Eric Bibb "Friends" Album Review
Just a wonderful album
This is my third Eric Bibb album if you count the one he did with Maria Muldaur and Rory Block. What a talented man he is! He knows his way around a guitar and his velvety smooth vocals are a treat. Anyone into acoustic blues music should really add him to their collection. Especially Chris Smither and Kelly Joe Phelps fans. As you probably know or guessed, this album includes many of Eric's "Friends". Some of the people at the party include Odetta, Guy Davis, Taj Mahal, Martin Simpson and Harry Manx. I love Eric's version of Guy Clark's "The Cape" with Martin Simpson's lovely finger picked guitar behind him. You also need to hear his duet with Odetta entitled "Taint Such a Much". I'm just barely scratching the surface here. There's lots to love on this album and I don't think there's a single mis-step. Albums that you can say that about are gew and far between these days.

Muddy Waters "Feel Like Going Home" Album Review
Good collection of early Muddy, but....
...but, well, the Complete Blues label, which issues this new series of digipacks featuring artists like Muddy Waters, Elmore James, Leroy Carr and many more, is taking advantage of certain European copyright laws, so the morality of buying from them is dubious. The Muddy Waters CDs from MCA-Universal (the successor to the Chess label) generate royalties to Muddy's family, and also tend to be more coherent thematically, so I'd go for one of their excellent Muddy-compilations instead.
Anyway...this is a collection of Muddy Waters' earliest sides, a couple of them non-commercial recordings made at Stovall's Plantation in the early 1940's. There are some genuine classics here, like "Gypsy Woman", "I Can't Be Satisfied", "Train Fare Home", and "Rollin' Stone", and the mastering is generally excellent.
Yadayadayada. I still think you should buy the MCA/Chess-albums.
