I'm having computer problems. I know it's time to upgrade to a better computer.I think my power supply isdying and I have to replace it,I thought it was a virus,because the computer was acting "funny". So,the top picture is my old computer,and the second picture will be my new "media center" that includes a handy cassette built in to the keyboard to make better music posts.I guess you can't have 4 hard drives,an ipod,and a toaster attached all at once. Oops. Maybe Santa will bring me another computer that works. But I don't know if I was a good blogger or not. Stay tuned for more cool music soon, I promise!
The final two discs,numbers 5 & 6 and one of the greatest blues songwriters ever.He actually blurs the line between old fashioned blues (Southern Delta style transplanted to Chicago urban blues) and rhythm & blues.He sets the standard when he sang Bright Lights,Big City.Reed's guitar playing, singing and songwriting (a triple threat) inspired a lot of the earliest The Rolling Stones,The Animals, and countless other British Invasion bands, and reminded Americans how important their blues artists were and still are.What a wealth of music,made in America.

Here I am again,after taking some much needed time off from blogging,doing other things. I found another vital box of music in my collection that needs to be heard. This particular set is 6 discs with 139 tracks of happening music. I hope to bring more of this kind of music later, I also have some Little Walter,John Lee Hooker, and Earl Hooker(John Lee's cousin),some Skip James discs, I don't know what else,but if you like that kind of stuff, you'd better stayed tuned. I'm on a blues kick, and have been for a while, and maybe I will go back to posting rockabilly and other things in the future. I'm just into this right now....okay? Jimmy Reed The Vee-Jay Years is another Charley series box set, so if you understand what that means it's a giant set,sounds better than anything, and it's as complete as you're going to set. "Charley NEVER releases any crap" is what I say,and you can quote me. This is where it's at, hipsters,there's a lot of bands who covered Jimmy Reed,and when you listen to this set you will know why.

These Ghoulish Things Ace Records Horror Special. Queasy listening from the vaults- 25 Horrible hit picks from the ghoul-den age of Rock 'n' Roll. I especially love the Bobby"Boris" Pickett radio station vintage ads, and the super rare Allan Sherman "My Son,The Vampire". Be afraid- be very afraid!

Here's the last disc,almost forgot there's nine discs total! This one is special special- all alternate takes of some of Muddy's best songs. These are all mostly vintage tunes.
Disc 9: 1.Rollin' Stone 2.All Night Long 3.She's All Right 4.Baby,Please Don't Go 5.I'm Your Hoochie Coochie Man 6. Take The Bitter With The Sweet 7.Take The Bitter With The Sweet 8.She's Into Something 9. Recipe For Love 10.Woman Wanted (8 Takes) 11.Read Way Back (9 Takes including backing track) 12.You Shook Me 13.Elevate Me Mama 14.You Don't Have To Go. Just fucking awesome music,you will probably be listening to this disc over and over,like a nut,like me. It packs the most punch...it's otherworldly. It's hoodoo voodoo. Just listen to the Woman Wanted 8 takes-there's some pretty amazing guitar playing,and these were thrown away! (See take 3) One of those Chess brothers complains he's popping into the mic.Well it's all live in the studio, everyone's doing it live all together.It's great to hear studio chatter it's always funny, to hear them swearing,trying to make a record! One of the takes Muddy says he forgets what he's doing,all while he's playing these incredible guitar runs...he forgets? He must've done this stuff in his sleep he's so natural about it.I'm just not so sure about Muddy's Recipe For Love,I'm thinking mine is more nine disc box sets of more music huh? Another recipe for love would be that Chess Records releases more outtakes and tracks they're sitting on!
Discs seven and eight good music fans: pretty much a lot of the songs appear on the Folksinger album from disc seven. Disc eight really gets moving with some faster blues numbers are probably younger players with Muddy, that are spirited,I'm totally digging the tune My Dog Can't Bark,too bad they didn't keep the song going,it gets pretty interesting,then fades out. I also like the tunes Put Me In Your Layaway Plan, Hard Loser,Find Yourself Another Fool, Kinfolk Blues,and other standard shouters / blues wailers. I'm apt to stay away from the 1968 horn tracks, like Going Back To Memphis, and the country fried Corine,Corina. It just doesn't sound like he's into the groove,man. Oh well,there's still plenty o music for everyone here whatever your thing is.
Disc 7: 1. Elevate Me Mama 2.So Glad I'm Living 3.My Love Strikes Like Lightning 4.Early In The Morning 5.One More Mile 6. 12.Highway 7.You Don't Have To Go 8.Things I Used To Do 9.Wee Wee Baby 10.Sitting And Thinking 11.Clouds In My Heart 12.Got My Mojo Working 13.She's 19 Years Old 14.My Home Is the Delta 15.Long Distance 16.My Captain 17.Good Morning Little Schoolgirl 18.You Gonna Need My Help 19.Cold Weather Blues 20.Big Leg Woman 21.Country Boy 22.Feel Like Going Home

Discs 3 & 4 have 22 and 26 tracks and sound better than any other Muddy Waters CD's I have heard so get 'em while you can. A large amount of songs in this series are written by: Muddy, Bo Diddley, Willie Dixon, Jimmy Reed, Bill Broonzy, and Sonny Boy Williamson. I'm going to let the music speak for itself.

The titles alone should move you.
You can't have Howlin' Wolf without Muddy Waters, so I'm also going to post this whole series here on this blog.The way things are going, maybe blogger might not last much longer,(no don't freak out,just be wary of it) and if you enjoy music as much as I do, it's best to post the things that matter and mean something to you,so that's why I'm veering off into the blues lately. Plus I like listening to it, and find it more creative than today's latest rehashed shit rock coming over the speakers. I'm certain even the artists today wish they had a shred of this man's talent. And for you people who think I'm living in the past,well,I think it's a better place than right nowsville. This ain't no nostalgia trip,this is real music to bite into. And if you're smart,you're gonna pick this up,listen to it, and see for yourself why I think it's great! So much rock & roll and punk comes from the blues. It's honest and real. It's made by people who didn't take music lessons,and they just kept making music,even though it was not popular or widely accepted. When Motown began churning out big city hits, and more polished records for urban blacks, music made for and made by black people everyone abandoned this form of countrified blues.Even though people in Chicago dug it, the new sound was Motown and guys like Muddy had a rough time getting people to buy his records after that. I'm glad the Stones came along and reminded people where the real blues rock came from. I'm glad that Chuck Berry came along and saved Chess records from going down.Chuck's records were more modern, and easily more marketable to radio,they sold well making Muddy able to still record even though his kind of music was on the way out. Muddy Waters 1
The lasts discs- volumes 6 & 7 contain 18 and 24 more tracks each. Gotta have more Wolf, never can get enough. There's some amazing outtakes, on these last disc. I'm talking about disc 7. There's You Gonna Wreck My Life (Alternate Take), Moaning For My Baby (3-4 takes), I've Been Abused (Takes 5-7) Howlin' For My Darlin' (Takes 1-7), and the best stuff is Mr. Airplane Man (Takes 1-2) The Wolf messes up the lyrics, and the engineer, probably Leonard Chess starts telling him,Ah...Wolf...the airplane flies he doesn't sail...motherfucker"...Clearly Wolf just had done a long session, and maybe screwed up a line... usually they recorded long ass sessions, to get the feeling right. All recorded live, why bother adding anything,it's warts and all,and beautiful the way it is. The music,it's spine tingling, it's ferocious, how do you top this? I love the howls, and falsetto echoing howls.This is a cool series of discs and I'm glad I could share them with you. I'm not sure what I'm gonna post next, this series of discs has got a hold on my ears. I might start going through more blues discs, and well, I don't know, find another band to obsess about, like usual. Howlin' Wolf 6
Disc 4 & 5 feature 24 and 25 more songs to wet your whistle. Some of the best songs Willie Dixon ever wrote are on disc 5. And disc 4 is mostly Chester Burnett or Howlin' Wolf's written songs. How can you compare? You can't compare "I Asked For Water" to "Down In The Bottom", they're both equally great. One particular song was written by both Burnett and Dixon and that is "Howlin' For My Darling". Again, they are all strong songs, even the ones,that aren't blues ready classics are still better than many other blues artists best works. Maybe it's the delivery, and the emotional content. You bet it is. Sam Phillips "When I heard Howlin' Wolf, I said,This is for me. This is where the soul of a man never dies!" Then Wolf came over to the studio...he was six foot six, with the biggest feet I've ever seen...He would sit there with two feet planted wide apart,playing nothing but the French harp, and I tell you, the greatest show you could see to this day would be Chester Burnett in my studio". The first session at Sun Records was held on May 14th or in July of 1951,with the Wolf, Willie Johnson, and Willie Steele (Ike Turner added his energetic style on piano on "How Many More Years") There was no attempt to tone down the powerful sound of the band,indeed the first results encapsulate the Wolf's sound: the eerie moans and howls,the rasping and menacing voice,the consistent lyrical theme of being cheated and abused,all fueled by aggressive harp and guitar playing. The results were new,exciting and immediate. I give you, both discs 4 and 5, it's the mostest daddy-o. Howlin' Wolf 4
Discs 2 and 3 have 21 and 20 tracks each, and MANY songs you never heard before. A lot of tracks are alternate takes,and many songs are never played on the radio-EVER! So there's a wealth of music that is begging to be loved by you. My favorite song must be Forty-Four. I'm not really so sure what the song means,but it lumbers along,and I think he's singing about carrying a gun,to do some harm. He wears this gun so long,it made his shoulder sore. I think that's what he's singing, but I guess the lyrics don't mean that much for me,I like the melody and the stomping and the piano,which takes an active role in this song. It's menacing. I also like the Wolf's fine fine harmonica playing. I like the guitar, I like the stomp.I like the drumming. Nobody plays this song on the radio?! What's wrong with you? I'm guessing if some opened minded blues DJ played it, listeners would call and ask about this song,and love it. If you love this band, and Howlin' Wolf's music, I urge you to read a book called Moaning At Midnight-The Life And Times Of Howlin' Wolf By James Segrest & Mark Hoffman. It's a complete biography of an amazing guy. It's a fantastic book. From the Introduction: "He was one of a kind.Nobody I heard before him or after him had that fantastic delivery-that certain something in his voice that seemed like a sword that'd pierce your soul when he'd sing. Wolf was already a great singer and musician when I first met him. To my mind, he's one of the greatest ever.We'll never see another like him." -B.B. King Go ahead and pierce your soul here. Howlin' Wolf 2
Howlin' Wolf born Chester Burnett June 10,1910 - January 10th,1976. He's one of my favorite musicians,and singers,ever! This is from the series on Charly Records, and is very hard to find, and worth tracking down, simply because it's so full of music, it's hypnotizing, it's emotional,it's the greatest blues recordings,made from an amazing man. I'm not the only person who feels this way...So recollected Robert Palmer on seeing Howlin' wolf perform in 1965,but that was only the beginning: "The signal to finish (the show)led to a grand finale of Wolf feigning an exit,and suddenly making a flying leap for the curtain at the side of the stage. Holding the microphone under his beefy right arm and singing into it all the while,he began climbing up the curtain,until he was perched far above the stage,the thick curtain threatening to rip...then he loosened his grip ...slid right back down...hit the stage,cut off the tune,and stalked away,to the most ecstatic cheers of the evening. He was 55 years old". I wish I could have seen that!!! As if the singing and playing didn't slay you, the climbing the curtain surely made you shit your pants, what a showman! Well, while you listen to this disc,please think of that image.This is a powerful performer, and they don't make 'em like this anymore. Howlin' Wolf 1
The final three discs to this set. I wasn't trying to keep it from the fans, just busy doing other musical things. Trust me, I'd never keep you from Chuck Berry,he's just too cool! Well, the last remaining discs here have 14 tracks,16 and 24 per disc, and are just as important of any of the other discs! Now, you are a hipster. Don't forget Chuck inspired The Beatles, The Stones, and The Beach Boys, and untold thousands more musicians, and then all of the non musicians who are just fans! He's in a class all by himself! Chuck 7
Discs Five & Six today, with 25 and 27 tracks each. Still a couple of cool hits and a lot less known tracks from the 1950's, and some from the early 60's to mid 60's.This is perhaps the more less known music: My Mustang Ford, Merrily We Rock & Roll, She Once Was Mine, Ain't That Just Like A Woman, Lonely School Days, I'm A Rocker, No Particular Place To Go, Chuck's Beat, I Want To Be Your Driver, and it's strong as ever with that Chuck Berry patented riff all throughout. It's also some excitable, happy music, the song Butterscotch is a serious guitar workout,instrumental not to be missed. A lot of these 60's tracks have the same themes in them from the vintage 50's Chuck, but they never seem to sound too dated. After It Over is a slow blues instrumental number that really shows his guitar playing off. Everyday We Rock & Roll is yet another guitar riff-fest. Chuck 5
