Goin Down South Blues Sampler Vol.2 - VARIOUS ARTISTS CD

Goin Down South Blues Sampler Vol. 2 is the follow-up to the critically acclaimed Inside Sounds release Goin Down South Blues Sampler, a collection of contemporary Mid-South blues artists. Opening with Robert "Wolfman" Belfours "Old Black Mattie," Vol. 2 is a comprehensive blues journey from the stark sounds of the Mississippi Delta to the electric blues of Beale Street. Most of the 17 tracks have never been released before and represent the heart and soul of Memphis blues. Phill Durham, from the legendary Memphis band Molloch, is heard on this CD for the first time as a solo artist. Rare performances from Big Lucky Carter, Mose Vinson, and Willie Foster are also included. Doc Tomatos "Ive Kissed My Last Ass" is an absolute riot, and the Richard Johnston/Jessie Mae Hemphill collaboration is a gem. The 6-page booklet includes artist descriptions along with contact information. The CD was compiled for release by Billy Gibson and Eddie Dattel.Additional Info: Although it is intended as a sampler of various Inside Sounds releases, Going Down South Blues Sampler, Vol. 2 works as a well-selected sequence of contemporary Southern blues, ranging from stripped-down, raggedly funky folk pieces from the delightful Jessie Mae Hemphill ("Chicken and Gravy," "Lord, Help the Poor and Needy") to Doc Tomato's blistering electric assault on "I've Kissed My Last Ass." None of it is by the numbers or run of the mill, and it shows the blues to be alive and well, in spite of claims to the contrary. ~ Steve Leggett
