Customer Reviews:

There Were 5 Essential Butterfield Albums, Now Make It 6. (and now 3 of them are must haves)........2007-04-01

This album is a rare, and precious gem that fits quite comfortably between the first album, and East-West. The people at Elektra discovered that sometimes true gold can be found without digging in a gold mine. And they struck real gold, not fools gold. And on the list of gems are songs like Spoonful, Everything's Gonna Be Alright (which I haven't heard since the release of Woodstock 2), Mellow Down Easy (the only repeat out of 19 songs), Rock Me, and Poor Boy. This is not only to be added to the Essentials list, but the top 2 must haves have now become three.

I love this, almost as much as their first one.......2007-01-05

Not enough Bloomfield guitar, but his keyboard playing fits in well. Butterfield and drummer Sam Lay are on fire, while Elvin and Jerome do a fine job, as usual.

THe Original Lost Elektra Sessions.......2006-11-10

Beautiful archival music from the masters of seminal white electric blues Paul Butterfield and Mike Bloomfield.

A great blues recording........2006-01-03

I have heard the white vs. black bluesman argument for years and years. I've always felt that it isn't the color of the skin that's important when it comes to the music but rather the soul of the musician. Given that, this is a great blues album by a band of soulful bluesmen. Butterfields harp is as hot as ever and the guitars of Bloomfield and Bishop are the epitome of the blues. The Paul Butterfield Blues Band were one of the greatest blues bands ever assembled and this recording is evidence of that fact. My only question is how this music has gone unheard for all of these years?

Why was this music scrapped?!.......2003-10-05

Even though this page only lists five tracks, "The Original Lost Electra Sessions" is not an EP, it's a 19-track CD.

All but one of these 19 tracks were recorded in December, 1964, as Paul Butterfield's projected first LP, but the results were (inexplicably) scrapped and replaced by the band's official self-titled debut, cut a few months later.

With both Sam Lay, Elvin Bishop and Mike Bloomfield already onboard, these sessions are very similar in feel to the Paul Butterfield Blues Band's first album. It's perhaps a little bit rawer in production and performance, but not really worse or different than what ended up on the actual debut LP.

Dedicated primarily to electric Chicago blues standards, it opens with a somewhat rushed take on "Good Morning Little Schoolgirl", followed by a great "Just To Be With You" with some sublime harp playing by Paul Butterfield.

Butterfield also does a pretty good Sonny Boy Williamson (II) on a faithful rendition of "Help Me", and there are many more highlights, including an excellent rendition of the classic blues shuffle "Poor Boy", a slow, smouldering "It Hurts Me Too", an alternate version of the fine original "Our Love Is Drifting", a great, swinging "Take Me Back Baby", Jimmy Rogers' "That's All Right", and yet another Tampa Red-tune, "Love Her With A Feeling".
The band also lay down a really good version of Jimmy Oden's "Goin' Down Slow", and the originals "Lovin' Cup" and the fiery instrumental "Nut Popper #1" are excellent.

Virtually everything here is worth a listen, actually. It's not highly original, but The Paul Butterfield Blues Band's versions of these classic Chicago blues tunes are among the best and most convincing blues music ever waxed by a (primarily) white blues band. And any serious blues guitar lover will want to hear Mike Bloomfield's supremely tasty, economical playing.

Paul Butterfield fans will find this album well worth acquiring, as most of the selections were never officially recorded by the band's original lineup.
Great, classic blues.

Album Description

Although Ruby Braff and Dave McKenna played together on several occasions during their long careers, these two sessions best represent their collective legacy for a number of reasons. It must be said that their recorded collaborations were not as abundant as one might expect. Their two initial sessions together were as sidemen for other musicians: a 1955 date as part of the Benny Goodman septet, and a February 1956 session backing singer Milli Vernon's recording debut. These dates were followed by the two incredible sessions included here. After that, the only known recordings of the Hackett-McKenna partnership are a 1961 live recording at Eddie Condon's with Bobby Hackett and Peanuts Hucko, and two 1991-93 double albums with a band including tenor saxophonist Scott Hamilton. The sessions featured on this edition are, thus, their only true small group quartet/quintet) recordings and the only instrumental sessions they made at the peak of their careers, in which both musicians can be considered, in a way, session leaders. Gambit. 2006.

This is an interesting cd for L.A. Guns fans. It's all demo versions of the songs that ended up on the first record and several more that did not make it onto that record. The sound quality is pretty good and some of the tracks are significantly different than what ended up on their self titled debut. It's definitely worth buying.

Album Description

The incendiary soul / jazz / funk of The Bo-Keys' "The Royal Sessions" is a hard-hitting and authentic modern take on Memphis' original soul-stew sound - a mixture of original instrumental and vocal features that fuse R&B fundamentals with elements of modern hip-hop.

An all-star section of Stax sidemen - Ronnie Williams (The Bar-Kays, David Porter) on Hammond B-3 organ, drummer Willie Hall (The Bar-Kays, the Blues Brothers), and Charles "Skip" Pitts (Isaac Hayes, Al Green) on wah-wah guitar - joins garage rock prodigy Scott Bomar (Impala) on bass to lay down deep funk grooves for a mighty horn section consisting of Memphis' finest young players.

Recorded and mixed at Willie Mitchell's (Hi Records, Al Green) Royal Studios, The Royal Sessions is steeped in the Memphis tradition. But it's much more than an homage: it's the sound of Memphis now - familiar, fresh, and unquestionably fantastic.

Customer Reviews:

Review: BoKey's Royal Sessions.......2007-01-04

Good CD with good musicians. If you like blues, jazz, or both -- you'll like this CD. The title track is probably the best.

Musical Comfort Food.......2005-01-15

The Bo-Keys are an all-instrumental group who specialize in funky southern soul. Guitarist Skipp Pitts and Drummer Willie Hall are both veterans of the legendary Stax records, the label which called itself "Soulsville USA." "The Royal Sessions" channels the spirit of Memphis and Muscle Shoals; each track is infused with a pulsating rhythm section and down-home horn charts.

The Bo Keys are at their best when they keep it simple; tunes like "Coming Home Baby" and "Deuce and a Quarter" feature soulful organ and horns over a fatback rhythm groove. The ballad "I Remember Stax"- which features some beautiful guitar work by Skip Pitts- is one of the disc's highpoints. While most of the tracks on "The Royal Sessions" are solid performances, there are a few weak-points. A decent performance of the Jimmy Smith workhorse "Back at the Chicken Shack" is marred by a silly vocal track featuring a Wolfman Jack sound-alike babbling about hot sauce or ribs or something. It's the kind of gimmick that might impress House of Blues patrons, but serious music fans will probably find themselves reaching for the "skip" button on their CD player. "My Country Loves Me", another tune with a spoken vocal track, sounds like an attempt at Gil Scot-Heron style political commentary that never quite coheres.

"The Royal Sessions" is the musical equivalent of comfort food; while not necessarily original or innovative, it's hot, greasy and sure to bring a smile.

HYPE.......2004-08-30

i bought this cd recently after i'd read a few favorable reviews, the memphis gunslingers involvment, etc. the cd is okay, but doesn't live up to all the hype. here's a few things: the rap/spoken vocal stuff is really really awful. the jimmy smith cover song is unlistenable. their originals are not that hot. overall, regardless of the personnel, it's not essential. if you are already hip to this genre of music, this cd is no big deal. i already used my copy for trade credit at my local cd store. if you are looking for a new band playing this type of music, try a cd by "the dipolmats of solid sound" - they are a current 60's soul/instrumental quartet who absolutely bury the bo-keys.

You need this CD.......2004-07-09

My sister sent me this CD for my recent birthday. I'm glad she did. This is a nasty, greasy mix of full-on funk, R&B, and soul ripped out by some masters in Memphis. These cats played with Isaac Hayes, Booker T and the M.G.'s, and sat in on Stax sessions. They throw down the jams live to tape and we get to listen in. If you want some music that feels like late 60s music updated for today - this is your stuff. Daddy like. Smoke up some ribs and spin this ASAP.

The NEW Kings of Memphis!.......2004-06-16

It's awful nice when you find a record label you can trust to deliver something great or at the very least interesting. Memphis' Yellow Dog Records is just that. Home to one of the best blues artists of the last couple years Mark Lemhouse as well as The Bluff City Backsliders Yellow Dog now brings us in it's on going tradition of great AND interesting Memphis' own new instumental soulfunk masters The Bo-Keys and their new release The Royal Sessions. I would say first release but they did back up the legendary Rev.Al Green on his gorgeous return to tip-top pop form I Can't Stop. There's been some talk about the Bo-Keys using words like revival,revisionism,and the dreaded retro but that plain don't get it. Yeah, Ike Hayes begat Booker T begat The Bar-Kays begat the Bo-Keys or somethingerother and yeah, it was recorded at the amazing Willie Mitchell's Royal Studio (home to Rev. Green's classic recordings) but that's just a pinch of the spice in the recipe for this new and greasier Memphis stew and supa summer evening BBQ. This is The New Sound of Memphis baby. This is a sharp-dressed and sweatin' at midnight popped crease hangin' loose broke down no need to fix it glide in yr slide dip in yr hip stroll from uptown to straight DOWNtown freshness. I know you already read the Who's WHO on this but to refresh howsabout Skip Pitts (you know his wahwah built the Theme from Shaft)on guitar bobbin' and stingin' like a summer picnic bee. Back that up with keyboard maestro Ronnie Williams (that's him on Rufus Thomas' Do The Funky Chicken) on the B3 organ then back that up with Bar-Kays drummer Willie Hall keepin' it slapped down. Don't forget former garage band bassist and Bo-Keys band leader Scott Bomer drivin' the bottom and trumpeter Marc Franklin and sax man Jim Spake shinin' like new chrome dubs and this Caprice classic is swangin' with funky junque in the trunk to spare. Fans of the old skool Stax/Volt/Atlantic/Motown sound and fans of new soul kool bands like Mofro get yr wallets out now. The Bo-Keys are the Feel Funky hit of the summers to come!

Customer Reviews:

"0" stars should be an option. .......2006-04-26

EZ girls' score is profoundly awful.
The music from the first season was amazing and it introduced me to a lot of great new artists (Kinnie Starr and Fiest are among the best). So what happened? Where did all the talent go? The music has become laughable...
The saving grace from the second season is the commentary on the "lez boat" episode that was done by the actresses who play Shane, Dana and Alice.
During the theme song, Leisha sings "laughing, crying, breathing, f**king, make this song stop really sucking."
Ilene Chaiken and Betty should really listen to her.
When the actors are tearing apart the music, you know it's gotta be bad...

Simply horrible.......2006-01-10

The music is simply awful. I enjoyed the CD from the first season (as well as the opening digital theme) and am still reeling from the granola chomping, politically correct, old fashioned and weird theme song from Season 2. NOT hot, NOT cool, NOT fun to listen to. Elizabeth Ziff's negative influence has really hung a job on the musical score- I am left pondering WHY Showtime and Ilene Chaiken have let her run wild with this glob of amateurish and self indulgent effort.

If only the music was good.......2005-12-18

Such a great show, if only the second season had music to match.

I had my doubts..........2005-06-06

Like many, my original reaction to the new theme song and the radically different score wasn't a positive one at first. As a matter of fact, by the end of the season and up until I got the CD, I was still quite sceptical about it. I was a fool.

I think the reason people have reacted so strongly to ezgirl's unique compositions is exactly that, the fact that they are unique. I love movie and tv scores but quite often, they all resemble each other. ezgirl has been bold enough to do things a little bit differently, much in the same way that "the L word" is different than other shows, and it really works. The theme song, which is actually very catchy, is predominant here with many different versions of it (including the very authentic sounding Klezmer version in Yiddish and the sexy Spanish and French versions - all of which sound very different). ezgirl has combined live instruments (something quite unusual in tv scoring) and funky synthetic sounds as well as samples from the show, her own voice and breath, and there are some surprising contributions by accomplished musicians in their own right (including Jane Siberry).

The originality of this project shows just how much ezgirl has put her heart and soul in this to produce a truly artistic take on television scoring. If I had only one wish, it would be that Ilene Chaiken had recruited her from the start of the show.

Big fan of the show, this "music" ruins it.......2005-05-27

This is an excellent TV show that was hijacked this season by ezgirl (a.k.a. one of the hairy members of BETTY). This cd is her attempt to make creative background music, but really it is just endless ridiculous versions of the awful new theme song of the show. The theme song is incredibly cheesy, and so are the subsequent versions of it. The five star reviews here are probably left by ezgirl, since she is so proud of herself.

The London Arrangements Open a New Chapter.......2007-04-05

As nearly a life-long historian and collector of the ODJB, it's good to see that the band continued to develop its book beyond what it recorded for RCA in the states. Added to the earlier, pioneering sides were some popular songs and some new tunes that the ODJB helped make popular. The band was probably at its peak in London and drummer Tony Sparbaro told me that England really "dug our jazz", hence, the resurgence of trad jazz with Kenny Ball, Chris Barber, and Monty Sunshine and others in England.

Let Benny be Benny.......2006-01-15

If you want to savor the musicianship of the greatest clarinet player of the 20th century your best bet is by listening to his work in small combos. Goodman was a superb band-leader but his own skills were often submerged in his big orchestra. Here, surrounded by a few men every bit as skillful as Goodman himself - Teddy Wilson, Gene Krupa and Lionel Hampton - there's no one who can touch him. The only poor efforts are "All My Life" and "Too Good to Be True" with vocals by Helen Ward, which show how a bad song can hog-tie even the biggest talents.

Well Produced, Well Compiled Gem.......2005-04-23

It's easy to simply float along on the wonderful nostalgia of these tunes (and don't get me wrong -- that's fun too!). However, these songs are filled with incredible musicianship and it's difficult to remember that Goodman was controversial in his day. These tracks are impeccable in their reproduction and quality. In addition, the sheer number of tracks on the disk is phenomenal. I recommend this without hesitation.

Brilliant Performances.......2001-12-21

I am not a fan of jazz. But the brilliant performances on this CD surpass any genre. It is simply great music wonderfully played. The atmosphere of the songs perfectly suggests the 1930s. If you listen to this CD, you will immediately understand why Benny Goodman, Teddy Wilson, Lionel Hampton and Gene Krupa are legends. The sound quality of the CD is excellent considering the music was recorded in the 1930s. I highly recommend this CD to anyone who loves music.

Groundbreaking, Timeless Small-Group Jazz.......2001-10-29

I just love people who review an album they haven't listened to. Of course the samples don't sound good. They're just there to give you an idea of the music, and this music is some of the best small-group jazz ever.
Each of the players is a jazz legend in his own right. Benny Goodman, Teddy Wilson, Gene Krupa and Lionel Hampton. Far from being prima donnas, they had incredible chemistry, each feeding the other and producing joyful, swinging music that puts a grin on your face.

Historically, this group is important, as it was the first to break the color barrier. Goodman wasn't initially very keen on performing live with an integrated group, but some persuasion and the knowledge that they were just too darn good to stay in the studio led to his capitulation.
Do yourself a favor and buy what will become one of your favorite CDs.

Static on recording.......2001-04-17

I would like to buy this CD, but the samples I listened to did not seem very clear - there was a lot of skipping and static in the background. So I will have to pass.

Album Description

This outstanding release contains all of baker's earliest sessions as a vocalist, taken from five different Los Angeles studio dates between October 1953 and July 1956. Quite possibly the most comprehensive collection we've ever seen of Chet Baker's legendary vocal work for Pacific Jazz in the 50s. Titles include 'My Funny Valentine', 'But Not For Me', 'Just Friends', 'Daybreak', 'My Ideal', 'This Is Always', 'My Buddy', 'I Fall In Love Too Easily', 'Look For The Silver Lining', and 'I Get Along Without You Very Well'. These sets showcase the delightful innocence and naivety of Baker's vocal sound during his early twenties, at the onset of his professional career, prior to the intense physical wear and tear and emotional turmoil caused by (or exacerbated by) a long term drug habit. Twenty of the twentyfour tracks included here feature Baker in a quartet setting with pianist Russ Freeman and a variety of bassists (Carson Smith, Joe Mondragon, Jimmy Bond) and drummers (Bob Neel, Shelly Manne, Peter Littman, Lawrence Marable). The CD's final four songs, included here as bonus tracks, feature Baker and Freeman in a quartet setting with an overdubbed string section that also boasted flautist Bud Shank and harpist Corky Hale.Gambit. 2006.
