I am not a real Blues music type of person, but i have to admit ‘J. B. Lenoir - Chess Blues (1952-1954) - CD2′ really is amazing. After debuting at No. 1 last week, Blues - Various Artists’s album J. B. Lenoir - Chess Blues (1952-1954) - CD2 falls to No. 2 with 332,000, a sales slide of 64%. ‘J. B. Lenoir - Chess Blues (1952-1954) - CD2′ kicks the album off with a blast of pure pop energy. J. B. Lenoir - Chess Blues (1952-1954) - CD2 touched my soul like nothing else.
Hard Time Gettin’ Started (Eddie Boyd) is probably the most interesting track on J. B. Lenoir - Chess Blues (1952-1954) - CD2. Still going through J. B. Lenoir - Chess Blues (1952-1954) - CD2 and coming to appreciate Whose Muddy Shoes (Elmore James) more and more with every listen. Eight Ball (Gus Jenkins) hits the heart. Untitled Instrumental (Henry Gray and Morris Pejoe) is maybe the best thing the group’s ever done. Some of the arrangements found on J. B. Lenoir - Chess Blues (1952-1954) - CD2 are surprisingly edgy. Evil (Howlin’ Wolf) without a doubt is the standout song of J. B. Lenoir - Chess Blues (1952-1954) - CD2. Blew our minds when we first heard Forty Four (Howlin’ Wolf). In Mama Talk to Your Daughter (J. B. Lenoir) Blues - Various Artists spins a tale you want to hear to the end. Ice Cream Man (John Brim) is a very good song maybe surprisingly better than you at first might’ve imagined. You have to get essence of the Walkin’ the Boogie (alternate; John Lee Hooker)’s power, to truly understand this masterpiece. Blues with a Feeling (Little Walter) is nothing short of a modern masterpiece. This song is like perfectly aged vintage bordeaux wine not a tequila shot. Fast Boogie (Little Walter) have really caught my ear and imagination. Got to Find My Baby (alternate; Little Walter) great lyrics, dark, deep, angry and cool.Juke (Little Walter) has to be one of the most beautiful tracks on the entire album. Reconsider Baby (Lowell Fulson) to me is the best you can get from Blues - Various Artists. Within the first few notes of Broken Heart (alternate; Memphis Minnie) it’s perfectly clear that Blues - Various Artists is living this song. This track is a killer, it just grabs you instantly. Hoochie Coochie Man (Muddy Waters) is simple, dignified and effective, Blues - Various Artists refusing to over-emote, and demonstrating that less is more. I find myself hearing bits of Who’s Gonna Be Your Sweet Man When I’m Gone (Muddy Waters) here and there throughout my waking hours. This track is just a stunning masterpiece. This is one hell of a track. I’m Mad (Willie Mabon) is a song that will not reduce you to tears but leave you thinking long after J. B. Lenoir - Chess Blues (1952-1954) - CD2 have ended. Truckin’ Little Woman (Willie Nix) is a good listen every once in a while.
