Review
I Am the Blues Lead Guitarist, hosted by Oscar Jordan, provides an opportunity for all you burgeoning lead players to blow your pentatonic wad all over the place. The surprisingly robust DVD features eight different tracks in a variety of different styles to jam along to (slo blues, shuffle, rockin blues and even a bit of a Latin groove), and each track is available in both a traditional song form and as a looped version if you feel like playing until your fingers bleed. The band itself is tight, with Oscar and company laying down rock solid grooves to play over. For players using the DVD to improve their ensemble skills, they’ll appreciate the use of visual cues to signal changes in the track, and much like band practice, you’ll improve with each repetition. It really beats a computerized backing track any day. There s also a raft of extra features on the disc… the concept of the DVD is a novel and useful one. Now you don’t need to convince your friends t (more…)

These 17 tunes come from King’s most fertile period, his 1966-68 tenure at Memphis’s Stax Records. Stax chief Jim Stewart had been reluctant to sign blues artists because he felt straight blues wouldn’t mesh with Stax’s patented Memphis soul. Ironically, the fusion of King’s sharp guitar wails with the dynamic rhythms of Booker T. & the MGs–the Stax house band–was what set King apart from other bluesmen. The unique blend produced classic after classic: Booker T. Jones’ rolling piano propels “Laundromat Blues.” Al Jackson’s drum shuffle supports “Crosscut Saw.” The driving horns of Andrew Love, Wayne Jackson, and Joe Arnold accent “Born Under a Bad Sign.” King’s ripe and mellow vocals are a perfect match for the soul-drenched music while his dramatic string bends leap out. –Marc Greilsamer
