DVD - John Lee Hooker - Come And See About Me


DVD - JOHN LEE HOOKER
Come And See About Me

Come and See About Me: The Definitive DVD, the first DVD release from the John Lee Hooker Estate, is exactly what it says it is -- definitive. Along with being a tremendous primer for the novice Come and See About Me is also an extraordinary two-hours-plus of documentary footage for the fans. Highlights are a roaring Santana giving John Lee the opportunity to take center-stage on "The Healer" from 1990 and a tremendous "Boogie Chillen" recorded in 1989 with Eric Clapton and the Rolling Stones. Along the way there are performances with Foghat, Bonnie Raitt and a reverent moment with Van Morrison on "Baby Please Don't Go." The material comes from a variety of sources, but it is smoothly edited and very well paced with interview footage from daughter Zakiya Hooker, John Lee himself, as well as thoughtful commentary from Carlos Santana, Bonnie Raitt, Charlie Musselwhite, John Hammond and others. There's some nice bonus material including an extensive scrolling discography, additional interview footage from Hooker and his daughter, and a beautiful black and white six-page booklet that comes with the disc. Audio heard behind the discography and menu is the title track of this DVD, "Come and See About Me," from the lost 1949 tapes Jack O' Diamonds, a CD issued simultaneously with this package.

Etta James - Live From San Francisco


ETTA JAMES
Live From San francisco

Recorded live at the Boarding House, San Francisco, California in March, 1981



Commercially, the 1970s weren't nearly as kind to Etta James as the 1950s and '60s had been. The sleekness that characterized Northern "uptown" soul and disco didn't appeal to the big-voiced belter, who stuck to her guns and continued to embrace the type of gritty, hard-hitting Southern soul and down-home blues that had earned her so devoted a following. Though absent from Black radio playlists, she had no problem attracting enthusiastic live audiences. At 41, James sounds like she's very much in her prime on this live recording from 1981. Whether tearing into an Otis Redding medley, her hit "Tell Mama" or Chicago blues staples like Willie Dixon's "I Just Want to Make Love to You" and Jimmy Reed's "Baby, What You Want Me to Do," the earthy singer clearly excels by sticking with what she does best. One of the CD's most pleasant surprises is a version of the Eagles' "Take It to the Limit," which works remarkably well in an R&B setting.

Floyd Mc Daniel & Erwin Helfer - A Hundred Years From Today...


FLOYD MCDANIELD & ERIC HELFER
A Hundred Years From Today...

Known for blues-drenched jazz and jazz-drenched blues, Floyd McDaniel (1915-1995) was a part of the Chicago scene for most of his 80 years. The singer-guitarist was born in Athens, AL but spent much of his life in the Windy City, which he moved to when he was 15 in 1930. As a teenager, McDaniel played and sang the blues on the streets of Chicago, and in 1933, he joined a washboard band called the Rhythm Rascals. In the early '40s, McDaniel learned to play the electric guitar and joined the Four Blazes, a jump blues combo that later became the Five Blazes and recorded for Aristocrat in 1947 and United Artists in 1952-53. McDaniel was involved in a variety of activities, including operating a tavern on Chicago's South Side in the 1950s and 1960s and playing with a version of the Ink Spots in the 1970s. In the 1980s, McDaniel joined forces with Dave Clark, a veteran tenor saxophonist who ended up joining McDaniel's final group, the Blues Swingers. McDaniel, who recorded for Delmark in the 1990s, died in Chicago on July 23, 1995--only two days after his 80th birthday.

Erwin Helfer (1936) was introduced to piano blues as a young teenager growing up in Chicago in the early '50s, the heyday of the city's blues clubs and the fortunes of labels such as Chess Records. A native of Chicago's south side, he haunted the clubs as a boy, but he also took the time to attend school and completed college with a degree in music, which he followed by spending three years in New Orleans in the late '50s, where he played jazz. Among the musicians who influenced him most were Jimmy Yancey, Albert Ammons, Pete Johnson, and Speckled Red, and Helfer counted himself a good friend of guitarist Big Joe Williams. Helfer became a performer and teacher, touring Europe as a blues pianist and also training college students in Chicago throughout the 1970s. His style is equally adaptable to blues and jazz.
