New Listing 6 CD LOT TEXAS BLUES All CDs in this lot are new and still sealed! *ROCKY HILL Texas Shuffle (Tomato 2005 - New & Sealed CD) Review: What can I say? This is the legendary Rocky Hill. Back in the late sixties I remembering going to the Cellar club in downtown Houston. The club is long gone but not all of the wonderful memories I heard and saw in that club. I remembering going there just to catch Rocky, his brother Dusty and Frank Beard (ZZ Top) play. What great shows and what power. Rocky use to play like a he was possessed and his backing rhythm section would just accent him so well. Probably the family thing. Songs from "Cream" to "Fleetwood Mac" and beyond. I'm so glad to see Rocky is still making music and by the way, he is just as great as ever. Check out the album and if you see that Rocky's coming to town watch out don't miss him. One of the best of the best. ~ Amazon Review: When Rocky Hill's Tomato Records debut appeared in 1982, he was out of step in a sense, and out of time. Had he showed up a year or so later he could have challenged fellow Texas bluesman Stevie Ray Vaughan for the title; Vaughan would have won, but it would have been a hell of a battle. Hill is a Texas bluesman who walks the line between T-Bone Walker, Lightnin' Hopkins, Albert King, and Johnny Winter -- who plays on this record along with Dr. John, the Leon Russell Singers, and the Muscle Shoals Horns. Hill and Winter blaze on their guitars, Dr. John handles the keyboard chores and acts as music director, and Kevin Eggers handles the production chores on a set of screaming, razor-edged blues-rockers like Willie Dixon's "Hootchie Cootchie Man," "Preaching Blues," and a jam based on "Little Red Rooster." As for the originals, Hill's songs are not memorable, but his playing and singing are. On "Rock 'n' Roll" (what an original title), his gruff wailing voice is matched by a knife-edged guitar that growls, roars, and sets fire against Winter's. "Bad Girl Blues" is a moaning blues with wonderful interplay in the bridge and a sharp, pointed piano solo by Dr. John. The addition of Leon Russell's backing vocalists is a real treat; they add emotional depth to what would otherwise be just a barroom affair. They bring soul and a gospel feel to even the raunchiest of blues-rockers. While there is no ground broken here, none is lost either. This blows away run-of-the-mill blues-rock by an exponent of ten, and keeps the home fires burning for a return to tradition without giving up the volume. ~ All Music Guide SONGS/TRACKS: 1. Rock and Roll 2. Hootchie Cootchie Man 3. Future Blues 4. Fool For You 5. Bad Girl Blues 6. Blood Stream 7. My Guitar 8. Gimme the Gun 9. Young Man 10. Yes Indeed 11. Preaching Blues 12. Red Rooster Jamm File Under: Blues - Keyword: ZZ Top, Dr. John, Johnny Winter *B.B. KING King Biscuit Flower Hour Live (King Biscuit Flower 1998 - New & Sealed CD) All-star jams with Johnny Winter, Edgar Winter & George Benson. Includes a dazzling version of 'The Thrill Is Gone'. A King Biscuit Flower Hour Records release. For anyone who has watched an older and more tired B.B. King perform the last couple years the younger generation might wonder what all the fuss was about. Well, this album from 1978 will give anyone a textbook lesson on B.B. King. His guitar tone is biting and nasty and this is a time when he really cared about playing the guitar. He makes his guitar sing, makes multiple bends on one note and even shows some fast licks which is not normally a B.B. trademark. Also on the album is Johnny Winter who does a marvelously restrained lead on the song "Going Down Slow." If you only own one B.B. King album, this should be the one. SONGS/TRACKS: 1. Caldonia 2. How Blue Can You Get 3. Goin' Down Slow 4. I Got Some Help I Don't Need 5. Just A Little Love 6.

Gary Davis and others. Mike Bloomfield: One of America's first great white blues guitarists, earning his reputation on the strength of his work in the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. His expressive, fluid solo lines and prodigious technique graced many other projects -- most notably Bob Dylan's earliest electric forays Debbie Davies: Former guitarist for Albert Collins & the Icebreakers, Fingers Taylor & the Ladyfinger Revue, and Maggie Mayall & the Cadillacs, an all-female band led by John Mayall's wife, Davies has continued to attract attention as the leader of her own group since 1993. "I believe my reputation backs up my ability to recognize exceptional blues," explained John Mayall during a early-2000 interview. "Such a one is Debbie Davies. Pinetop Perkins: He admittedly wasn't the originator of the seminal piano piece "Pinetop's Boogie Woogie," but it's a safe bet that more people associate it nowadays with Pinetop Perkins than with the man who devised it in the first place, Clarence "Pinetop" Smith. Although it seems as though he's been around Chicago forever, the Mississippi native actually got a relatively late start on his path to Windy City immortality. It was only when Muddy Waters took him on to replace Otis Spann in 1969 that Perkins's rolling mastery of the ivories began to assume outsized proportions. SONGS/TRACKS: 1. Cross And Evil Woman Blues - Rev. Gary Davis 2. Memphis Radio Blues - Michael Bloomfield 3. Sayin' Don't Make It So - Duke Robillard 4. I Just Want To Make Love To You - Debbie Davies 5.

The fold-out cover insert includes step-by-step dance instructions, using photographs of a decked out cat and kitten. Johnny Otis: American blues and rhythm and blues pianist, vibraphonist, drummer, singer, bandleader, and impresario. Johnny Otis was one of the most prominent white figures in the history of black R&B. Frank Zappa has cited Otis as the inspiration for his distinctive trademark facial hair, stating in an interview conducted by Simpsons creator Matt Groening and Guitar Player magazine editor Don Menn that "it looked good on Johnny Otis, so I grew it." Joe Liggins & His Honeydrippers: Tore up the R&B charts during the late '40s and early '50s with their polished brand of polite R&B. Liggins scored massive hits with "The Honeydripper" in 1945 and "Pink Champagne" five years later, posting a great many more solid sellers in between. Charles Brown: His incredible piano skills and laid-back vocal delivery remained every bit as mesmerizing at the end of his life as they were way back in 1945, when his groundbreaking waxing of "Drifting Blues" with guitarist Johnny Moore's Three Blazers invented an entirely new blues genre for sophisticated postwar revelers: an ultra-mellow, jazz-inflected sound perfect for sipping a late-night libation in some hip after-hours joint. Brown's smooth trio format was tremendously influential to a host of high-profile disciples - Ray Charles, Amos Milburn, and Floyd Dixon, for starters. SONGS/TRACKS: 1. Bobby Sox Blues - Charles Brown 2. I Cover The Waterfront - Joe Liggins & His Honeydrippers 3. Be Bop Baby Blues - Johnny Otis Band 4. Fightin' Mama Blue - Jack McVea 5.
