The use of slide guitar techniques within blues music is usually taken as a given, although the genesis of the form is not the easiest to trace. it is widely agreed that the roots of slide guitar playing lie in africa. there was also another probable route via the hawaiian islands, they developed their 'slack key' playing style and began to add the use of metal held along the fretboard. however the story is complicated by the famed composer w.c. handy who reported witnessing a blues player at a train station using a knife blade along the strings as early as 1903. it's quite likely that all these scenarios fed into the mix, and by the later 1920s blues players were often using the style. our collection covers a wide period of time from the late 1920s onwards, and features many well known names and highly influential songs.

In the 1960s, lovers of electric blues had a lot to choose from — not only the chicago blues, but also the electric blues of texas, louisiana, detroit, and memphis. vanguard's electric blues output of the 1960s is the main focus of this 2000 compilation, which spans 1965-1968 and spotlights some of the guitar playing singers who recorded for the label. vanguard was no stranger to acoustic country blues — one of the cd's highlights, in fact, is texas native lightnin' hopkins performing "baby, please don't go" at the newport folk festival — but for the most part, frett'n the blues concerns itself with electric northern blues. chicago-based artists dominate the cd, and the vitality of chicago's blues scene of the 1960s is illustrated by such delights as buddy guy performing "sweet little angel" and "one room country shack," homesick james tackling "dust my broom," and otis rush embracing "it's a mean old world." muddy waters, meanwhile, is in fine form on three newport folk festival performances, including "she's nineteen years old" and "i can't be satisfied." and the unique john lee hooker, one of the non-chicagoans on this cd, gives an enjoyable, if too brief, performance on "i can't quit you, baby." frett'n the blues is far from the last word on blues singers/guitarists in the 1960s; nonetheless, it paints a generally impressive picture of vanguard's contributions to the electric northern blues during that decade. ~ alex henderson, rovi

Personnel: eddy clearwater, eddie taylor jr., freddie king, jimmy rogers , john primer, johnny b. moore, lurrie bell, magic slim, otis rush, phil guy, u.p. wilson (vocals, guitar); jimmy johnson , willie j. davis, michael coleman , floyd bonner, tutu jones (guitar); billy branch (harp); big walter horton (harmonica); abb locke, red holloway (saxophone); lewis stephens, kenny barker, lafayette leake, allen batts (piano); alvin hemphill (organ); jerry porter, calep emphrey, jody young, donald coleman, tyrone starks, al duncan , mike kennedy , ray allison, casey jones (drums). recording information: chicago, il (?? /?? /1956-05/18/2000); dallas, tx (?? /?? /1956-05/18/2000); evanston, il (?? /?? /1956-05/18/2000); france (?? /?? /1956-05/18/2000); vienna, austria (?? /?? /1956-05/18/2000). this set from austria's wolf records brings together several old veterans of chicago blues guitar with some of the younger windy city guitar slingers to make an intriguing sampler of the city's various blues styles. what is immediately clear is how urgent and immediate older players like otis rush (his 1956 version of the brilliantly mordant "i can't quit you baby" is here), freddie king ("stormy monday blues" from 1974), and hubert sumlin (a gritty acoustic take on "i've been gone") sound, while the younger players like vance kelly, michael coleman, and eddie taylor, jr. — for all their obvious talent — seem to be doing flashy rehashes of what the older generation already produced some 40 years ago. this isn't necessarily a bad thing, since it preserves the classic feel of electric chicago blues, but it is a little worrisome, since even a slow-to-change genre like the blues still needs to put on some fresh new clothes every once in a while. ~ steve leggett

The sequel to shut up and play your guitar, guitar is a two-part collection of improvisations by frank zappa, assembled from live recordings between 1979 and 1984. zappa's bands from this period provides a solid foundation for what is essentially a one-man show, as zappa carves his "air sculptures" from fluid, lyrical guitar notes. the backdrops vary from rock to blues to free-form embellishments to zappa-defined reggae all the while giving the soloist plenty of room to explore his instrument. while it lacks the interplay between zappa and drummer vinnie colliuta (he appears on only one track of this set) that made its predecessor so remarkable, guitar contains more than enough of zappa's musicianship to carry the day, making this an essential part of any zappa or guitar fan's collection.

Solo performer: joe pass (guitar). recorded in may & june 1977. personnel: joe pass (guitar). audio remasterer: phil delancie. liner note author: benny green . recording information: group iv recording studios, los angeles, ca (05/27/1977/06/01/1977). this cd reissue in joe pass' "virtuoso" series differs from the others in that the unaccompanied guitarist performs a dozen originals rather than standards. pass, who previously had mostly composed blues-oriented pieces, proves to be a surprisingly effective composer, even if his song titles (which include "sevenths," "ninths," "dissonance #1" and "dissonance #2") are not too inspired. there are more ballads than usual in a pass solo showcase, but there is enough variety to hold one's interest, even if none of these pieces (which includes one called "paco delucia") caught on. ~ scott yanow
