I Started Out With Nothin' and I Still Got Most of It Left Seasick Steve The most unlikely of stars, sixty-something Seasick Steve Wold might have started out with nothin', but these days he can headline the Royal Albert Hall. The second solo album from the much travelled bluesman (and, let's not forget, studio owner--he didn't suddenly step off a boxcar with a demo tape in hand--refines the sound that made 2006's Dog House Music so instantly appealing. Guests include...    Read More >>

Dog House Music Seasick Steve Seasick Steve is Steve Wold, a moustachioed American bluesman who, on Dog House Music, plays American roots music with the tight-belt economy and authentic spirit of the genre's originators (there's a lineage here, too – Steve was taught his first chords by Delta bluesman KC Douglas). A long-term street-dweller, Wold's instrumentation is simplistic in the extreme: a three-stringed trance guitar,...    Read More >>

The Katie Melua Collection (CD + BONUS DVD) Katie Melua The Katie Melua Collection (CD + BONUS DVD) doesn't appear to be formatted for the US. Both the picture and the audio are out of sync which is such a shame.    Read More >>

O Brother, Where Art Thou? Various Artists Joel and Ethan Coen have long established themselves as film stylists without peer: from Blood Simple to Fargo, their movies have never been less than fascinating, and there has never been any question that their films could not have been made by anyone else. In T-Bone Burnett, the producer of the soundtrack for O Brother, Where Art Thou?, they have finally met their match: Burnett's...    Read More >>

Blues Breakers John Mayall This is a fantastic album. Clapton's playing from one so young (he was 21) and Mayall's singing and keyboards, and arrangements, are just spine-chilling. Best moments for me - Clapton's solo on "Have You heard" and the whole band/arrangement/composition "Double Crossing Time". Oh, and by the way, you get to hear Clapton's first lead vocal on record - "Ramblin on my Mind". Great band, great performances...    Read More >>

Led Zeppelin III Led Zeppelin I bought this album as a teenager in the 70's and never felt it was one of zeps greatest albums compared to Physical Graffiti and vol4 so unfortunately it was the last of the remasters that I bought. Having listened to it a couple of times it has quickly become one of my favourates. Its understated beauty really hit me and touched me particularly "tangerine" and the really beautiful "thats the way"....    Read More >>

Mothership - The Very Best Of (2CD) Led Zeppelin Noisy, loud, headbangers lacking all melody, meaning or "ability" these qualities can sum up all these awful/rotten/shameful rock/metal bands like Led Zeppelin, Metallica, Clash, Iron Maiden, Slade, Radiohead, White Stripes My concern is with NOISE POLLUTION as I have been victim countless times of repulsive loud ugly Led Zeppelin "fans" who were high on drugs/alcohol as    Read More >>

Electric Ladyland: 40th Anniversary Collector's Edition Jimi Hendrix Excellant release under the control of Authentic Hendrix, the Hendrix family business that controls all releases for the great man and a superb job they do too and this release is no exception. The quality of releases just gets better and better, I would recommend avoiding any retail material that is not released by Authentic Hendrix and most serious collectors of Hendrix...    Read More >>

Bad For You Baby Gary Moore If you like Moore, then here is the latest to add to your collection. It's pretty formula stuff - great blues rock - some boogie, some a bit heavier, and of course wonderful long ballards with superb guitar wizardy, delivered only how Moore can. I won't go through track for track, because if your a fan you will get the drift, this is simply more and more of what Gary does best. A couple...    Read More >>

Disraeli Gears Cream Fresh Cream, the album that introduced this seminal super-blues trio to America, was perhaps a bit too blues-based to do the advance hype ("Clapton is God!") justice. Two of its three best-known tracks, after all, were blues covers; it was Disraeli Gears that turned Cream into a "supergroup." Here they pursue the psychedelic ideals of the era with total abandon (the LP cover art...    Read More >>
