V.A. - Black Snake Moan (2007) OST
Black Snake Moan, the 2007 movie that stars Samuel L. Jackson as a God-fearing, bent broken soul and tortured former bluesman, with Christina Ricci playing the town tramp he feels he has to redeem by any means necessary, is a wildly provocative look at spiritual and cultural mores - and is sure to set some folks on edge. The soundtrack that accompanies it on the other hand, is a pure shimmy-shaking blues extravaganza. The film is dedicated to the memory of R.L. Burnside. His digital ghost performs 'Old Black Mattie' here, and his tune 'Just Like a Bird Without a Feather,' is covered by Jackson with Burnside's adopted son and sideman Kenny Brown. There are also cuts here by the Black Keys, Jessie Mae Hemphill, Scott Bomar the soundtrack's producer, John Doe, Outrageous Cherry (covering Junior Kimbrough no less), Bobby Rush, Precious Bryant and the North Mississippi Allstars. Sure, musically this is a mixed - but mostly satisfactory - bag. Jackson can't sing worth a damn, but he's got the feel of the blues to be sure; it's in the grain, it's not a posture. He can tell a hell of a story too; check his spoken word intro to the title track with Jason Freeman on a killer serpentine guitar. Doe does a very spooky reading of his 'The Losing Kind' here, and the Allstars kick it on the end credits like a mother. The Kimbrough cover is adequate but it doesn't fit here at all, and begs the question why the producers didn't just use Kimbrough's own music. Bomar's instrumental theses are quite beautiful; they're as deeply influenced by Ennio Morricone as they are by Ry Cooder. 'Alice Mae' and 'Stackolee,' with Jackson singing in front of a real Mississippi juke-joint crowd, are pretty great. This is Burnside's backing band with Brown, and Cedric Burnside with Luther Dickinson. Jackson doesn't need to actually sing, he's got plenty of vibe and the band kicks ass. His history is off, though, dating the latter track to 1962, when it is as old as the blues itself, but who cares It rocks. For the most part, these are the modern-day Delta blues rather than Robert Johnson's, though there are a couple of mean voice-overs by Son House here, and that is as it should be. The soundtrack to Black Snake Moan stands on its own as a fiery good time.

THE LEAVES - Hey Joe (1966)
The Leaves were an American garage rock band formed in San Fernando Valley, California in 1964. They are best known for their version of the song "Hey Joe", which was a hit in 1966. Theirs is the earliest release of this song, which became a rock standard. The band was founded by bass player Jim Pons and guitarist Robert Lee Reiner, who were inspired by hearing The Beatles while students at Cal State Northridge in Los Angeles. Originally called The Rockwells, they were fraternity brothers who formed a group and then taught themselves how to play. Besides Pons and Reiner, the original line-up included John Beck (vocals), Bill Rinehart (lead guitar), and Jimmy Kern (drums); in early 1965, Kern was replaced by drummer Tom Ray.
They began by playing surf and dance music at parties. Their first actual show was in the school gym with Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band. In 1965 The Byrds left their residency at Ciro's on Sunset Strip after making their first hit, and The Leaves (as they were by now known) were chosen to replace them. It was there they were discovered by popular singer and actor Pat Boone, who got them their first record contract, with Mira Records.Their first single, "Too Many People", was a local hit in Los Angeles. The Leaves released "Hey Joe" in November 1965, and dissatisfied with the sound, pulled it. They released a second version in early 1966, which flopped. Original guitarist Bill Rinehart left, and The Leaves redid the song again with a fuzztone by new guitarist Bob Arlin. This version of the song became a hit, hitting No. 1 in L.A. It debuted on both Billboard and Cash Box on May 21, 1966. It peaked at No. 31 on Billboard and No. 29 on the Canadian RPM Magazine charts, while showing a humbler peak position of No. 43 on Cash Box. The song ran nine weeks on both national charts. Their debut album Hey Joe followed. It took a run on the Billboard charts for 5 weeks, beginning on July 30, 1966, peaking at No. 127. The album did not make it onto the Cash Box charts.

GEORGIE FAME - 20 Beat Classics (1980)
Georgie Fame (born Clive Powell, 26 June 1943) is an English rhythm and blues and jazz singer, and keyboard player. The one-time rock and roll tour musician, who had a string of 1960s hits, is still a popular performer, often working with contemporaries such as Van Morrison and Bill Wyman.
Fame is the only British pop star to have achieved three number one hits with his only Top 10 chart entries: "Yeh Yeh" in 1964, "Getaway" in 1966 and "The Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde" in 1967.
This is the kind of compilation that can easily transport any guy of my age group to his pre-teen years; but unlike many other nostalgic initiatives that have flooded the market intentionally targeting the teenagers of yore who now have comfortable financial situations and which are instantly rejected by our more sophisticated listening filters as a bunch of crappy, syrupy stuff, this one has aged very well and is as appealing today as it was back then. The included program, released between 1964 and 1966, half of it recorded with the Blue Flames, is mostly spirited, lively music served by Fames impassioned singing -which carries many Blues and Motown genes but also Jazz singers as far back as Armstrong New Orleans inflections-, inspired horns arrangements that occasionally sound like spontaneous conversations (as on Getaway which happens to be the only Fames original), many scorching sax solos and the occasional flute or guitar one.

IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY - Live at The Fillmore '68 (2013)
A San Francisco psychedelic folk-rock band built around the violinist David LaFlamme and the soaring vocals of singer Pattie Santos, It's a Beautiful Day hit their creative and commercial peak with 1969's "White Bird," an FM radio staple, and then pretty much played out its string, succumbing to the myriad pressures of the music industry, but for a year or two there, It's a Beautiful Day was one of San Francisco's best bands. This set features the band in its prime playing live a little less than a year before the release of their first album. Early recording of this iconic band from San Francisco along with a DVD history of the band with live performances 1968 was certainly a banner year for It's A Beautiful Day. They had been performing at the Avalon Ballroom and The Fillmore Auditorium and had achieved a certain amount of success on a local level but nothing really happened until they were invited to play an opening set at the Oakland Coliseum for Cream.

RY COODER - Chicken Skin Music (1976)
Ry Cooder has always believed in the "mutuality in music," and this may be no more evident in his career than with his fifth album, Chicken Skin Music (a Hawaiian colloquialism, synonymous with goosebumps). Even more than usual, Cooder refuses to recognize borders - geographical or musical - presenting "Stand By Me" as a gospel song with a norteo arrangement, or giving the Jim Reeves country-pop classic, "He'll Have to Go," a bolero rhythm, featuring the interplay of Flaco Jimenez's accordion and Pat Rizzo's alto sax. Elsewhere, he teams with a pair of Hawaiian greats - steel guitarist and singer Gabby Pahinui and slack key guitar master Atta Isaacs - on the Hank Snow hit "Yellow Roses" and the beautiful instrumental "Chloe." If Cooder's approach to the music is stylistically diverse, his choice of material certainly follows suit. Bookended by a couple of Leadbelly compositions, Chicken Skin Music sports a collection of songs ranging from the aforementioned tracks to the charming old minstrel/medicine show number "I Got Mine" and the syncopated R&B of "Smack Dab in the Middle." Also included is Appalachian songwriter Blind Alfred Reed's "Always Lift Him Up," complete with a Hawaiian gospel tune, "Kanaka Wai Wai," woven into the instrumental section. As he explains in the album's liner notes, Cooder understands the connection between these seemingly disparate styles. This is not merely eclecticism for its own sake. Chicken Skin Music is probably Ry Cooder's most eccentric record since his first, but it's also one of his most entertaining.
TRACKS: 01. The Bourgeois Blues 02. I Got Mine 03. Always Lift Him Up/Kanaka Wai Wai 04. He'll Have to Go 05. Smack Dab in the Middle 06. Stand By Me 07. Yellow Roses 08. Chloe 09. Goodnight Irene

CAROLYN WONDERLAND - Moon Goes Missing (2017)
Blues-rocker Carolyn Wonderland is a singer/songwriter/pianist/ trumpeter/guitarist from Texas. She began performing solo as a teen and then later with her band the Imperial Monkeys. While firmly entrenched in blues-rock, Wonderland and her group sport a diverse range of other influences, from country to zydeco to surf to Latin to boogie, and even jazz. The group has performed and toured with such similarly minded predecessors as B.B. King, Johnny Winter, Buddy Guy, the Allman Brothers, Delbert McClinton, and Buddy Miles. Before relocating from her hometown of Houston to Austin, TX, Wonderland picked up a slew of awards in the Houston press, including best female vocalist seven out of eight years running. Wonderland, whose powerful voice garners frequent comparisons to Janis Joplin, was first inspired to get on the stage after seeing local outfit Little Screamin' Kenny & the Sideliners at the Houston club Fitzgerald's. Wonderland released her debut, Play With Matches, on the independent Big Mo label in 1995. In subsequent years, she continued to release albums and tour the U.S., leading the Imperial Monkeys through several incarnations.
In Carolyn Wonderland's 5th studio album Moon Goes Missing, the qualities that have cemented her notoriety in the Texas blues and rock scene are on full display. Wonderland exhibits originality and raw emotional power emitted through her vocals, alongside her tasteful soul-fused guitar work.

JERRY LEE LEWIS - Country Class (1976) & Country Memories (1977) [2016]
Beat Goes On of the UK continue their extensive reissue campaign of the Killers Country albums for Mercury Records in the sixties and Seventies - this time whomping us with "Country Class" from 1976 and "Country Memories" from 1977 onto 1CD. After a steady diet of musical mediocrity, personal scandal and the occasional nasal operation - "Country Class" and "Country Memories" at least seemed to provide long-suffering fans with some 'very brief' moments worth cheering. But the problem with both albums is that they contained much that was risible too - and time hasn't been kind to either. Here are the 'one rose you left in my heart' details... Theres the usual card slipcase and a 12-page booklet with excellent ANDREW McRAE liner notes that tell it like it is about the musical content. ANDREW THOMPSON has done the new 2016 Remasters and they sound amazing. I wish the music warranted it...
"Country Class" opens with some genuinely awful schlock - "Let's Put It Back Together Again" - cheesy strings and even cheesier arrangements make it the kind of Country crud even Country fans hate. Things improve with "No One Will Ever Know" and his respectful cover of Jo Stafford's 1952 hit "You Belong To Me" isn't bad. But songs like "I Sure Miss Those Good Old Times" and "The Old Country Church" (associated with Hank Williams) feels tired - like Presley reaching for something safe rather than the fire of old. There's a brief moment of respite with "Jerry Lee's Rock & Roll Revival Show" where those brass and piano rolls sound more John Fogerty than Hank Snow - and in a good way. "Country Memories" only offers up more of the same songs like "Let's Say Goodbye Like We Said Hello (In A Friendly Kind Of Way)" has a half decent melody and lyric but its drowned in syrupy backing vocalists and the ever present Pedal Steel. His boogied-up "Who's Sorry Now" is o.k. but far better is "(You'd Think By Now) I'd Be Over You" - a genuinely pretty melody that Jerry Lee sings well.

FRUMPY
The four musicians who formed Frumpy were all members of Irishman O' Brian-Docker's folkband The City Preachers, which he founded in Hamburg in 1965. The City Preachers played an excellent blend of American and British folk music and had, sometimes, over a dozen people on stage. Discontent with singer Dagmar Krause, drummer Carsten Bohn left the City Preachers in November 1969 and took singer Inga Rumpf, French keyboarder Jean-Jacques Kravetz and guitarist Karl-Heinz Schott with him to form Frumpy. In spring of 1970, Frumpy started a successful tour of France. The same year, they went on a 50 concert tour with Spooky Tooth, and played with Yes, Humble Pie and Renaissance. In autumn of 1970, Frumpy released the first album "All Will Be Changed" which contained only own material with the exception of a Richie Havens cover. The Following year guitarist Rainer Baumann joined Frumpy and played on the bands second LP "Frumpy 2", which was rapped in a round plastic bag. In Germany, the album was well received and proved that rock music from Germany could live up to international standard.
Their music combines jazz, soul and eastern elements with the keyboards as the most important instrument. Frumpy topped the Musik Express poll as the most popular German rock group of the year and the newspaper FAZ assisted singer Inga Rumpf to be "the country's biggest individual talent", but a tour of England with Mott The Hoople failed to attract popularity in Britain. Musical differences with keyboarder Kravetz caused him to leave Frumpy, in spring 1972, to record a solo Lp with Inga Rumpf singing one song. But he returned for the recording sessions of FRUMPY's third LP "By The Way". But Frumpy disbanded after a farewell concert on June 26, 1972. Inga Rumpf, Jean-Jacques Kravetz and Karl-Heinz Schott formed Atlantis.

ALLEN COLLINS BAND - Here, There & Back (1983)
The Allen Collins Band was a spinoff of Southern rock bands Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Rossington-Collins Band. It existed from 1983 to 1984 and was formed shortly after the dissolution of the Rossington-Collins Band. Most of the members carried over from the Rossington-Collins Band, with the exceptions of Dale Krantz and Gary Rossington, who quit after a row with Collins. Vocalist Jimmy Dougherty was brought in as front man.
The band's name was originally Horsepower, but just prior to the release of its debut album it discovered another band was already using that name. The Allen Collins Band released Here, There and Back on MCA in 1983, its only album. The sudden death of Collins' wife, Kathy, took its toll on Collins. Emotionally drained, his behavior became more and more erratic, and the band began to disintegrate.

STATUS QUO - The Last Night Of The Electrics (2017)
Anyone here seeing us for the first time asked Francis Rossi. When a small cheer was raised in response, the leader and last surviving original member of Status Quo admonished his new fans. Dont be so pleased with yourselves. Weve been around a long time. That they have. Status Quo are a British rock and roll institution. They have been plying their very particular brand of heads-down, no-nonsense, twin-guitar 12-bar boogie for nearly 50 years. Maybe you should have made an effort to see us when we were younger, Rossi mockingly continued. We might have been better. Actually, they would probably have been almost exactly the same. For nearly two hours, the five piece delivered hits and fan favourites with Rossis clear, direct vocals and sharp, repetitive yet effective lead solos riding taut and high over tinkling piano, heavy drums, driving bass and chunky rhythm guitar.

INGLORIOUS - Inglorious (2016) & II (2017)
Inglorious is an English-based Hard Rock band. Formed in February 2014 in London, the band is fronted by Nathan James, who sang for a time with Trans-Siberian Orchestra and Scorpions guitarist Uli Jon Roth. The band began formation in February 2014, when vocalist Nathan James, who made a name for himself having appeared on reality TV shows and singing for the multi-platinum selling Trans-Siberian Orchestra, and Scorpions guitar legend Uli Jon Roth, was looking for like-minded musicians that desired to make rock music in a very honest fashion. He joined up with rhythm guitarist Wil Taylor, lead guitarist Drew Lowe, bassist Colin Parkinson, and drummer Phil Beaver. After gaining attention on YouTube with their live version of Deep Purple's classic 'Burn', Drew Lowe left the band and was replaced with Birmingham guitarist Jack Edwards. Jack was then quickly released and replaced by Swedish guitarist Andreas Eriksson.
Andreas joined the band a few weeks before the recording of their self-titled debut, Inglorious, which was released in 2016. The band with help of radio station Planet Rock gathered a large social media following and toured Europe with The Winery Dogs, The Dead Daisies and as support act for American comedy hard rock band Steel Panther. After the tour, on the 17th of December 2016, Wil Taylor announced via instagram that he had left the band on December the 13th after writing and recording the second album with Inglorious. In an interesting turn of events, Drew Lowe, the band's original guitarist, rejoined the group as Taylor's replacement.

THE ROLLING STONES - Hot Rocks 1 & 2 (1985)
This two-CD set is both a lot more and a bit less than what it seems. It is seven years' worth of mostly very high-charting and all influential and important songs, leaving out some singles in favor of well-known album tracks, and in the process, giving an overview not just of the Rolling Stones' hits but of their evolving image. One hears them change from loud R&B-inspired rockers covering others' songs ("Time Is on My Side") into originators in their own right ("Satisfaction"); then into tastemakers and style-setters with a particularly decadent air ("Get Off of My Cloud,""19th Nervous Breakdown"), and finally into self-actualized rebel-poets ("Jumpin' Jack Flash,""Midnight Rambler") and Shaman-like symbols of chaos. On its initial release, Hot Rocks sold well, not only as a unique compilation but also as a panorama of the '60s. The only flaw was that it didn't give a good look at the Stones' full musical history, ignoring their early blues and psychedelic eras. There are also some anomalies in Hot Rocks' history for the collector - the very first pressings included an outtake of "Brown Sugar" featuring Eric Clapton that was promptly replaced. This is an exciting assembly of material.

BETTY - Handful (1971)
Saying this record is a classic product of its time understates - the cover art alone, referring to the title by showing a denim-clad female rear in the hands of a no doubt appreciative fellow, is so beyond irony that Spinal Tap might as well have jacked it in before they started. (It isn't made any less clear by having the full song title on the album be "Handful [Of Love].") Handful, apparently the one album ever recorded by the gleefully scuzzy L.A.-area quartet, recorded and released in a limited run in 1971 specifically to sell at their shows, isn't a lost masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination. After generations of completely gone acts from Hawkwind to Monster Magnet taking "boogie" as generally understood to the outer reaches of sanity, Betty are tame in comparison, exuberant rather than hot-wired. That said, and especially for what must have been a quick and cheap recording session at the time, they have a garagey elan, with the muddy, echoed vocals and air of warm fuzz about the whole thing - if the 2007 reissue is mastered from vinyl, it wouldn't be a surprise - and the bandmembers do their best to make their mark. Guitarist Anthony Davis takes most of the lead vocals, and while he's not much more than an enthusiastic journeyman with his embrace of bluesy cliches and "Guitar!" interjections, there's been a lot worse in later years as boogie turned into dull-ass blooze. There are definite moments of flash, though - the skeletal, heavily flanged guitar solo on "Just for Fun," whether by Davis or by fellow guitarist Mike McMahon, makes for an unsettling addition to a straightforward enough chug, for instance. More an artifact than a new addition to a fairly weighty canon, Handful is if nothing else a signpost to a now long-departed era.

MANFRED MANN - The EP Collection (1989)
Extended-play formats were hugely popular in the U.K. during the 1960s. Often EPs were collections of previous singles or selected cuts from albums - their popularity due to albums not being an affordable item for many consumers until the end of the decade. Unlike many acts, Manfred Mann were to use the EP format as an opportunity to showcase new material. Only releasing two albums during their stay with EMI, a huge number of tracks not considered for singles found their way onto EPs, three of which The One in the Middle, There's No Living Without Your Loving, and Machines hit the number one spot on the nation's EP charts. This collection gathers together some hidden gems such as "Groovin," Bob Dylan's "With God on Our Side," and the self-penned "The One in the Middle," initially written for but rejected by the Yardbirds. It also includes several early singles, including "5-4-3-2-1,""Cock-a-Hoop," and the transatlantic number one "Do Wah Diddy Diddy." However, this package is sadly not definitive, lacking several tracks such as "I Put a Spell on You" and "Let's Go Get Stoned" from There's No Living Without Your Loving and the majority of cuts from the band's 1966 Instrumental Asylum EP. Yet for the Mann enthusiast who wishes to go beyond the purchase of a standard hits package, this is an excellent introduction to some of the group's more eclectic work.

AMOS GARRETT - Buried Alive In The Blues (1994) & Off The Floor Live! (1996)
Detroit native Amos Garrett began working as a professional guitarist north of the border in Toronto. There he played with the Dirty Shames, a folk jug band, before moving on to the country-rock-oriented Great Speckled Bird at the invitation of Ian and Sylvia Tyson. Maria Muldaur's "Midnight at the Oasis" features his guitar playing, as does Anne Murray's "Snowbird." Other artists who have utilized his talent include Stevie Wonder, Emmylou Harris, Jesse Winchester, Paul Butterfield, Hungry Chuck, and Geoff Muldaur. His studio work led him to California, and he continued to record with other artists. Later, with the Eh Team backing him, Garrett also put out his own recordings, more than half a dozen on Stony Plain Records. In 1989, his album The Return of the Formerly Brothers, garnered a Juno Award. The release also featured Gene Taylor (formerly of Downchild, the Blasters, and later with the Fabulous Thunderbirds) and Doug Sahm of the Texas Tornados. Garrett and the Eh Team continue to play nightspots in Canada, where he resides in Alberta. He toured Japan in 1990, with stops in Kyoto, Osaka, and Tokyo. The concerts there found their way onto a live album.
This is the first live album of this Canadian guitar virtuoso with the wonderful mellow baritone voice (mindful of foggy nights on the West Coast). Amos Garrett and his band, the Eh Team, are in great shape here, just moving along and laying down a very satisfying and moving groove. The many forms of the blues -- from laid-back big-band jump blues to the big-city Chicago sound, country blues, and rip-out-the-stops electric blues -- are all displayed here, with Garrett's rich voice and stunning guitar work leading everything along. This is no pick-up band. After playing together for ten years, their grown-together familiarity is apparent all throughout the disc, and they also get their individual chances to shine in many places. Ron Casat ably takes the vocal chores on his writing contribution, "Looking for a Sign." The shining gem on this excellent live album is the old Santo & Johnny tune "Sleepwalk"; listen to the daring guitar work Garrett takes to the edge with this tune. Or you might want to give a good loud listen to "Willie and the Hand Jive," the Johnny Otis classic; just try keeping your feet off the dancefloor during this astonishing version.

MR. BIG - Defying Gravity (2017)
American rock survivors Mr Big return with their new album Defying Gravity proving they are still rocking out in fine form after all these years. Recorded in just under a week and produced by Kevin Elson who did their first few albums back in the day, Defying Gravity is a fun album with a few nostalgic moments including the opening spoken "We're Rolling" in addition to some quirky moments that keep things interesting. The performances by each band member are all great and Eric Martin still delivers those beautiful vocals but the musical virtuosity is certainly a lot more tame compared to previous albums. I have to mention a slight negative point for me was that the mixing sounds a little muffled compared to the best recordings available today. This may have been due to the quick process of recording or it may be intentional but either way it could have been improved to make the music sparkle more. Highlights include the opening track "Open Your Eyes" which starts things off with a big bluesy groove, the awesome guitar hooks in "Defying Gravity", the excellent acoustic ballad "Damn Im In Love Again" which features a great vocal hook, the unique guitar riff and memorable chorus of "Mean To Me", and the classic Mr Big sound of power ballad "Forever And Back". The Japanese edition includes a radio edit of "Defying Gravity" which has a crisper mix that I would have loved throughout the album. Despite the fact that there are a couple of clunkers on an album that's much stronger in the first half of the set, Defying Gravity should still satisfy fans of the band without setting the world on fire.

GRATEFUL DEAD - Smiling On A Cloudy Day (2017)
The Grateful Dead was an American rock band formed in 1965 in Palo Alto, California. Ranging from quintet to septet, the band is known for its unique and eclectic style, which fused elements of rock, psychedelia, experimental music, modal jazz, country, folk, bluegrass, blues, reggae, and space rock, for live performances of lengthy instrumental jams, and for their devoted fan base, known as "Deadheads". "Their music," writes Lenny Kaye, "touches on ground that most other groups don't even know exists." These various influences were distilled into a diverse and psychedelic whole that made the Grateful Dead "the pioneering Godfathers of the jam band world". The band was ranked 57th by Rolling Stone magazine in its The Greatest Artists of All Time issue. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994 and a recording of their May 8, 1977 performance at Cornell University's Barton Hall was added to the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress in 2012. The Grateful Dead have sold more than 35 million albums worldwide.
The Grateful Dead were at the cultural epicenter of the scene at Haight-Ashbury and the Summer of Love. This is a new compilation on 1 LP and 1 CD of core Grateful Dead tracks from this period.

KEITH EMERSON - Off the Shelf (2006)
Esoteric Recordings are pleased to announce the re-release of the archive collection Off the Shelf by Keith Emerson. Originally issued in 2006 and long deleted, this collection (compiled by Keith Emerson) was a marvellous anthology of various recordings in Emersons archives. Keith Emersons work as a virtuoso keyboard player, composer and arranger for The Nice, Emerson Lake & Palmer is legendary. During his extensive career, Keith was never restricted by musical norms or classification. His music revealed the breadth of his musical influences, from classical composers such as Mussorgsky to Charlie Parker, rock & roll to The Band to Frank Zappa. Off the Shelf was Keith Emersons means of revealing a collection of recorded works for various projects dating as far back as 1968 with The Nice, some of which were consigned to the archives for a variety of reasons and destined to remain unreleased until Off the Shelf was first issued. They feature recordings with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the London Jazz Orchestra and legendary musicians including Levon Helm & Garth Hudson (of The Band), Aynsley Dunbar, Pat Travers, Cozy Powell and more. This Esoteric Recordings edition sees the welcome appearance once more of a classic collection.
"Some of the musical styles presented here contributed to my work with Emerson Lake & Palmer and also The Nice. I feel very fortunate to have played certain pieces with musicians who are the best in their field. So abandon any expectation of continuity and expect the unexpected as I presente 'Off the Shelf' - a veritable cornucopia of Pot Pourri within an audio montage! This is all stuff I love and want to share with you now." - Keith Emerson

KENNY WAYNE SHEPHERD BAND - Lay It On Down (2017)
As a renowned hot-rodder and speed-freak, perhaps its apt that Kenny Wayne Shepherds musical career has no reverse gear. Awards, acclaim and platinum album sales flash by in a blur. No doubt, Lay It On Down is an of-the-moment album that invites the listener into Shepherds headspace as he reaches the age of 40.
Yet on songs like Louisiana Rain saluting the home-state where Shepherd came up as the music-obsessed son of a radio station magnate this fascinating album also joins the dots to the formative events that led him here. That song is personal, he nods. Its written from my experience. Because no matter where I go in the world, theres always something that brings me back to Louisiana. That place will always be my home. In January 2017, when Shepherd and his band entered the Echophone Studios in Shreveport, Louisiana, the mission statement was nothing if not ambitious. The greatest songs of Shepherds career. No more. No less. The point of this album, he says, was that I wanted to put a heavy emphasis on the songs themselves and the writing behind them. I wanted each song to really stand on ist own with the songwriting, the music, the words. True to the brief, Lay It On Down is a tracklisting that runs the musical gamut, with songs that will be embraced by Shepherds long-standing fans, alongside moments that strike out in fresh directions.
