Jesse Ed Davis: Tomorrow May Not Be Your Day: The Unissued Atco Recordings 1970-1971

Read "Tomorrow May Not Be Your Day: The Unissued Atco Recordings 1970-1971" reviewed by Doug Collette


Originally reissued in November 2024 as a limited-edition vinyl set, the seventy-four-some minutes of The Unissued Atco Recordings 1970-1971 derives from sessions for Jesse Ed Davis' debut LP Jesse Davis (Atco Records,1971) and its followup of a year later, Ululu (Atco Records, 1972). One of the most unheralded musicians of his time, Jesse Ed Davis' appearance is nevertheless virtually as recognizable as the tone of his guitar: the shock of black hair over his face brings focus to the close ...

John Lee Hooker: The Best of Friends

Read "The Best of Friends" reviewed by Doug Collette


In contrast to his often (always?) irascible peer Chester Burnett, aka Howlin' Wolf, John Lee Hooker has long been amenable to collaborations, reciprocal and otherwise.

Dylanologists of every stripe and level of Dylanalia had it partly right when Bob Dylan released Time Out Of Mind (Columbia) in mid-September 1997. “Great album!" They/we/us all screamed. “Great songs!" “Dylan's best since the totemic Blood On the Tracks!" (Columbia, 1975) “Mid-career masterwork!" “The Bard's New Relevance!" If you weren't there the first time it really was a Category 5 idiot wind of biblical proportion. In the chalk dust arena of popular punditry, the second enfant ...

Charlie Watts Jim Keltner Project: Charlie Watts Jim Keltner Project

Read "Charlie Watts Jim Keltner Project" reviewed by Michael Askounes


Jim Keltner apparently gets off on sampling every percussive sound he comes across – kitchen utensils, rattling chains, banging on a table, etc. I know this because I’ve just finished listening to the Charlie Watts Jim Keltner Project, and I think I’ve heard every possible banging sound that this planet has to offer. When super-session man Keltner hooked up with the Rolling Stone’s Cheshire Cat Charlie Watts, their apparent goal was to make an engaging and eclectic percussive jazz album ...
