Continuum

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Blues Rock
by: John Mayer

April 08, 2008
If you are a fan of John Mayer's, his 3rd album will not disappoint. Less
poppy; it is more mellow, jazzy and relaxing than his ealier work. His style here...a combination of poetic lyrics and breathy heart-felt singing is a bit reminiscent of female singer-songwritersNelly Furtado and Arrica Rose. My favorite track is "Vultures" and its fabulous harmonies.

Live from Nowhere in Particular

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Blues Rock
by: Joe Bonamassa

August 19, 2008
Nowhere on Earth are you going to find a better live album produced this Centry. Joe has been tearing up stages for nearly 20 years. This set is indicative of where he is at at this particular time in his career. Even though this recording what pieced together from a few different shows recorded in late 2007 it plays seemlessly.

Having seen Joe numerous times I at first thought the crowd seemed a little distant. Joe's crowds can get pretty vocal at times. With the crowd noise kept to a minimum it doesn't seem to interfere with the moments captured here.

The production of this live opus was handled by none other than Kevin Shirley most noted for recent work remastering the Led Zepelin DVD How The West Was Won. Kevin "Caveman" ... Read More:

Bad for You Baby

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Blues Rock
by: Gary Moore

October 07, 2008
..for me not the real Gary Moore. For me the Gary Moore of the 80's was virtually untouchable. The man played with a fire and conviction like no other and his guitar chops were out of this world. Killer tone and peerless playing. THAT Gary Moore is easily one of my favorite top 3 guitar players. I didn't mind much when he started concentrating full time on blues releases because his playing has always been blues-based, just like so many other rock greats. I love Still Got The Blues and After Hours but I kind of got tired of Gary in that format and longed for him to return to his hard rock ways.

To the total disappointment of many that will never happen. Gary has turned his back on those days and appears to be quite dismissive of that work. ... Read More:

The Ry Cooder Anthology: The UFO Has Landed [2 CD]

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Blues Rock
by: Ry Cooder

October 28, 2008
Ry Cooder has been around a long time and has released many albums/c d's,and contributed as a session man and producer.His music is varied and Ry has explored many different styles and tastes.He was even courted by the Rolling Stones as a replacement in the early seventies....So with that written this anthology/overview is essential listening and cuts to the best of his work.In my opinion many of his releases were a mixed bag and he often got lost in what direction he was aiming for to capture the listener.Case in point were his last two releases which I considered poor...."BUT" this anthology is very good and Ry's signature slide guitar rifts and catchy hooks are worth every penny!

Experience Hendrix: The Best of Jimi Hendrix

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Blues Rock
by: Jimi Hendrix

November 03, 1998
There are older Jimi Hendrix collections out there, like Smash Hits - but don't bother with them. This is the one to get. Like most say, this one really packages the essential hits.

My only quibble about Hendrix's catalogue is that he came in an era where the audio recording technology available to him wasn't as sonically superb (only the Beatles would exceed all peers)...so it's a little rough here and there but the man's brilliance shines through. Remastering has no doubt improved what was there, but it hasn't done wonders to enhance the mixes. Regardless, there was really only one Hendrix and his influence on those around him and those who came after was indelible. Experience Hendrix!

The Blues Rolls On

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Blues Rock
by: Elvin Bishop

September 02, 2008
I've been a blues fan for 30 years now and I'm always on the lookout for any band that plays fresh tunes and keeps the jams short and tight. A welcome record for anyone sick and tired of hearing the Chess songbook over and over and again.

Tight, soulful, and unique. Notables include the long forgotten Roy Milton gem "Keep a dollar in your pocket" and Junior Wells' "I found out." Elvin's next record should be more hidden gems like these. He's got to know tons of other songs like these Roy Milton and minor Junior Wells tunes just sitting around. T-bone Walker comes to mind...

Lynyrd Skynyrd - All Time Greatest Hits

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Blues Rock
by: Lynyrd Skynyrd

March 14, 2000
I do like Lynard Skynard, and it was a greatest hits, so I bought it. The only thing is that the song "Black Betty" wasn't on that CD. Anything else is fair game.
