R.L. Burnside |
|
Bad Luck City |

|
Blues |
Can you get behind the idea of Fat Possum's premier bluesman posing as an old-school soul crooner? Then check out this bizarre but hypnotic track from R.L.'s latest record!

Irma Thomas |
|
I Know Prayer Changes Things |
MP3 |
|
Blues |
Regardless of your religion, Irma Thomas will make you a believer on this uplifting gospel number.

Sleeping In The Ground (Slow blues version) |
MP3 |
|
Blues, Rock |
Wake up! Uber talents Eric Clapton, Stevie Winwood, and Ginger Baker go deep on this grooving blues rocker circa 1969.

Balfa Toujours |
|
Whiskey River Special |
LiquidAudio |
|
Blues |
The ragin’ Cajun offspring of legendary zydeco muisician Dewey Balfa stay true to the bayou on this front porch jam. Fine musicianship notwithstanding, this track will only appeal to purists or drunken tourists hopped up on hurricanes.

Joe Houston |
|
Baby Don't You Want To Know (Live) |
WinMedia |
|
Blues |
Ain’t nothin’ but a party when Joe Houston kicks it live from the House Of Blues. But this is a track best served by the actual ambience of a smoky, crowded club packed with beer-soaked blues lovers who can easily forgive the rough-and-tumble – albeit heartfelt – delivery. This one definitely loses something in the translation.

|
Blues |
The Messiahs might make a great wedding band, but don't hold your breath for a baptism.

It's not Stevie Ray Vaughan, but an incredible simulation!

Palace of the King |
MP3 |
|
Blues, Rock |
Great guitar playing barely justifies the existence of this punishingly stupid blues travelogue. Even die-hard Mountain fans should be embarrassed!

Nothin' Comes Easy |
MP3 |
|
Blues |
Funky southwestern blues, served Stevie Ray-style with plenty of tasty licks. With a side of strong vocals, it could have been a four-star treat.
|
Kevin McKendree & Brothers From Other Mothers |
|
Fine Sweet Woman |
MP3 |
|
Blues |
Thoroughly pedestrian boogie blues from a multi-instrumentalist who's played with Lee Roy Parnell and Delbert McClinton. She's a fine sweet woman, she's so doggone good to him, and who really gives a good goddamn anyway?
