I’m deep into the first night of the IH Mississippi Valley Blues Festival. The weather, while warm and humid, is actually pretty pleasant. I just watched a strong set from the Kilborn Alley Blues Band. From Champaign, IL, they focus heavily on gritty Chicago blues. A good set, all the way around.

EDDIE “CLEANHEAD” VINSON: Kidney Stew is Fine (1969) Delmark Records
Posted on July 3, 2008
Filed Under News | Leave a Comment
Eddie Vinson was a blues shouter extraordinaire in the style of Big Joe Turner and Wynonie Harris. Always an outstanding alto saxophonist, Vinson played jazz and blues with equal vigor. The improvisational skills learned from his years as a jazz musician combined with his traditional vocal style helped him achieve the status of an American original. The occasion here finds Vinson teamed up with veteran jazz-blues musicians Jay McShann, Hall Singer and T-Bone Walker.
Although its programming has been juggled a bit, and the CD has been given liner notes, this Delmark release is a straight reissue of the original LP. Clocking in at around 38 minutes, the relatively brief set is the only recording that exists of Vinson, pianist Jay McShann, and guitarist T-Bone Walker playing together; the sextet is rounded out by the fine tenor Hal Singer, bassist Jackie Sampson, and drummer Paul Gunther. Vinson, whether singing “Plese Send Me Somebody to Love,” “Just a Dream,” and “Juice Head Baby” or taking boppish alto solos, is the main star throughout this album (originally on Black & Blue), a date that helped launch Vinson’s commercial comeback.
Tracks:
1. Somebody Sure Has Got To Go
2. Old Kidney Stew Is Fine
3. Juice Head Baby
4. Wait A Minute Baby
5. I’m In An Awful Mood
6. Just A Dream
7. Things Ain’t What They Used To Be
8. Old Maid Boogie
9. Wee Baby Blues
10. Please Send Me Someone To Love

JIMMY KING: Live At Monterey (2002) Bullseye Blues
Posted on July 3, 2008
Filed Under News | Leave a Comment
Recorded live at: The Monterey Bay Blues Festival, Patee Arena, Monterey, California on June 27, 1999 and at Ardent Recording Studios, Memphis, Tennessee 1994. Includes liner notes by Bob Porter.
Personnel: Jimmy King (vocals, guitar); Michael Taylor (guitar); Archie Turner (organ); Victor Butler, Melvin Lee (bass); Roy Cunningham (drums).
Jimmy King was born Manuel Gales 34 years ago in Memphis. He changed his name as a tribute to guitarists Jimi Hendrix and Albert King. Albert King dubbed him his musical Godson and ‘Little’ Jimmy played in Albert’s traveling revue before the latter’s death in 1992. Jimmy King has all of Albert’s fat, fiery tone and his incendiary live performances are already legendary. This disc captures one such show from beginning to end, in real time, while adding four studio tracks, complete with the Memphis Horns, as a bonus.
Although he’s too young to have lived through it, King’s playing conjures up the sounds of Memphis in its greasy heyday, when Stax and Hi records reigned supreme and Beale Street stood in decay. He offers funky covers of legendary Hi producer Willie Mitchell’s ‘Living In The Danger Zone’ and ‘It Ain’t The Same No Mo’, as well as a number of tunes associated with his honorary Godfather Albert King on what is one of the best live blues recordings in some time.
- Al Kirkcaldy August 2002 Southwest Blues
Tracks:
1. Introduction: The Ghetto
2. Somebody
3. Don’t Burn Down the Bridges
4. Living in the Danger Zone
5. Drowning on Dry Land
6. Standing in the Rain
7. It Ain’t the Same No Mo
8. I Wonder Why
9. Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven
10. Wrapped up in Love Again
11. Floodin’ in California

Stevie Ray Vaughn And Johny Copeland: Tin Pan Alley

Another great example of why Stevie was so great. Here he plays with the great Johnny Copeland. Watch how Stevie shares the stage. This is no competition. Stevie shows the respect he has for Johnny by not getting into a competition to see who was the best. Unlike some white artists who seemed more interested in smoking their heroes on stage. ( I won’t say who, but if you have seen a few of
