ALEXANDER O’NEAL; FIVE QUESTIONS-THE NEW JOURNEY
ON SALE $11.99 CD
With ‘Five Questions - The
New Journey,’ Alexander
O ’Neal brings fresh songwriting
to his classic soul-funk sound.
Whether you’re looking for
smooth, romantic jams or just
want to groove on the dance
floor, you'll have it all in this album. His tough, ballsy
voice has the same grain and range as Otis Redding’s.
PINETOP PERKINS - LADIES MAN
ON SALE $12.99 CD
By 2004, Pinetop Perkins may
have entered his twilight years,
and the fiery action he brought to
the 88’s in Muddy Waters' band
in the 1960’s may have mellowed
to a smoother blues, but ‘Ladies
Man’ proves he's still got the juice. The idea behind the
album was to pair Perkins with an assortment of female
musicians including Ruth Brown, Marcia Ball, and Susan
Tedeschi, who add texture and flavor to Pinetop's well-
worn vocals and still vital boogie-woogie stylings.
JELLY ROLL MORTON; ON SALE $22.99 5 CD SET
This Jelly Roll Morton compendium
includes all of his Victor recordings
from 1926 to 1930. Thanks to the
work of re-mastering guru John R.T.
Davies the music is exuberant and
evocative throughout, as Morton's
substantial composing and arranging talents come into
clear focus. He was able to maintain the joyous ensemble
spirit of New Orleans jazz while continuing the music's
evolution toward swing's sophistication.

HOUSTON MIGHT BE HEAVEN
ROCKIN’ R&B IN TEXAS 1947-1951
ON SALE $22.99 4 CD SET
In the 1950s, Houston’s
Third Ward, there was said
to be a tenseness in the air
- not of hostility but of so
much happening - an
excitement and a freer,
more genial attitude than in
other cities in the South. A
town so full of music was always going to produce
some great records - and here are some of the best,
from the likes of Willie Littlefield, Joe Houston,
Peppermint Harris and Smokey Hogg (to name just a
few). Compilation and sleeve notes are by Neil Slaven

MISSISSIPPI FRED MCDOWELL
DOWN HOME BLUES 1959 - ON SALE $19.99 2CD
i p
In her autobiography,
Shirley Collins tells of her
first meeting with Fred
McDowell at the end of a
hot September day in
Tennessee in 1959.
‘Towards dusk, a slight
figure in dungarees and carrying a guitar appeared out
of the trees and walked into the clearing.. .his name
was Fred McDowell, he was a fifty-year-old farmer
and he’d been picking cotton all day___ Fred started
to play bottleneck guitar, a shimmering and metallic
sound. His singing was quiet but strong and with a
heart-stopping intensity. By the time he’d finished his
first blues, we knew we were in the presence of a great
and extraordinary musician.’
