112.I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama! by: Janis Joplin August 31, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £3.44
Listen to this album and then tell me that JJ couldn't move you to your soul! I think that 'Little Girl Blue' is the finest performance Janis ever put on record, it's so deep and beautiful. 'Try (Just a little bit harder)' swings and rocks like crazy. 'Maybe' features some of Janis's most magical flights into her high-register. 'Work Me, Lord' is the record to put on when you're feeling like you're having a 'Long Dark Night of the Soul', the closing moments are absolutely wrenching. JJ might have been having some of her hardest battles with drink and heroin at the time, but on this album she pulled out performances any singer would have been proud of. Rolling Stone repeatedly panned Janis throughout her brief career, then eulogised ... Read More:

115.The Original Hound Dog by: Willie Mae 'Big Mama' Thornton June 25, 1990
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £14.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £9.98 You Save: £5.01 (33%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £8.85
Willlie Mae "Big Mama" Thornton was a superb blues shouter in the tradition of Bessie Smith and Memphis Minnie. When she sang blues she didn't need to pose, like Elvis and Janis Joplin. She was the real thing. No one denies that Elvis could sing, and his version of 'Hound Dog' is exciting--but Willie Mae's version has bite, thrust, and a hard-won emotional truth. And the song only makes sense when sung by a woman; the hound dog is clearly a no-account male (dig Willie Mae's take on the line 'You can wag your tail'). The previous reviwer calls the original version 'comfy R and B.' Talk about (mental) Anarchy in the U.K.! For the record: Willie Mae Thornton died penniless in a Los Angeles rooming house in 1984, so it's ... Read More:

119.Pickin' the Blues by: Memphis Minnie July 24, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £17.99
Big Bill Broonzy said that Memphis Minnie played guitar as well as any man he'd ever heard. This CD features some instrumentals as well as some accompanied songs. Some - maybe the best ones - are duets with Minnie's (one time) husband Kansas Joe. In these the guitar playing is quite delightful, one guitar playing rhythm, the other filling some great licks and riffs. Historically Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe were important as pioneers of the new National (steel-bodied) guitar. As usual, Catfish have packaged this album nicely and got their usual good sound quality.
