Teri Clark when I hear them on the radio.

    Dummy by Portishead. Since I got my LSi9s I have been listening to almost nothing except trip-hop, music I had never gotten into before. It's like rediscovering music all over again.

    Maria Muldaur - S/T
    1973 - Reprise 2-2148, LP

    B000002KBZ.01._AA240_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg

    Most excellent, as it was new 33 years ago--before a young pianist named Mack Rebennak became "Dr. John". Also featuring Ry Cooder and Clarence White with rock solid drumming by Jim Keltner.

    Albert King - I Wanna Get Funky
    Stax 1974, CD

    B000000ZJF.01._AA240_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg

    Arguably his last great studio album, he does just what the title sets out to do. His tone is amazing with no sense of attack. It's like he has a bagpipe full of wildcat growl and is squeezing it out.

    The rendition of his "Crosscut Saw" on this album is solidly in the top 10 of my blues favorites. It begins with a Memphis soul vibe and a new backbeat that instantly grabs you. Half way through the jam he urges the band to "do it like we did back in 1965" and they seamlessly change the beat to that of the original recording (and every cover I've ever heard) for a few measures. Then he yells "I wanna go back to the top" and, without missing a beat he has your **** shaking again and your foot tapping smoothly back in the funk.

    As the man often said himself: "If the blues don't grab you, you got a hole in your soul." Grab this one for your collection and never look back.

    Staying funky with...

    Albert Collins - Cold Snap
    1986, Alligator ALCD4782

    B0000009YL.01._AA240_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg

    One of Albert's most listenable albums. It really showcases his guitar and vocal stylings in an excellently produced, 9-cut session. Jimmy McGriff keeps the funk anchored with tastey B-3 runs and fills. Solid!

    1. Cash Talkin' (The Workingman's Blues)
    2. Bending Like A Willow Tree
    3. A Good Fool Is Hard To Find
    4. Lights Are On But Nobody's Home
    5. I Ain't Drunk
    6. Hooked On You
    7. Too Many Dirty Dishes
    8. Snatchin' It Back
    9. Fake I.D.

    Blues for a rainy morning.....

    Albert Collins - Don't Lose Your Cool
    1983, Alligator ALCD4730

    B0000009XW.01._AA240_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg

    Hands down my favorite of Albert's four Alligator works. He grabs his Texas juke joint roots and blends them with the Kansas City blues sound he mastered in the mid-60's and West Coast funk.

    The SQ of this album is stellar and allows his unique guitar tuning and non-standard blues riffs to leap out at you. Abb Locke and Dino Spells weave tenor and alto sax wonderfully into these fine arrangements. Larry Burton's rhythm guitar work is the perfect compliment to the Ice Man's lead.

    1. Get to Gettin'
    2. My Mind Is Trying to Leave Me
    3. Broke
    4. Don't Lose Your Cool
    5. When a Guitar Plays the Blues
    6. ... But I Was Cool!
    7. Melt Down
    8. Ego Trip
    9. Quicksand

    Ken Saydak - Foolish Man
    1999, Delmark DE-725

    simg_t_md39405bw59mjpg175

    Ken showcases his prowess as a front man and takes you on a journey through deep blues, swing, New Orleans gumbo and their honky tonkin' cousins. A totally entertaining album.

    Buddy Guy - Stone Crazy
    1981, Alligator ALCD 4723

    simg_t_oc556266425e.jpg

    I was fortunate enough to catch Buddy live at the old Checkerboard Club in South Chicago at about the time this album was cut. I was blown completely away. And, this album brings back all the memories of his intensity on the guitar, his bawling vocals tinged with a trailing sweetness, and his utter COMMAND of the blues.

    There are no big name guest artists or fancy arrangements in this tight, six cut studio set recorded in France. Just Buddy's touring band of the era which included his brother Phil on guitar, bassist J.W. Williams, and drummer Ray Allison. He's done an amazing body of work in the nearly 30 years that have passed. But, I still want to hear him just go stone crazy again like this.
