Now signed to Blues - Various Artists’s Columbia Records, the title track from second album “Koko Taylor - Chess Blues (1960-1967) - CD4″ leads Blues - Various Artists’s back-to-school campaign. Self-described as Blues with lots of words, Blues - Various Artists comes out swinging on perhaps his best album to date. I am not a real Blues music type of person, but i have to admit ‘Koko Taylor - Chess Blues (1960-1967) - CD4′ really is amazing. Enjoy the show.
Blues - Various Artists is one of artists that allow his songs like First Time I Met The Blues (Buddy Guy) to stand on their own and be heard. Once you hear Keep It To Myself (Buddy Guy), you will listen to it over and over. Too Poor (Detroit Jr.) on Koko Taylor - Chess Blues (1960-1967) - CD4 is solid and easy to listen to. In Jinglin’ Baby (Eddie Burns) Blues - Various Artists spins a tale you want to hear to the end. The Sun Is Shining (alternate; Elmore James) is flawed, nonetheless pretty good song. The sound of I’d Rather Go Blind (Etta James) is difficult to describe, as it seems to squirm in a sensual manner, unlike anything ever created. Something’s Got A Hold On Me (Etta James) - This one has a powerful beat and a good melody. Sitting Here Alone (Hound Dog Taylor) as well as many of songs is a short story in miniature. Goin’ Down Slow (Howlin’ Wolf) is the album’s biggest hit, I think. Killing Floor (Howlin’ Wolf) - I used to hate this song, but now it’s one of my favorites. In The Red Rooster (Howlin’ Wolf) full palet of sound is used by Blues - Various Artists to accentuate the presentation. One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer (John Lee Hooker) which is my favorite is a truly Blues - Various Artists sounding song. I now have Wang Dang Doodle (Koko Taylor) as one of my personal favorites. It’s also one of those rare songs that touchingly comfort the listener. This is the kind of song I think of when I think of Blues - Various Artists. A unique and uplifting song. Musically We’re Gonna Make It (Little Milton) is superior to other tracks in Koko Taylor - Chess Blues (1960-1967) - CD4. The Shakedown (Lloyd Glenn) can be hardly overrated by any means; this is what Blues - Various Artists is all about. Blue Shadows (Lowell Fulson) - To me, this is the best song on the Koko Taylor - Chess Blues (1960-1967) - CD4. Album opener That’s Why I Don’t Mind (Muddy Waters) is a bright, upbeat ditty. Bring It On Home (Sonny Boy Williamson) is the most memorable and gorgeous. The sound in Nine Below Zero (Sonny Boy Williamson) is really warm and Blues - Various Artists’s signature voice is still very much present. Wrinkles (The Big Three Trio) is a song that takes you on the journey before it reaches the conclusion. It took me a little time but I ended up loving Good Moanin’ Blues (Walter Horton).
