T-Bone Walker 'Hypin' Woman Blues'

T-Bone Walker 'Hypin' Woman Blues'

 T-Bone Walker was one of the most innovative and boundary pushing jump blues guitarists of all time, believed by some biographers to be the first musician ever to perform with an electric guitar. This is a boogie blues off his "The Blues Of T-Bone Walker' compilation, as sampled by Mr Scruff for 'Get A Move On'.

Muddy Waters 'Tom Cat'

Muddy Waters 'Tom Cat'

It's about time this psychedelic blues experiment from Muddy Waters and members of Rotary Connection got re-issued.

Buffalo Springfield 'Special Care'

Buffalo Springfield 'Special Care'

Rasping guitar and organ duel taken from Buffalo Springfield's last album released in 1968. Stephen Stills was doing most of the work at this point after numerous line-up changes and itchy feet amongst the ranks. The album cover sort of says it all really, with Neil Young collaged on to the photo and looking in completely the opposite direction. They all look bloody miserable, but the songs carry some weight as a result.

Michael Hurley 'Werewolf'

Michael Hurley 'Werewolf'

Full moon special an evening late and obscured by fog. This is the opener to Hurley's second LP Armchair Boogie from 1971, lovingly re-issued by the mighty Mississippi Records out of Seattle. The album name gives away the kind of unhurried, benign and wistful material to be heard inside.

Darondo 'Let My People Go'

Darondo 'Let My People Go'

It only takes a cursory glance at Darondo's knuckles to see that he means business. Coming on like the musically gifted sibling of B.A. Baracus, this title track off his re-issued album 'Let My People Go' is a taught, muscular, downtempo serving of heavy funk and soul. Get to it sucker!

Del Shannon 'Gemini' (Pilooski edit)

Del Shannon 'Gemini' (Pilooski edit)

One of the standout cuts from Del Shannon's 'lost' psychedelic album 'The Further Adventures Of Charles Westover' goes under the quivering scalpel of Gallic edit maestro Pilooski. This tune comes from one of the limited run Dark & Lovely releases, sharing vinyl space with re-rubs of the Pointer Sisters and Danny Gold. The original is given extra ballast in the form of added kick drum, enhanced handclaps and other dancefloor-friendly sprinkles of magic. Gemini sounds like a total babe.

The Nite-Liters 'I've Got Dreams To Remember'

The Nite-Liters 'I've Got Dreams To Remember'

It's a good thing we don't recall most of the disjointed nonsense that gets dreamt at night.
