Ann Peebles Greatest Hits LP (Vinyl)
& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;Greatest Hits From R & amp;B Chanteuse On Vinyl LP! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; A delicate, slinky figure with a powerhouse voice, Ann Peebles occupied a special place among the many great talents that roamed the halls of Memphis' iconic R & amp;B label Hi Records in the 1960s and 1970s. While producer Willie Mitchell was the company's heart, musicians the Hodges brothers its soul, and Al Green its top star, it was Peebles who gave the label its first national success, and a lasting female identity. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Released in the fall of 1973, & quot;I Can't Stand the Rain & quot; would provide the title track and foundation for Peebles' breakthrough LP. Defined by Mitchell's evocative production touches - including the mesmerizing raindrop intro, played on a newly purchased studio gizmo, the electronic timbale - and some of Hi Rhythm's most supple grooves, the song was transformed into magic. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & quot;I Can't Stand the Rain & quot; would quickly become a top ten R & amp;B hit, a Top 40 pop number, and earned the admiration of fellow artists like David Bowie and John Lennon; the ex-Beatle declared in Billboard that it was & quot;the best song ever & quot;. The success of & quot;Rain & quot; would also net Peebles a Grammy nomination and send her touring across the world. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Over the course of seven albums and dozens of singles for Hi, Peebles expressed a complex range of moods and emotions in her music. Her songs were alternately pleading and defiant, seductive, and destructive - but always utterly soulful. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Even so many years later, Peebles' soul remains truly indomitable - Bob Mehr, 2015 & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Side 1 & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

J.D. Wilkes Fire Dream LP (Vinyl)
& lt;a href=javascript:; & quot; onclick= & quot;document.location.hash='SS'; & quot; & gt; & lt;img src= & quot;/content/images/playbutton.gif & quot; hspace= & quot;10 & quot; align= & quot;left & quot; border= & quot;0 & quot; & gt; & lt;font color= & quot;0000FF & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;Click Here for Video Sample! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;/a & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;Solo Debut Album On Vinyl LP! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Fire Dream is the debut solo from the leader of the Legendary Shack Shakers, J.D. Wilkes. The album, containing the single Walk Between the Raindrops, features members of Squirrel Nut Zippers and Drive-By Truckers. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; A sense of place has long permeated the music of J.D. Wilkes. Hes a native of Paducah, Kentucky, a city located at the confluence of various rivers and cultures an area where musical variety is in the air and in the blood memory of its people. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;Of course, theres bluegrass and hillbilly songs, but also blues, jazz, old time fiddle music, jug band music, even swamp rock, & quot; & lt;/b & gt; says Wilkes. & lt;b & gt; & quot;Its a great intersection there. I think I epitomize that in the way that I write and perform. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Wilkes solo debut, Fire Dream, represents the apotheoses of that vision: a hillbilly-gypsy epic, its an album of art damaged cabaret music, leavened by Latin rhythms and high lonesome hollers. Call it boho bluegrass maybe what Tom Waits would sound like if he were a Kentucky Colonel (a title that Wilkes happens to hold). & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Proving a compelling firebrand of American roots music during his two decades leading experimental rockabilly group Legendary Shack Shakers, Wilkes has a resume and passions that extend far and wide. A visual artist, filmmaker and author, hes served as a session player for Merle Haggard, helped soundtrack HBOs True Blood, penned a pair of books (The Vine That Ate the South and Barn Dances and Jamborees Across Kentucky) and worked as an ethnomusicologist without portfolio, documenting the dying hillbilly culture of Kentucky. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Wilkes creative approach is defined by his home regions rich history as a musical nexus. & quot;Western Kentucky is unique in that a lot of that mountain music, which is otherwise stuck in Appalachia, trickled down and permeated our conscience & quot; he says. & quot;But if you look at it topographically were a flat delta lowland region, a flood zone
so we have a lot in common with the Mississippi Delta and Memphis and we got all that jazz and blues that came up the river as well. & quot; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; That keen understanding of history is partly what drew the interest of Fat Possums Big Legal Mess imprint, which signed Wilkes in 2017. & lt;b & gt; & quot;They saw me as a kindred spirit, & quot; & lt;/b & gt; he says, & lt;b & gt; & quot;in my efforts to archive and field-record and report upon some form of folk music thats in danger of being forgotten. & quot; & lt;br & gt; & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; For his solo debut, however, Wilkes has something more outré in mind than a mere musical lesson or genre exercise. Recorded at Delta-Sonic Sound in Memphis with producer Bruce Watson and Jimbo Mathus, the album finds Wilkes creating a complex tapestry of styles and sounds, playing banjo, harmonica, and piano, adding percussion, and even winding up an old hurdy-gurdy. Aiding him in that effort are a couple kindred musical spirits in guitarist Mathus and multi-instrumentalist Dr. Sick from the ever-eclectic Squirrel Nut Zippers. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & quot;They were the perfect people to bring in. They could play any kind of style, & quot; says Wilkes. & quot;Jimbo has such an intuitive feel for blues and Dr. Sick, man, hes the most amazing musician Ive ever had the privilege of playing with. I dont even know what his real name is, but that guy is awesome. & quot; Rounding out the recording are contributions from Drive-By Truckers bassist Matt Patton, up-and-coming soul chanteuse Liz Brasher on backing vocals, and the horn section from Bluff City R & amp;B band, The Bo-Keys. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The albums opening and title track & quot;Fire Dream & quot; establishes the tone with a cinematic setup. & lt;b & gt; & quot;It sounds as if a gypsy carnival blew in on a tornado and landed in a hillbilly junkyard, & quot; & lt;/b & gt; says Wilkes of the tune. & lt;b & gt; & quot;I tried to pay attention to the texture of the songs, both what was in them and how they connected to each other, and the record as a whole. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Within its ten tracks Fire Dream contains multitudes: from galloping string rambles ( & quot;Wild Bill Jones & quot;) to slow burning laments ( & quot;Walk Between the Raindrops & quot;), hardscrabble narratives ( & quot;Hoboes Are My Heroes & quot;) exotic nocturnes ( & quot;Moonbottle & quot;), and hellfire comedy ( & quot;Bible, Candle and a Skull & quot;). & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Wilkes acid wit shines through on Fire Dream, with his lyrics coming across as both highly crafted and deeply intuitive & lt;b & gt;. & quot;A song is like a puzzle, you have to feel around and figure out how the words fit, & quot; & lt;/b & gt; he says. & lt;b & gt; & quot;It doesnt matter if its Hank, Bob Dylan, Tom Waits or Nick Cave, they all have a knack for knowing the most artful way the words can collide with one another, or flow together. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;a name= & quot;SS & quot; & gt; & lt;/a & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;iframe width= & quot;560 & quot; height= & quot;315 & quot; src= & quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/0SBfPYetagg & quot; frameborder= & quot;0 & quot; gesture= & quot;media & quot; allow= & quot;encrypted-media & quot; allowfullscreen & gt; & lt;/iframe & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side One: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

The Black Keys Rubber Factory LP (Vinyl)
After an explosive debut album and a mellower sophomore effort, Akron duo The Black Keys roar back with & quot;Rubber Factory & quot;, a passionate, catchy, masterpiece that proves these guys are for real. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; One thing Rubber Factory is NOT is slick, but what it IS is a whole bunch of other, finer things: it's an album that manages to swing like a rump-shaking backroom party at 4 AM on one track ( & quot;Just Couldn't Tie Me Down & quot;) yet doesn't hesitate to turn around and raise the hair on the back of your neck with something eerie and lonely ( & quot;The Lengths & quot;). Leaving the edges ragged might not work for the greenswards of the downwardly mobile, but it's the sort of thing that works just fine for music if you have the right touch, and the Black Keys have that indelicacy down to a gutter science. Rubber Factory is raw in the best meaning of the word. Rubber Factory is unadulterated and pure. Raw in the Iggy and the Stooges sense. Raw in the manner of Charley Patton's scratchiest gospel blues sides. Rubber Factory is the sound of The Black Keys reveling in all their high ragged glory, but also coming into their own as stunningly talented songwriters and producers. Its a classic album, vital and fresh, that rewards the listener continually from start to finish. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Musicians: & lt;br & gt; Dan Auerbach, vocals, guitar & lt;br & gt; Patrick Carney, drums & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1. When the Lights Go Out & lt;br & gt; 2. 10 A.M. Automatic & lt;br & gt; 3. Just Couldn't Tie Me Down & lt;br & gt; 4. All Hands Against His Own & lt;br & gt; 5. The Desperate Man & lt;br & gt; 6.

Aeroplane Blues & lt;br & gt; 12. Keep Me & lt;br & gt; 13. Till I Get My Way
The Black Keys Chulahoma: The Songs Of Junior Kimbrough LP (Vinyl)
This Black Keys EP, following The Rubber Factory, will satisfy every bit as much as a full-length LP of Keys original material. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Chulahoma contains the Songs of Junior Kimbrough, who is probably one of the rawest blue artists ever. The Black Keys really capture his sound and take it a step further by using their distorted guitar and raw backbone drumming. Chulahoma has a more raw sound than their previous LP, Rubber Factory. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1. Keep Your Hands Off Her & lt;br & gt; 2. Have Mercy On Me & lt;br & gt; 3. Work Me & lt;br & gt; 4. Meet Me In The City & lt;br & gt; 5. Nobody But You & lt;br & gt; 6. My Mind Is Ramblin'
The Black Keys Thickfreakness LP (Vinyl)
Sitting in a room whose walls are so blue they look black, digging into the joy-and-pain double helix of existence and finding heavy soul, kicking out a blues rock rumpus in search of salvation...this is the electrifying world of The Black Keys and their sophomore album Thickfreakness. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;Building upon but never merely appropriating the discontent of 20th century Delta Blues, Thickfreakness applies traditional blues reflexes to the modern day daemons of social alienation, vocational mediocrity, and the urban grind... Just how The Black Keys achieved this deliciously unencumbered ferocity on Thickfreakness is really no mystery. The LP was primarily recorded in 14 hours on an early 80s Tascam 388 eight-track down in Carneys basement. But whats remarkable is how tight and focused it sounds given this expedited timeline... Alongside the ghosts of Son House and Muddy Waters, youll hear the assiduous, frenzied energies that The Black Keys exhumed in Carneys cellar during the Thickfreakness sessions. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - Henry Hauser, Consequence Of Sound, May 11, 2013 & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1. Thickfreakness & lt;br & gt; 2. Hard Row & lt;br & gt; 3. Set You Free & lt;br & gt; 4. Midnight In Her Eyes & lt;br & gt; 5. Have Love Will Travel & lt;br & gt; 6. Hurt Like Mine & lt;br & gt; 7. Everywhere I Go & lt;br & gt; 8. No Trust & lt;br & gt; 9. If You See Me & lt;br & gt; 10. Hold Me In Your Arms & lt;br & gt; 11. I Cry Alone
R.L. Burnside/Mr. Wizard LP (Vinyl)
Inspired by John Lee Hooker's '50s hit & quot;Boogie Chillun', & quot; R.L. began singing blues and playing guitar. In addition to the Hooker 45 rpm there were other local forces that influenced R.L as well, such as Mississippi Fred McDowell and Ranie Burnette. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; In 1997 R.L. released Mr. Wizard, Fat Possum's debut record on their new distribution label Epitaph. The album featured R.L's hardcore touring mates, grandson Cedric Burnside and adopted son Kenny Brown. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1. Over The Hill & lt;br & gt; 2. Alice Mae & lt;br & gt; 3. Georgia Women & lt;br & gt; 4. Snake Drive & lt;br & gt; 5. Rollin' And Tumblin' & lt;br & gt; 6. Out On The Road & lt;br & gt; 7. Highway 7 & lt;br & gt; 8. Tribute To Fred & lt;br & gt; 9. You Gotta Move
R.L. Burnside/Too Bad Jim LP (Vinyl)
In the early '90s the documentary film based on author Robert Palmer's book Deep Blues featured R.L. as one of its highlights. Subsequently Palmer produced R.L.'s Too Bad Jim for the fledgling Fat Possum label. Along with Junior Kimbrough's All Night Long, Too Bad Jim was one of the most important and influential blues albums of the '90s. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1. Shake 'Em On Down & lt;br & gt; 2. When My First Wife Left Me & lt;br & gt; 3. Short-Haired Woman & lt;br & gt; 4. Old Black Mattie & lt;br & gt; 5. Fireman Ring The Bell & lt;br & gt; 6.

R.L. Burnside First Recordings 180g LP (Vinyl)
The raw, powerful, authentic delta blues emanating from Mississippi's legend R.L. Burnside on First Recordings will please blues purists and audiophiles alike. Recorded in 1968 by George Mitchell utilizing & quot;a portable $168 recorder, a shack and lots of cheap rum & quot;, Burnside's dynamic voice, footstomp and acoustic guitar encapsulate the emerging mastery of a voice unmarked by 35 years of Northern Mississippi hard living. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Opening track, & quot;Just Like a Bird without a Feather & quot; is a slow, haunting tune that starts out with R.L. singing to his lover whom he misses because he has murdered her for & quot;cheatin' & quot;, and now after sentencing, & quot;home ain't where it used to be & quot;. From jail, we hop on a train & quot;Goin' Down South & quot; for a tune about getting the hell out of the North and going back home (most likely inspired by Burnside's stint in Chicago during the 50's when his father, brother, and uncle were all murdered within a month's time.) The track rumbles like a locomotive and features Burnside's fierce, chugging guitar work. Other tracks like & quot;Walkin' Blues & quot; also showcase Burnside's monster slide chops. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Recorded by George Mitchell in 1968. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Features: & lt;br & gt; Limited Edition 180g Vinyl & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

R.L. Burnside/Come On In LP (Vinyl)
Burnside spent most of his life in the rural hill country of northern Mississippi, working as a sharecropper and a commercial fisherman, as well as playing guitar at weekend house parties. He was first inspired to pick up the guitar in his early in life after hearing the 1948 John Lee Hooker single, & quot;Boogie Chillen & quot;. He learned music largely from Mississippi Fred McDowell, who lived nearby in an adjoining county. He also cited his cousin-in-law, Muddy Waters, as an influence. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Venturing into new territory of beats and grooves, Burnside joins producer Tom Rothrock for a series of & amp;nbsp; remixes. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Features: & lt;br & gt; Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Al Green Al Green's Greatest Hits LP (Vinyl)
& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - Rated 52/500! & lt;br & gt; Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Songs of All Time - & quot;Tired Of Being Alone & quot; - Rated 299/500! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; A classic Al Green title remastered! & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Greatest Hits epitomizes the trademark sound of the devastating duo of Al Green and producer Willie Mitchell, with 10 of R & amp;B music's all-time gems. The album was released in 1975 and in 2003 was ranked #52 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Al Green was the first great soul singer of the '70s and arguably the last great Southern soul singer. With his seductive singles for Hi Records in the early '70s, Green bridged the gap between deep soul and smooth Philadelphia soul. He incorporated elements of gospel, interjecting his performances with wild moans and wails, but his records were stylish, boasting immaculate productions that rolled along with a tight beat, sexy backing vocals, and lush strings. The distinctive Hi Records sound that the vocalist and producer Willie Mitchell developed made Al Green the most popular and influential soul singer of the early 1970s, influencing not only his contemporaries, but also veterans like Marvin Gaye. Green was at the peak of his popularity when he suddenly decided to join the ministry in the mid-'70s. At first, he continued to record secular material, but by the '80s, he was concentrating solely on gospel. During the late '80s and '90s, he occasionally returned to R & amp;B, but he remained primarily a religious performer for the rest of his career. Nevertheless, Green's classic early '70s recordings retained their power and influence throughout the decades, setting the standard for smooth soul. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;The honey-voiced Green made some of the most visionary soul music of the Seventies & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - Rolling Stone & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;This collection, with hits such as & quot;Let's Stay Together & quot; and & quot;Tired of Being Alone, & quot; sums up an amazing six-album run in the early Seventies. That period ended in 1974 when a spurned woman threw a pot of hot grits on Green and then shot herself; soon after, Green bought a church in Memphis and became a minister. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - www.rollingstone.com & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;After a show in Detroit, Green woke up before dawn the next day at a motel in rural Michigan with a song forming in his mind. Half an hour later, he had 'Tired of Being Alone.' But Mitchell wasnt much interested in Green's own material. 'I was toting my song around in my pocket for days on end, saying, 'Hey, I got a song,' Green said. 'Finally, at the end of the session, I said, 'Well, I still got a song.' & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - Rolling Stone & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Features: & lt;br & gt; Limited Edition & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Nevertheless, Green's classic early '70s recordings retained their power and influence throughout the decades, setting the standard for smooth soul. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;After topping the R & amp;B and pop charts with Let's Stay Together, Green released his second LP of that year, one that was even more sensual than its predecessor. & quot;Love and Happiness & quot; is a slow-building masterpiece: His band provided the subtle groove; Green added a mountain of soul. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - www.rollingstone.com & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Features: & lt;br & gt; 180g Vinyl & lt;br & gt; Limited Edition & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Al Green Let's Stay Together 180g LP (Vinyl)
A classic Al Green title remastered and pressed on 180g Vinyl! & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Let's Stay Together was originally released in 1972 and was the follow-up to & quot;Al Green Gets Next To You & quot;. The album peaked at number eight on the pop albums chart and number one on the soul album chart. It marked the beginning of Green's classic period of critically acclaimed albums. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Al Green was the first great soul singer of the '70s and arguably the last great Southern soul singer. With his seductive singles for Hi Records in the early '70s, Green bridged the gap between deep soul and smooth Philadelphia soul. He incorporated elements of gospel, interjecting his performances with wild moans and wails, but his records were stylish, boasting immaculate productions that rolled along with a tight beat, sexy backing vocals, and lush strings. The distinctive Hi Records sound that the vocalist and producer Willie Mitchell developed made Al Green the most popular and influential soul singer of the early 1970s, influencing not only his contemporaries, but also veterans like Marvin Gaye. Green was at the peak of his popularity when he suddenly decided to join the ministry in the mid-'70s. At first, he continued to record secular material, but by the '80s, he was concentrating solely on gospel. During the late '80s and '90s, he occasionally returned to R & amp;B, but he remained primarily a religious performer for the rest of his career. Nevertheless, Green's classic early '70s recordings retained their power and influence throughout the decades, setting the standard for smooth soul. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;The honey-voiced Green made some of the most visionary soul music of the Seventies & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - Rolling Stone & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Features: & lt;br & gt; Limited Edition & lt;br & gt; 180g Vinyl & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Junio Kimbrough/You Better Run The Essential...2LP (Vinyl)
David & quot;Junior & quot; Kimbrough, quite possibly the most important blues guitarists of the second half of the 20th century, redefined blues. Junior's approach to music is so hugely different from anything that came before him that he ranks among the three greatest bluesmen of all: Son House, Bukka White, and Fred McDowell. An originator, Junior did more than build on certain tradition or perfect a certain style. Junior re-imagined the blues; he made a sound for himself. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; If Junior's sister had been any kind of baby-sitter he might not have picked up the guitar. When Junior was too small to help his father work the fields his eldest sister stayed home with him. She was supposedly watching him the day he took his father's guitar & quot;off the high shelf & quot;, where his father kept everything he didn't want his children fooling with. It became routine: when his father left for the fields, Junior carefully took down the guitar. He learned fast and well, well enough to teach a local white boy, Charlie Feathers, how to play. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Junior was six years old, and his sister was doing her usual band-up job of babysitting the day he took a gallon jug of corn off the high shelf. His mother found him in an alcohol-induced coma; she thought Junior was dead. Junior's father recognized the problem and knew the solution: his daughter needed a whipping and Junior belonged in the field. After two years of high school Junior was lured into Holly Springs by a job at the John Deere dealership. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Junior couldn't remember the exact date he deliberately set out to create music but knew the reasons. He was still a young man and had gone as far as he could go at John Deere. If Junior was gonna make his mark in the world, he'd have to do it with a guitar. Up until then he'd been playing the same country blues standards, as well as the contemporary hits of Little Milton and Albert King, in the same jukes and clubs that his long-time friend and rival R.L. Burnside played. And then Junior stopped playing covers and stopped taking requests. Determined not to become just another 'entertainer' or 'performer', Junior realized playing covers only helped the composers or the artist who first recorded the song. He wasn't going to help anybody, ever again. From then on, Junior would only play Junior. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; He might've been the first person in his family to work off the farm, but Junior never gave up his rural habits like throwing parties every Sunday night with his furniture dragged out in the yard so more people could fit. Before long Junior had to rent a one-bedroom apartment to get a break from the chaos he'd started at home. Junior's old house became more than a club. It was an entity: it was Junior's Place -- and without help from a sign or telephone locals gathered on Sunday nights to drink and dance. Junior understood music, and had a gift for songwriting, and began developing the music that was first recorded in the mid-'80s for a Memphis State single. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Unfortunately, David & quot;Junior & quot; Kimbrough didn't release his first album until 1992, when he was 62, but when he finally made his first album, All Night Long (produced by Robert Palmer for Fat Possum Records), the world took notice. Rolling Stone was the first to acknowledge Junior and awarded the album four stars. In addition to giving his music long overdue exposure, All Night Long gave the Fat Possum label hope. Junior, for the most part, was not physically able to tour, now that he finally had the support of a record company. There were notable exceptions: a string of dates with Iggy Pop, and several tours with the Fat Possum Circus (a package deal). But the news traveled - to hear Junior you had to go to Mississippi. Rock bands such as the Rolling Stones, Sonic Youth, and U2 made pilgrimages to Holly Springs to experience his club and hear Junior with his son Kinney Malone on drums and Garry Burnside on bass. Junior went on to record Sad Days, Lonely Nights, Most Things Haven't Worked Out and the posthumously released God Knows I Tried (all on Fat Possum). & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Junior was 67 when he died of heart failure on January 17, 1998 at Mildred's apartment in the Holly Springs public housing project, watching TV on her couch. Mildred Washington, his companion of 30 years, had been taking care of him. Junior Kimbrough still kept a one-room bachelor's apartment at the time of his death: immaculately clean, with nothing whatsoever on the walls or tables, no pictures, no tour posters, nothing. Junior knew what he had accomplished, and didn't need any souvenirs. In addition to the 36 children he claimed, Junior put his brand on music. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Double Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; Gatefold Jacket & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Musicians: & lt;br & gt; Junior Kimbrough, vocals, guitar & lt;br & gt; Gary Burnside, bass & lt;br & gt; Kenny Malone, drums & lt;br & gt; Charlie Feathers, vocals, guitar (LP1, Side A, Track 1) & lt;br & gt; Kenny Brown, guitar (LP1, Side B, Track 3, LP2, Side C, Track 3, LP2, Side D, Track 1) & lt;br & gt; Dale Beavers, bass (LP2, Side D, Track 2) & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; LP1 - Side A: & lt;br & gt; & lt;/b & gt; 1.

Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Musician! & lt;br & gt; Includes Limited Time Free MP3 Download of Entire Album! & lt;br & gt; Features & quot;I Can't Get Next To You & quot;, & quot;I'm A Ram & quot;, & amp; & quot;Tired Of Being Alone & quot;!! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Born April 13, 1946 in Forest City, Arkansas, Al Green began singing in his family's gospel group. His distinctive vocal talent and extraordinary ability to master pop, R & amp;B, and gospel genres has enabled him to become an international superstar. Green is Hi Records' most awarded singer and songwriter. In a phenomenal career spanning more than thirty years, Green has charted six #1 hits and been inducted into the prestigious Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The follow up to Green Is Blues, Gets Next To You is the definitive masterpiece by the Mitchell-Green LTD. Improving on the characterization of the trademark HI sound, Willie Mitchell's decision to switch from the gritty syncopations of deep Southern soul to a slower and more seductive base supports an Al Green probably at his best. There are no false steps here, since every single track on the album is a pillar of the genre, from the opening massive cover version of the Temptations' & quot;I Can't Get Next To You & quot;, which is reinvented with a lethal dose of irresistible groove, to the perfect 1-2 pitch of & quot;Tired Of Being Alone & quot; followed by & quot;I'm A Ram. & quot; If you are a romantic, this is your absolute soundtrack! & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;Al Green's first four albums are the beginning of the truly sublime rhythm-and-blues story of the 1970s: It's a story about one of the most soulful voices in pop history a rough yet refined tenor combined with a mystically tight Memphis studio band. For generations of inheritors (from Jodeci to U2) and lovers, Green, producer Willie Mitchell and the five-man Hi Records house band set the benchmark for soul. & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;Al Green & quot; means not only the artist but also a sound: a jazz-bred sparseness and life inside a wonderfully clean, accessible groove. 1970's Green Is Blues doesn't yet have all this legendary muscle together...On 1971's Gets Next to You and 1972's Let's Stay Together and I'm Still in Love With You, the Red Sea parts. Green's singing and the band's arrangements act in thrilling concert, offering a controlled abandon that you don't often hear this side of, say, Miles Davis and Gil Evans... & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - James Hunter, rollingstone.com, February 11, 2003 & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; Limited Time Free MP3 Download of Entire Album & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Limited Time Free MP3 Download of Entire Album! & lt;/font & gt; & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;The detachment you can feel throughout our younger records is gone. We felt like it was time to make a bigger, more generous statement. & quot; & lt;/b & gt;When describing the new album, Heaven (produced by Phil Ek - Fleet Foxes, Band of Horses, Built to Spill etc.), the Walkmen lead singer Hamilton Leithauser portrays a band hitting maturity, comfortable in its mastery, after a decade together. Adds guitarist Paul Maroon, & lt;b & gt; & quot;when you're starting out, you're sitting there trying to come up with a big idea, but after a while, you learn about the process of writing. You learn about your friends in the band and how they work best. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; It's been ten years since the Walkmen made their debut album, Everybody Who Pretended To Like Me Is Gone. Ten years since they mixed the lovingly recorded analogue tapes down to the cheapest CD burner they could find. Ten years since lead singer Hamilton Leithauser snapped guitarist Paul Maroon's arm in a celebratory wrestling match. Ten years since critics attached them to a New York scene they never wanted any part of. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; But when Leithauser sings & quot;We Can't Be Beat, & quot; on the opening track of their new album, he means it, like Cool Hand Luke getting up off the floor for one more round. & lt;b & gt; & quot;The world is ours, & quot; & lt;/b & gt; he declares. This time, he may be right. & lt;p & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;'Heaven,' the title track off the Walkmen's seventh album (out June 5 on Fat Possum/Bella Union), is free of the youthful detachment of the band's previous releases, harnessing their energy into a sweeping, more mature arrangement. Combining jangly guitars, throbbing two-chord bass and an engaging tambourine, 'Heaven' works under a 'less is more' theory while maintaining a certain level of arena aspirations. Frontman Hamilton Leithauser belts, 'Remember/Remember/What we fight for,' during a cinematic chorus that eventually feeds into the song's most memorable lyric: 'Don't leave me now/You're my best friend/All of my life/You've always been.' The Walkmen somehow manage to make desperation empowering on 'Heaven,' and following the group's critically acclaimed 2010 album Lisbon, its latest single boasts of a newfound paternal energy. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - Maria Sherman, billboard.com & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; This Release Marks 10 Year Anniversary as a Band & lt;br & gt; Limited Time Free MP3 Download of Entire Album & lt;br & gt; Produced by Phil Ek (Band of Horses, Fleet Foxes, Built to Spill) & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Hamilton Leithauser, vocals, guitar & lt;br & gt; Paul Maroon, guitar, piano & lt;br & gt; Walter Martin, organ, bass & lt;br & gt; Peter Bauer, organ, bass & lt;br & gt; Matt Barrick, drums & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side One: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Iggy Pop & The Stooges Ready To Die 150g LP (Vinyl)
& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;First Full Album Of All-New Material Since Legendary & quot;Raw Power & quot; Sessions! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Better 40 years later than never & lt;/b & gt;...The follow-up to the first record ever to bear the Iggy and the Stooges logo - the immortal proto-punk masterpiece Raw Power - Fat Possum releases the all-new Iggy and the Stooges studio album, & quot;Ready To Die & quot;. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Ready To Die finds Iggy Pop, guitarist & lt;b & gt;James Williamson & lt;/b & gt; and drummer & lt;b & gt; Scott & quot;Rock Action & quot; Asheton & lt;/b & gt; reunited for a full album of all-new material for the first time since the legendary Raw Power sessions, with & lt;b & gt;Mike Watt & lt;/b & gt; filling in for the late Ron Asheton on bass. the results are the closes thing to a time capsule to 1973 - or at least to Iggy's subsequent efforts with Williamson, including 1977's Kill City and 1979's New Values - that rock 'n' roll is likely to proffer in this millennium. Ready To Die's opening one-two of & quot;Burn & quot; and & quot;Sex & amp; Money & quot; pair sublimely blunt and self-explanatory subject matter with back alley razor-blade guitars and a troglodytic rhythmic stomp as intensely single-minded as Iggy's lyrical statements of intent. Elsewhere on the album, anthems abound in the form of the most dead-on rallying cry for the lower-working-class dispossessed to date - the succinctly and aptly title & quot;Job & quot; - as well as a title track that mixes a signature Iggy Pop mission statement of angry desperation with guitar pyrotechnics that recall those halcyon opening salvos of & quot;Search & amp; Destroy & quot;. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Just as Iggy exhumed the original Stooges name when he reunited in 2003 with the Asheton brothers, the revival of the Iggy and the Stooges moniker that first appeared on the cover of Raw Power heralded the return of guitarist James Williamson to the fold in 2009, or as Iggy put it then & lt;b & gt; & quot;Although 'the Stooges' died with Ron Asheton, there is still 'Iggy and the Stooges'. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; As far as the decision to record and release a new Iggy and the Stooges album for the first time since 1973, Iggy recently commented: & lt;b & gt; & quot;My motivation in making any record with the group at this point is no longer personal. It's just a pig-headed f**king thing I have that a real f**king group when they're an older group they also make f**king records. They don't just go and twiddle around on stage to make a bunch of f**king money.. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;[G]reat news: Ready to Die is better than anyone could rationally expect. [Guitarist James] Williamson makes a potent accomplice as co-writer and producer dig the sharp, punchy sound and unleashes a barrage of nicely spiky electric riffs, as well as some surprisingly tender acoustic licks. And if the snarling fills that open leadoff track 'Burn' consciously strive to echo 'Search and Destroy,' Williamson manages to pull it off with brutal flair. Philosopher Iggy remains the main attraction, of course. Out of control in the early '70s but fully in command today, he embodies, as ever, the twin impulses governing the fully lived life, loftily pondering the meaning of existence even as he seeks answers in primal pleasures... Ready to Die is a weirdly exhilarating gem, thanks to Iggy's fiery eloquence and the Stooges' still-raw power. Apparently rock'n'roll can be an old man's game after all. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - Jon Young, SPIN, Rated 8/10 & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 150 Gram Vinyl & lt;br & gt; Includes Limited Time MP3 Download of Entire Album & lt;br & gt; Full Lyrics & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Iggy Pop, vocals & lt;br & gt; James Williamson, guitars & lt;br & gt; Scott & quot;Rock Action & quot; Asheton, drums & lt;br & gt; Mike Watt, bass & lt;br & gt; Steve Mackay, saxophone & lt;br & gt; Toby Dammit, percussion & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side A: & lt;br & gt; & lt;/b & gt;1.

Fat Possum is proud to reissue four this title from his early career. Van Zandt's most prolific (and most critically acclaimed) decade was from 1969 and 1978, and includes the albums & quot;Townes Van Zandt & quot;, Our Mother the Mountain & quot;, & quot;Delta Momma Blues & quot; and & quot;Flyin' Shoes & quot;. These four titles are the heart of any serious consideration of Van Zandt's career. Those four albums feature some of the most iconic cover art in album history (designed by Milton Glaser), and each is a classic in every sense of the word. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The second album by Townes Van Zandt, released in 1969, is generally acknowledged as his first masterpiece. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 180g Vinyl & lt;br & gt; Limited Edition & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Townes Van Zandt, guitar, vocals & lt;br & gt; James Burton, dobro, guitar & lt;br & gt; Mike Deasy Sr., guitar & lt;br & gt; Jack Clement, guitar & lt;br & gt; David Cohen, guitar & lt;br & gt; Don Randi, keyboards & lt;br & gt; Jules Jacob, flute & lt;br & gt; Ben Bennay, harmonica & lt;br & gt; Charlie McCoy, bass, guitar, harmonica, keyboards & lt;br & gt; Harvey Newmark, bass & lt;br & gt; Lyle Ritz, bass & lt;br & gt; Chuck Domanico, bass & lt;br & gt; John Clauder, drums & lt;br & gt; Donald Frost, drums & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

The set also includes liner notes by Robert Gordon, Bob Mehr & amp; Geoffrey Himes, and a Hi Records 7 & quot; adapter! & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;What a run. Twelve albums with Hi-Records and 26 singles. Five of the albums sold gold, one going on to platinum. Six in a row hit the top of the R & amp;B charts, five broke the pop top 20. Six #1 R & amp;B singles, six more at #2 or #3; on the pop side, 7 were top ten. There's something about those 1970s recordings that makes them stand out, makes them more than the work of a few men. They are about love, they are about sex, they are about sweat and flesh and lips and eyeballs - and they are divine. They are so full of feel and hmanity and love that they celebrate the holiness of creation and creativity. These songs transcend the physical world by celebrating physical love, they imbue the human touch with spiritual feeling. They are musical incense. These Al Green songs, these Willie Mitchell productions, these collaborations from the Hodges brothers, from brother James Mitchell, from the Rhodes, the Chalmers, the regular horn and string players - these works of art make the world look different. They make the world sound different. They put the loved ones you see everyday in a different light. Al Green, as he declared, is love. He's also art. Long lasting, smooth sounding, very appealing art in the very highest order. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - Robert Gordon & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; 26 Remastered 45rpm 7 & quot; Vinyl Singles & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Remaster sourced from original tapes & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Large hole black vinyl & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Original Hi Records sleeve design & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Custom Hi Records large hole 7 & quot; adapter & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Housed in green linen, gold foil wrapped box with lift-off lid & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; 56-page Hardcover book & lt;br & gt; Book features: & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Full-color with matte anti-scratch finish & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Essays from Robert Gordon, & quot;Musical Incense & quot;; Bob Mehr, & quot;The Hi Record Story & quot;; Geoffrey Himes, & quot;The Gospel According To Al Green & quot; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Disc 1: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; I Want to Hold Your Hand / What Am I Gonna Do With Myself & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Disc 2: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; One Woman / Tomorrow's Dreams & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Disc 3: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; You Say It / Gotta Find A New World & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Disc 4: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Right Now Right Now / All Because & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Disc 5: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; I Can't Get Next To You / Ride Sally Ride & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Disc 6: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Driving Wheel / True Love & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Disc 7: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Tired of Being Alone / Get Back Baby & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Disc 8: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Let's Stay Together / Tomorrow Dreams & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Disc 9: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Look What You Done For Me / La La For You & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Disc 10: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; I'm Still In Love With You / Old Time Lovin' & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Disc 11: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; You Ought To Be With Me / What Is the Feeling & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Disc 12: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Call Me (Come Back Home) / What A Wonderful Thing & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Disc 13: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Here I Am (Come Take Me) / I'm So Glad You're Here & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Disc 14: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Livin' For You / It Ain't No Fun To Me & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Disc 15: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Let's Get Married / So Good To Be Here & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Disc 16: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Sha-La-La (Make Me Happy) / School Days & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Disc 17: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; L-O-V-E (Love) / Wish You Were Here & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Disc 18: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Oh Me, Oh My (Dreams In My Arms) / Strong As Death & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Disc 19: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Full of Fire / Could I Be the One & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Disc 20: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Let It Shine / There's No Way & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Disc 21: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Keep Me Crying / There Is Love & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Disc 22: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; I Tried To Tell Myself / Something & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Disc 23: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Love & amp; Happiness / Glory Glory & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Disc 24: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Belle / Chariots of Fire & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Disc 25: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; I Feel Good / Feels Like Summer & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Disc 26: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; To Sir With Love / Wait Here

Bukka White Worried Blues LP (Vinyl)
& lt;header & gt;
& lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;First Time On Vinyl LP! & lt;br & gt;
'Worried Blues' Series of Rare Recordings From Iconic Delta Blues Artists! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;/header & gt;
& lt;p & gt;'Worried Blues' is a series of 10 albums featuring rare and previously out-of-print recordings developed in collaboration with Amazon Originals. Worried Blues features rare, lost, and out-of-print recordings from 10 towering figures of 20th Century delta
blues, including & lt;strong & gt;R.L. Burnside, Reverend Gary Davis, Honeyboy Edwards, Mississippi John Hurt, Skip James, Furry Lewis, Little Brother Montgomery, Houston Stackhouse, Bukka White & lt;/strong & gt;, and & lt;strong & gt;Reverend Robert Wilkins & lt;/strong & gt;. There is
one full album devoted to each artist. & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;The bulk of Worried Blues was recorded from 1963-1972 by & lt;strong & gt;Gene Rosenthal & lt;/strong & gt;, blues scholar and founder of Adelphi Records, along with contributions from acclaimed musicologist and one of Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time,
& lt;strong & gt;John Fahey & lt;/strong & gt;. The 10 albums provide a rich and varied catalog of artists who were scattered across the Mississippi Delta, largely inactive until a new generation sought them out. & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;Rosenthal and Fahey came upon these artists through word-of-mouth tips, hopeful searches, and cosmic kismet. For & lt;strong & gt;Skip James & lt;/strong & gt;, these recordings would be the first since his initial rise during the Great Depression some 30 years prior. In
the case of & lt;strong & gt;Bukka White & lt;/strong & gt;, a nondescript letter from Fahey sent to & quot;Booker T. Washington White (Old Blues Singer) & quot; with no address, miraculously made its way into the right hands. These recordings sat untouched for over two decades before
seeing a limited CD release in the early 1990s on Adelphi. Worried Blues represents the music's first widespread release, and first time on LP. & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;These recordings have long been highly treasured, primarily for their striking variety. Despite nine out of the ten artists hailing from central and northern Mississippi, no two styles are alike. From the ragtime folk-tinged blues of & lt;strong & gt;Mississippi John Hurt & lt;/strong & gt;,
to the ebullient signature slide guitar of & lt;strong & gt;Furry Lewis & lt;/strong & gt;, which would later earn him an opening slot on tour with the Rolling Stones, Worried Blues preserves an exceptionally rich moment in our cultural history. & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;In his thoughts on the series, Grammy-winning music historian Elijah Wald explains, & lt;strong & gt; & quot;the richness of Mississippi blues derived from the combination of isolated, majority-black regions populated largely by young newcomers from other areas as the Delta swamps were drained at the turn of the 20th Century, and these players created quirky, individual styles by mixing older sounds with what they were hearing from neighbors, records, minstrel and vaudeville troupes, and whatever other influences came their way. & quot; & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;blockquote cite= & quot;quote source & quot; & gt;
The pieces here are taken from live performances when Bukka was on tour in 1963 and are a good cross section of his style that took place from his last session in 1940 up until his rediscovery.

Honeyboy Edwards endured considerably more than his share of misfortune in his recording career. There was the shelved material he recorded for the Library of Congress and for Sun Records. Chess had dropped him out of fear that he would threaten Muddy Waters' success. He had parted ways with the Aces just before they were recorded. But in the end, as these recordings illustrate, it's the musical 'square shooters' who create the longest-lasting impressions. Though Honeyboy attained legendary status, he resolutely affirmed before his death in 2011 that it's ultimately 'what's in the grooves' that counts.

Houston Stackhouse Worried Blues LP (Vinyl)

& lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;First Time On Vinyl LP! & lt;br & gt;
'Worried Blues' Series of Rare Recordings From Iconic Delta Blues Artists! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;/header & gt;
& lt;p & gt;'Worried Blues' is a series of 10 albums featuring rare and previously out-of-print recordings developed in collaboration with Amazon Originals. Worried Blues features rare, lost, and out-of-print recordings from 10 towering figures of 20th Century delta
blues, including & lt;strong & gt;R.L. Burnside, Reverend Gary Davis, Honeyboy Edwards, Mississippi John Hurt, Skip James, Furry Lewis, Little Brother Montgomery, Houston Stackhouse, Bukka White & lt;/strong & gt;, and & lt;strong & gt;Reverend Robert Wilkins & lt;/strong & gt;. There is
one full album devoted to each artist. & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;The bulk of Worried Blues was recorded from 1963-1972 by & lt;strong & gt;Gene Rosenthal & lt;/strong & gt;, blues scholar and founder of Adelphi Records, along with contributions from acclaimed musicologist and one of Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time,
& lt;strong & gt;John Fahey & lt;/strong & gt;. The 10 albums provide a rich and varied catalog of artists who were scattered across the Mississippi Delta, largely inactive until a new generation sought them out. & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;Rosenthal and Fahey came upon these artists through word-of-mouth tips, hopeful searches, and cosmic kismet. For & lt;strong & gt;Skip James & lt;/strong & gt;, these recordings would be the first since his initial rise during the Great Depression some 30 years prior. In
the case of & lt;strong & gt;Bukka White & lt;/strong & gt;, a nondescript letter from Fahey sent to & quot;Booker T. Washington White (Old Blues Singer) & quot; with no address, miraculously made its way into the right hands. These recordings sat untouched for over two decades before
seeing a limited CD release in the early 1990s on Adelphi. Worried Blues represents the music's first widespread release, and first time on LP. & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;These recordings have long been highly treasured, primarily for their striking variety. Despite nine out of the ten artists hailing from central and northern Mississippi, no two styles are alike. From the ragtime folk-tinged blues of & lt;strong & gt;Mississippi John Hurt & lt;/strong & gt;,
to the ebullient signature slide guitar of & lt;strong & gt;Furry Lewis & lt;/strong & gt;, which would later earn him an opening slot on tour with the Rolling Stones, Worried Blues preserves an exceptionally rich moment in our cultural history. & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;In his thoughts on the series, Grammy-winning music historian Elijah Wald explains, & lt;strong & gt; & quot;the richness of Mississippi blues derived from the combination of isolated, majority-black regions populated largely by young newcomers from other areas as the Delta swamps were drained at the turn of the 20th Century, and these players created quirky, individual styles by mixing older sounds with what they were hearing from neighbors, records, minstrel and vaudeville troupes, and whatever other influences came their way. & quot; & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;blockquote cite= & quot;quote source & quot; & gt;
All told, this compilation is an excellent cross-section of the repertoire and musicianship of a remarkable Mississippi bluesman.

In Memphis, Wilkins the bluesman was a musical terror, playing an astonishing variety of blues, ragtime, and original material that combines incisive lyrical imagery with a strong narrative line and song structures unlike anyone else's. With his rapid-fire guitar chops and astonishing versatility, he was a shoe-in for tavern jobs, and remembered acing several better-known bluesmen out of gigs... During the fifites and sixties, the earlier blues lost its savor for black audiences before it attracted the notice of many whites; Wilkins' peers tended to let their guitars get rusty, but not Wilkins. Around the time the sterling performances collected here were being recorded, he was probably at the very height of his powers.

He was a sought-after musician in his adopted city of Chicago, both on his own and as a member of Franz Jackson's excellent jazz group. Many pop and blues sessions done in post-war Chicago included Little Brother's helping hands. For many years he was in demand on the nightclub circuit and private parties - occasions that called for varied pianist's skills and a wide repertoire. Yet, as this collection shows, his heart and soul remained with the blues. A blues artist of skill and stature, his music lost none of its emotional power. In spite of, or perhaps as a result of, his long-time involvement with the music world, Little Brother's style remains remarkably his own. This record showcases that style.

Townes Van Zandt Sky Blue LP (Vinyl)
& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;Previously Unreleased Recordings On Vinyl LP! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Sky Blue, a collection of unreleased songs by one of the most celebrated songwriters of the twentieth century, is a time capsule that Townes Van Zandt created forty-six years ago, and were only now just unearthing and opening it to find the treasures inside. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; This album shows the artist working out some of his most iconic songs in an intimate, comfortable setting with one of his lifelong confidantes. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; These tracks will sound both fresh and familiar to even the most avid fans. Sky Blue includes eleven unreleased recordings made in early 1973 with the late Bill Hedgepeth, a journalist, musician, and most crucially a close friend of Townes. The singer-songwriter was splitting his time between Texas, Colorado, and a shack outside Franklin, Tennessee: an itinerant life that informed many of his most famous and beloved tunes. Throughout his life he would often return to Hedgepeths home studio in Atlanta, later with family in tow, to record, re-work, and experiment with new songs as well as old favorites. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; These versions of Pancho & amp; Lefty and Rexs Blues show these songs as early drafts: raw, sorrowful, and as stunningly moving as he ever was, full of clean flat-picking and adept flourishes in just the right places. He emerges as a master of economic songwriting and playing, providing all thats needed and nothing more, confident that his ideas and emotions would come through more clearly for being so judiciously understated. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; In addition to a handful of old favorites, Sky Blue also includes two new songs that have never been heard beforeAll I Need and Sky Blueas well as covers of songs by Richard Dobson and Tom Paxton. There is a smoky version of Blue Ridge Mountain Blues and a scarred and scarring interpretation of Hills of Roane County, an East Tennessee murder ballad from the 1880s that was popularized by Tony Rice. Van Zandt performs them deftly, sings them intuitively, and displays his delightfully twisted sense of humor on the devious Snake Song and the vicious Dream Spider. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Conceived by Townes surviving familyhis wife and literary executor Jeanene, along with his children, J.T., Will, and Katie BellSky Blue sounds like an entirely new album rather than a reissue of old recordings. Thats how urgent and invigorated these performances sound, offering a revealing glimpse into Townes process, the evolution of his songs as well as the myriad versions he had in his head. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The album is released on March 7, 2019 which would have been his 75th birthday. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Eleven unreleased recordings & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Compiled by the estate of Townes Van Zandt & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Mixed and mastered by Eric Paul & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Gatefold jacket & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side A: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Courtney Marie Andrews May Your Kindness Remain LP (Pink Vinyl)
& lt;header & gt; & lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;Limited Edition Pink Vinyl LP! & lt;br & gt; Only 500 Copies Pressed! & lt;br & gt; Part Of The Ten Bands One Cause Campaign To Support Cancer Patients & amp; Their Caretakers! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;/header & gt; & lt;p & gt;Ten Bands re-issue their albums on limited edition pink vinyl, all for one cause. This is the 6th year for the initiative that has raised over $200,000 for Gilda's Club NYC, an organization that provides community support for both those diagnosed with cancer and their caretakers. It is named after comedian Gilda Radner, who passed away from cancer at the age of 43 in 1989. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;May Your Kindness Remain is Courtney Marie Andrews' statement piece. The follow up to her critically acclaimed 2016 breakthrough album Honest Life, which made Rolling Stone's list of the & quot;Top 40 Country Albums of 2016 & quot; and was The Bluegrass Situation's Album of the Year, May Your Kindness Remain is full of vivid depictions of complex people and places with all too common struggles. Much of the album deals with the psychological and relational impact of the unrealistic picture of success that is so embedded in modern American culture. There are no simple answers in these songs. There's just an acknowledgment of shared hardships and a call for empathy. Despite its characters' burdens, May Your Kindness Remain isn't downtrodden. There's a defiance built into its melancholy, a sense that even the most complicated problems are worth facing -- a sentiment that also explains why the album's music refuses to stay within any rigid sonic boundaries. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Gospel singer C.C. White adds backing vocals throughout, including on the stunning title track, a striking statement of purpose that blooms at the end thanks to layers of soulful harmonies. Andrews' own vocals are notably more powerful and soulful -- especially on the organ-heavy blues number & quot;Border & quot;, with a ragged weariness that honors the immigrant's resilience in the face of blatant thoughtlessness and racism; and & quot;Took You Up & quot;, a take on accepting love as a simple offering before any illusion of wealth or success. Her vocal performances reflect her recent listening habits, which include Motown and soul, as well as albums by the eclectic rock band Little Feat. They also point to her confidence and growing range as a live vocalist. & lt;strong & gt; & quot;I subconsciously started incorporating more vocal stretching in my songs, just because of how fun that was, & quot; & lt;/strong & gt; she says. & lt;strong & gt; & quot;I've always been really inspired by soul singers. I can sing like that -- but I never really had before. & quot; & lt;/strong & gt; May Your Kindness Remain finds Andrews at home in her restlessness, embracing her intuition. It has stretched her vocals, her sound and her songwriting to new depths and produced a brave record -- a record that is unafraid of addressing the complexities of life in order to find common ground and understanding, no matter how divided this world may seem. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;blockquote cite= & quot;quote source & quot; & gt; Like [Linda] Ronstadt once did, Andrews now places supple, expressive vocal performances front and center in handsomely melodic compositions and folk-rock arrangements with soft country, soul and pop accents. The singing on Andrews' new album is especially emotional. There's a sob to her vibrato, and the notes she belts in her upper register are inflamed with feeling. & lt;footer & gt; -NPR & lt;/footer & gt; & lt;/blockquote & gt; & lt;blockquote cite= & quot;www.stereogum.com & quot; & gt; Andrews' voice dominates, but it doesn't overpower, and the arrangements shimmer like mirages around her. And for someone like me, someone who's been shamefully ignorant of all the music that Andrews has been making for all these years, it's a head-spinning discovery, a warm and gorgeous and fully formed piece of work. The kindness isn't just in the lyrics. It's in the way music like this can nourish you, can make your insides glow. An album like this can be a refuge. & lt;footer & gt; -Stereogum & lt;/footer & gt; & lt;/blockquote & gt; & lt;blockquote cite= & quot;www.allmusic.com & quot; & gt; The album's core instrumentation of acoustic rhythm guitar, alternately gritty and echoing electric guitars, organ, bass, and drums back nuanced vocal performances. The latter mix rugged soulfulness with a tenderness that never patronizes. & lt;footer & gt; -AllMusic & lt;/footer & gt; & lt;/blockquote & gt; & lt;a name= & quot;SS & quot; & gt; & lt;/a & gt; & lt;iframe width= & quot;560 & quot; height= & quot;315 & quot; src= & quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/zI11XRzGRKQ & quot; frameborder= & quot;0 & quot; allowfullscreen & gt; & lt;/iframe & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;a name= & quot;SS & quot; & gt; & lt;/a & gt; & lt;iframe width= & quot;560 & quot; height= & quot;315 & quot; src= & quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/f4gGv-l16AE & quot; frameborder= & quot;0 & quot; allowfullscreen & gt; & lt;/iframe & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;features & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Features & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ul & gt; & lt;li & gt;Limited Edition Pink Vinyl LP - 500 Copies & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Ten Bands One Cause campaign & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ul & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;selections & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Selections & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side A: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;May Your Kindness Remain & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Lift The Lonely From My Heart & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Two Cold Nights In Buffalo & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Rough Around The Edges & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Border & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side B: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Took You Up & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;This House & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Kindness Of Strangers & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;I've Hurt Worse & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Long Road Back To You & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;/section & gt;
Spiritualized And Nothing Hurt LP (Pink Vinyl)
& lt;a href=javascript:; & quot; onclick= & quot;document.location.hash='SS'; & quot; & gt; & lt;img src= & quot;/content/images/playbutton.gif & quot; hspace= & quot;10 & quot; align= & quot;left & quot; border= & quot;0 & quot; & gt; & lt;font color= & quot;0000FF & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;Click Here for Video Sample! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;/a & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;header & gt; & lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;Limited Edition Pink Vinyl LP! & lt;br & gt; Only 1000 Copies Pressed! & lt;br & gt; Part Of The Ten Bands One Cause Campaign To Support Cancer Patients & amp; Their Caretakers! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;/header & gt; & lt;p & gt;Ten Bands re-issue their albums on limited edition pink vinyl, all for one cause. This is the 6th year for the initiative that has raised over $200,000 for Gilda's Club NYC, an organization that provides community support for both those diagnosed with cancer and their caretakers. It is named after comedian Gilda Radner, who passed away from cancer at the age of 43 in 1989. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;The sleeve tells you so much about the process. It's a picture of a lone figure. Suited up and immersed in interplanetary protective gear, he walks out across unmapped terrain. In the distance, a mountain range towers over the roughly gridded sand he's striding. This is very much a solo mission - giant steps into the unknown. Inside the helmet, there's all the uncertainty and madness that such a pursuit brings. That sleeve (designed with Mark Farrow), comes wrapped around And Nothing Hurt - Spiritualized's eighth album, the follow up to 2012's Sweet Heart, Sweet Light. From the opening lullaby of & quot;A Perfect Miracle & quot; through to the fading Morse Code at the close of & quot;Sail On Through & quot;, it painstakingly wraps layer upon layer of gloriously transcendent sound together to create a mesmerizing and cinematic collection of songs. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;There are points - the thunderous climax of & quot;On The Sunshine & quot;; the spectral waltz of & quot;The Prize & quot;; the towering guitar solo on & quot;I'm Your Man & quot; - where the waves of blissful noise are almost overwhelming, where one can imagine the studio's speakers vibrating themselves off of the walls. Which is an incredible feat when you discover that the album was conceived and recorded almost entirely by one man - Jason Pierce, AKA J.Spaceman - in an upstairs room in his east London home. & lt;strong & gt; & quot;Making this record on my own sent me more mad than anything I've done before, & quot; & lt;/strong & gt; Pierce explains. & lt;strong & gt; & quot;We'd been playing these big shows and I really wanted to capture that sound we were making but, without the funds to do, I had to find a way to work within the constraints of what money I had. So I bought a laptop and made it all in a little room in my house. & quot; & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Whereas bedroom recording is commonplace for a generation of musicians who've grown up with horizon-expanding tech, Spiritualized have long used the studio as they would an extra member of the band - as a vital building block in the construction of some of the most cherished records of the modern era. This time would be very different. With no grounding in digital recording, Jason had to learn everything from scratch. For the listener, the nine tracks on And Nothing Hurt effortlessly replicate the scale and power of Spiritualized's previous releases, whether it's the sonic blowback of & quot;On The Sunshine & quot;, the last dime in the jukebox love letter of & quot;Let's Dance & quot; or the swell of an imaginary orchestra that seems to lift & quot;Damaged & quot; towards the heavens as it plays out. Alternately intimate, hypnotic, cyclonic and downright spiritual. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;blockquote cite= & quot;www.allmusic.com & quot; & gt; Six years in the making, And Nothing Hurt, the eighth album by Spiritualized, is instantly recognizable for its trademark meld of garage rock, pillowy psychedelia, gospel, R & amp;B, and blues via guitars, strings, horns, keyboards, and a stellar backing chorus in intimate, vulnerable, confessional songs. As a songwriter and arranger, all of Pierce's strengths are readily apparent. During the recording process, Pierce felt he was creating the final Spiritualized effort; pleased with results, that seems no longer to be the case. In full, And Nothing Hurt stands alongside the very best outings on the Spiritualized shelf. Its finest moments are consequently its most tender, revealing how much Pierce has grown as a writer. If he continues to record, this will be the album that opens a vibrant new chapter in the saga of Spiritualized. & lt;footer & gt; -AllMusic & lt;/footer & gt; & lt;/blockquote & gt; & lt;a name= & quot;SS & quot; & gt; & lt;/a & gt; & lt;iframe width= & quot;560 & quot; height= & quot;315 & quot; src= & quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/4vNrHoLS1zc & quot; frameborder= & quot;0 & quot; allowfullscreen & gt; & lt;/iframe & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;features & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Features & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ul & gt; & lt;li & gt;Limited Edition Pink Vinyl LP - 1000 Copies & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Ten Bands One Cause campaign & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Silver foil stamping on front cover & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ul & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;selections & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Selections & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;A Perfect Miracle & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;I'm Your Man & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Here It Comes (The Road) Let's Go & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Let's Dance & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;On The Sunshine & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Damaged & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;The Morning After & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;The Prize & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Sail On Through & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;/section & gt;
Townes Van Zandt The Best of Townes Van Zandt 2LP (Vinyl)
& lt;header & gt; & lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;Compilation Album On Double LP! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;/header & gt; & lt;p & gt;Townes Van Zandt'smusic doesn't jump up and down, wear fancy clothes, or beat around the bush. Whether he was singing a quiet, introspective country-folk song or a driving, hungry blues, Van Zandt's lyrics and melodies were filled with the kind of haunting truth and beauty that you knew instinctively. His music came straight from his soul by way of a kind heart, an honest mind, and a keen ear for the gentle blend of words and melody. He could bring you down to a place so sad that you felt like you were scraping bottom, but just as quickly he could lift your spirits and make you smile at the sparkle of a summer morning or a loved one's eyes -- or raise a chuckle with a quick and funny talking blues. The magic of his songs is that they never leave you alone. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Despite his warm, dusty-sweet voice, as a singer Van Zandt never had anything resembling a hit in his nearly 30-year recording career -- he had a hard enough time simply keeping his records in print. Nonetheless, he was widely respected and admired as one of the greatest country and folk artists of his generation. The long list of singers who've covered his songs includes Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson (who had a number one country hit with & quot;Pancho & amp; Lefty & quot; in 1983), Emmylou Harris, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Nanci Griffith, Hoyt Axton, Bobby Bare, the Tindersticks, and the Cowboy Junkies. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Mickey Newbury, saw Van Zandt in Houston one night and soon had him set up with a recording gig in Nashville (with Jack Clement producing). The sessions became Van Zandt's debut album, For the Sake of the Song, released in 1968 by Poppy Records. The next five years were the most prolific of Van Zandt's career, as Poppy released the albums Our Mother the Mountain, Townes Van Zandt, Delta Momma Blues, High, Low and in Between, and The Late Great Townes Van Zandt. These included such gems as & quot;For The Sake Of The Song & quot;, & quot;To Live Is To Fly & quot;, & quot;Tecumseh Valley & quot;, & quot;Pancho & amp; Lefty & quot; and many more that have made him a legend in American and European songwriting circles. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Van Zandt moved to Nashville in 1976 at the urging of his new manager, John Lomax III. He signed a new deal with Tomato Records and in 1977 released Live at the Old Quarter, a double album -- and the first of several live recordings -- that contained many of his finest songs. In 1978 Tomato released Flyin' Shoes; the long list of players on that album included Chips Moman and Spooner Oldham. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Van Zandt didn't record again for nearly a decade, but he continued to tour. He moved back to Texas briefly, returning again to Nashville in the mid-'80s. During the early '80s, both & quot;If I Needed You & quot; and & quot;Pancho & amp; Lefty & quot; became country radio hits. In 1987, Van Zandt was back in business with his eighth studio album, At My Window, which came out on his new label, Sugar Hill. By this time, Van Zandt's voice had dropped to a lower register, but the weathered, somewhat road-weary edge to it was as pure and expressive as ever. Two years later, Sugar Hill released Live & amp; Obscure (recorded in a Nashville club in 1985), and two more live albums (Rain on a Conga Drum and Rear View Mirror) appeared on European labels in the early '90s. In 1990, Van Zandt toured with the Cowboy Junkies, and he wrote a song for them, & quot;Cowboy Junkies Lament & quot;, which appeared on the group's Black Eyed Man album (along with a song the Junkies wrote for him, & quot;Townes Blues & quot;). & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Sugar Hill released Roadsongs in 1994, on which Van Zandt-covered songs by Lightnin' Hopkins, Bruce Springsteen, the Rolling Stones, and others, all recorded off the soundboard during recent concerts. At the end of that same year, Sugar Hill released No Deeper Blue, Van Zandt's first studio album since 1987. Van Zandt recorded it in Ireland with a group of Irish musicians. Van Zandt sang every song but only played guitar on one. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;A year and a half after the release of No Deeper Blue, Van Zandt died unexpectedly on January 1, 1997; he was 52 years old. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;features & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Features & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ul & gt; & lt;li & gt;Double LP & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;140g Vinyl & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Gatefold jacket & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ul & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;selections & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Selections & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side A: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;For The Sake Of The Song & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Pancho & amp; Lefty & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;To Live Is To Fly & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Fare Thee Well, Miss Carousel & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side B: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;I'll Be Here In The Morning & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;St. John The Gambler & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;If I Needed You & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Black Widow Blues & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side C: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Tecumseh Valley & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Flyin' Shoes & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Waiting Around To Die & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Lungs & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side D: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;You Are Not Needed Now & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Tower Song & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Nothin' & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Rex's Blues & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;/section & gt;

& lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;8th Studio Album On Orange Vinyl LP!
& lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;/header & gt;
& lt;p & gt;For the listener, the nine tracks on And Nothing Hurt effortlessly replicate the scale and power of Spiritualized's previous releases, whether it's the sonic blowback of & quot;On the Sunshine, & quot; the last dime in the jukebox love letter of & quot;Let's Dance & quot; or the
swell of an imaginary orchestra that seems to lift & quot;Damaged & quot; towards the heavens as it plays out.
& lt;/p & gt;
& lt;blockquote cite= & quot;www.allmusic.com & quot; & gt;
In full, And Nothing Hurt stands alongside the very best outings on the Spiritualized shelf. Its finest moments are consequently its most tender, revealing how much Pierce has grown as a writer. If he continues to record, this will be the album that opens
a vibrant new chapter in the saga of Spiritualized.

Spiritualized Pure Phase 180g 2LP (Vinyl)
& lt;header & gt;
& lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;2nd Spiritualized Album On 180g Double LP!
& lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;/header & gt;
& lt;p & gt;Pure Phase is the second album by Spiritualized, released on 28 March 1995. The album was recorded in the Moles Studio in Bath, England and features contributions from The Balanescu Quartet.
& lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;At the time of release, Pierce had renamed the band as & quot;Spiritualized Electric Mainline, & quot; the name that appears on the album cover, before reverting to the Spiritualized name shortly afterwards. & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;blockquote cite= & quot;quote source & quot; & gt;
The tunefulness is still intact on the new Pure Phase, particularly on such pop snacks as 'Let It Flow' and 'Lay Back in the Sun,' but this is a far denser, more involving work. Pierce's inspirations have been immersed in a lush stream of sound, head
music that alternately caresses and bombards the senses, enhanced by separate mixes in each stereo channel.
& lt;br & gt;
& lt;br & gt; In this soundtrack for an imaginary movie, the motion is cyclical rather than linear, the music floating in space. Pierce's melodies don't dance so much as shimmer, with drums and percussion barely audible. Wan Farfisa organ chords dissolve into oscillating
sci-fi swirls, a blues harmonica wails in a void, a warehouse of clocks chimes and whirs, an avalanche of guitars overtakes a disembodied gospel choir, a string quartet plucks and swoons, a shortwave radio spews white noise, horns bleat in melancholy
distress. It's more like a loop unraveling than a series of songs.

& lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;Consequence Top 50 Albums Of 2021 - Rated 42/50! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;The brand new album from Tamara Lindeman's project The Weather Station, produced by Marcus Paquin (Arcade Fire producer). Singles from the album have been widely lauded from Pitchfork [Best New Track], NPR, Stereogum, The FADER, Guardian, NY Times and
countless others. & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;According to the artist: & quot;People write songs about love for a person, but I never heard a pop song about love for a bird. When I was touring a lot I got really into birds, because you can see them anywhere you happen to look; over a highway in Berlin,
in the harbor in Gothernburg, pecking down the road in Perth. If you look at a bird long enough you can get pulled into its worldview; into how it sees the rooftops or dumpsters or trees along the road or parking lot. Seeing birds connects me to a deep
softness inside of myself. Also, I love them. & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;Musically, I wanted to see if it was possible to make a song that was disco but also very organic and soft at the same time. Disco is music that always seems so invulnerable, and so I wanted to marry this very vulnerable song to that influence and see
what happens. & quot; & lt;/p & gt;

Tamara Lindeman's songwriting has reached stunning new heights. With a full band supporting her, her new album draws upon the natural world to create unforgettable moments of calm and beauty.... The silvery highs of Lindeman's voice still resemble Joni
Mitchell, as do the cleverly captured details of Ignorance's lyrics....Musically and emotionally, there's so much going on that it's sometimes hard to keep up, but Ignorance is a major statement that never feels oversimplified. While she's growing so
much with each album that it seems risky to call this Lindeman's best, it's safe to say this is another outstanding achievement from the Weather Station.

...[Lindeman's] new album, Ignorance, solidifies the 36-year-old as one of the most audaciously inventive auteurs working in the broad singer-songwriter tradition. This 10-song collection broadens the Weather Station's sonic palette by foregrounding fluttering
flutes, crisp orchestral sections, and, most importantly, a propulsive rhythm section ('wanting to dance and to sing in the rhythm of,' as Lindeman sings at one point). Alternating between glassy piano dance grooves and somber noir-folk explorations,
the result is an album that sounds like a millennial Joni Mitchell fronting jazzy versions of LCD Soundsystem or the National, depending on the song.

The Weather Station All Of It Was Mine 45rpm LP (Bone Vinyl)
& lt;header & gt;
& lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;10th Anniversary Limited Edition 45rpm Bone Colored Vinyl LP! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;/header & gt;
& lt;p & gt;The Weather Station's 2nd LP from 2011, now available from Fat Possum Records. 10th anniversary edition with limited Bone color vinyl and new, updated liner notes written by Tamara Lindeman. Incisive and insightful folk music by Tamara Lindeman. A beautifully
sung depiction of the growing things, and the crawling things, and the loving and hurting things that move around, bewildered and dazzled.
& lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;This album was recorded stereophonically. The vocals were reproduced through a Royer 122 microphone; rhythm, Royer 121; violin, Apex 210; and guitars, Royer 121, Sennheiser 421. The session was recorded in December 2010. & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;blockquote cite= & quot;www.allmusic.com & quot; & gt;
The live feeling of All of It Was Mine's recording spotlights the nuances of Lindeman's playing and especially her singing. Her voice takes on a cozy glow on 'Running Around Asking' and a silvery, Joni Mitchell-like cast on 'Traveller.' However, anytime
Lindeman seems too indebted to tradition, she turns it on its head.

& lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;Follow-Up To The Band's Acclaimed 2019 Album, Active Listening: Night On Earth! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;/header & gt;
& lt;p & gt;On Visitor, Empath sought to one-up the range of sounds heard on their previous album. During what he calls West Philly Christmas (the week undergrads at UPenn move out and leave piles of high-quality garbage out on the street) Randall Coon recovered
a suitcase organ with a sound bank from a Jamiroquai record preset on it, which he later played on the album, in addition to running samples on Ableton and acquiring a brand new synth; Jem Shanahan, who plays a '90s children's keyboard, had Portrait
filter it in such a way that it sounded & quot;less childlike & quot;; Catherine Elicson's vocals, buried deep in the mix on Active Listening: Night on Earth, take center stage; and Garrett Koloski's drums are as capacious as they might be in a live set. & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt; & quot; & lt;strong & gt;Our approach to songwriting, and what we constantly try to improve upon, is finding the meeting ground between all of our distinct points of view and ideas we are trying to achieve sonically and conceptually, & lt;/strong & gt; & quot; Elicson says. & quot; & lt;strong & gt;We never want to be tied down to one type of song or sound, and we love all kinds of improvisational music. We try to fit everything we love into each song, and hopefully produce something new and exciting through that process of synthesis. & lt;/strong & gt; & quot; & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;Visitor attempts to fill space, both physical and psychic, visible and invisible. The album's cover was photographed by Andrew Emond, who captures the interiors of abandoned buildings. & quot; & lt;strong & gt;The spaces look lived in and altered by humans but no humans are present, & lt;/strong & gt; & quot;
Elicson reflects. & quot; & lt;strong & gt;The songs are similar in the sense that they talk about the 'space' between people. They're not about specific people per se, but they illustrate the feelings people leave between each other, these subjective experiences. You can think of Visitor as a soundtrack to the memories and feelings that remain in places people have left behind. & lt;/strong & gt; & quot; & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;Empath included a series of samples on Visitor, all of which cohere to make the album sound as if it's disrupting ambient noise. & quot; & lt;strong & gt;Audio was taken from films, Minecraft, a cassette of nature sounds from the Bayou, recordings of an air conditioner, and a church choir heard through the walls of the warehouse we rehearse in, & lt;/strong & gt; & quot;
Elicson says. & quot; & lt;strong & gt;It's a collage of sounds intended to produce a feeling of hearing life through the walls. & lt;/strong & gt; & quot; Visitor attempts to bridge the space between. It's an impossible task, surely, but the result of their efforts produces a transcendent
experience all its own. & lt;/p & gt;

Skip James Worried Blues LP (Vinyl)
& lt;header & gt;
& lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;First Time On Vinyl LP! & lt;br & gt;
'Worried Blues' Series of Rare Recordings From Iconic Delta Blues Artists! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;/header & gt;
& lt;p & gt;'Worried Blues' is a series of 10 albums featuring rare and previously out-of-print recordings developed in collaboration with Amazon Originals. Worried Blues features rare, lost, and out-of-print recordings from 10 towering figures of 20th Century delta
blues, including & lt;strong & gt;R.L. Burnside, Reverend Gary Davis, Honeyboy Edwards, Mississippi John Hurt, Skip James, Furry Lewis, Little Brother Montgomery, Houston Stackhouse, Bukka White & lt;/strong & gt;, and & lt;strong & gt;Reverend Robert Wilkins & lt;/strong & gt;. There is
one full album devoted to each artist. & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;The bulk of Worried Blues was recorded from 1963-1972 by & lt;strong & gt;Gene Rosenthal & lt;/strong & gt;, blues scholar and founder of Adelphi Records, along with contributions from acclaimed musicologist and one of Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time,
& lt;strong & gt;John Fahey & lt;/strong & gt;. The 10 albums provide a rich and varied catalog of artists who were scattered across the Mississippi Delta, largely inactive until a new generation sought them out. & lt;/p & gt;

The survival of Skip James' music in the 1960's was all the more remarkable for his having abandoned it after the commercial failure of his records due to the Great Depression in 1931. Skip had correctly felt that they were a major accomplishment, but when he discovered that they were not to have an effect on his livelihood, he turned to other work in order to survive, allowing music to remain dormant in his life for more than thirty years.

& lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;First Time On Vinyl LP! & lt;br & gt;
'Worried Blues' Series of Rare Recordings From Iconic Delta Blues Artists! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;/header & gt;
& lt;p & gt;'Worried Blues' is a series of 10 albums featuring rare and previously out-of-print recordings developed in collaboration with Amazon Originals. Worried Blues features rare, lost, and out-of-print recordings from 10 towering figures of 20th Century delta
blues, including & lt;strong & gt;R.L. Burnside, Reverend Gary Davis, Honeyboy Edwards, Mississippi John Hurt, Skip James, Furry Lewis, Little Brother Montgomery, Houston Stackhouse, Bukka White & lt;/strong & gt;, and & lt;strong & gt;Reverend Robert Wilkins & lt;/strong & gt;. There is
one full album devoted to each artist. & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;The bulk of Worried Blues was recorded from 1963-1972 by & lt;strong & gt;Gene Rosenthal & lt;/strong & gt;, blues scholar and founder of Adelphi Records, along with contributions from acclaimed musicologist and one of Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time,
& lt;strong & gt;John Fahey & lt;/strong & gt;. The 10 albums provide a rich and varied catalog of artists who were scattered across the Mississippi Delta, largely inactive until a new generation sought them out. & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;Rosenthal and Fahey came upon these artists through word-of-mouth tips, hopeful searches, and cosmic kismet. For & lt;strong & gt;Skip James & lt;/strong & gt;, these recordings would be the first since his initial rise during the Great Depression some 30 years prior. In

Of all the bluesmen, Mississippi John Hurt was perhaps the most beloved. He seems to have enriched every life he touched. Lightnin' was cool, Skippy was brilliant, Brownie was poetic; but John was a saint.

& lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;Spiritualized's Ninth Studio Album On Vinyl LP! & lt;br & gt;
Follows 30 Years After Debut LP Lazer Guided Melodies! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;/header & gt;
& lt;p & gt;The ninth studio album from Spiritualized comes 30 years after the 1992 debut album Lazer Guided Melodies, and is the follow up to 2018's And Nothing Hurt. & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;During lockdown of 2020, J Spaceman (aka Jason Pierce) would walk through an empty & quot;Roman London & quot; where the world was & quot;full of birdsong and strangeness, & quot; trying to make sense of all the music playing in his head at the time. The mixers and mixes of his
new record weren't working out yet. Spaceman plays 16 different instruments on Everything Was Beautiful which was put down at 11 different studios, as well as at his home. & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;He also employed more than 30 musicians and singers including his daughter Poppy, long-time collaborator and friend John Coxon, string and brass sections, choirs and finger bells and chimes from the Whitechapel Bell Foundry. Eventually the mixes got there
and Everything Was Beautiful was achieved. & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;The result is some of the most & quot;live & quot; sounding recordings that Spiritualized have released since the Live At The Albert Hall record of 1998, around the time of Ladies And Gentlemen, We Are Floating In Space. & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;All these layers, all these details, the year-long mixes, the making sense of it all and the lives lived within these lyrics; for somebody so famously unconfident of his own abilities, isn't this a punishing thing to keep doing? & quot;Yeah, but I like what I do, & quot; explains Spaceman. & quot;There's a line from Jonathan Meades that's about having all the attributes to being an artist. 'Paranoia, vanity, selfishness, egotism, sycophancy, resentment, moral nullity and more idiot than idiot savant.' And that's what it feels like, this kind of thing. You're your own worst enemy and biggest supporter. There's a 'Of course this is worth it. It's me' and then this kind of deep doubt of 'What the fuck is this all about?' And then 'Why is it important?' and then knowing there's no easy answer. But it's there. I know it's there. & quot; & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;The opening track & quot;Always Together With You & quot; is a reworking / supercharging of a track originally demoed in 2014. This new version is a perfect Spiritualized song; a breathtaking, hard edged, psychedelic pop tune where themes of high romance and space
travel are paired with characters who & quot;thought your life came in a bag of white sniffed through a silver tube. & quot; In one of the most sublime refrains of the band's career, the backing singers call out & quot;if you gotta lonely heart too. & quot; & lt;/p & gt;

Spiritualized Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space Special Edition 180g 2LP (Vinyl)
& lt;header & gt;
& lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;Special Edition 180g Vinyl Double LP! & lt;br & gt;
Voted One Of The Best Albums Of The '90s!
& lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;/header & gt;
& lt;p & gt;Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space is the third studio album by English space rock band Spiritualized, originally released on June 16, 1997. The album features guest appearances from the Balanescu Quartet, The London Community Gospel Choir
and Dr. John. & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space has since been acclaimed as one of the best albums of the 1990s on various publications' decade-end lists. Pitchfork ranked it at number 55 on their list of the top 100 albums of the 1990s; in 2010, the album
was named one of the 125 Best Albums of the Past 25 Years by Spin; the album was included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die; and in 2013, NME ranked it at number 153 in its list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;The artwork for this special edition features a photograph taken in 1997 of the prototype 'pill tray' from the original pharmaceutical-style CD packaging. The gatefold images show the packaging in manufacture, and the inner sleeves feature a reproduction of the 'patient product information' leaflet that was included with the album. & lt;/p & gt;

Spiritualized Let It Come Down 180g 2LP (Vinyl)
& lt;header & gt;
& lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;180g Vinyl Double LP! & lt;br & gt;
Lacquer Cut From Original Sources By Alchemy Mastering! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;/header & gt;
& lt;p & gt;The Spaceman Reissue Program edition of Let It Come Down promises to give those recordings the fullest spectrum audio and physical treatment they've deserved since the original release. It is the fourth in this series of 180g double albums with the
lacquer cut from original sources by Alchemy Mastering, presented in a gatefold jacket adorned with reworked art by Mark Farrow. & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;The artwork for this special edition features photographs of the original vaccum-formed CD packaging, featuring a bias relief sculpture created for the album by the artist Don Brown. The cover shows an early packaging test form, while unfinished production sheets are shown on the inner sleeves. Also included are stills of J.Spaceman taken from the & quot;Do It All Over again & quot; music video. & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;blockquote cite= & quot;www.allmusic.com & quot; & gt;
Jason Pierce has never shied away from changes in pursuit of his artistic goals. He traded Spacemen 3's white-hot intensity for the gentler ebb and flow of Spiritualized, and took things a step further by firing the rest of the band after their greatest success, Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space. Let It Come Down is another step in Pierce's difficult, single-minded creative path. To craft the album's epic sound, Pierce sang the melodies into a Dictaphone, translated them to piano, and then transposed them into orchestral arrangements. This painstaking process results in an album that is equal parts intimate confessions and ambitious soundscapes, yet, despite the lineup changes and its lengthy inception, Let It Come Down doesn't sound radically different from Spiritualized's previous albums, proving for once and all that Pierce is Spiritualized and Spiritualized is Pierce.

It is his first album recorded without longtime producer Willie Mitchell, owner of Green's former label, Hi Records. With Mitchell and his label, Green also abandoned the famed Hi Rhythm Section, which had previously played a large part in defining Green's distinctive musical style. This also marks the first instance in which Green plays lead guitar on his records. The Belle Album is one of the last in a string of secular recordings made by Green; he had recently converted to Christianity and had been ordained as a pastor, and thereafter he began creating gospel records exclusively. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;...this was the last secular work he would make for many years, and it was brilliant... & quot; & lt;/b & gt; -Ron Wynn, allmusic.com & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Limited Edition & lt;br & gt; Pink Vinyl in support of Breast Cancer Awareness & lt;br & gt; Includes limited time download & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

'Worried Blues' Series of Rare Recordings From Iconic Delta Blues Artists! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;/header & gt;
& lt;p & gt;'Worried Blues' is a series of 10 albums featuring rare and previously out-of-print recordings developed in collaboration with Amazon Originals. Worried Blues features rare, lost, and out-of-print recordings from 10 towering figures of 20th Century delta

one full album devoted to each artist. & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;The bulk of Worried Blues was recorded from 1963-1972 by & lt;strong & gt;Gene Rosenthal & lt;/strong & gt;, blues scholar and founder of Adelphi Records, along with contributions from acclaimed musicologist and one of Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time,
& lt;strong & gt;John Fahey & lt;/strong & gt;. The 10 albums provide a rich and varied catalog of artists who were scattered across the Mississippi Delta, largely inactive until a new generation sought them out. & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;Rosenthal and Fahey came upon these artists through word-of-mouth tips, hopeful searches, and cosmic kismet. For & lt;strong & gt;Skip James & lt;/strong & gt;, these recordings would be the first since his initial rise during the Great Depression some 30 years prior. In
the case of & lt;strong & gt;Bukka White & lt;/strong & gt;, a nondescript letter from Fahey sent to & quot;Booker T. Washington White (Old Blues Singer) & quot; with no address, miraculously made its way into the right hands. These recordings sat untouched for over two decades before
seeing a limited CD release in the early 1990s on Adelphi. Worried Blues represents the music's first widespread release, and first time on LP. & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;These recordings have long been highly treasured, primarily for their striking variety. Despite nine out of the ten artists hailing from central and northern Mississippi, no two styles are alike. From the ragtime folk-tinged blues of & lt;strong & gt;Mississippi John Hurt & lt;/strong & gt;,
to the ebullient signature slide guitar of & lt;strong & gt;Furry Lewis & lt;/strong & gt;, which would later earn him an opening slot on tour with the Rolling Stones, Worried Blues preserves an exceptionally rich moment in our cultural history. & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;In his thoughts on the series, Grammy-winning music historian Elijah Wald explains, & lt;strong & gt; & quot;the richness of Mississippi blues derived from the combination of isolated, majority-black regions populated largely by young newcomers from other areas as the Delta swamps were drained at the turn of the 20th Century, and these players created quirky, individual styles by mixing older sounds with what they were hearing from neighbors, records, minstrel and vaudeville troupes, and whatever other influences came their way. & quot; & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;blockquote cite= & quot;quote source & quot; & gt;
These sessions fill out the sketchy part of R.L. Burnside as a blues artist in the early phases of his development, finding his own voice in a blend of influences tempered by his unique experiences and talent. At the time of these recordings he could only have dreamed that the music he had always loved would eventually become his life and professional world.
