Sonny Boy Williamson - Don't Make A Mistake

Unreleased and rare recordings from 1953-1963. Somehow I think these have all been re-released on various cd's over the years but still an interesting lp to listen to.

Various - New York Wild Guitars - Bobby's Harlem Rock Vol.1














Raw soul and blistering blues from the Bobby Robinson family of labels of the early 60s – material pulled from rare singles on the Fire, Fury, and Enjoy label – and wrapped up here in a mighty sharp package that offers up 31 tracks in all! As the title promises, the guitars are pretty wild – really great bluesy riffs that step out on nearly all numbers – pushing the guitar lines with the kind of quality you'd later find in funk music, but which here comes across with a grittier, rootsier feel overall. Some cuts have the vocals in the lead, others really spotlight the guitar – and titles include "Cut & Dried" and "Scratchin" by Wild Jimmy Spruill, "Number 9 Train" and "Wildcat Tamer" by Tarheel Slim, "All My Life" and "Home Cookin" by Riff Ruffin and "Bow Wow" by Titus Tee Turner.

Thanks go to Frits for the rip of his LP.

Mojo Buford - Harpslinger

This disc features classic, Muddy Waters-approved vintage Chicago-style blues. Heavy on the harmonica, seasoned with tasty dashes of piano and fat-bodied guitar, it has the sort of sound which screams "Chicago - 1950's", which it fitting. Among the many harmonica players in Muddy's band over the years, Mojo stands alone as the only one to have toured with Muddy in the 1950's, 60's, 70's, and 80's.
Recorded in analog, without benefit of overdubs or gimmicks, this is close as you'll get to a truly live recording. Mojo is backed by members of Rockin' Daddy & the Rough Cuts (Dan Schwalbe - guitar, Jack Taylor - bass, and Greg Shuck - drums) as well as one-handed blues pianist Mike "the Hook" Deutsch, and Curtis Blake on second harp.
On several tracks, this line-up is joined by Teddy Morgan on second guitar and R.J. Mischo and third harp. The effect is a supurb tappestry of interwoven melodies, each delightfully adding to the thick ensemble sound. Highly recommended for knowledgable blues aficiandos.
Mojo's original lyrics will crack you up, and the musicianship is outstanding. Worth looking for!
Amazon review for the later CD release.
