The Good Stuff



There are simply two kinds of music, good music and the other kind ... the only yardstick by which the result should be judged is simply that of how it sounds. If it sounds good it's successful; if it doesn't it has failed. --  Duke Ellington

This purpose of this thread is to provide a place to post outstanding examples of the Good Music.

Willie Dixon

I AM THE BLUES

Columbia / Legacy   1993

Notes : "Now for the first time we hear Willie and his hand-picked crew of Chicago Blues veterans in a program of his compositions exactly as he wanted them interpreted -- strong, direct, ungimmicked.  It's been worth the wait."
