SKIP JAMES – BLUES FROM THE DELTA

(Skip James was also rediscovered later in life. A bluesman whose worn out 78s from the early part of this century had intrigued the likes of John Fahey reinstated his recording career in 1967 with the help of Fahey. Skip recorded two albums for the label before he died in 1969 and BLUES FROM DELTA (VCD 79517) contains the best of the two albums and two previously unreleased tracks. In addition, the bass has been restored to its full glory, an essential detail missing on previous reissues)

SKIP JAMES – RARE AND UNRELEASED

(Skip James was one of the greats of early country blues, a name to mention in the same breath as Robert Johnson, Son House, Charley Patton and Bukka White. His reputation rests chiefly on the songs made for Paramount in 1931. On these he accompanies his own singing on guitar and, on five songs, piano. Two of the latter - Little Cow And Calf Is Gonna Die and If You Haven't Any Hay Get On Down The Road - are classics, weird call-and-response exercises between voice and piano and normal pitch vocals and falsetto. Following his rediscovery in 1964, Skip not only reworked in masterly fashion his earlier classics but also expanded our knowledge of his keyboard style nearly threefold with the belated release of Skip's Piano Blues (made that same year but not released until the 90s on Edsel EDCD 481). Just when it seemed the well was dry, here comes another essential album containing 19 previously unreleased songs from a 1967 recording session, including more piano explorations (Backwater Blues, Lazy Bones, Omaha Blues), spine-chilling vocals (Oh, Mary Don't You Weep) and tumbling, slashing guitar lines (Jack Of Diamonds).
Full track listing:
01 BACKWATER BLUES 02 EVERYBODY OUGHT TO LIVE RIGHT 03 I WANT TO BE MORE LIKE JESUS 04 JACK OF DIAMONDS 05 MY LAST BOOGIE 06 LAZY BONES 07 LET JESUS LEAD YOU (ALL THE WAY) 08 MY OWN BLUES 09 OH, MARY DON'T YOU WEEP 10 OHAMA BLUES 11 BUMBLE BEE 12 ONE DIME BLUES 13 KEEP YOUR LAMP TRIMMED AND BURNING 14 SOMEBODY GONNA WISH THEY HAD RELIGION 15 SOMEBODY LOVES YOU 16 SORRY FOR TO LEAVE YOU 17 SPORTING LIFE BLUES 18 THEY ARE WAITING FOR ME 19 WALKING THE SEA)

JOHNNIE & JOE – I'LL BE SPINNING: THE J&S RECORDINGS

(Ace Records released “The J&S Years” by Baby Washington & the Hearts (CDCHD 1089), and “The Clickettes Meet The Fashions” (CDCHD 1095), a set containing that dual-monikered group’s complete recordings for Dice Records, earlier this year. Johnnie & Joe’s I’LL BE SPINNING marks Ace's third venture into the catalogue of the late Zelma “Zell” Sanders, the fabled Harlem-based proprietor of the J&S, Dice, Scatt, Zell’s and other logos: the duo comprised Mrs Sanders’ daughter Johnnie Louise Richardson and Joe Rivers.
For the Hearts, the first act she managed, Zell Sanders secured a deal with Baton Records, the fortunate recipients of the gals’ debut, Lonely Nights, a Top 10 R&B smash late in 1954. (This and three more of the group’s recordings can be found on “The Baton Label: Sol’s Story”, CDCHD 505.) After a few more releases by the Hearts, Zell was ready to form her own record company, J&S, which launched in June 1956 with releases by the Pilgrim Harmoneers and the Pre-Teens.
Johnnie & Joe debuted for the label that October with Feel Alright, but it was the B-side of that platter, I’ll Be Spinning, that clicked with radio listeners. Sensing a new indie hit ripe for covering, Modern Records of Los Angeles rushed out a version of the song by the Cadets, while Leonard Chess came a’knocking at Mrs Sanders’ front door (literally) with an offer to distribute the record nationally. Deal done, I’ll Be Spinning was released by Chess Records, reaching the R&B Top 10 in January 1957. The duo’s next disc, Over The Mountain, Across The Sea, was shipped by J&S the following month and immediately attracted the attention of DJs such as Hal Jackson, who played it to death, prompting another distribution deal with Chess. Then Dick Clark got behind the record and aired it on his nationally syndicated TV show, American Bandstand. By April it was #1 in Detroit and by May it had entered Billboard’s national charts, where it peaked at #3 R&B a few weeks later, also reaching #8 during a lengthy six-month run on their Hot 100 Pop list. In July My Baby’s Gone, On, On joined its A-side in the R&B chart at #15. Rather than enter into a permanent deal with Chess, Mrs Sanders brazened it out as an independent. Over the next 13 years Johnnie & Joe released great singles not just on J&S and Chess, but also Gone, ABC Paramount, Lana and Tuff, yet the duo were never able to live down Over The Mountain, Across The Sea. By 1960 the era of “Those Oldies But Goodies” had begun, and Johnnie & Joe were early beneficiaries. That September, over three years after its initial release, continued airplay resulted in their classic re-entering the Hot 100 for a couple of weeks. The event prompted something the record never had first time around, a soundalike sequel, Across The Sea . In 1962, J&S re-released Over The Mountain, Across The Sea and issued (somewhat belatedly) Over The Mountain, Part 2. Circa 1965 Johnnie & Joe cut a new version of Over The Mountain, Across The Sea for the Lana label and in 1970 Johnnie released a solo update of the song on Zell’s.
Zell Sanders died in 1976, aged just 54, while Johnnie Louise was only 40-something when she was felled by a stroke in 1988. Today one can expect to pay £350 for a mint condition copy of the original British 45 of Over The Mountain, Across The Sea, but fans blessed with smaller budgets now have this bumper collection to savour. It contains the cream of Johnnie & Joe’s recordings, including some later soul-style sides and solo offerings from Johnnie, the majority of which are making their legit CD debut – I Pray To Keep Our Love Strong and Be Sure are previously unissued in any format. The CD is a long overdue tribute to one of the classic duos of 1950s R&B, all wrapped up in a lavish booklet comprising 20 pages, four of which are devoted to a Johnnie & Joe discography brainstormed by co-compiler Peter Gibbon.

ROY LEE JOHNSON - WHEN A GUITAR PLAYS THE BLUES

(The first, long overdue, collection of rare but sought-after singles by Roy Lee Johnson, the underground hero of guitar freaks and deep soul fans. Includes Mister Moonlight, known to millions by the Beatles but originally by Dr Feelgood and the Interns (vocal: Roy Lee Johnson) and the first version of When A Guitar Plays The Blues, since revived by Albert Collins and Roy Buchanan. Eleven previously unissued tracks including four by underrated soul man, Curtis Smith, Johnson's fellow singer-guitarist in the Interns. The most soulful of Sixties soul packaged with all Bear Family's meticulous attention to detail including a lavishly illustrated essay by über-fan and soul authority, Martin Goggin

Roy Lee Johnson first came to attention as the occasional vocalist with the Interns, a R&B band led by blues shouter Dr Feelgood, aka Piano Red. But there's a whole lot more to this songwriter, guitarist and singer of soul with a capital 'S'. Johnson's little heard treasures of Southern soul are finally served up on one CD. Everything he recorded for Okeh, Columbia, Josie and Philips is here; records you'd never own without spending months on e-bay and trunkloads of cash. We have the original Mister Moonlight, heard by millions on the Beatles' fourth American LP, the shimmering Love Is Amazing, recorded by the Ohio Untouchables and Robert Ward, and the iconic When A Guitar Plays The Blues, revived by major axe men like Roy Buchanan and Albert Collins. There are gritty dance workouts, lilting soul ballads, ferocious instrumentals and devastating deep wrist-slashers from Muscle Shoals. Sixties soul reissues may be coin of the realm these days but few are quite as essential as this scorching collection of Roy Lee Johnson's best performances.

Track listing:
Mister Moonlight, Love Is Amazing, Sea Breeze, Black Pepper Will Make You Sneeze, Too Many Tears, Nobody Does Something For Nothing, Busybody, I'm So Happy, My Best Just Ain't Good Enough, Love Birds, When A Guitar Plays The Blues, Plowing Playboy, That's All I Need, Slowly I'm Falling In Love With You, Two Doors Down (instrumental), Stanback Headache Powder, It's All Over - Busybody (2), So Anna Just Love Me, Boogaloo #3, Cheer Up Daddy's Comin' Home, Guitar Man, Can You Handle It, Chunk Some Love, Take Me Back And Try Me, She Put The Whammy On Me, CURTIS SMITH: Don't Do This To Me, CURTIS SMITH: Two Wrongs (Won't Make It Right), CURTIS SMITH: Come Here Baby, CURTIS SMITH: I've Got A Feeling)

JOHNNY JONES - THE SESSION YEARS - 1956 - 1966

(24 recordings featuring guitarist Johnny Jones between 1956 and 1966. Born in 1936 in Tennessee, Johnny taught himself to play guitar and in 1950 moved to Chicago, which was fast becoming the centre of the Blues music world, where he learnt from and shared stages with Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf before working regularly with Junior Wells and Freddie King. He then headed back down south to lead an R&B Review before joined The Jimmy Beck Orchestra which was the main in house studio group for the Calvert, Champion and Cherokee labels. On most of these sessions either Jimmy Beck or Johnny Jones were the featured soloists. Johnny was featured on ‘Pipe Dreams’, a hit for the Champion label and on ‘Nightmare’ his funky low string licks sound like they could have been an early influence on Steve Cropper. In the early 1960’s Johnny formed The King Casuals who performed regularly as the house band at the famous Modern Era night club. The band included a young bass player named Billy Cox and when Billy brought his army buddy, Jimi Hendrix along to see the band, Jimi was fascinated by Johnny’s command of the Blues guitar and the two became friends. When Johnny Jones left The King Casuals to form The Imperial Seven, (later called The Beat Boys), Jimi Hendrix replaced Johnny in the band. Johnny and the Imperial Seven became the house band for Bill 'Hoss' Allen’s 'Athens' and 'Hermitage' record labels, as well as the house band for the Nashville television show 'Night Train' in 1964 and 1965. Then rechristened The Beat Boys, became the house band for the legendary American syndicated television show THE !!!! BEAT in 1966. The last two tracks on the CD are two interludes from THE !!!! BEAT.
