T-Bone Walker - Very Rare - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

This double disc set is well titled, as it contains most of T-Bone's greatest recordings from his glory years. Disc One comes from his Capitol and Black & White period, and includes his best-known song, InchCall It Stormy Monday,Inch along with his other classics, backed by the cream of the Los Angeles players. Disc Two is the best of his Imperial sides, the sides that B. B. King has said were the recordings that were his greatest inspiration, mostly backed by the warm horn charts of Maxwell Davis, who later performed the same function for B. B. The remastering is awesome; this stuff has never sounded cleaner. You can hear every instrument, not easy on recordings from the late 40s-early 50s. The liner notes are literate and informative, and of generous length. Great photos inside too!

Reissue of Dimmu Borgir's 1997 breakthrough album that won the worldwide acclaim and is still heralded as one of the finest Norwegian Black Metal offerings!

Guitarist T-Bone Walker is one of the most influential musicians in musical history. The Texan was one of the pioneers of the electric guitar and his recordings, made in the early 1940s for Capitol, Rhumboogie, and Black & White, are some of the earliest defining moments for electric blues. His playing was influential upon others of his era most notably B.B. King but also several jazz players and many rock greats. He made a lot of records throughout his later career, some of variable quality. The less ground-breaking albums have often been overlooked; one of the best is his 1969 Blues time LP EVERY DAY I HAVE THE BLUES. Producer Bob Thiele took him to Capitol studios, teamed him up with some of the best session musicians and made a crisp, slightly funky masterpiece. There are great vocal performances, such as on the title track and 'Sail On', and his guitar sounds amazing on 'For B.B. King'. This album didn't sell well, is difficult to find and is largely forgotten. This is it's first reissue, and is taken from original master tapes. As a bonus we have added two tracks that were recorded at a 1970 show at the Carnegie Hall, New York.
