Advantages: A good mix of songs Disadvantages: Doesnt help you get through the housework
A cd thats a couple of years old now but still fun to listen to.
I mean this cd says its meant to help you through the housework but I personally dont think it really does,if anything it distracts you,because you just start singing along to all the great tracks this album has to offer, you get caught up in the music and completely lose track of what you were doing - maybe a good thing in a way :-)
Housework vol1 is a double album that has some cracking songs that you just dont seem to hear on the radio anymore such as The Beach Boys - Help Me Rhonda and Don McLeans - American Pie.
The songs on this album just make you feel good and really help to lift your spirits,but I honestly think its marketed wrong,this is a feel good album for anyone just not people doing the housework.I dont think the title of the album really represents ...
Advantages: It rocks Disadvantages: A few iffy tracks
, the album is made up of two CD's, featuring 42 great hits by a myriad of various different artists, spanning five decades of rock music.
The first CD comprises 20 songs (more than the average single CD compilation contains), each with individuality and plectrum melting flair:
Queen - Tie your mother down
A classic Quen rock hit, featuring the compiler himself, Brian May. One of Queens greatest riffs of all time.
Deep Purple - Smoke on the Water
This had to be there. Everyone knows the riff, and the solo has some brilliant moments that are signature of Ritchie Blackmore and Deep Purple .
Blur - Song 2
Modern rock with a subtle verse and headbanging chorus. A great and memorable tune but lacks a screaming solo.
Aerosmith Ft. Run DMC - Walk This Way
Rap on an air guitar album??? You must be kidding! But this collaboration ...
Advantages: great track line up, many classics involved Disadvantages: None as of yet.
Hi, after buying this cd some time back i didnt yet realise how many good songs were actualy on this 2 disk set. Some of the well known artists which appear on here is, DJ Casper, Special D, Scooter, Kelly Llorenna, LMC vs U2, Ultrabeat, XTM and many more. (see below for full track listing)
Compared to any other compilations i have purchased in the past this one has been in the cd player the longest! its great to listen to anytime of the day and basicaly anywhere, whether in your car, house or at work!
This CD is a huge compilation of variousartists and will be enjoyed by anyone who listen's to it. It follows the genre of more of a clubby/trance/electronic disk comapred to other 'chillout' disks.
Overall i rate this CD 10/10 and i love it!
Disc 11.: Cha Cha Slide - DJ Casper
2.: Take Me To The Clouds Above - LMC ...

Album Notes
Part of Columbia's Roots N' Blues series. Organized roughly into chronological order, THE SLIDE GUITAR-BOTTLES, KNIVES & STEEL is an expansive selection of blues slide guitar playing from the late 1920s through the mid-1960s. Some well-known slide guitar players from the 1920s and '30s, including Robert Johnson, Charlie Patton, and Blind Boy Fuller, are featured here. However, there are also number of lesser-known blues players from later periods, including Sister O.M. Terrell and Buddy Woods, who are deservedly featured on this recording. Though the sound quality on some of the older recordings is a little uneven and the Chicago electric slide of post-World War II Chicago blues--particularly that of Elmore James--is omitted in favor of a more intimate, raw blues sound, there is no shortage of first-rate blues playing here. The closing track featuring Son House is especially notable. House, who was recorded in the midst of the 1960's blues resurgence in a proper studio by legendary producer John Hammond, contributes a version of "Pearline" which stands as a stirring reminder of the power of the blues, even when it's just a man and his guitar.
Album Reviews
Rolling Stone (4/18/91) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "..Listen to `The Slide Guitar' and its obvious Blind Willie Johnson was an original: Not only is his ghostly, quivering vibrato nothing like the more liquid tone preferred by Robert Johnson or Tampa Red, but he also seemed to be after an entirely different effect. Rather than use the slide to energize the beat...it moves across the basic rhythm like the Holy Spirit over the world." Down Beat (2/91) - 4.5 Stars - Very Good Plus - "..an excursion across one of the blues' most emotionally charged and haunting landscapes."
