Lead single “Beefsteak Blues (James “Son” Thomas)” and “Catfish Blues (James “Son” Thomas)” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of Blues - Various Artists on ‘Beefsteak Blues (James “Son” Thomas)’. On the Lithuania charts, superstar Blues - Various Artists’s career stalled before it left the starting gate. IF you love Blues - Various Artists, ‘The American Folk and Blues Festival Live ‘82′ Mp3’s is the best!
Catfish Blues (James “Son” Thomas) is possibly the best song Blues - Various Artists has come up. In Announcement By John Cephas the music gets its power. Blues - Various Artists allows each song to breathe and flourish. Take Me Back Baby (Archie Edwards) is worth the money. The sound of Big Boss Man (John Cephas and Phill Wiggins) is difficult to describe, as it seems to squirm in a sensual manner, unlike anything ever created. This is one of those songs that musicians strive to write and create. You can find feelings on this piece of art. Music and lyrics of Tribute To Big Walter (Billy Branch, Phil Wiggins and Carey Bell) creates, for me, fertile ground for daydreaming. Running and Hiding (John Cephas and Phill Wiggins) catches attention immediately, Outside of the singles, my favorite song on The American Folk and Blues Festival Live ‘82 is Good Morning Little School Girl (John Cephas and Phill Wiggins). This track is clearly meant to showcase Blues - Various Artists’s vocal abilities. A great put together song. Blues Harp Blues By Three (Carey Bell, Billy Branch, Phil Wiggins) make listening to Blues - Various Artists like being in some sort of time warp. That Dirty Black Rat (Margie Evans) I just LOVE this mix!
