180 gram vinyl.<br/><br/>One of the most influential artists from the southern parts of the United States is undoubtedly Lead Belly. Gifted with the ability to write thought provoking lyrics, he became a true master of the folk and blues scene. The list of artists that have paid tribute to him by covering his songs is endless, among these are Elvis Presley, The Beatles, The Animals, Bruce Springsteen and Lonnie Donegan to name but a few. Although many people are familiar with Lead Belly's songs, only few know the true story of the interesting person behind them.

180 gram vinyl.<br/><br/>Muddy's Sunday afternoon performance at Newport Jazz Festival proved a joyful termination, sparked by the opening 'I Got My Brand On You' with Otis Spann honkytonking his way to glory, then powered on with a version of Big Joe Williams' 'Baby Please Don't Go' and concluding with a stupendous rendition of 'Got My Mojo Working'. The set had members of the crowd dancing and Muddy displaying his own terpsichorean expertise as he grabbed James Cotton and the two waltzed across the stage in best ballroom style! With Muddy utterly exhausted from his efforts, it was left to Otis Spann to perform the vocal duties on 'Goodbye Newport Blues,' a piece featuring an impromptu lyric from poet Langston Hughes, who was present at Newport that day and moved to contribute the perfect ending to one of the finest recordings ever issued in the name of blues. An LP that would aptly be listed twelfth amid the Rolling Stone '50 Greatest Albums of All-Time'.

Sandvik Jörgen: Permanent vacation [Vinyl LP]

Grey vinyl. Gatefold.<br/><br/>It was all about that beat, a constant sound that immediately identified him. He refused to change it... didn't need to. Through decades of recording John Lee Hooker stuck to the Delta blues sound and kept going. He is not only a blues icon but a music legend whose songs, covered by countless bands, will ensure his name lives on. Yet there is nothing quite as potent as hearing them sung by their creator.

180 gram vinyl.<br/><br/>Wells' recording career began with singles. From the early 1950s through to the early 1960s Wells recorded a number of singles as a solo artist for various labels including States Records, USA, Chief Records (and its subsidiary, Profile Records), and it's that period that forms the basis of this 2-LP set. Wells wrote or co-wrote over half the songs here; several more tracks were written by Mel London, the house producer and owner of Chief Records. It's an interesting collection, full of great rarities.
