| Ike Turner & His Kings Of Rhythm - Ike's Instrumentals Rock and blues guitarists alike owe a gargantuan debt to Ike Turner. His ferocious whammy-bar hammering, choppy chording, and ultra-aggressive string-bending solos were way ahead of their time from the mid-1950s onwards. Yet the man himself has never taken his audacious guitar chops all that seriously. Even after all these years and adulation from a legion of bedazzled admirers, he considers himself first and foremost an expert boogie pianist who purchased an electric guitar during the early 1950s out of sheer necessity more than anything else. Encountering some difficulty finding a reliable axeman for his combo, the Kings of Rhythm, Ike strapped on a Stratocaster and cut loose (besides, his girlfriend Bonnie was accomplished on the ivories). "It sounds like I was a guitar player," humbly demurs Ike. "But I'm not." Ah, but we know better. In actuality, Ike laid down some of the most daring and exciting blues guitar solos of the 1950s and 1960s. And if you've yet to savour this Clarksdale, Mississippi native in his pre-Tina prime, look no further than Ace's first ever all-instrumental collection from Ike. It's a superb non-stop celebration of Ike Turner the Stratocaster master, featuring sides from the Bihari brothers' Flair and Crown logos, Juggy Murray's Sue imprint, and microscopic Stevens Records of Granite City, Illinois. In March of 1954, between producing a variety of vocal prot?©g?©s for the Biharis in Clarksdale, Turner waxed a handful of marvellous instrumentals. Included was a curious marathon medley, eventually issued under the title All The Blues All The Time, that found Ike and his crew accurately recreating the grooves of B.B. King, Elmore James, Muddy Waters, Junior Parker, and John Lee Hooker. By the time he briefly surfaced at Stevens in 1959, Ike Turner's credentials as a certified guitar monster were entirely in order - as the blazing Ho Ho and his first version of Prancin' eloquently attest. Though his hitmaking activities with Tina began to relegate Ike's wild guitar antics to the background from 1960 on, he found time to cut an instrumental album for Sue in 1962 showcasing the Kings of Rhythm at their fire-breathing, take-no-prisoners hottest. Twistin' The Strings (another jaw-dropping workout that Kent inexplicably shelved in '64) and both halves of his funky '65 Sue gem The New Breed add to the unassailable digital testimony herein. This splendid disc proves that Ike Turner's long reign as blues guitar royalty is entirely justified - even if he has yet to be fully convinced himself! By Bill Dahl (Ace Records) |

| Jimmy Witherspoon - Sings The Blues Sessions The aural equivalent of aromatherapy from the Crown Prince of Cool Blues. Beautifully recorded with a small combo in the 60s for the "Sings The Blues" LP sessions. Plus six bonus cuts. By Tony Rounce In case you hadn't noticed, Ace has been getting thoroughly stuck into its owned repertoire of late. Our extensive-bordering-on-exhaustive campaign to digitise every important RPM/Kent recording by B.B. King is well under way, the still-relatively new 10 inch series is coming on nicely and the long-awaited Modern Downhome series has been garnering all the critical plaudits it obviously merits. Next month will see the first volume 'proper' in our "Central Avenue Scene" series, which will initially draw its repertoire from Jake Porter's Combo imprint and eventually spread out to incorporate Modern and Recorded In Hollywood/Cash/Money recordings. And as well as all this, we're also about to give the Ace treatment to the Modern and Kent recordings of another acclaimed blues legend who fully deserves it, the great Jimmy Witherspoon. We've had a toe in the water where Spoon is concerned for a number of years, via Ray Topping's excellent compilation of material from the man's first tenure with Modern 'Blowing In From Kansas City' (CDCHD 279). But now we're going for the full plunge, with a number of packages that will embrace all Spoon's recordings for the company from the late 40s to the early 60s. Most of this material has never been issued on CD before and, due to some ultra- intensive research of the Modern acetates, we will also be premiering some previously unknown and undocumented sides as we get deeper into the project. We're kicking off this month with an expanded version of a great little album that Spoon cut for Joe Bihari at the tail end of the 50s, one that was first released - in two slightly different configurations - as Jimmy Witherspoon SINGS THE BLUES, on Modern's budget label Crown. A budget release it may well have originally been, but there was nothing 'budget' about its quality of musicianship, material or vocals, as this first time CD issue proves. Spoon's inimitable vocal style is ideally suited to the intimate, relaxed musical backup that Bihari surrounded him with here. And how nice it is to hear him paying tribute to his equally stellar contemporaries Nat "King" Cole (Gee Baby Ain't I Good To You), Billy Eckstine (Jelly Jelly), Wynonie Harris (Playful Baby), T-Bone Walker (Stormy Monday), Johnny Watson (She Moves Me), B.B. King (several tracks here), as well as a number of blues giants of a previous generation such as Leroy Carr (Blues Came Falling Down, How Long How Long Blues) and the first Sonny Boy Williamson (When My Heart Beats Like A Hammer). As well as including everything that featured on either of the original issues of "Sings The Blues" - you'll have to see the sleevenotes for a more detailed explanation of the differences between the regular and "X"-suffixed versions! - project supervisor Roger Armstrong has embellished the original content of both with the addition of a further 13 tracks. These were either cut at the same time as, or shortly before or after, the sessions that produced the original vinyl issue. In titling this collection 'Sings The Blues Sessions' Ace may (or may not!) be being slightly economical with the truth, as no session details were filed on these recordings which were almost certainly cut, on the down-low, without the knowledge of the Los Angeles Musicians Union - seemingly a fairly regular occurrence for Joe Bihari at the time. But whether or not they were included on the original "Sings The Blues" albums, there's a cohesive feel to all of these tracks that itself confirms all notions that the sessions were conducted over a very brief period of time. And what is absolutely certain is that, individually and collectively, they capture Spoon in perhaps the best voice of his career, and wholly comfortable in the company of some expert west coasters who'd doubtless backed him on numerous prior occasions. Whether the repertoire originated with B.B. King, Jody Reynolds or Hank Williams, Spoon treats it all with maximum respect and puts his own unique stamp on everything he sings here. Much as you would expect from a man whose vast body of work, for Modern and elsewhere, is among the most cherished of all blues legends.The title says it all really - Jimmy Witherspoon Sings The Blues. Doesn't he just! (From Ace Records website) |

| John Mayall And The Bluesbreakers - A Hard Road EXPLOSIVE 1967 ELECTRIC BLUES SET RESTORED TO ITS ORIGINAL MONO GLORY. 1967’s A Hard Road proved to be every bit as powerful and innovative as its predecessor, thanks in large part to Mayall’s discovery of Clapton’s equally brilliant replacement, Peter Green. A one-of-a-kind player with a highly distinctive sound, Green makes his instrumental presence felt throughout A Hard Road, while delivering compelling lead vocals on “You Don’t Love Me” and “The Same Way.” With sterling support from bassist John McVie and drummer Aynsley Dunbar, the material here features such Mayall originals as “Hit the Highway,” “Leaping Christine” and the title track, along with standout interpretations of tunes by Freddie King, Elmore James and Willie Cobbs. The legendarily haunting Green-penned instrumental “The Supernatural” previews the guitarist’s groundbreaking work with the original incarnation of Fleetwood Mac, which he and fellow Bluesbreaker John McVie would form a few months later. From the pristine U.K. mono masters, with complete original artwork and photos. Vintage Guitar Magazine - December 2011 Mayall’s Guitar-Hero School John Mayall's fabled albums with Eric Clapton, Peter Green, and Mick Taylor have been reissued before, but these discs, re-mastered from the original mono masters, sound absolutely glorious (whether on CD or 180-gram vinyl). —Pete Prown Mojo Magazine ★ ★ ★ ★ Now in glorious mono, the 1967 LP which unveiled Peter Green’s precocious blues genius. |

| John Mayall With Eric Clapton - Blues Breakers THE MOST INFLUENTIAL BRITISH BLUES ALBUM OF ALL TIME, FEATURING ERIC CLAPTON. 1966’s seminal Blues Breakers with Eric Clapton marked John Mayall’s emergence as a major recording artist, as well as his commercial breakthrough. The 12-song LP, considered by many to be the most influential British blues album of all time, marked the official introduction of Mayall’s long-running, ever-evolving combo the Bluesbreakers. Mayall shares the spotlight here with soon-to-be-superstar guitarist Eric Clapton (who quit the Yardbirds in order to pursue his blues muse with Mayall), along with future Fleetwood Mac co-founder John McVie on bass and Hughie Flint on drums. Blues Breakers with Eric Clapton is generally acknowledged as a musical milestone for Clapton; his scorching playing and over-the-top tone dominates the entire album. With the group’s punchy performances captured in straightforward style by noted producer Mike Vernon, the album offers a potent combination of Mayall originals and distinctive interpretations of songs by Ray Charles, Freddie King, Little Walter and Otis Rush. From the pristine U.K. mono masters, with complete original artwork and photos. Vintage Guitar Magazine - December 2011 Mayall’s Guitar-Hero School John Mayall's fabled albums with Eric Clapton, Peter Green, and Mick Taylor have been reissued before, but these discs, re-mastered from the original mono masters, sound absolutely glorious (whether on CD or 180-gram vinyl). —Pete Prown |

| John Mayall's Blues Breakers - Crusade THIRD BLUES BREAKERS ALBUM CEMENTS THE STATUS OF JOHN MAYALL AS BLUES-ROCK ROYALTY. 1967’s Crusade finds John Mayall welcoming another soon-to-be-famous young guitarist—18-year-old fretboard phenom Mick Taylor, who would soon become a key member of the Rolling Stones—to the Bluesbreakers fold. With John McVie on bass and Hughie Flint and Keef Hartley sharing drumming duties, Mayall tackles an adventurous 12-song set that encompasses several Mayall originals and Taylor’s instrumental showcase “Snowy Wood,” as well as numbers by such notables as Willie Dixon, Eddie Kirkland and Sonny Boy Williamson. Regarded by many fans as the final third of the influential electric-blues trilogy that began with Blues Breakers and A Hard Road, Crusade followed its predecessors into the British Top Ten, while continuing to open young American ears to the timeless power of the blues. From the pristine U.K. mono masters, with complete original artwork and photos. Vintage Guitar Magazine - December 2011 Mayall’s Guitar-Hero School John Mayall's fabled albums with Eric Clapton, Peter Green, and Mick Taylor have been reissued before, but these discs, re-mastered from the original mono masters, sound absolutely glorious (whether on CD or 180-gram vinyl). —Pete Prown |

| Johnny Otis - On The Show - The Johnny Otis Story Vol. 2 1957-1974 Johnny Otis celebrated his 90th birthday on 28 December 2011 – a true landmark for a man who has given most of his life to music. Ace is commemorating the event with the release of this collection, which together with “The Johnny Otis Story Vol 1” (CDCHD 1312) presents a concise overview of his entire career as a composer, musician, singer, producer, talent scout and songwriter. “On With The Show” lives up to its title by picking up Johnny’s story from just before where the first volume left off, and carrying it through to the mid-70s – the point at which he stopped releasing new music and began diversifying his talents into cultural, spiritual and political areas. As did other R&B pioneers, Johnny had a lean time in the early and mid-1960s, at least as far as the charts went, but a string of Capitol 45s – including ‘Castin’ My Spell’, ‘Crazy Country Hop’ and ‘Mumblin’ Mosie’, all featured here – offer as good a representation of rock’n’roll as you’ll find anywhere. Many of Johnny’s King recordings are also invigorating, as those in this package will demonstrate. It’s hardly his fault that people were buying Fabian, Frankie Avalon, the 4 Seasons and the Beatles instead. Johnny gave up recording for a few years before returning with the estimable “Cold Shot” album and the R&B/Pop hit ‘Country Girl’, both featuring the burgeoning talents of his young son Shuggie. They led to a full-on revival of the Johnny Otis Show and to further recordings for Epic, the best of which are featured here. Things began to tail off again in the mid-70s in the wake of the disco boom. The big band funk of his movie-inspired ‘Jaws’ shows that he could have competed in the disco arena, should he have chosen to, but a man with as many things going on as Johnny Otis didn’t have to compete with anyone, and he just expanded his horizons elsewhere instead. Post-‘Jaws’, Johnny has been a radio DJ, ordained minster, artist, author and many other things. Most people would be delighted to have accomplished a fraction of what he has done. Unfortunately, we can’t all be the Godfather of Rhythm & Blues, but we can all enjoy his work for many years to come thanks to the fine compilations available on Ace and elsewhere. If you don’t know Johnny Otis but want to start, this collection and the previous volume will serve as the perfect introduction to the man and his music. Tony Rounce (Ace Records) |

| Junior Wells & The Aces - LIve In Boston 1966 The recording quality is surprisingly good, especially when regarding the age of the tapes. This set delivers an intimate look behind the curtain in a small east coast club. Backed by one the greatest Chicago blues bands, ever, The Aces, this performance shows Junior in fine shape. There are a couple of well-known songs like 'That's All Right' or 'Messin' With The Kid'. Then he comes more adventurous on tunes like 'If You Gonna Leave Me' or 'I Don't Know' with extended soloing from Junior and Dave Myers. A beautiful and entertaining document presenting one of the key figures of Chicago blues, live on stage. A must for (almost) every serious blues collector! - Digipak.

| King Curtis - Wail Man Wail ! - The Best Of King Curtis 1952-61 3CD The Best Of King Curtis 1952-1961 Saxophone titan King Curtis gets the stellar showcase he deserves on Dave Penny’s latest career-defining set for Fantastic Voyage, continuing the roll which has seen the label raise the benchmark for knowledgeable, expertly-annotated compilations. Over three discs and nearly 100 tracks, Wail Man Wail! traverses the unmistakable tones of the late Curtis Ousley after he arrived from Texas in New York City in 1952, winning amateur night at Harlem’s Apollo before embarking on a recording career which took him to several seminal independent labels and bands with the likes of Lester Young and Lionel Hampton. He settled in New York for 17 years, declaring himself King Curtis and quickly making a name for roaring instrumentals and enhancing countless sessions. With the assistance of K.C. expert Roy Simmonds, Dave Penny has excelled himself in providing both beginner’s guide and record collector’s magnet, starting with Curtis’ riproaring role in the earliest days of rock ’n’ roll on CD1, collating outings under his own name for labels such as RPM, Gem, Apollo, DeLuxe, Atlantic/Atco, ABC-Paramount, Everest and Sue, also encompassing his time with Alan Freed’s rock ’n’ roll orchestra. Titles include his debut, ‘Tenor In The Sky’, ‘Honeydripper’, ‘Dynamite’ and ‘Wicky Wacky’. Discs 2 and 3 chart some of his many memorable recording sessions from between 1952 to 1957, then 1958 to 1961, respectively, names including Solomon Burke, the Willows, Roy Gaines, Neil Sedaka, Wilbert Harrison, Ruth Brown, the Coasters, Waylon Jennings, Lionel Hampton, Bobby Darin, Chuck Willis, the Avons, the Willows, Mickey & Sylvia, the Nitecaps and obscurities such as Washboard Bill. King Curtis was yet another name to fall victim to an early demise, in his case stabbed to death in 1971 after challenging two junkies using drugs outside his Manhattan apartment. Just the groin-rasping solo on ‘Jest Smoochin’’ is enough to convince anyone with a heart and soul that they’re in the presence of greatness. There are scores of similar moments on Wail Man Wail!, the latest instalment in Fantastic Voyage’s The Architects Of Rock ’N’ Roll series, and an exemplary tribute to one of the musical giants of the last century. |

| Laurel Aitken - You Got Me Rockin' / The Blue Beat Years (1960 to 1964) Immediately after landing on British soil in the summer of 1960, Jamaican singing sensation Laurel Aitken was signed by leading independent record company, Melodisc, and over the next few years he provided the ambitious concern with a slew of popular proto-Ska singles that were instrumental in establishing its newly launched Blue Beat subsidiary as the UK’s most recognisable West Indian music imprint. The very best of these historic and hugely influential recordings are gathered on this compilation - most being made available on CD for the very first time - and with original copies of these highly collectable sides almost impossible to obtain at any price, ‘You Got Me Rockin’’ provides an opportunity to enjoy almost all of Laurel’s Melodisc output for a fraction of the price of an old scratched Blue Beat single. Quite simply, this is the most essential original Ska collection of 2010! (from Pressure Drop Records website) |

| Lazy Lester - I'm A Lover Not A Fighter Unlike many of the minor figures in post-war blues who passed on before they gained any recognition, Lazy Lester's music is enjoying something of a renaissance. Since 1987, he has toured the USA and Europe and, as Kim Wilson of the Fabulous Thunderbirds says of him, he continues to be "a great human being, and he plays his ass off!" Born Leslie Johnson in Torras, Louisiana, on June 20th, 1933, Lazy Lester learned to play both harmonica and guitar and, by the age of 19, built up a local reputation on both instruments. He played with Guitar Gable and later began a long recording relationship (on harmonica) with Lightnin' Slim. Three months after his first session with Lightnin', Lester made his own first recordings - I'm Gonna Leave You Baby and Lester's Stomp - for Jay Miller in Crowley, Louisiana. Lester was to become Miller's right hand man in the studio and cut some of his best material there, including the influential I'm A Lover Not A Fighter (a staple cover for '60s white R&B bands). Lester's own favourite songs - Take Me In Your Arms, Sugar Coated Love, The Same Thing Could Happen To You and Lester's Stomp - are all on this great CD collection, a tribute to the Louisiana blues sound of the 1960s, when downhome music wasn't just 'in the alley', it was well and truly 'in the swamp'.
