John Hammond "Ready for Love" Album Review
A few surprises here
"Ready for Love" kicked off with a surprise for Hammond fans...the title track is his song!
Hammond had said around the time the CD came out that he'd not been pleased with early attempts at writing, but I certainly had not problem with this one. Kind of a Hooker-ish guitar line, and that deep, drawling tone of voice, quite alright with me.
John did pick some interesting covers: Freddie Hart's "Easy Lovin'" got a very different workout, somewhere between country and blues, Tom Waits' "Gin Soaked Boy" and a couple of George Jones tunes, "Color of the Blues" and "Just One More."
Augie Meyers and David Hidalgo (Los Lobos) figured in the recording and it's really a good recording. Some unusual tracks, some different takes and some definite work put in to make this album stand out from others.
This CD gets regular play by me, that should say something.

Barry White "All Time Greatest Hits" Album Review
I Like It
This is a very good albun. It has a lot of the songs he does that I love. I think the sound could be a little better but it is probably from earlier recordings. I still am glad I got it.

Muddy Waters "Martin Scorsese presents the Blues" Album Review
A good starter
AS far as one disc compilatioh go, this is pretty good. It can be a fine starter to Muddy, as you get his earlz one man /duo recordings -acoustic as well as electric featuring Muddy§s excellent raw slide guitar as well as his mid fifties and early sixties track with a gret fullband with Muddy's vocals getting even better and many of the best musicians Chicago blues had to offer. However, this is just a starter, as it does not feature gems like Honey bee, Streamline Women, Blow wind blow,or You need love to name a few and it has nothing from his post Chess recordings, which means you willmiss all material of the three great records made with Johnny Winter, not to talk about live recordings, which Muddy made plenty of also in his Chess days and that aren't represented at all too.

Ray Charles "Mess Around" Album Review
This could be all 41 songs from 1949-1952
You can tell by the song titles these are from his first years recording, that is, 1949-1952. There are at minimum, 27 different releases on 24 different labels of his Swing Time & Down Beat (Downbeat becaome Swingtime) recordings from 1949-1952 when he was 19 to 22 years old. I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now is an incredible song. Lost love, so emotional. Kissa Me Baby could be my favorite song. It and Misery in My Heart (refrain is Goin' down to the river and drown myself) both have fantastic horns, very lively. Unforgetable. If you follow the song titles here you'll see that it appears to include possibly all 41 of those early years songs. I'm not sure if the other 6 songs are from those years or not. You can't go wrong with them. Fantastic stuff, unfettered. Not over produced. He belts it out. I'm Glad For Your Sake is another big favorite of mine, so mournful of the loss of his love. There's apparently 41 to 42 released songs from this period and they appear on 1) The Complete Swing Time & Down Beat Recordings 1949-1952, 2) Ray Charles 45 Great Performances and Mess Around. All three are 2xCD sets.
