Lonnie Johnson - The Original Guitar Wizard [2004] (4 x CDs)

Lonnie Johnson (1899–1970) was one of the most influential early guitarists in American music and moves through this set the same way he moved through his career, without drawing hard lines between styles. Born in New Orleans in 1899, he worked across blues, jazz, and popular song, shaping a guitar style built on single-note lines and clear, melodic phrasing. His recordings from the 1920s and 1930s, including sessions with Eddie Lang, show how early that approach was formed.

Issued in 2004 by Proper Records, this four-CD set gathers that material into a steady, unbroken flow. The guitar never dominates, but it is always present, moving around the vocal with a light, controlled touch. Notes are placed carefully, giving even the shorter tracks a sense of space.

As the discs unfold, the balance remains consistent. Vocals stay direct, almost conversational, while the guitar shifts between support and quiet lead. Other instruments appear, but they tend to frame the performance rather than redirect it.

What settles in over time is the continuity. Different sessions, slightly different settings, but the same tone and timing carry through. Left to play, the set feels less like a compilation and more like a single voice held in place, measured, clear, and never needing to reach beyond its own line. (B)

VA - Relaxation Blues (A Butterboy Compilation) (4 x CDs)

BLUES

VA - Relaxation Blues (A Butterboy Compilation) (4 x CDs)

Relaxation Blues gathers four discs of music shaped by tone, touch, and the emotional weight carried in unhurried phrases. Across eighty tracks and nearly a century of recordings, the set reveals a quieter lineage of the blues, one where expression is measured, space is intentional, and the listener is invited into the room rather than pushed back from it.

CD1: Early Evening Ease lays the foundation. These are the warm lights‑on performances: Charles Brown’s velvet phrasing, Percy Mayfield’s late‑night poise, Memphis Slim’s steady left hand, and the early electric glow of Otis Rush, Magic Sam, and Earl Hooker. The tempos are relaxed, the tones clean, the emotions direct. Even when the Chicago players lean into intensity, the fire is contained, shaped, and deeply human. It’s the sound of the day settling, the first exhale after the door closes behind you.

CD2: Late Night Glow widens the frame. Instrumentals drift like smoke, “Albatross,” “Samba Pa Ti,” “Cloudy Day”, while the modern players bring a reflective edge that never breaks the mood. The blues becomes expansive here, stretching into soul, jazz, and spacious guitar landscapes. The room feels larger, the lights dimmer, the emotional palette deeper.

CD3: Midnight Atmosphere moves inward. This is the most intimate disc: SRV’s “Lenny,” Kelly Joe Phelps’ dusty fingerpicking, Jeff Beck’s sculpted phrasing, Otis Taylor’s hypnotic pulse. The playing is close‑mic’d, tactile, almost private. It’s music built on touch — the kind that rewards quiet rooms and late hours.

CD4: Deep Night Drift brings the journey home. Snowy White, Gary Moore, Robin Trower, and Roy Buchanan offer long, expressive lines that feel like conversations held after midnight. The tempos ease, the tones soften, and the set lands in a place of calm resolve. It’s the final glow before silence, a slow fade into the blue hour.

These four discs form a space the listener can return to again and again, not for spectacle, but for presence. Relaxation Blues gathers performances where feeling is carried in the grain of a voice, the bend of a note, the hush between phrases. It’s a collection that rewards stillness, deepens with familiarity, and lingers long after the last track fades. In these hours of music, the blues becomes a companion for the quieter parts of life, steady, honest, and endlessly human. (B)

BLUES

VA – Plug It In! Turn It Up! Part 1 to Part 4 [1939-2005] (12 x CDs)

A set like Plug It In! Turn It Up! Electric Blues The Definitive Collection tends to reveal itself slowly, not through any single disc but through the way it settles across all four volumes. Twelve CDs in total, issued as a connected series, it gathers electric blues recordings from the point where amplification begins to reshape the music, and follows that current forward without forcing it into a strict narrative.

It helps to dip in rather than start at the beginning. A track built around a sharp, overdriven guitar line leads into something looser, then into a groove that leans more on rhythm than melody. Across the set, that balance keeps shifting. Early recordings still carry the structure of acoustic blues, just pushed through an amplifier. As the discs move forward, the sound thickens. Bands tighten, rhythms become more insistent, and the guitar begins to take a more central role.

Names come and go, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Elmore James, not as isolated highlights but as part of a wider field of players working within the same language. The sequencing keeps them grounded in that shared space, rather than lifting any one performance above the rest.

What gives the series its shape is accumulation. Repeated patterns, familiar chord movements, and variations in tone begin to connect across discs. A riff heard early on reappears later in a different form, a rhythm returns with more weight behind it. The differences are there, but they sit within a consistent approach.

Heard across multiple sittings, the set feels less like a history lesson and more like a long current of sound. The details shift, the energy rises and falls, but the core remains steady, one amplified voice following another, carrying the same idea forward without needing to resolve it. (B)
