King has had an unbelievable career.  He’s the undisputed Ambassador of the Blues to the world, he’s undoubtedly the biggest blues star the world has ever seen, and he’s put out... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~452030074500 Thu, 20 Nov 2008 19:41:41 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_452030074500?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_443234684548?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author tanta08 - When he passed away from cancer at only 52 years of age, Chicago blues guitarist Hip Linkchain (undoubtedly one of the coolest blues monikers of all time) had not yet cemented his reputation as one of the city's finest blues performers.

Waters himself went back to the live recording well dozens more times over the course of his career, but this... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~443234422404 Sun, 31 Aug 2008 18:24:10 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_443234422404?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_443233898116?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author tanta08 - Considering Magic Slim (aka Morris Holt) and his band, the Teardrops, has been releasing live albums for over thirty years now, it's a mystery as to why Anything Can Happen isn't more of an overwhelming success. Oh, it's a fine listen, alright,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~443233898116 Sun, 31 Aug 2008 18:17:52 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_443233898116?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_443045088900?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tanta08 - Note: This is a review of the 2007 CD reissue of this album.Jimmy Reed Plays 12 String Guitar Blues is a somewhat bizarre entry into the Jimmy Reed catalog. Okay, the term "somewhat" is entirely too forgiving. This album is an... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~443045088900 Sat, 30 Aug 2008 04:03:35 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_443045088900?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_443044236932?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tanta08 - Buddy Guy has been turning electric blues guitar on its ear for about 50 years now. From his early singles with Chess Records that were bristling with energy and charisma, to his work with harmonica master Junior Wells, to his career resurgence in the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~443044236932 Sat, 30 Aug 2008 03:22:26 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_443044236932?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_442645909124?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tanta08 - Luther "Guitar Junior" Johnson is probably not a well-known name outside of the blues genre. Johnson served in Muddy Waters' backing band in the 1970s before striking out on his own. He has spent the last few decades honing a distinctive form of West... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~442645909124 Tue, 26 Aug 2008 22:15:18 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_442645909124?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_442568445572?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tanta08 - In many ways, Gettin' Up: Live at Buddy's Guy's Legends, Rosa's and Lurrie's Home (definitely the longest album title around) is a very bittersweet album. Legendary harp player Carey Bell had suffered a stroke prior to making the album, and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~442568445572 Tue, 26 Aug 2008 09:34:14 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_442568445572?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_441387028100?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tanta08 - It&#146s always been somewhat of a mystery why Robert Lee McCollum, aka Robert Lee McCoy, aka Robert Nighthawk, has never been elevated to the lofty status of some of his blues contemporaries like Muddy Waters and Elmore James. His electric slide guitar... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~441387028100 Sat, 16 Aug 2008 16:02:31 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_441387028100?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_440426466948?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tanta08 - At 72, Chicago blues master Buddy Guy no longer has to prove anything to anyone. Even if he never played another note after recording his Chess and Vanguard material in the 50s and 60s, his place in blues history would still be guaranteed. Instead,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~440426466948 Fri, 8 Aug 2008 16:30:32 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_440426466948?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_440271801988?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tanta08 - Note: This is a review of the 2007 CD reissue of this album. Lightnin’ Hopkins has such a vast discography that it’s sometimes hard to separate the wheat from the chaffe. Recording for literally dozens of labels over a long career, Hopkins... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~440271801988 Thu, 7 Aug 2008 12:58:40 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_440271801988?linkin_id=8003929
