This, here, is some good shout!.......2005-02-17

No "leavening sense of swing"? The only thing "preening" around these parts is Frank John Hadley's prose. But don't you keep your head where his is at. Instead take a listen to this crucial moment when the blues morph into somethin' rockin' in the hands of a guy just sittin' around strummin' his guitar with its amp cranked way past what its manufacturer intended while his buddy slaps his drums with a shufflin' beat that defies your toes to start tappin' and done caused one skinny white boy to start his pelvis to twitchin' so that none of us were ever the same again.

Listen, first, to "Shout, Sister, Shout." (Or maybe that should have been "Swing, Sister, Swing.") And think about how accelerated cultural evolution was becoming with the "information technology" of records and juke boxes. Why, in these very same years, Count Basie's sides were extending jazz's New Orleans/Chicago/New York journey to Kansas City where it got back a dose of the heartland and started boppin'. And while part of that was becoming the Bird/Dizzy/Miles/Trane lineage, other parts were becoming Louis Jordan ("Ain't Nobody Here but Us Chickens")...and Johnny Otis ("Willie and the Hand Jive")...and Winonie Harris ("Lovin' Machine")...why, even Nat Cole ("Route 66"). All of these stalwarts were consummate performers.

Not so Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup. Just a guy playin' for himself. But so kinetic. So much channeling through nervy rhythm of what cannot be said through words that don't exist. You can just imagine how intoxicating this music must have been to teens, whether through jukeboxes or heard in the dark late at night over some 50,000 watt AM station booming out from big cities to small towns (Elvis) or indeed broadcast (in the Elvis rendition) from some ship off the eastern coast of England (John, Paul, George and Ringo).

So, check it out. Never mind the sniffing half-praise of Mr. Hadley. Your hips will be glad you did.

One and one is two. Two and two is four........2004-03-29

Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup is probably best known today as the writer and original singer of Elvis Presley's first record, "That's All Right". But during his heyday, Crudup was a fairly popular blues singer in his own right. He rarely performed live, because he suffered from stage fright, but he did make a lot of records that sold pretty well. He played the country blues in a hard-driving style that was quite appealing. Most of his best known songs are included here. I would recommend this CD to all fans of old time blues.

More Than All Right.......2002-10-14

Worth buying if it was just "So Glad You're Mine" 22 times. As it is, the other 21 cuts are the icing on this cake, including the remarkable "I'm Gonna Dig Myself A Hole," the original version of the famous "That's All Right, Mama," and the first popular recording of the standard "Mean Old Frisco." Although occasionally briefly profound, as in "Cool Disposition," Crudup's music is mainly rockin' fun with a beat that will make you bounce and bop, as it did for the people who made these records juke box hits in their day. The tone of his groundbreaking electric guitar achieves what for many is the ideal blues sound, especially effective when accompanied by just drums. Although not considered essential in blues history terms, Arthur Crudup could easily become any blues fan's favorite singer.

Classic good news, bad news scenario.......2004-02-03

The 2003 re-release of the "Country Fever" and the "Black Claw" sessions under the collective title "That's All Right Mama" is one of those classic "good news, bad news" scenarios.

Albert Lee fans, especially those who have followed his career since way back when, will be happy to add these rarities to their collection. But newcomers may be disappointed and possibly shun other works by this guitar great if they judge his current work by what's here.

The good news is that Albert Lee shines on some the tracks here, that there is an abundance of material (nearly 80 minutes worth), and that the liner notes help connect and explain some of the contorted links between the various songs, sessions, bands (included Heads, Hands, and Feet).

The bad news is that much of the material is not that good and sounds dated.

The key seems to distinguishing which songs are included in which session seems to be whether the lead vocals were handled by Albert Lee (these are the Country Fever tracks) or by Chas Hodges (those are the Black Claw tracks). Spend some times reading through the notes for a more complete history, some of which is admittedly based on conjecture.

The title track pretty much sets the tone for the better tracks: tasty guitar licks and decent vocals. Country in Harlem is another very good track, and along with Send Me Back to the Mines and the rollicking Undiscovered pretty much anchor this session.

The rest of the "Country Fever" tracks are, at best curiosities and covers---lots of Dylan covers---and these covers fail to generate much excitement, both because the originals were better and because they don't offer anything fresh. (Just so you know, Rocky Top, Tennessee is among the songs covered here.)

Much of the material from the "Black Claw" sessions likewise sounds dated and somewhat uninspiring. Again, it's the exceptions here that avid Albert Lee fans will be pleased to hear: the last five tracks are the strongest in this set, standing on their own and foreshadowing what would follow in Heads, Hands, and Feet (both the good stuff and the uneven material that characterized that band).

I expect you will have a hard time listening straight through, but if you are willing to prospect for the gems here, then go ahead and grab a copy of this CD.
