V.A. - 1989 - Cool Playing Blues, Chicago Style [256]

The 15 songs on this compilation were left behind by Parrot Records' Al Benson, all cut during the mid-1950s. The music could have passed muster at Parrot's better-known Chicago rival Chess -- Jody Williams may have been Parrot's answer to Muddy Waters (Willie Dixon is even playing the bass), although his style was closer to an amalgam of B.B. King and T-Bone Walker. In addition to some established sides, this CD features one outtake, Groan My Blues Away, his only known workout on slide guitar. Guitarist L.C. McKinley and pianist Curtis Jones are also featured in numbers cut under their respective names, and St. Louis Jimmy Oden has two tracks represented here, backed by the Red Saunders Band, including a sultry version of his classic Goin' Down Slow. This and Murder In the First Degree are among the very last sides Oden is known to have recorded. Three obscure tracks by John T. Nature Boy Brown, a saxman and singer, close this extraordinary collection of little-known Chicago blues, which should impress any fan of Chess or Cobra Records (indeed, Parrot had a stronger roster than Cobra, based on what we hear here). The sound quality is generally very good, the only signifcant surface noise from a non-tape source coming up on the Oden sides, which still sound clean and very listenable.

Various Artists - 2003 - Darker Blues [256]

Much more than just a two-CD compilation of Fat Possum Records' roster of gritty, untapped blues artists, Darker Blues is also a handsomely produced hardbound book with over 100 pages of sumptuous photographs of Mississippi bluesmen by photographer David Raccuglia. This collection also features insightful bios and personal memories of each artist from the likes of Anthony DeCurtis, Robert Palmer, Barry Hannah and even Iggy Pop. Disc one features the haunting, harrowing music of older bluesmen such as Junior Kimbrough, T-Model Ford, Solomon Burke, Mississippi Fred McDowell and Robert Pete Williams, among others. And while it's primarily the older black artists from Mississippi that are featured on this rough-hewed disc, it also incorporates some of the label's newer white artists, such as Bob Log III, Kenny Brown and 20 Miles, which only proves you don't have to be a black sharecropper to have deep soul. Disc two features the eclectic, yet highly intoxicating shot-gun wedding of Mississippi bluesman R.L. Burnside's red, raw vocal growls and hypnotic guitar along with Mike E. Clark's hip-hop beats and turntable scratchings. While the seven never-before-released songs here aren't quite as exhilarating as Burnside's 1998 crossover hit album Come On In, they still reaffirm that the blues as a creative, artistic medium is far from starring down into it's own grave. INCLUDES 106 PAGES BOOKLET.

Cadillac Records stars Beyonce, Mof Def, Jeffrey Wright and Adrien Brody with the soundtrack featuring Beyonce, Mof Def, Columbus Short, Mary Mary, Raphael Saadiq, Solange, Little Walter and Nas with Olu Dara.

Phil focused on jazz while Leonard Chess honed in on roots music, making Chess the greatest repository of Black music at mid-century.
