McPhee and the Groundhogs' most important musical legacy, this 1996 reissue of Hooker & The Hogs has an unusual history. Tony McPhee and the Groundhogs first played with John Lee Hooker in June of 1964, when John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers were unable to fulfill a commitment to back Hooker on the final week of his British tour. The Groundhogs were deputized on the spot and played their first show with him at the Twisted Wheel in Manchester. At the end of the week, Hooker told McPhee how much he liked working with his band and agreed to use the Groundhogs as his backing band on his next visit to England. Hooker was back in May and June of 1965, and not only used them as his band but recorded this album with the Groundhogs. The band was Tony McPhee on guitar, Peter Cruickshank on bass, Dave Boorman on drums, and Tom Parker on keyboards -- some of the stuff here may have surfaced elsewhere, on the Interchord label (as Don't Want Nobody) with brass dubbed on, but this release consists of the undubbed recordings. The sound is raw, tight, and raunchy, some of the best band-backed recordings of Hooker's career. He's notoriously difficult to play support for because of the spontaneity of his work, but these guys keep up and then some, adding engaging flourishes and grace notes. Hooker is in excellent voice, and his material is as strong as any album in his output, rough, dark, and moody. The ominous, surging "Little Dreamer" is worth the price of admission all by itself. The 11 tracks with the Groundhogs are rounded out with four Hooker solo bonus tracks, which are even louder and more savage than the Groundhogs' stuff, though a little noisy (like that ever mattered with The Hook). ~Bruce Eder

John Lee Hooker - Never Get Out of the Blues Alive (1972)

Artists: John Lee Hooker
Album: Never Get Out of the Blues Alive
Label: Universal
Year: 1972
Genre: Rhythm'n Blues, Boogie
Format: mp3/ CBR 320 kbps, 44.1kHz, Stereo
Size: 79,4 Mb

Following the legendary bluesman's popular collaboration with Canned Heat, this album continues his work with mostly younger musicians and predates similar projects The Healer and Mr. Lucky by about 20 years. Van Morrison spans the gap by appearing on this 1972 release and Mr. Lucky. Elvin Bishop, Charlie Musselwhite, and even Steve Miller contribute here. Jazz violinist Michael White helps "Boogie With the Hook" take off and adds a mournful touch to the harrowing "T.B. Sheets," which is much more restrained here than on the earlier debut release by Morrison. ~Mark Allan

01 Bumble Bee Blues
02 Hit the Road
03 Country Boy
04 Boogie With the Hook
05 T.B. Sheets

Corey Harris - Mississippi to Mali (2003)

Corey Harris - Mississippi to Mali (2003)
Artists: Corey Harris
Album: Mississippi to Mali
Label: Rounder

Corey Harris is adept at combining contemporary sensibilities with traditional country blues forms in a manner so natural that the cracks and fissures between now and then never seem to show, an accomplishment he expands on Mississippi to Mali to include two continents. Again, the music flows so naturally that the bridges and welds that join the African and African-American traditions on this record are never obvious, creating a seamless, wonderful album. The tracks were recorded live in the field, an approach that strengthens the intimate feel here, and there are numerous high points, including Africanized versions of Skip James' "Cypress Grove Blues" and Robert Petway's "Catfish Blues" that open new dimensions in each song without altering its original intent and tone. A version of "Sitting on Top of the World" (called "Station Blues" here) with the Rising Star Fife and Drum Band, and featuring Sharde Thomas, the 12-year-old granddaughter of Othar Turner, is a particular delight in its ramshackle exuberance. Mississippi to Mali closes with a credible and moving take on Blind Willie Johnson's "Dark Was the Night, Cold Was the Ground" that spotlights Harris' considerable acoustic slide skills. This is another fine album from a player whose reverence for the blues doesn't keep him from instilling the form with both joy and innovation. ~Steve Leggett

Mattafix - Rhythm & Hymns (2007)

Artists: Mattafix
Album: Rhythm & Hymns
Label: Virgin
Year: 2007
Genre: Hip-Hop; R'n'B
Format: mp3
Size: 84,7 Mb

Signs of a Struggle was an artistic and financial success, so, naturally, the London boys from Mattafix had to face the "second album problem", having to live up to expectations they set themselves. The results of their second effort turned out to be mixed: Rhythm & Hymns isn't enough of a letdown to do the band in, but it's certainly nowhere as necessary as their first LP. One major drawback is that now the roots are showing. Their borrowings from reggae stylistics are much more explicit than before, and neither the absence of Jah and marijuana, nor the sweet high voice of Marlon Roudette are enough to camouflage it. Another drawback is that the quality of songwriting has taken a dip. Now there's filler to be found, and a lot of tracks in the latter half of record zip by pretty unobtrusively. "Memories of Soweto" is the kind of song that will stick in your memory once and forever, but not for its emotional quality -- just blame it on the stupidly effective lyrical hook of Sovietto ghetto. On the plus side, the band managed to retain the most important element of their sound -- this mellow-but-not-Muzak vibe of their urban reggae that's this close to depressing but turns out to be poppy and relaxing. So if you really need a new Mattafix fix, you can still get it, and you probably won't even care about this horrible pun. And some of the tracks are just plain strong -- at least the bouncy opening song and the nobly opportunistic single "Living Darfur," -- although they should have thought better than placing them in the first and second slots of the album, given the overall moderate quality of the material. ~Alexey Eremenko

Stoned Soul Picnic dates from the earlier part of Roy Ayers' career as a leader, before he delved heavily into R&B and funk fusions and instead concentrated more on soul-jazz grooves. Ayers leads a septet including such big names as pianist Herbie Hancock, altoist Gary Bartz, bassist Ron Carter, and flutist Hubert Laws. The Laura Nyro-penned title track foreshadows Ayers' later forays beyond the boundaries of pure jazz, and the group keeps the groove percolating nicely throughout, making Stoned Soul Picnic one of Ayers' better jazz-oriented outings.- by Steve Huey, AMG
