Live 1992-1993

CD-Charts > Music > Texas Blues
by: Albert Collins

Release Date September 12, 1995
There are more than enough technically brilliant guitarists with little to say, shredders who equate quality with the number of notes they can play in a minute. Albert Collins had something to say and could say it with a sparcity and tone to send shivers down your spine. The live albums are all worth hearing but despite the constant reminder that this was almost the end this is still my favourite. Some of the best of his material played with power and warmth. Seriously recommended to anyone with a taste for blues or great guitar, should be essential listening for any player.

The Real Deal: Greatest Hits, Vol. 2

CD-Charts > Music > Texas Blues
by: Stevie Ray Vaughan

Release Date
Stevie Ray Vaughan's original hits package was far too short at 11 tracks, but this fine compilation goes a long way towards making up for that, and it features excellent songs like "Willie The Wimp", "Ain't Gone 'N' Give Up On Live" and "Life By The Drop".

That still doesn't make it a definitive career retrospective, though, even when coupled with "Greatest Hits" vol. I.
At 27 songs, these two albums are trumped by the superb double-disc collection "The Essential Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble", which is cheaper than "Greatest Hits" vol. I and II together, yet features a slightly stronger selection of songs and six more tracks.

Go get that one. Go, go!

Good Feelin'

CD-Charts > Music > Texas Blues
by: T-Bone Walker

Release Date September 24, 2007
Quite simply put, worth buying for "Woman You Must Be Crazy" alone, singularly demonstrating once more why T-Bone is the Godfather of Electric Blues.

Enough said
