B.B. King: Live in Cook County Jail and More…
by C. Michael Bailey
In his ALLMUSIC artist's biography of B.B. King, Bill Dahl states, “Universally hailed as the king of the blues, the legendary B.B. King was without a doubt the single most important electric guitarist of the last half of the 20th century." That is hyperbole of the order of Stephen Thomas Erlewine's introduction in the same publication ...
Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen: We Got a Live one Here!
by C. Michael Bailey
Pimply, hormonal, lower-middle class teenaged boys growing up in the 1960s and '70s were easy marks for fun, subversive, and slightly dangerous music. However, the music being consumed was mostly a generation or two beyond its origin. For Example, “Spoonful" on Cream's 1966 debut recording Fresh Cream (Atco) was an ear-opening introduction to extended performance that ...
Toots Lorraine: Make It Easy
by C. Michael Bailey
Firstly, who can possibly deny the name “Toots Lorraine?" That name is to the barrelhouse music on Make It Easy as Harmon Killebrew or Dizzy Dean are to baseball. So what's in this name, Toots Lorraine? Well, that's where things expand. Along with husband, guitarist and co-leader of The Traffic, Chad Dent, Lorraine is a potent ...
Lucky Peterson: I'm Back Again
by Angelo Leonardi
Chi ha già il cofanetto Live at the 55 Arts Club Berlin del 2012, comprendente 3 DVD e 2 CD, può evitare di acquistare questo disco che risulta esserne una selezione stringata, con le esecuzioni del solo bluesman di Buffalo. Per coprire tutti i possibili segmenti del mercato (anche il pubblico occasionale o chi ...
Corey Harris: Fulton Blues
by Angelo Leonardi
Sono trascorsi due decenni dal debutto di Corey Harris in Between Midnight and Day, che fece gridare al miracolo catapultando il bluesman sulla scena internazionale. Quelle torride esecuzioni di Delta Blues suscitarono alti consensi e grandi attese (confermate dal successivo Fish Ain't Bitin'), portando il New York Times a paragoni -certo eccessivi-con Robert Johnson, Lightnin' Hopkins ...

Robert Plant and the Sensational Space Shifters at the Fillmore Auditorium, Denver
by Geoff Anderson
Robert Plant and the Sensational Space Shifters Fillmore Auditorium Denver October 4, 2014 Robert Plant's new album, Lullaby and... The Ceaseless Roar (Nonesuch, 2014), is an atmospheric affair; music suitable for horseback riding at twilight in misty woods while on the lookout for the Headless Horseman. Perhaps the Led Zeppelin tune ...

The Led Zeppelin Papers: Led Zeppelin II, Deluxe Edition
by C. Michael Bailey
January 12, 1969 to October 22, 1969. Two-hundred eighty-three days. That is the length of time between the releases of Led Zeppelin and Led Zeppelin II. By any estimation, in rock music it defies the space-time continuum. By 21st Century time, it only compares to the incessant leakage of Rap mixtapes pooling on the floor of ...
Interview: Don Andrews Of Spirojazz
Q: Some people, especially those who familiar with progressive-rock albums from the '70s, would expect Space and Alienation as a science-fiction concept record. But Space and Alienation have a deeper meaning on your album, judging from the emotional tone of certain pieces. Is Space and Alienation what we feel from everyday living? In other words, we ...
