The Blues

(39 items, 0 shopping guides)

Hot and humid notes dripping from the rich bluesy sound of The Black Keys, I reach for the fan, the air-conditioner, a cold glass, a piece of ice, I roll down the window, stick my head outside like a dog, mouth open, hoping for a drop of rain, a breeze, a breeze that will blow the blues.

BINGO! by Steve Miller Band

1 recommendation

"Did you know that The Steve Miller Band is one of my guilty pleasures? You can imaging how happy I was that "BINGO!" did not disappoint. The choice of tracks is right on target and the sound is true to the spirit and legacy of their Chicago Blues core. Nicely done! p.s. Storm Thorgerson you the man!"

Mojo by Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers

1 recommendation

"Maybe it's cause the hype is over, maybe it's cause I just got my mojo back, or maybe it's just that Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers have created a album that speaks to me. I can tell you, I won't mind hearing most of the songs on "Mojo" played in heavy rotation."

"Beatles for sale, I knew that Apple logo would come back in a big way. And here it is. The Beatles "Apple Corps logo" has been redesigned as the killer app (oh I really didn't mean to do that). It's a beautiful 3D object that magically contains the Beatles entire digitally remastered music catalogue. It's what Beatles fans have been wanting for years, but more. The unique, apple-shaped USB driv..."

The Roots of Led Zeppelin

1 recommendation

"Yeah, I was one of those kids who thought bands like the Rolling Stones, and Led Zeppelin had sculpted their songs from the streets of England, only to discover (much too late) that the British Invasion that they were part of wasn't only about radio play but also something more interesting--reinterpreting, repackaging, and remarking American Blues music!! Yeah, I know It's not a music industry se..."

For All I Care: The Bad Plus

"David Bowie, Fiona Apple, Radiohead, Joni Mitchell and even Cat Power have dropped into jazz for song or two, but as great as that moment is they just don't seem to get it, we want them to take it all the way, well at least Wendy Lewis and The Bad Plus get it."

Together Through Life (Deluxe Edition): Bob Dylan

2 recommendations

"They say that sex sells, call me crazy but I prefer the Bob Dylan album covers that feature Bob front and center. several Dylan albums have used painting, illustration and photography of other subjects than the iconic curly-haired troubadour, but I never find those covers as captivating as the ones of Dylan himself. And just to lay it on with a thicker stroke, I'd love more Bob Dylan covers with ..."

Keep It Hid: Dan Auerbach

2 recommendations

"If you've ever heard this name it was immediately followed by, "the lead singer of the Black Keys." I know that lots of people love on the Black Keys. Me, not so much a fan. So, they were (in my mind) apparently holding him back. This, his first solo album, is very fresh bluesy album, the reminds me of music from decades ago."

""A Town Called Addis" is an inspired collaboration between amazing singers and musicians in Addis Ababa covering Azmari and traditional styles as well as the popular singing styles of the 60s and 70s and Dub Colossus (Nick Page).

Oumou: Oumou Sangare

"Lovely!!! Check out what Amazon said: This six-foot-tall goddess is indisputably one of modern Africa's greatest singers. Her magnificent, throaty alto and exotic yet accessible style have already won her an impressive international following. Oumou's lyrics are nearly as compelling as her voice and person; her open affirmation of female sensuality and diatribes against polygamy have irritated..."

Spirit in the Dark - Aretha Franklin

1 recommendation

"There's something about the mood of this album cover that suggest that a powerful force shift is about to take place. Maybe it's partly due to the tittle of the album (Spirit in the Dark), or maybe it's because it's one of the most raw Aretha Franklin package designs from her catalogue."

Pink Floyd: Animals

1 recommendation

"The blues is dirty, that's why they banned it from the radio for so long. Once the blues got a hold of the Brits the sound begot much debauchery and lower-class extravagance, some of this is spilled over the trax of Pink Floyd's "animals" album, and makes for some nice sticky road music, personally I'd just play the Pig songs that's why I love it."
