Sonny Boy Williamson "Bummer Road" Album Review

must be heard to be believed! marycpa
I have this album but have been dragged, kicking & screaming, into the digital age. All my records are now enclosed in drywall cuz I was too lazy to move them (400+) during a remodel. Anyway, I LOVE the 12 minute version of "Little Village." The piano player is clearly Sonny Boy's smacked-out brother-in-law who keeps falling face-first into the keyboard about 10 seconds into each take. Sonny Boy yells at an exasperated engineer: "He'll git it, he'll git it!!" The tinny voice of the engineer replies: "OK. Take 92--Little Village." Sonny Boy hits it & blammo--the piano player falls off his bench. The engineer gets so dingy he finally can't recall the name of the song. Sonny Boy shouts: "Little Village! Little Village, M*therf*cker!!
Tempers flare, songs never get sung, and we get to laugh our fool heads off. This cut will always get a dullish party group loosened up. Or it will get everyone to leave--if they don't laugh, you don't need to know them. Either way, it ought to be played, always and often.

Eddie Hinton "Playin Around the Songwriting Sessions 2" Album Review

Dear Ya'll Volume II
Playin Around continues an attempt to revitalise the Hinton recordings to the general public at large. Each track is a structure of pure soul that leaves one wondering "what if". The bonus live recordings from the 90's are worth the price of admission to those Hinton-holic's who simply can't get enough of his gigantic contribution to a lost period of American music in it's finest moments.
Shame on you if your record/cd collection lacks any of Eddie Hinton's music, your all the poorer for it.
