CD Baby Editor's Picks - Blues | |||||||||||||||||||||
 HILLSTOMP: one word - Appropriately named and self-ascribed as "Hill country punk blues," these Hillstomp boys shatter expectations with their curiously-intense mix of delta twang, Appalachian drive and feverous momentum, that, in the receptive centers of the brain, might trigger the same sensations as an unusually sour lemon drop, a hit of wasabi or a cinnamon fireball jawbreaker. If you like your music to drive into the bone, to cut through the B.S. and give your ears a work-out, Hillstomp will exceed your pleasures with the a glorious kind of hyped-up, pungent, ear-burning hillbilly-on-steroids perfection. Having your world shook up is always a good thing. |  MURALI CORYELL: eyes wide open - Combining together, vigorously shaking and centrifuging the timeless spirit of old school rhythm and blues and soul- as in Al Green and Otis Redding- with electric blues, fiery hot guitar and driving blues delivery- as in B.B. King- Murali Coryeli has chemically altered and engineered a top notch blues album that few will find the power to resist. With a refined feel for classic Volt/Stax style, his original voice shines through on every beaming track. |  COOTIE STARK: raw sugar - One of the last great bluesmen from the Piedmont Tradition, Cootie is joined by no other than Taj Mahal on hambone, piano, bass, harp, banjo and guitar. These glorious 72-minutes of heart-aching, soul-singing blues and old-time music make for no less than a perfected masterpiece that any blues collector will want for their collection. With Cootie's gruff and crackly, full-bodied voice, he and Taj make a stunning duo that capture the pure, oral tradition of the blues like a firefly in a jar. Absolutely on and above the mark. |  BRYAN HIMES: lookin' for rl - The weather might be coolin' off, but it's certainly heating up in here when Bryan Himes gets on his deep-groove, delta blues ride. This guy is boiling water, white-flaming excitement and high-wired like an electric fence just darin' you to come near. Heartily inspired by Son House, Robert Johnson, Keb Mo and Jimi Hendrix, he is the habanero pepper of this week's Editor's Picks. For those who like their music on the edge, all emotion hanging out, gut-churning and gritty, you have found your man. |  B.B. KING: b.b. king and friends - Can you imagine having the thrill of being in the audience for a heart-stopping performance of B.B. King and Dave Brubeck on stage together for the first time? Well, you won't have to because "B.B. King and Friends" is exactly that. It doesn't get any better than this, folks. While being a live recording, the quality and acoustic atmosphere is superb. Get the blues directly from the masters, relive some old favorites and indulge in some surprises. A needed adornment to any Blues collection. | | ||||||||||||||||
