Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo I got them blues...Help!

Cool! That's one of the discs I've seen locally!

Thanx!

Hey Mark
Although I like everything Keb Mo has put out so far, The Door is my least favorite. "Just Like You" and his first "Keb'Mo' " are probably my favorites and "Just Like You" is also available in SACD. I prefer the CD version of "Just Like You" more. In my opinion I dont think the SACD was mixed well for SACD.
Other really good Keb Mo cds include "Slow Down" (title track is great!) and "Keep It Simple"

Thanks for the input!

According to Amazon reviews, it seems that a fair number of others thought The Door was not his strongest. I wanted to ask here though, because I know you Axiomites will not only jusge a recording by the passion of the music, but whether or not it's a crappy recording as well!

I find that all his cds are recorded pretty well ands its not that the" Just Like You' isnt recorded well, I just dont think it was mastered for SACD well.

BUMP!


How about some new suggestions for the blues.

Mine is Rita Chiarelli !!!!
I was turned on to only one song by her, "Tupelo", and all I can say is WOW.
After hearing that cut I did a little research and found she has 4-5 cds out.
I listened to some snippits and promptly ordered 3 CDs.

Before I knew she was an Italian from Canada, I could have sworn she was a 60 year old African American lady from Mississippi.


And for those of you who love the blues and dont remember reading this thread, I would recommend reading it all the way through.
There are some GREAT suggestions here.

One of the best blues CDs in my collection is Muddy Waters "The Folksinger" recorded with a young Buddy Guy and Willie Dixon on bass. Its country acoustic blues at its best and an excellent sounding recording. Highly recommended if you like the blues. Many standout songs but my favourite is "Country Boy".

I don’t listen to the Blues enough to have many favorite artists, but I’ve got two CD’s that I’ve been enjoying quite a bit.

Kirk Fletcher – Shades of Blue
Kenny Wayne – 10 Days Out

Both are an assortment of different artists with Fletcher and KWS playing guitar with them. The KWS cd has some great stuff on it, and the DVD that comes with the CD was a real treat as well. I watched the DVD and couldn’t believe some of the old timers that can still get it on. Heck, some are over 90 and playing as strong as ever.

Rita Chiarelli: What a night - Live!
SQ is good for a live recording.

Susan Tedechi: Just won't burn
She has a deep, husky voice and plays wicked lead.

Dave Hole: Ticket to Chicago
Screaming, wailing slide riffs from Australia. Play it loud.

Anthony Gomes - Blues in Technicolor. Opened up for B.B King

Wolfe (Todd Wolfe) Delaware Crossing. Seen him with KWS

Danny Click - Night of Living Guitars

here's a few excellent ones:

junior well & buddy guy- hoodoo man blues
john lee hooker- the healer
jimmy reed- live at carnegie hall
johnnie johnson- johnnie b bad
lightnin hopkins- last night blues
