Description

I Couldn't Leave Well Enough Alone, And The Blues Done Swallowed Me Whole!
Two More Sizzling Blues Tracks From The Awe-Inspiring Three-CD Compilation, "Alligator Records 35X35."
The First Cut, "Honey Hush," Is Performed by ALBERT GENE COLLINS (b. 10/1/1932 - 11/24/1993) An American Electric Blues Guitarist And Singer With A Distinctive Guitar Style. He Was Noted For His Powerful Playing And His Use Of Altered Tunings And A Capo. His Long Association With Fender Telecaster Led To The Title "The Master Of The Telecaster."
COLLINS Is Remembered For His Informal And Audience-Engaging Live Performances. He Would Frequently Leave The Stage While Still Playing To Mingle With The Audience. The Use Of An Extended Guitar Cord Allowed COLLINS To Go Outside Clubs To The Sidewalk; One Anecdote Stated That He Left A Club With The Audience In Tow To Visit The Store Next Door To Buy A Candy Bar Without Once Stopping His Act!
Our Second Smokin' Blues Track, "Voodoo Daddy" Is By LONNIE BROOKS (Born LEE BAKER JR., 12/18/1933 - 4/1/2017), Ans American Blues Singer And Guitarist. Musicologist ROBERT PALMER, Writing In Rolling Stone Magazine, Stated "His Music Is Witty, Soulful And Ferociously Energetic, Brimming With Novel Harmonic Turnarounds, Committed Vocals And Simply Astonishing Guitar Work." JON PARELES, A Music Critic For The New York Times, Wrote, "He Sings In A Rowdy Baritone, Sliding And Rasping In Songs That Celebrate Lust, Fulfilled And Unfulfilled; His Guitar Solos Are Pointed And Unhurried, With A Tone That Slices Cleanly Across The Beat. Wearing A Cowboy Hat, He Looks Like The Embodiment Of A Good-Time Bluesman." HOWARD REICH, A Music Critic For The Chicago Tribune, Wrote, "...The Music That Thundered From BROOKS's Instrument And Voice...Shook The Room. His Sound Was So Huge And Delivery So Ferocious As To make Everything Alongside Him Seem A Little Smaller."
