Various Artists - Roots of It All Acoustic Blues Vol. 2 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]
About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Blues
- Description: Second volume in this series of four 2-CD digipac sets. Covering the story of acoustic blues from 1941 to 1959. Pre-war and post-war recordings, a total of 55 tracks, carefully re-mastered from the original sources. 124-page booklet with rare photos and in-depth liner notes and bios. Blues greats like Big Joe Williams, Brownie McGhee, McKinley Morganfield, John Lee Hooker, and Big Bill Broonzy alongside lesser know pickers like William Brown, Alabama Slim, Manny Nichols, a. m. o. Bear Family's second volume in this series commences at just about the time that amplification was beginning to permanently alter the definition of blues guitar. Texan T-Bone Walker was at the vanguard of the new electrified approach. He inspired an army of daring young disciples who picked out dazzling single-string solos that fit right into the urban jump blues phenomenon sweeping the country during the immediate postwar era. Yet there was still a market for downhome acoustic blues guitar. Indie firms introduced a new batch of guitarists who stubbornly refused to amplify their instruments. Most of them were solidly rooted in pre-war tradition. A few such as Nat Terry, Willie Lane, Julius King, and Johnny Beck made one or two now-prized 78s and were never heard from again. This collection includes splendid selections by a few of the giants from the pre-war days that we heard from last time-Big Bill Broonzy, Blind Willie McTell, Josh White, Big Joe Williams-who were still actively creating and recording classic sides, but it's largely devoted to the new crop of acoustic blues guitarists Album Tracks 1. Crawlin' King Snake Bywilliams, Joe 2. Catfish Blues By Petway, Robert 3. Step It Up and Go No 2 By Blind Boy Fuller #2 (Brownie McGhee) 4. Cross Cut Saw Blues By Hollins, Tony 5. Black Spider Blues By Lockwood, Robert 6. I Be's Troubled By Morganfield, McKinley 7. If I Get Lu

Recording sessions took place between December 1978 and June 1979 at Allen Zentz Recording, Westlake Recording Studios, and Cherokee Studios in Los Angeles, California. Jackson collaborated with a number of other writers and performers such as Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder and Rod Temperton. Five singles were released from the album.

Limited vinyl LP repressing in gatefold jacket. Thriller is the sixth solo studio album by Michael Jackson. It was released by Epic Records on November 30, 1982, as the follow-up to Jackson's critically and commercially successful 1979 album Off The Wall. Thriller explores similar genres to those of Off The Wall, including pop, post-disco, rock and funk. Recording sessions took place on April to November 1982 at Westlake Recording Studios in Los Angeles with a production budget of $750, 000, assisted by producer Quincy Jones. Seven singles were released from the album, all of which reached the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. In just over a year, Thriller became-and currently remains-the best-selling album of all time, with estimated sales of 65 million copies worldwide. It has become the first album ever to be certified 32 times multi-platinum for U.S. sales, marking more than 32 million sales shipped.

Limited vinyl LP repressing in gatefold jacket. Bad is the seventh solo studio album by Michael Jackson. It was released on August 31, 1987, nearly five years after Jackson's previous studio album, Thriller. Bad was recorded during the first half of 1987.
