John Lee Hooker Jr. "Blues with A Vengeance" Album Review
How refreshing!
Right from the start I would like to make clear that this is "a traditional blues album". However this is a traditional blues album with something different in it. John Lee Hooker JR., as mentioned also in the review below, doesn't sound anything close to his father, his style is completely different, very close to the tradition of Chicago style but with something more add in the mix that make this CD sound really refreshing and innovative if you will. He has a great voice and also, and equally important, a very personal way of singing. As he states on the linear notes "we went out of bounds, beyond limitation, broke barriers, and broke the blues rules in working on this CD". And, from my point of view, they did it, and they did it also very well. The Final result is remarkably good: a very "innovative" traditional blues album. Most of the songs in the album include a powerful horn section and a very good guitar work from John Garcia who worked with his dad for many years. It is really a pleasure to listening to this CD and I really hope that it will have the attention both from public and critics that it deserves.

Cool John Ferguson "Cool John Ferguson" Album Review
Playing by Heart
This is a great soundtrack. Typical John Barry sweet melancholy melodic work. Marries well with many other Chris Botti CDs. Paralleling Chet Baker's work alongside Chris Botti's is an interesting approach. Barry, of course, is perfection itself.

Big Joe Williams "Delta Blues" Album Review
Testament Records-Always Good for You!
You may want to disregard the atrocious spelling, lack of respect, and dismissive comment about Chess from another reviewer. This is great music. We all know that. JUST BUY IT. For more information, however, just ask Etta James or Buddy Guy what they think about Leonard and Marshall Chess. Sure, they weren't perfect, but picture the world without all of the artists they DID record.
Video Bottleneck Bill "Hot Dog Blues" (by Big Joe Williams)
Heres British Mississippi Delta bluesman "Bottleneck Bill "The Most Downhome Sound Around". Bill who was born in Eastbourne Sussex England in 1947 has been playing blues since the early 1960's. The guitar he has used for over 30 years is a Hofner which after an accident involving partial asphyxiation from dry cleaning fumes from clothes he had recieved back from a dry cleaners in the seventies that left him unable to work or perform for several years that to this day has rendered his right (strumming) hand partialy parylised he spent his time customising his guitar by fitting a fibre glass back to it a giving it a paint job and experimenting with an able bassmaker a device designed to fill out his sound an idea he got from the celebrated bluesman Jesse "Lonecat" Fuller.Bills a man at home with a soldiering iron in his hand and his experiments at electronicaly and mechanicaly tweaking his guitar and his sheer persistance at regaining his ability to play coupled with his near photographic memory of songs has made him the unique performer he is. Like myself Bill is amongst Big Joe Williams most ardent admirers and is about the only blues revivalist I ever heard who dares to tackle the songs of Mississippi Big Joe Williams,Big Joe was a one off and in my opinion the greatest of all the country bluesmen,and there isnt ever going to be anyone who can realy play and sing like him,but Bill in my opinion anyway realy goes someway to capturing the feel and sound.Here's Bill giving us his very memorable rendition of Big Joe's "Hot Dog Blues" Bill was recording this with blues photographer and founder of the short lived sixties British country blues reissue label "Spokane Records" Les Astrella" present who hadnt seen Bill play since the late 1960's,and was blown away to see him in action giving his very authentic renditions of so many classic country blues numbers from the great exponents of the art long gone. Les was the photographer who produced the photos for the sleeve cover of the LP Son House at the 100 club. Bill has told me that he played there that same night and Son House was very complimentary of his playing.
