    The Cool Sounds of Albert Collins

    P Hill, I saw Albert Collins play a few times, at least once at the San Francisco Blues Festival. He truly was a great one.

    Thanks for the reminder Icecrmcnkd

    It's been a while since I reached for a '77 show, and I went with 6/9 about 15 minutes ago. Well, it was a fine Mississippi Half-Step, but now that I see your post, clearly 12/29 is the best choice for today. I did this one about a month ago. Nice to hear the Wolf in '77. Looking forward to the Playing / Cat / Rider.

    Blues Brothers...and Danny Gatton

    Casey.....Nappyrags recently recommended 3 live B.B. King albums on here, "Live at the Regal" and "Blues is King" from the mid 60s and "Live in Japan" from 1971 and I would agree that all are great for different reasons. Playing wise, my favourite is "Blues is King" but my cd-a 1987 released version on MCA sounds dire. I've noticed there is a Japanese SHM release out there, and I am tempted by that-although it is expensive.

    For B.B,s studio sides, I far and away prefer his 1950s singles to anything else. I've got two very similar collections which feature this material - "The RPM Hits 1951-1957" on Ace Records and "Sings The Blues", another Ace reissue . Either of these are good...but you don't need both, really. Few extra tracks on the first.

    My last blues albums was Magic Sam "Live at the Avante Garde June 1968" which is tremendous. He was in the same ball park as Buddy Guy. THAT good.

    I have never heard the Danny Gatton album mentioned below. But I have got a few cds by him, and got one earlier this year called "The Humbler" credited to singer Robert Gordon. Without a word of a lie, this features the most incendiary rockabilly guitar I have ever heard in my life. Its all standards...but you wouldn't believe how well and dynamically they could be played if you haven't heard this album. Jaw dropping-really.

    Actually, another blues album I bought recently is playing as I write-"Blues" - a 3 cd compilation of Rory Gallagher. It was cheap as chips, and features a side of studio, a side of acoustic and a side of live tracks that are currently blowing my kitchen apart. Blues albums have never been far away from my record/cassette/cd player over the years.

    Dig the blues discussion, thought I would mention Buddy Guy since nobody has so far. Lot's of great Buddy Guy stuff, especially his stuff with Junior Wells. Junior's albums Hoodoo Man Blues and It's My Life both feature Buddy and both albums are fantastic. As far as the King's, I prefer Albert, something about his stuff just clicked from the first time I heard part of his Thursday Night in San Francisco album on Dan Ackroyd's House of Blues radio show while driving to meet an acquaintance a long time ago.

    Three Kings

    Picked up Born Under a Bad Sign (Albert King) in April on RSD and then The Mojo (Freddy King) on the most recent RSD in November. You can certainly hear both influences in modern blues guitar. Clapton’s sound is very muck akin to Albert King, and you can hear a lot of SRV influences in Freddy’s playing. Both are phenomenal repressings of classic albums. I would be interested in hearing album suggestions for the third King, BB, if any of you have any? I know there’s a ton of stuff out there...

    Think I’ll put Freddy on now with the morning coffee.

    Been catching up on the 30 days of dead recording from this year. Especially enjoying the 31 days of Dead for December. A fitting tribute to RH!!! My favorite track so far has to be the one of RH doing an acoustic version of St. Stephen and then also China Cat. Almost more of poetry readings than tune performances, but beautiful alternative takes on two Hunter songs that we all know and love.

    Peace all!

    KCJ

    Edit: Vocally, Clapton and Freddy King sound a lot alike!

    Edit 2: oh and for you Jazz aficionados out there while on the subject of guitar masters, check out Kenny Burrell with Stanley Turrentine/Major Holly Jr./Bill English/Ray Barretto, Midnight Blue....recently repressed with Blue Note....WOW!!!

    Ledded - you probably already have, but if you like Clapton, it is well worth checking out the three Kings-especially Albert and Freddie. As Eric Clapton was to those that followed, so were those two to Clapton. Especially the "Born Under a Bad Sign" album by Albert and everything by Freddie.

Hi All,

As of yesterday a replacement copy of Dave's Picks Volume 32 arrived and was in mint condition. It took 3 months and a few contacts to customer support and Marye, but I've finally got it and that may mean there is some hope for others that may be waiting on an initial or replacement copy of this installment.

One thing to mention. It is a numbered copy and a low one at that -- #544. Seems kind of odd that this Volume 32 sold out and I'm getting one that is numbered. This is not a complaint, but just saying...

A BIG THANKS to Marye for her help on my issue because I am sure it was her inquires to The Doc that made this eventually happen.

Good luck to all that are still waiting for a Volume 32. Hopefully, Help Is On The Way!
