Ernestine Anderson WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN Anderson(vocals), Brown(bass), Harris(piano), Holloway(Tenor sax), King(drums) Concord Jazz 1985 Notes: "What we have here is proof--for proof was never needed--but a soulful reminder that among her many gifts, Ernestine Anderson has more that a mere penchant for the blues. She has a deep-down, abiding love for it--which is precisely the feeling I have about this album."

Black Ace I AM THE BOSS CARD IN YOUR HAND Arhoolie 1961 / 1992 Notes: "Black Ace (B.K. Turner) was a great Texas Blues Singer and one of the few exponents of the flat Hawaiian guitar blues style to have been recorded. This CD contains almost his entire recorded legacy."

Bobby Bland TURN ON YOUR LOVE LIGHT: THE DUKE RECORDINGS VOL 2 Duke / MCA 1994 Notes: Welcome to the golden age of the ageless Bobby "Blue" Bland. Long an icon in blues and proto-soul circles, the man really hit his stride in the early 1960's when, as a thirty-something veteran of the Memphis scene, he forged a new frontier for the full-throated, mostly mid-tempo stylings. To this day, it's a sound that sets the standard for emotive vocal music. In a field dominated by pimply teens and rubber-legged showoffs, the mature confidence exuded by Bobby is refreshing in itself." LOL. Let the culture war begin.
