Duke Robillard "Blue Mood" Album Review
Nobody does T-Bone like Duke!
If you like T-Bone Walker, big-band and jump blues, plenty of kickin' horns and a rhythm section that can't be beat, then Duke's "Blue Mood" is a must-have. I'm a big fan of Duke, and particularly of his T-Bone stylings (as I play that way myself), so this album was a no-brainer. The album is superbly recorded and engineered. Duke is the master of that big arch-top guitar tone that is so definitive of the T-Bone sound. His vocals are strong, and the band is the best in the known blues world. This album jumps and jives, smokes and sizzles. T-Bone fans...this is required listening! Even better, go see Duke perform this material LIVE and get his autograph on your Blue Mood cd! :)

James Cotton "Baby Don't You Tear My Clothes" Album Review
wonderful records he did when he was a complete superstar
Baby Don't You Tear My Clothes
James Cotton
Telarc Records CD-83596
www.telarc.com
Just can't love it. It isn't that it isn't world class Chicago blues harmonica, but that it's not as good as anything James Cotton did before throat cancer took his voice, because it doesn't have his powerful, downhome vocals and "Got to th'ow down right now" phrasing alongside the harmonica wizardry. Instead, it has a touch of what must have been extremely painful Cotton vocals and a lot of big name guest singing that, to this critic, puts James Cotton in a sideman role he is too good for.
Honor James Cotton. Honor him by buying the string of wonderful records he did when he was a complete superstar.
