One of my favorite all time albums front to back, if you like New Orleans blues, this is for you!  Or, if you don't, this album is still for you!  When I got this, I picked it up due to how well it was doing sales-wise.  When I first saw it at Target for sale, it was sold out.  Yes, a blues album sold out.  I'm sure that it didn't hurt that he had the #1 TV show at the time, but hey, I picked it up and I'm glad I did!  I'm also into Chicago blues a lot.... if the track isn't electrified or in most cases has harmonica in it, I didn't like it, so I was also on the fence due to that.  Hugh really has something special here..... the tracks are lovingly selected, the execution and arrangement are top shelf, and they are rich and amazing musicially.  Check out St. James Infirmary, You Don't Know My Mind, Buddy Bolden's Blues and/or Tipitina if you are on the fence about this.  Oh yeah, Dr. John, Tom Jones and Erma Thomas have guest spots on it.... check it out already!

This is another CD that I found in my friend Regina's shop, Art and Soul.  It is a collection of Blues, with 14 cuts by different musicians/vocalists.  It has:

  Arthur Adams and B.B. King ----- Get you next to me

  Keb Mo' ------------------------ Hand it Over

  Ruth Brown --------------------- Good Day for the Blues

  Henry Gray --------------------- How could you do it

  Taj Mahal ---------------------- Cakewalk into town

  Robert Cray & Albert Collins --- She's into something

  Sugar Pie Desanto -------------- Hello, San Francisco

  Raful Neal --------------------- Call me Baby

  Otis Rush ---------------------- I got the blues

  Sunpie Barnes ------------------ Sunpie's Romp & Stomp

  Eric Bibb ---------------------- Needed Time

  Chris Thomas King -------------- Why Blues

  Susan Tedeschi ----------------- Just won't burn

  Soloman Burke ------------------ None of us are free

The playing time on individual cuts runs from 2:34 to 5:39.  Total playing time is not given.  I have it playing on my media player as I write this.  It is published by Putumayo World Music (guaranteed to make you feel good! and it lives up to that promise).  Putumayo is to be congratulated for putting together an outstanding collection.

I got the digital remaster from the UK along with East-West, and I have no regrets. The sound is far superior, and the price was actually less than if you bought both albums separately. For any big blues fans, these albums are as essential as Blues Breakers with Eric Clapton, Mayall's A Hard Road with Peter Green, Allman Brothers Filmore East, or Bloomfield / Kooper / Stills Super Sessions. For Blues sessions, this is one of the cream of the crop ones, and definately a must have. Just be sure to get the UK remastered ones. (I have no idea why the US hasn't done it yet, but I do know that the blues is really a big deal in the UK).

Music from the 70s cannot be replaced or duplicated. Chicago was one of the greatest bands from that era. Their music has a beautiful sound that either soothes or gets you on your feet. This song has a dreaminess to it that makes you really wish whoever you might be missing at that moment was there.

Not a bad track on this one. If you like the blues, BUY THIS DVD!!

These two guys really knew how to play & sing electric blues right from the start! Triplofonic guitar & broke beat kit add up to one of the most enjoyable CDs in my collection! Includes a cover of a Beatles tune & a dub at the end with a hidden reprise! This album deserves a six star rating! Thanx!

Jimmy Rogers was in the Muddy Waters Band. He first played harp (blues harmonica) and later guitar. This CD was recorded in 1994 but has recently been re-released. Jimmy is joined by two legends - Johnnie Johnson on piano and Carey Bell on harp. Johnson was the piano player for Chuck Berry and it will be hard to find anyone who is better at boogie style piano. Bell is one of the best harp players in blues and he definitely exercises his chops on this recording. This is a great straight ahead blues CD. The songs are some of blues biggest hits. If you have a taste for some blues, put on your bib and serve yourself some mighty tasty blues.

Fellow blues lovers don't make mistakes, this is a GREAT BLUS ALBUM! Having said that I would like to tell you that I totally agree with our friend the "blues drummer". This is "mostly just a 12 bars blues" album, and that's exactly the reason why I bought it! So if you don't like the blues, or if you are more "rock" or "rock-blues" oriented don't buy it and follow his advice: Coco Montoya would be a better choice for you, but if you like the blues as I do, well do not hesitate a second and buy it. Not a bad tune on this CD, the only one that sounds out of place is the Neil Young's ballad "Unknown Legend" (nice song anyway). Jimmy and Tab are in great form and they play, as you would expect, brilliantly through out the entire album, while the band (the best rhythm section in the business) perform at their usual standard. Very hard to point out a "favourite" tune, however the version of the classic Tab's number "Nice and warm" is absolutely unbelievable and by itself it worth the purchase price. The original version in Tab's firs album is great, but this one, from my point of view, is even better, and if the final solo of Jimmy doesn't grab your gut...well forget even Coco Montoya and start looking for some Donna Summer's stuff! "Whiskey store" and "Bad luck blues" are two strong slow numbers on which Tab take the lead, while Jimmy deliver a "killer" version of the Bob Dylan's "Leopard-skin pill-box hat". In conclusion if you like the blues, and especially if you like it very much guitar driven, well guys this is the album you were looking for! My rate: 5 stars!

If you like the blues you'll love this DVD.  I especially liked the acoustic set with Skip James, Son House & Bukka White.  The Black & White is cool and the sound is good.

I just did two other reviews on newer Robben Ford CD`s so please check those for that info. Just a short note to say that this being an earlier recording from 1988 in no way diminishes the quality of Robben`s playing and is a great blues CD. Less rock influence than on the newer CD`s, this CD is a nice blues album to listen to and there is not a bad tune on the CD. The title track "Talk to your Daughter" is great and touches home in the fact that I have a daughter who seems to have a boyfriend who wrote this song! Also, "Born Under a Bad Sign"  and "Can`t Let Her Go" are great tunes. Highly recommend this early Robben Ford classic & a must for any serious blues CD collector! Cheers from Tokyo! Greg

Greetings and Welcome Home to All
  I am a Vietnam Vet so missed the good times on the ground here in the States during this period but this is got to be the next best thing to being there
,
  The 6 CD's not only brought me songs I had never heard before but the narrative from the Producers was in this set.
 It was like being on the good Farmers land on those 3 days.....

The first thing I can say is buy it..............Now............It will not be long and they will be gone and you will miss a great piece of of American History.......

These recordings are just cool as hell. The Music was recorded clean and consise and bad to the bone. ( I had to add that to convince you to break your wallet open)
  Now I am a Blues lover first and Jazz,
I lived for years in the Quarter of New Orleans so got into the blues there and from the time I was a kid when I met my first Beatnik's when I was like 12 or so when a local coffee shop opened. This flooded me with Memories

I liked the 60's music but you have to understand because of my being in the war and all that went on in the 60" & 70"s I just found only a few pieces of the music from back then, It was a bad memory for me

 Well I am over that downer now but almost thought I had died and gone to heaven when this piece arrived........
I did allot of research before picking this group & after hearing a few cuts of Cocker from this Concert. I started reading receivings and knew that I had better act quick........

  I did and honestly this I feel is the best piece I bought out of the many I reviewed  ( I am open to critism but kick back, fire one up and remember when life was not the mess we have going now in the States.

Fantastic cuts one after another, hell the announcer pulls you into this group of songs.
 You even hear him telling the people there to watch out for some bad acid going around.and where to go to get free hot dogs.......It's the real deal.....It's 3 days of going back to 1969.............and remembering how many fine artists we have lost since then, You have them on these CD's clear and clean and kicking ass .........

  I am estatic to have this.........I think you will be also.........I bought a new one but there are a few used sets left to........
  I am sorry I missed this party back in the old days and was carrying a machine gun instead of a bottle of wine and some dub's lol

I offer this In Memory of All Nam Vets and in particular my unit
The First Infantry Division ( The Big Red One)
1st/4th Calvary
 Bravo Troop
U.S. Army 1967/68
God Bless all of you who did not make it to hear this great piece of sounds
  Gary
Amazon you did it again Thanks
