Complete Recordings of Blind Wille Johnson
Johnson was a gospel blues singer whose recordings have thankfully
survived from the 20's and allowed a new generation to appreciate just
how great an artist he was.
The intonations and sudden change in direction of his vocal style will
lift and enrich you and his slide guitar technique has been the...

Recorded for a television programme of the same name back in 1983, In
Session bills itself as the only known recording of Stevie Ray
Vaughan and Albert King, who was Vaughan's idol and mentor, playing
together. That leads to some heavy expectations, which fortunately
aren't disappointed, at least if... |

Born Under A Bad Sign dates back to a time when albums were
collections of singles, and when singles, designed for radio and jukebox
play, seldom ran for much more than three and a half minutes--often
quite a bit less. The advantage of that limitation was that artists had
to make an impact fast and.. |

the best JJ cale album!
this album is a beautiful combination of mellow beats and understated
vocals. i think it is Cale at his very best. The first track 'hey baby'
is a classy opener, a burst of sunshine to the sound of trumpets and it
just gets better from there. yes 'cocaine' is on it but i dont think its
a stand out... |

Anyone who believes Gary Moore to be a rocker should listen to this

masterfully by this consumate guitarist. The beauty of " Still Got The

this guy. The... |
