Columbia Legacy reissue is a profile of the artist in his post-Chess Records years. It is chock-full of classics, many of which have been covered by rock bands as well as blues musicians: "Back Door Man"; "I Can't Quit You Baby"; "Spoonful"; "I Ain't Superstitious"; "I'm Your Hoochie Coochie Man" ... the list goes on. For all his achievements as a composer and performer, relatively little of Dixon's recorded work is available, particularly from his later years. Poet of the Blues is an excellent introduction as well as a chance to hear many of these classic songs in their original incarnations. --Genevieve Williams

Advantages: Lovely bluesy stuff Disadvantages: Not much info included
...You're never quite sure what you are getting when you buy a Gary Moore album these days, although I guess there is a bit of a clue in the title with this one.
There are very few sleeve notes to help out mind you, with six of the ten tracks credited to Gary, the others simply to James (Elmore?), Dixon (Willie?), Rush (not the band I don't think, more likely to be Otis) and Beech (no idea). More info would have been appreciated. Two of the tracks are bracketed with '(2006)', presumably to emphasise the 'new' bit, although the Otis Rush effort is confusingly one of them.
It is perhaps a tribute to Moore that his own compositions sit right at home with those by the blues masters, his Midnight Blues arriving seamlessly after Done Somebody Wrong and You Know My Love by messrs James and Dixon respectively.
Ain't Nobody is more funkified...

...My taste in music is Catholic. In hat my taste in music is wide and varied. Which is why you will find me writing reviews on a wide range of musical styles and genres.
One of my passions is the Blues. This review is a review of Comin' Home to the Blues, volume II.
This really is a classic CD if its type. It sounds like a Whose Who in Blues Hall of Fame. There are tracks my Howlin' Wolf, Bo Didley, sonny Boy Williamson, Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters, Elmore James. Little Walter, Otis Rush, Etta James (who has one of the sexiest female voices ever. In any musical genre!) WillieDixon, John Lee Hooker, Jimmy Rogers, Koko Taylor (who has the other sexiest female voices ever. In any musical genre!) Washboard Sam and Lowell Fulson.
The CD begins with Howlin' Wolf's Red Rooster. This is laid back blues, filled with everything that the blues...

...The first album was recorded in less than 30 hours just a few weeks after Led Zep's formation.
This album contains a old song named "Dazed & Confused" which starts of as a ballad blues number and becomes fused with metal riffs, a classic song. "Dazed & Confused" and "How Many More Times" were leftovers from Page's last days with the Yardbirds. "Good Times Bad Times" combines funk with rock and was created alongside "Communications Breakdown" from their initial rehearsals. "Black Mountain Side" was based on folk guitarist Bert Jansch's Black Water Side. "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" starts of as a ballad but progresses into a heavy rock track ,they were before their time on this one and the ending sounds like Bohemian Rhapsody. This number was borrowed from a Joan Baez album. "You Shook Me" is a classic blues cover of a WillieDixon & JB...
