The White Stripes

Search: Stop Breaking Down
by: The White Stripes

Release Date December 03, 2008
From the pounding drum intro to opening track 'Jimmy the Exploder' this album is a winner. Check the liner notes; they even give credit for the loan of the 18" floor tom that helps to make this massive racket. Zipping through 18 songs in 45 minutes, these selections are stripped down, raw and full of energy. The reverb is cranked up high, the playing is intense, and the attitude is ferocious.

I've been a bit of a latecomer to the White Stripes, but I've almost caught up now. I think De Stijl is still my favourite, but this one comes close. It's what the White Stripes are supposed to sound like.

And that's all I have to say about that.

South Side Blues Jam

Search: Stop Breaking Down
by: Junior Wells

Release Date July 15, 2005
Cut on December 30th 1969 and January 8th 1970, "Southside Blues Jam" is a looser affair than its predecessor, with longer songs, but equally well played by the superb combo which includes Buddy Guy, Fred Below, and pianist Otis Spann, whose presence almost always guarantees greatness (or at least "goodness").
The sound is very good, and the music is, too. Lean, muscular electric blues, including excellent renditions of "Stop Breaking Down", "I Just Want To Make Love To You", and "I Wish I Knew Then What I Know Now" (which is actually Rice Miller's "In My Younger Days"). And Buddy Guy steps up and sings the final track, the seven-minute "Trouble Don't Last Always".

Dominated by Wells' strong, confident voice (and by the masterful ... Read More:

Exile on Main St.

Search: Stop Breaking Down
by: The Rolling Stones

Release Date August 29, 2005
Exile is not one of the Stones' more immediately accessible albums; it takes a while to appreciate its treasures. At first listen it might sound just raw and messy but eventually the scales fall from your ears and a true gem is revealed. Very much of a cohesive whole, the album gains momentum in its successive tracks to display the multifaceted rock virtuosity of the Stones at their most powerful. The music is intense throughout and often energetic. To me, the first section culminates in the lilting masterpiece Tumbling Dice.

The yearning country strains of Sweet Virginia introduce the next segment; this song reminds me of Far Away Eyes on the 1978 album Some Girls. Torn And Frayed has a similar soulful country feel and the catchy Sweet ... Read More:
