Blues for Aficionados

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."

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.

Absolutely wonderful.

Nice.   Speaking of Harmonica, you can't have too much harmonica in the Blues.
