Classic, powerful Muscle Shoals Rhythm Collective - backed blues & soul vocals by Jimmy Hall, lead singer of WET WILLIE, with Brit Rocker Jeff Beck and "hard country" legend Hank Williams jr. (cdbaby)

This is some real good blues (rockin blues). This is the one that will get you laid on your first date with the girl you've been chasin' if you work it right. Bottle of good wine, a fire (even an outdoor fire), a nice chick and this CD - you're gonna get lucky tonight baby. I know the flagship piece is "Build Your Own Fire" but that "Salty" is the freeqin BOMB! Salty is the icing on the chick-cake because it gets down there and tickles your, more importantly her, love-juice gems. Get the CD and Keep on Smilin'. Try it on the Weekend and you got a Street Corner Serenade. (Rick Truelove)

AMG Review by Michael B. Smith

Hot on the heels of Volume I, Blue Hat Records has released Volunteer Jam: Classic Live Performances: Volume II, another fine collection of great music taken from the archives of past Volunteer Jams.

The set opens with Wet Willie tearing it up with "Street Corner Serenade" and moves full speed ahead, locomotive-like, into the Charlie Daniels Band's "Trudy": two subtle reminders that these are the very best performances available from the classic Volunteer Jams. Dobie Gray pulls off a stellar rendition of "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down," and Jimmy Hall leaves Wet Willie behind to jam with the L.A. Reflection Section, rocking through the Jackie Wilson hit "Higher and Higher" with all the soul and passion you'd expect from Hall. Next up is one of the unusual parings that has helped to make the Volunteer Jams such special events. Ted Nugent joins the Charlie Daniels Band and the L.A. Reflection Section to rock & roll through "Oh, Carol." Louisiana's Leroux perform their biggest hit, "New Orleans Ladies," and Willie Nelson cranks out the immortal "Good Hearted Woman" at breakneck speed. Delbert McClinton brings the funk back out onto the stage with "Standing on Shaky Ground," and the set closes out with "Do the Funky Chicken" featuring Rufus Thomas, the CDB, Al Kooper and the L.A. Reflection Section.

With a vault full of these timeless recordings, we can only hope that Charlie Daniels and Blue Hat will see fit to release even more as time goes on.

AMG Review by Michael B. Smith:

Charlie Daniels has pooled together some of the finest moments from Volunteer Jams past to create a historical document of vast importance. Beginning with an all star blow-out on "Can't You See," featuring Toy Caldwell and Paul T. Riddle, along with Papa John Creach, Grinderswitch, Bonnie Bramlett, Wet Willie, Chuck Leavell and the Charlie Daniels Band, the disc explodes with a pool of talent that provides a literal encyclopedia of Southern rock heroes. Jimmy Hall of Wet Willie blows a power soaked blues harp, backed by the guitars of Dru Lombar, Toy Caldwell and Charlie Daniels. Next up is a smoking take on "Statesborro Blues" from Sea Level, accompanied by Jimmy Hall on harp once again and Charlie Daniels on guitar. Hall's vocals soar, and Daniels shows that the fiddle is not his only instrument. Willie Nelson treats the audience to a medley of three of his hits, including "Funny How Time Slips Away," "Crazy" and "The Night Life," all accompanied by the red hot guitar work of Caldwell. The sounds are as exciting as they were in the '70s, and Caldwell's understated lead work begins to move toward the forefront by the third song, with unmistakable Toy riffs dominating the track. So sweet. Ted Nugent steps out in front of Molly Hatchet to burn through the core of the classic Mountain song, "Mississippi Queen," with fire and fury, and Grinderswitch rocks through "Lady Luck." Papa John Creach, the legendary fiddle player for Jefferson Airplane and Hot Tuna, tears through "Down Home Blues" accompanied by the Charlie Daniels Band and the horns of the L.A. Reflection Section, and Wet Willie is joined by Richie Cannata on their biggest ever hit, "Keep on Smilin'."

All you have to do is close your eyes, and suddenly you feel transported back to 1977. Closing the CD out is Daniels and his band, joined by Hall, with their tribute to Southern rockers everywhere, "The South's Gonna Do It." Taz DeGregorio plays an extended piano run, and the rest of the CDB show their stuff as well. Hall blows one of his powerhouse sax solos, and the crowd goes wild. They always go wild at the Volunteer Jams. For everyone who ever attended a Volunteer Jam or for anyone who ever attended a Southern rock concert during the genre's peak years of 1972-1979, this is an album you will not want to miss. For those who just plain enjoy good rock & roll and jamming, this one's for you too. It doesn't get much better than this.

Album Notes:

Remember the high school parties when you would bring a stack off 45s and take turns showin1 off the newest off your records? We'd walk into friends' houses carrying record cases filled with three-minute doses off soul and rock & roll. Telarc had just that in mind when it invited Tommy Castro, Lloyd Jones, and Jimmy Hall to a studio party. The rules were simple: just bring your ax, a stack off your favorites, and producer Randy Labbe would supply the rest. What no one ever expected was how effortlessly these musicians would mesh together.

Tommy Castro came to the party play in' his high powered, "let's party" guitar, bathed in modernistic leather pants. Lloyd Jones brought a finger-snappin' guitar approach dressed in a stylish coat and tie. Jimmy Hall, formerly a mainstay in the R&B-influenced southern rock band Wet Willie, added his blue-eyed soul vocals, a blues rock-influenced harmonica and growling tenor.

This is a joyous celebration of the soul music and blues that have been at the core off each performer's musical life-direction. That sweet soul foundation is steeped in pure, unadulterated reverence. Though Castro, Jones, and Hall handle all the vocals, guitars, harp and horn, the supporting musicians, Reese Wynans, Tommy Shannon, and Chris Layton, aka Double Trouble, are an all-star lineup with their own deep roots in this traditional musical genre.

Years ago, Sun Records experimented with blue-eyed soul, blues, R&B, and country 'tonk. As the years passed, each style developed independently of the other. This is an effort to bring these styles back to the studio and mix them up again making a fresh music that recalls yesterday and yet has the inventive spirit and boldness of today.

Each song is a reminder of how important this gripping music was to us all in the past. When Tommy Castro learned that Double Trouble would be the rhythm section, he chose the Johnny Winter chestnut "Be Careful With a Fool" because Shannon was Winter's original bassist on this song long ago. Castro's piercing blues guitar blasts with red hot heat as it darts in and out of the lyrics. When he calls in Hall's dirty harp, the highly charged tension and release show off stripped down, early winter blues rock at its best.

Ever wonder what a classic Beatles song turned upside down would sound like? Wait until you hear Lloyd Jones' startling recreation off the Lennon-McCartney classic, "Help." Instead of buckling under a sound-alike, Jones drives the song into uncharted waters with inspirational class.

Mixed in this stew are some spicy R&B morsels like James Brown's kinetic "Good Lovin'." The guitar work is lean and penetrating with Hall's tenor sax squawking on this tour de force piece off nostalgia. The joy one hears in these three voices together on the chorus comes across like three adolescent soul brothers drivin' the car on the strip and blastin' the Godfather off Soul on the radio.

Amid these few covers, each musician wrote songs to suit the approach of the recording. The originals display how accurately each knows his genre. The soul-styled songs "Love Will," "Midnight to Daylight," and "If That Ain't Love" were written by Jimmy Hall. Lloyd Jones brought along the more roadhouse rocker "Sometimes" and the song "Raised in the Country." Which left Tommy Castro the task of bringing a song to show off a funky Philly soul strut on "Whole Lotta Soul."

Songs like "Raised in the Country" accent the good times this trio had in these sessions. From Layton s gentle shuffle to Jones' fluid blue-picked guitar to the vocal egging-on by Castro and Hall, it's not hard to visualize the fun they had during the recording session. The late-night, deep blue soul on Jimmy Hall's gem "Midnight to Daylight" perfectly recreates that nostalgic last dance just before the house lights had to be turned on. It jogs your memory and recalls vivid pictures of couples slowly gyrating wrapped in each other's arms. Hall's sexy tenor solo only strengthens the memories of times long for¬gotten. Hall's other soul sparkler is the funkified "Love Will."

At the end of the session, a jam session was in order. For fifteen minutes, Shannon and Layton laid out a chest thumpin', funky groove. Jimmy Hall started improvising the words, Jones began to jam over the groove, and "Cold Funk" was born. The tape on that conversation could have run all night.
