Grant Street

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Live Albums
by: Sonny Landreth

January 25, 2005
It should be said that Sonny Landreth is blindingly fast on guitar. Yet, after trying to like this album for more than a week, I just do not. And the reason is that my ears detect no soul at all in his playing. I am reminded of several other virtuoso guitarists (Walter Trout and Johnny Winter most specifically) who make an awful lot of noise, but very little listenable music. I am also missing entirely the Blues aspect of this recording. It's rock-and-roll. A little more attention to melody and continuity, and less fret-finger acrobatics, would help a lot.

Live at the Regal

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Live Albums
by: B.B. King

July 29, 1997
So they finally went back and remastered the muddy audio on this classic album! The new sound is fantastic -- clear as a bell. Sadly, while the audio was being cleaned up, no one bothered to clean up the very, very sloppy edits (especially in the second half), such as when the second intro of B.B. (why two separate intros, anyway?) gets abruptly chopped off and goes right into a song that from the background crowd noise came at some other point in the show. If you're going to do a live album, the tracks should at least create the illusion of a live show, especially in this digital era when fade-outs and fade-ins are no longer used, and audience applause can be smoothly edited in to create seamless transitions!

The performance is ... Read More:

Live Bootleg Series, Vol. 1

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Live Albums
by: Johnny Winter

October 09, 2007
This "album" is highly recommended! This is another must-have for any fan of Johnny Winter or blazing guitar playing. The band's music overcomes any shortcomings in the sound quality. (Volume 1 is a better recording, but volume 2 may have more innovative playing.) After all, these are live recordings, from an era before sophisticated remote music equipment. Don't let the warts spoil a fantastic musical experience. Sit back (if you can) and enjoy! The licks aren't as polished (occasionally) as his studio albums, but the improvisation is fantastic. This group puts out an amazing sound for three members.

Live in Cook County Jail

BB King had already recorded over 300 songs when this album was recorded. Prime arrangements of some standards and a few lesser known tunes. If you've never seen him live, this is close to it.

Live at Carnegie Hall

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Live Albums
by: Stevie Ray Vaughan

July 29, 1997
Live At Carnegie Hall was recorded on October 4, 1984 (one day after Stevie's thirtieth birthday), and is a highlight of Stevie's early days with his band, Double Trouble. There are also guest appearances by John Hammond, Jimmie Vaughan, Dr. John, vocalist Angela Strehli (who sings an enthusiastic lead vocal on C.O.D.), and the Roomful Of Blues horn section. The performance is an intimate, but rousing, blues celebration of Stevie's birthday. At the end of the night, Stevie says, "Thank you very much for making this my best birthday ever...forever!". Musically, you couldn't ask for better. The sound and production are smart, and the performances are clean and inspired (that's an understatement on some of the songs!). The absolute best recording ever ... Read More:

Live Adventures Of Michael Bloomfield & Al Kooper

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Live Albums
by: Mike Bloomfield

March 11, 1997
Having loved the studio Super Session album, I of course had to immediately run out and buy the vinyl of this live version back in 1968. Being at the time, a 19 year old college kid in love with the blues, the double album took most of my money ($6?). But forty years later, I still love this totally unpolished and raw performance beginning with Bloomfield's heavily impaired introduction to the dropping of his guitar at the end. This album is definitely not for everyone. If you're looking for Steely Dan production values, you'll hate it. But if you love raw, spontanious, live, 60's rock-blues that you can pull out your guitar and play along with, treat yourself to a rare moment in time when Johnson was in office and Woodstock was still 9 months away.
