Additional Pure Blues Information

A good introduction to modern guitar-based blues, Pure Blues features classics by Muddy Waters, Freddy King, Bobby Bland, and John Lee Hooker, along with recent blues stars like Stevie Ray Vaughan and his followers Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Jonny Lang. While attributing classic status to Susan Tedeschi's "Just Won't Burn" may chafe some purists, this comp clearly wasn't intended for the die-hard blues fanatic. But as an introduction, it illustrates the blues tradition and its influence on rock (and rock's influence on the blues) quite nicely. For fans of the Allman Brothers (whose version of Blind Willie McTell's classic "Statesboro Blues" is included) or Eric Clapton's work with Derek & the Dominos or for dad at Christmas, this would make a good gift. Also, if this manages to inspire anyone to pick up Etta James's classic Tell Mama set, the folks at UTV will have done the world a service. --Mike Johnson

PURE BLUES IS A GREAT MIX OF BLUES ARTISTS, FROM THE OLD TIME BIG MAMA THORNTON AND JIMMY REED, ALL THE WAY UP THE BLUES LADDER TO THE MORE CURRENT KENNY WAYNE SHEPHERD AND JOHNNY LANG. LIKE BLUES. GET THIS CD. ALL THE GREATS ARE HERE. I GA-RONE-TEE. THERE ARE 20 SONGS ON THIS DISC, ALL DONE BY DIFFERENT ARTISTS. AND THE LADDER DON'T MISS A RUNG EITHER. LIKE A REAL MIX.

NOT LIKE SOME "VARIOUS ARTISTS" CDS WITH SOME ARTISTS PERFORMING 2 OR EVEN 3 SONGS. NOT MY CONCEPT OF "VARIOUS". YOU'LL DIG IT. JERSEY SLIM

I bought this CD for my dad who loves the Blues. He likes the best of. and really enjoyed the cd. Full Satisfied with the seller.

What else can be said. Awesome stuff. Read the other reviewers comments, as they sound very seasoned on whats good. I, for one, have been into the blues for a few years and bought this CD. Makes me want to smoke a fat cigar and sit on my back patio with shades on at night time. Er, well.a really good compilation.Buy it and you won't be disappointed.

Mick Jagger and the Stones did a nicer turn on this. WOW. Spare guitar work and raw blues vocals. King's best. This is 2:50 of raw blues.

There is some nice scorching blues guitar work and fine blues vocals. Muddy Waters himself takes on this Willie Dixon song--and as soon as I say it's Muddy Waters, I need say nothing further. This is a neat cut. What a treat. One of Willie Dixon's best compositions. This is a great work. This is another terrific cut. This is a Little Walter song, and Clapton and Allman do it justice."Shame, Shame, Shame." Kenny Wayne Shepherd takes this song on.

King singing the classic "The Thrill Is Gone." In between, works of blues artists such as Stevie Ray Vaughan, Robert Cray, Buddy Guy, The Allman Brothers Band, Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, Freddy King, Jimmy Reed, Albert King, Etta James, and others. Before Elvis, Big Mama Thornton sang an earlier version. B. I get goose bumps listening to this one."Hound Dog." Elvis did a version of this that stood the United States ion its head.

Blues fans will enjoy."LIttle Red Rooster." Oh, yeah. This is another fine rendering of this work. Great guitar work, fine vocals. This starts off with Eric Clapton and Duane Allman singing "Mean Old World" and ends with B. Listen and compare her version with Elvis'. Hers is absolutely great blues and I find it compelling. Wow.The final cut on this CD--"The Thrill Is Gone." One of B. B.

His spare guitar work is more effective than some rock guitarists who spew out zillions of notes--with not a scintilla of the effectiveness of King. If you like blues, you'll like this eclectic CD.Some examples:"Mean Old World." Clapton and Allman do a nice job here. Stunning.There are many other fine works, too.In short, if you are interested in blues, from all manner of singers, you will find this most satisfying. Here, Luther Allison is the artist. Outstanding."Hoochie Coochie Man." This is the real deal. Forget its popularity and get back to the music itself. 5 stars without any question.
