More Hot Rocks: Big Hits & Fazed Cookies
:Album Description:When you're anthologizing the Rolling Stones, one of the first things you must accept is that you're doomed to failure. No one album can possibly tell the story of the band that's explored so many different musical avenues and recorded so many memorable songs. Still, the double-disc best of HOT ROCKS, and this, its sequel, come perilously close. This set wisely doesn't attempt to be comprehensive. Instead, it just picks out various gems from different points in the band's development. Their R&B/roots period is well-represented by covers of 'It's All Over Now' ...

The Complete Imperial Recordings: 1950-1954
: :A founding father of electric blues in general and Texas blues in particular, guitarist T-Bone Walker influenced countless blues players and, by extension, countless rock & rollers as well. The Complete Imperial Recordings date from the early to mid-1950s, when the idea of electric blues was really taking hold, and the two-disc set is a wealth of classic songs exquisitely performed. While definitely blues, there's more difference between this and the acoustic blues that predated Walker than amplification can account for; there's jazz and swing mixed in as well, as on tracks like ...

Hooker
: :No Description AvailableNo Track Information AvailableMedia Type: CDArtist: HOOKER,JOHN LEETitle: HOOKERStreet Release Date: 10/31/2006DomesticGenre: BLUES TRADITIONAL :There's perfect symmetry in the way this four-disc anthology opens with a raw, solo acoustic 1948 rendition of John Lee Hooker's signature tune, 'Boogie Chillen',' and then closes a half-century later with Eric Clapton teaming with Hooker on the same tune. Though the Mississippi bluesman who relocated to Detroit has been justly celebrated for his spellbinding repetitions and primal incantations, this comprehensive set shows just how much more range and depth there was to Hooker's music ...

The Birth Of Soul : The Complete Atlantic Rhythm & Blues Recordings, 1952-1959
: essential recording:Though this is not the most recent Ray Charles box set collection, it may be the best. That's because it focuses on Ray's great growth in the 1950s, particularly his days with Atlantic Records. The set opens with Ray still in a Charles Brown, smooth-voice, mellow-piano mode, but in short order, he discovers his own identity. From the good time of 'It Should Have Been Me' on disc one, though the orgiastic 'What'd I Say, Parts 1 & 2' on disc three, the man they call 'The Genius' rocks, rolls, raises ...

Howlin Wolf: The Chess Box
: essential recording:This is probably the best Wolf compilation there is in terms of comprehensiveness and digestibility. The problem with collecting the works of prolific artists is that there's so much material; fortunately, Chess made some good selections. Chronicling Howlin' Wolf's career from Memphis, through Chicago, and on into his later years. There are snippets of interviews, as well as the classic tracks you'd expect: 'All Night Boogie', 'Howlin' For My Darling', 'Evil', 'Forty Four', 'Spoonful', and 'I'd Better Go Now.' This box set is a bit much to swallow if you're not ...
