There Must Be a Better World Somewhere

CD-Charts > Music > Memphis Blues
by: B.B. King

Release Date May 23, 2005
King's albums are a patchy lot to be honest and, it has to be said, some are poor stuff. This one is just the deal, all the way through. All but one of the tracks are written by by Dr John and the sadly missed Doc Pomus with Fathead Newman and Hank Crawford on sax and all are tremendous. The arrangements on such as The Victim and Born Again Human are outstanding. King plays blindingly throughout with passion grace and fire (as they say). Consistent brilliance, its just too damn short. Buy.

The Complete Checker Hit Singles

CD-Charts > Music > Memphis Blues
by: Little Milton

Release Date October 15, 2001
The sad news of Little Milton (Campbell)'s death on 4/8/05 has an added significance because, as 'The Times' said in his obituary: 'LITTLE MILTON was one of the last blues singers to have come from the prewar world of sharecropping in the Mississippi Delta from which so many of the great blues performers came.'
Determined not to spend his life picking cotton he moved to Memphis where he was 'discovered' by Ike Turner who produced his early (1953-4)recordings for the legendary Sun label.
In 1961 Little Milton signed to the Checker department of the pre-eminent blues label Chess, and over the next decade enjoyed the most commercially successful period of his long career with the recording collected on this CD.
Tracks such as 'Grits ... Read More:

Together for the First Time

CD-Charts > Music > Memphis Blues
by: Bobby "Blue" Bland, B.B King

Release Date July 12, 2004
Bobby and BB are obviously huge stars in their own right.

Incredibly, the sum here is greater than the parts.

Whether they bring out the best in each other, or they are competing for attention or whatever - they both play out of their skins on this disc.

BB finds his old Memphis passion again! In my opinion he can tend to the safe and the bland. But here he cooks.

Its a sweaty soulful, bluesed up affair and a textbook example of club atmosphere crammed onto a recording.
