Blues for Red Sun

Blues for Red Sun Review



Blues for the Red Sun is the finest album by short-lived rock gods Kyuss. With guitars tuned way down and amps turned way up, Kyuss'sdeafening assault switches from light to hammering in a blink on some tracks ("Thumb," "Thong Song"), while slowly building on others ("Freedom Run"). They achieve full rock bliss when they're relentless. By updating Black Sabbath from the perspective of psychedelic jammers out of the California desert, Kyuss established the blueprint for the entire stoner rock movement with this 1992 release. Even its makers never matched it, let alone beat it. --Robert Burrow

Guilty

Guilty Review



The third album from the best selling vocal group that was recorded in Copenhagen, Norway, London and Los Angeles. Some of the biggest producers have contributed here: Matt Rowe, Deekay, Ash & Martin, Steve Robson, Stargate & Supaflyas. The end result is Blue's strongest album to date, reaching a new level of maturity in their sound, vocal abilities and songwriting skills. Of special note is the remake of the Stevie Wonder classic "Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I'm Yours) that was recorded in L.A. with the master himself and nu-soul diva Angie Stone. Includes the bonus track "Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word".

Loud As Feathers

Loud As Feathers Review



Spy Glass Blue returns with Louder As Feathers, once again waving their intellectual and spiritual lyrical flag to the rhythms of modern-alternative music. The hook-laden, impassioned songs on this project are far and away their most engaging and enjoyable yet, as Allan Aguirre's voice swoops and soars above their harmonic rock.

Whole Lotta Blues: Songs of Led Zeppelin

Whole Lotta Blues: Songs of Led Zeppelin Review



Coming from the people who brought you the excellent Blues Power: Songs of Eric Clapton, it's no surprise that this tribute (oops, the CD cover says, "This Ain't No Tribute," sorry) features a lot of the same musicians. This anthology is likely to upset purists, who may not actually want a Delta-style "When the Levee Breaks" (courtesy of Magic Slim), but check out that harp work from James Cotton on the more upbeat, Chicago version! And Alvin "Youngblood" Hart's take on "Heartbreaker" simply must be heard to be believed; ditto for what Chris Thomas King does with "Hey Hey What Can I Do." Meanwhile, "Rock 'n' Roll" proves that Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown really can do whatever he wants and get away with it. As was said before, Whole Lotta Blues will annoy Zeppelin purists. But blues fans oughta love it. --Genevieve Williams

Blues Routes: Heroes & Tricksters

Blues Routes: Heroes & Tricksters Review



Blues Routes is a resonant almanac of blues styles and blues-related music and musicians including: Memphis barrelhouse and Harlem parlor piano players; blues guitarists from the Delta and Piedmont, San Francisco and Chicago; Kansas City and New Orleans jazz masters; hambone call-and-response and Mardi Gras Indian chants; Texas jump blues and Louisiana Creole zydeco; minstrel and jazz banjomen; street go-go bucket-drummers and railroad track-lining gandy dancers. In this fin de siècle collection, the diversity of American blues and blues-influenced styles and the unity of their African ancestral heartbeats can be heard in great performances recorded live at the influential Folk Masters concert and radio series.
