VA • Instro Inferno Vol 1 - 7

Tal vez no haya compilado más ecléctico, estrambótico, bizarro y a la vez maravilloso, que estos 7 volúmenes con un total de 238 temas recopilados por un tal J.R. Williams, que ademas se dedica a comics y trabajos gráficos, cosa que se visualiza en sus portadas. El espectro de artistas va desde conocidos como Bo Diddley, The Ventures o Eddie Cochran hasta los "unknown artist". Es invalorable esta colección ya que muchos de estos temas sólo fueron lanzados en simple y no han sido re-editados.

Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, Bo Diddley ‎• The Super Super Blues Band

 

This is easily a "super super blues bust." Power trios, of course, were hip in the late '60s -- even at down-home Chess Studios, where ad hoc "supergroups" were assembled for 1967's Super Blues and its sequel, Super Super Blues Band. (No one ever accused Chess Records of being subtle.) The band on Super Super Blues Band included two-thirds of the original Super Blues headliners -- Muddy Waters and Bo Diddley -- with Howlin' Wolf replacing Little Walter to round out the trio. Unlike Walter, who was willing to cede the spotlight to Diddley and Waters on Super Blues, Wolf adamantly refuses to back down from his rivals, resulting in a flood of contentious studio banter that turns out to be more entertaining than the otherwise unmemorable music from this stylistic train wreck. Although Wolf and Waters duke it out in earnest on the blues standards, the presence of Diddley (and his rave-up repertoire) makes the prospect of an ensemble impossible; in the end, there are just too many clashing ingredients (the squealing "girlie" choruses vs. Wolf's growl, Diddley's space guitar antics vs. Waters' uncompromising slide guitar) to make the mix digestible. Meanwhile, as the three frontmen struggle to outduel each other on every song, they drown out an underused, all-star backing band made up of Otis Spann on piano, Hubert Sumlin on guitar, Buddy Guy on bass, and Clifton James on drums. At least it sounds like they had fun doing it.

///////

Esto es fácilmente un "busto de súper súper azules". Los tríos de poder, por supuesto, estaban de moda a finales de los 60... incluso en los estudios de ajedrez caseros, donde se reunían "supergrupos" ad hoc para el Super Blues de 1967 y su secuela, Super Super Blues Band. (Nadie acusó a Chess Records de ser sutil.) La banda de Super Blues Band incluía dos tercios de los titulares originales de Super Blues -- Muddy Waters y Bo Diddley -- con Howlin' Wolf reemplazando a Little Walter para completar el trío. A diferencia de Walter, que estaba dispuesto a ceder el protagonismo a Diddley y Waters en el Super Blues, Wolf se niega rotundamente a retroceder ante sus rivales, lo que resulta en un aluvión de polémicas bromas de estudio que resultan ser más entretenidas que la música, de otro modo inolvidable, de este desastre estilístico. Aunque Wolf y Waters se enfrentan en serio a los estándares del blues, la presencia de Diddley (y su repertorio de juerga) hace imposible la perspectiva de un conjunto; al final, hay demasiados ingredientes en conflicto (los chillidos de los coros "femeninos" contra el gruñido de Wolf, las payasadas de Diddley con la guitarra espacial contra la guitarra deslizante de Waters) para hacer que la mezcla sea digerible. Mientras tanto, mientras los tres cantantes luchan por superarse en cada canción, ahogan a una infrautilizada y estelar banda de acompañamiento formada por Otis Spann al piano, Hubert Sumlin a la guitarra, Buddy Guy al bajo y Clifton James a la batería. Al menos parece que se divirtieron haciéndolo.

 

 

Bo Diddley ‎• in the Spotlight

Review by Bruce Eder

As with Bo Diddley's first five albums (except Have Guitar, Will Travel), the most important cuts (but not all the good ones) off of this album have been included on The Chess Box from MCA, which doesn't mean that this record isn't a good separate issue, just somewhat redundant if you have the box. There are surprises from these 1960-vintage recordings, including the languid, Caribbean-sounding "Limber"; the soft, romantic "Love Me"; the doo wop-style "Deed and Deed I Do"; the loping "Walkin' and Talkin'"; upbeat, gospel-tinged rockers such as "Let Me In" interspersed with the hot and raunchy "Road Runner," "The Story of Bo Diddley," "Craw-Dad" (a genuine diamond in the rough), and "Signifying Blues"; and solid instrumentals like "Scuttle Bug" (really "Live My Life" with the vocals removed and Otis Spann overdubbed on piano) that make this record more than worthwhile.

Revisión por Bruce Eder

Al igual que con los primeros cinco álbumes de Bo Diddley (excepto Have Guitar, Will Travel), los cortes más importantes (pero no todos los buenos) de este álbum han sido incluidos en The Chess Box de MCA, lo que no significa que este disco no es un buen tema aparte, solo algo redundante si tienes el cuadro. Hay sorpresas de estas grabaciones de 1960, incluyendo el lánguido "Limber" de sonido caribeño; el suave y romántico "Love Me"; el estilo doo wop "Deed and Deed I Do"; el grito "Walkin 'y Talkin'"; optimistas, rockeros teñidos de gospel como "Let Me In" intercalados con el caliente y obsceno "Road Runner", "The Story of Bo Diddley", "Craw-Dad" (un diamante genuino en bruto) y "Signifying Blues" "; y instrumentales sólidos como "Scuttle Bug" (realmente "Live My Life" con las voces eliminadas y Otis Spann sobregrabado en el piano) que hacen que este disco valga la pena.
