The foundation.......2007-02-16
King Tim III by the Fatback Band was actually the first rap record (it beat out the better known Rappers Delight by about a month in late 1979). This is also one of the funkiest records of all time, musically based on the Godfather's "There Was a Time"
"The Adventures of Superrhymes" by Jimmy Spicer (who incidentally was the first rapper I ever saw perform-at a skating rink in Charleston in late 1979) is an underrated classic of syncopated storytelling, beating out Slick Rick by about five years. This is a funky narrative of Dracula and Aladdin and their trip to a nightclub. Very imaginative. Only problem is that this is a shorter version of the original. The same is true of the Funky 4+1 more's beloved classic "Rappin and Rockin The House."
"We Rap More Mellow" by the "Younger Generation" is actually the first record by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, containing most of the same lyrics as their better known "Superrappin." "Zulu Nation Throwdown" does not actually feature Afrika Bambaata on vocals (just his group the Cosmic Force), but its jivey, melodic chanting is the sort of thing that made this generation of hip hop appeal to teenagers of the era.
These records were greatly underpromoted at the time, since most people outside of Black east-coast teens dismissed this stuff as a passing fad, but at least you can see what most people were missing that should have been hits.

Back to the Roots.......2006-02-22
With these old time blues legends, you really hear the pain in their voices. They don't just sing the blues, they lived the blues. Blind Willie Johnson and Bessie Smith will just make you want to hang your head and cry, while Bo Carter and Blind Boy Fuller will make it all better. If you're a traditionalist and want to hear blues at the core of its foundation, this cd is for you.
A solid primer.......2004-01-10
And "Lord I Just Can't Keep From Crying" by Blind Willie Johnson gets better with each play.
Great Introduction to the Blues.......2002-02-24
The collection starts off with Bessie Smith's 1925 recording of "St. Louis Blues," arguably the most famous blues recording of the early period. In that song Smith's powerful vocals are almost overshadowed by Louis Armstrong's cornet playing. The song was so popular at the time that it was used as the central part of "St. Louis Blues," Smith's only film appearance.
Other highlights in this twenty song collection include Robert Johnson's "Stop Breakin'Down Blues." For those not familiar with Johnson are in for a treat on this one. His unique emotional style is evident here in this story of betrayal.
Memphis Minnie, arguably one of the best blues guitarists of all-time is represented here in "Nothin' in Ramblin'." Despite being a woman, the subject matter about a woman on the road is very usual for the pre-feminist era. Memphis Minnie truly deserves to ranked with the best in the blues.
Bukka White's "Fixin' to Die Blues" is another gem. This gospel-tinged song although featured only vocals, guitar and washboard makes you want to tap your feet. It really rocks.
"Don't You Leave Me Here" by Big Joe Williams is probably the most contemporary of the songs in this collection in terms of the sound. It's a good example of early "urban blues" style popularized by the likes of Bobby Blue Bland and others.
Although it was recorded in 1965, "Death Letter" by Son House fits nicely in this collection. Featuring House accompanied by his own guitar, "Death Letter" is a great "gut bucket" blues. A gospel influence is also evident here.
What's also great about this collection is the variety of voices. Mississippi John Hurt on "Ain't No Tellin'" has a very soothing voice which compliments his soft guitar playing. Meanwhile, Blind Willie Johnson is rough and raw on "Lord, I Can't Keep from Cryin'."
As you can see this is only a sampling of this twenty song set. It also includes previously unreleased tracks by Leadbelly, Peetie Wheatstraw, and Lonnie Johnson.
If you like the blues, you'll love this collection. Since the blues influenced rock and soul, fans of those music genres should also appreciate this great music as well. If anything, check out the CD for the stories. There are some great stories here.
