Raising Sand(more) »rank: 40from: Rounder
Our review:Album Description:The musical collaboration of the decade, Raising Sand is the sound of two iconic figures stepping out of their respective comfort zones and letting their instincts lead them across a brave new sonic landscape. Despite hailing from distinctly different backgrounds, Alison Krauss and Robert Plant share a maverick spirit and willingness to extend the boundaries of their respective genres. This spirit, expertly honed by producer T Bone Burnett, has resulted in an album pitched three steps beyond some cosmic collision of early urban blues, spacious West Texas country, and the untapped potential of the folk-rock revolution. Supported by the unparalleled musicianship of ... Detail |
One Kind Favor(more) »rank: 224by: B.B. King

Skin Deep(more) »rank: 309by: Buddy Guy
Our review:Album Description:Skin Deep is the 2008 release by Buddy Guy. The album features The Memphis Horns, Willie Mitchell,Derek Trucks, Susan Tedeschi, Eric Clapton, Robert Randolph and Quinn Sullivan. :It’s erroneous to characterize this 2008 Buddy Guy release, his first in three years, as a comeback, since he’s never been gone. But between a spotlight stealing performance in Martin Scorsese’s Rolling Stones concert flick Shine a Light in the same year and the appearance of Skin Deep, Guy has returned to the crossover arena as the magnetic and dynamic blues journeyman he has always been. Drop the laser anywhere on these dozen tunes, all ... Detail |

Texas Flood(more) »rank: 2144by: Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble
Our review: essential recording:This legendary 1983 debut by the fallen torchbearer of the '80s-'90s blues revival sounds even more dramatic in its remixed and expanded edition. Stevie Ray Vaughan's guitar and vocals are a bit brighter and more present on this 14-track CD. And the newly included bonus numbers (an incendiary studio version of the slow blues 'Tin Pan Alley' that was left off the original release, and live takes of 'Testify,' 'Mary Had a Little Lamb,' and the instrumental 'Wham!' from a 1983 Hollywood concert) illuminate the raw soul and passion that propelled his artistry even when he was under the spell of ...

Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble - Live at Montreux 1982 & 1985(more) »rank: 4444starring: Stevie Ray Vaughan, Double Trouble
Our review: :Studio: Sony Music Release Date: 09/14/2004 :If you have even a passing interest in Stevie Ray Vaughan's peerless mastery of urban blues guitar, you must own Live at Montreux 1982 & 1985. Spaced almost exactly three years apart, these concerts (60 and 93 minutes, respectively) represent the Texan blues god at his fiery best, with Double Trouble (drummer Chris Layton and bassist Tommy Shannon) laying the solid foundation upon which SRV built a Fender-driven sound as fierce as it was perfectly refined. The '82 show was truly 'success in disguise,' because despite booing from a festival audience lulled by a day of ... Detail |
