Couldn't Stand the Weather
:Album Description:Reissue of 1984 album with 4 bonus tracks. 2001. essential recording:In a brief interview that precedes this CD's four bonus tracks--all unreleased gems from the original 1984 sessions--Stevie Ray Vaughan makes the point that 'music used to be more based on common everyday occurrences like a train's sound going down the track ... a horse walking.' Then he comes on with a version of Freddie King's 'Hideaway' that chugs like a locomotive. There's also a heretofore unheard slide-guitar-powered 'Give Me Back My Wig' ...

Country Ghetto
:Album Description:JJ Grey & MOFRO's Alligator debut, Country Ghetto features 12 original JJ Grey compositions that come right out of the Southern musical and literary tradition. Grey's ear for detail inhabits his songs, whether it is a story passed down to him from his grandmother or the tribulations of a childhood friend. His voice delivers them with an unflinching strength that makes the personal universal and paints a vivid portrait of an exact time or place with words and music. Like his songs, his rich, ...

Songs We Sing
: :Sincere but not too sincere, cute but not gorgeous, and smart enough to know to steal from the very best, former skateboard pro Matt Costa signed to surfer Jack Johnson's label on the strengths of some very workman-like pop songs and a smooth, appealing voice. Goldilockses of the world are bound to find Costa's unassuming songs just right--and if his work fails to find its way onto the soundtracks of all the hottest television shows, there is little justice in the world. Costa may croon ...

The Original Delta Blues
: :This Columbia Legacy reissue of the 1965 release is one of the few recordings available of one of the blues' founding fathers. It contains some of his best songs, which have unsurprisingly become classics of the Delta blues genre: 'Death Letter,' 'Preachin' Blues,' 'Levee Camp Moan,' 'Pony Blues,' and 'Downhearted Blues' are all here. Though not as comprehensive as Father of the Delta Blues: The Complete 1965 Sessions, this CD is an excellent introduction to this seminal artist's work, revealing the creativity, passion, skillful guitar ...

Voodoo
: 's Best of 2000:Like Robin Hood working on a tip from Chuck D, D'Angelo has stolen back the soul that was missing from the just-add-water R&B scene. Voodoo is a simmering cauldron of sound, a magical collection. Stained with sweat, longing, and rage, this is an album with trouble on the brain. But it also includes sacred sweet nothings and rapturous raw rhythms to get you through the night. --Lizz Mendez Berry Amazon.com:Halfway through the languid midtempo ballad 'Send It On' from D'Angelo's new sophomore ...

The Phenomenal Ruthie Foster
: :Ruthie Foster's the newest voice in old-school soul. Her fifth album is a remarkable flashback to the genre's '60s and '70s heyday, framing her warm butter-and-cayenne-pepper singing with organ, electric piano, shimmering guitar textures, and strong backbeats. That sound, along with her strength as a song interpreter--rippling with beauty on Lucinda Williams's 'Fruits of My Labor,' stunningly emotional on Son House's cautionary Delta spiritual 'People Grinnin' in Your Face'--and her fine-tuned social politics, makes Aretha Franklin, Roberta Flack, and Nina Simone reasonable artistic references.
