See the Light

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Blues
by: The Jeff Healey Band

October 25, 1990
The first Jeff Healey album I heard was Mess of Blues which I enjoyed. This album is pretty good rock but not the kind of blues Healey was known for.

An Anthology

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Blues
by: Duane Allman

October 25, 1990
I finally understand the fuzz about Duane. I have only occasionally heard his guitar playing on different albums - but never owned an album myself. I have 300+ blues albums with all of the greats Howlin, Muddy, Buddy, the Kings, T-Bone among many others. I feel so bad for never really digging into Duane until now. He's playing is fantastic and this album is a sure treat. I am happy happy happy :o)

Grant Street

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Blues
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.

Lie to Me

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Blues
by: Jonny Lang

January 28, 1997
I'm not thrilled by this album. I like Lang's bluesy renditions but I would have liked a few more cuts that have the energy of the title song.

This DVD is a mostly a collection of music videos that you might see on MTV.

Deadwood: Music From HBO Original Series

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Blues
by: Various Artists

February 08, 2005
I was referred to this soundtrack by a friend who knew I was looking for obscure, old-timey American music. Though I'm not a fan of "Deadwood", some of the music was quite fetching. Also included on this soundtrack are sound clips from the series which, while they are quite vulgar, are also very humorous to me, even out of context. I'm sure "Deadwood" enthusiasts would love this album, and fans of old-timey American music should be satisfied as well.

Lady Day: The Best of Billie Holiday

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Blues
by: Billie Holiday

October 02, 2001
This is not a good demonstration of Billie Holliday. First, too many songs squeezed into each side. Sound not good. For me, it was a waste of money. One of her best is the Billie Holiday-Lester Young CD " a musical romance"

Blues on the Bayou

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Blues
by: B.B. King

October 20, 1998
I lived the 90's, this is the BEST and FEW ( IF any ), albums made that a FAMILY ( kids and adults ) could listen to. This is the best album of the 90's. BB KING is 10 times better now then in the 50's. And the work he is putting out is 10 times better then any-band on earth. WHY, don't no. The man tries. Other bands and singers......just don't care. You don't have to like BLUES, to love this album. THAT's BB KING's SECRET.
