MUD MORGANFIELD & KIM WILSON - FOR POPS: A TRIBUTE TO MUDDY WATERS
The son
of legendary bluesman Muddy Waters, Mud Morganfield and Fabulous Thunderbird
front man Kim Wilson come together for this tribute release, packaged in
Digipak format. For Pops (A Tribute To Muddy Waters) represents some of Mud's
favorite songs from his father including the iconic I Just Want to Make Love to
You plus Blow Wind Blow and Just to Be With You. When you hear Mud belt out his
version of the classic My Dog Can't Bark it's clear that the apple truly
doesn't fall far from the tree. Kim Wilson lives up to his reputation as the
finest purveyor of the 'Little Walter' harmonica style by laying down some of
his best work to date. Backing them is the crack team of Billy Flynn and Rusty
Zinn (guitars), Barrelhouse Chuck (Piano), Steve Gomes (bass) and Robb Stupka
(drums). For Pops only scratches the surface of the impressive catalog left by
the master bluesman, but this collection is a must for Blues fans everywhere.
We're certain 'Pops' is proud of his boy. ~ Amazon

TROXY MUSIC FIFTIES AND SIXTIES FILM THEMES
Not the
usual film themes of the late 50s and early 60s – no James Bond numbers or
Henry Mancini hits – and instead, a very cool, very well-selected batch of
tracks that really opens up this cinematic generation! All of the numbers stand
very well on their own – and the set mixes jazzy groovers with vocal themes and
other standout moments from more obscure movies of the time – all to make a
really playful, really groovy package that's filled with surprise after
surprise all the way through! The music is from both British and American
sources – and titles include "No Love For Johnnie" by Gerry Beckles,
"A Kind Of Loving" by Ron Grainer, "Live Now Pay Later" by
Doug Sheldon, "Payroll" by Reg Owen, "Take A Giant Step" by
Ernest Maxin, "I'm A Lonely Man" by Hardy Kruger, "Look For A
Star" by Gary Mills, "I'm All Right Jack" by Al Saxon, and
"Duet From 16" by John Dankworth. ~ Dusty Groove
