Various - Acoustic Blues: Acoustic Blues Vol.2 (2-CD)

2-CD Digipac (6-plated) with 124-page booklet, 55 tracks. Total playing time approx. 163 minutes.

•   Second volume in this series of four 2-CD digipac sets.
•   Covering the story of acoustic blues from 1941 to 1959.
•   Pre-war and post-war recordings, a total of 55 tracks, carefully re-mastered from the original sources.
•   124-page booklet with rare photos and in-depth liner notes and bios.
•   Blues greats like Big Joe Williams, Brownie McGhee, McKinley Morganfield, John Lee Hooker, and Big Bill Broonzy alongside lesser know pickers like William Brown, Alabama Slim, Manny Nichols, a.m.o.

Our second volume in this series commences at just about the time that amplification was beginning to permanently alter the definition of blues guitar. Texan T-Bone Walker was at the vanguard of the new electrified approach. He inspired an army of daring young disciples who picked out dazzling single-string solos that fit right into the urban jump blues phenomenon sweeping the country during the immediate postwar era.

Yet there was still a market for downhome acoustic blues guitar. Indie firms introduced a new batch of guitarists who stubbornly refused to amplify their instruments. Most of them were solidly rooted in pre-war tradition. A few such as Nat Terry, Willie Lane, Julius King, and Johnny Beck made one or two now-prized 78s and were never heard from again.

This collection includes splendid selections by a few of the giants from the pre-war days that we heard from last time—Big Bill Broonzy, Blind Willie McTell, Josh White, Big Joe Williams—who were still actively creating and recording classic sides, but it’s largely devoted to the new crop of acoustic blues guitarists. You’ll find key early performances by Muddy Waters, Brownie McGhee, Arthur ‘Big Boy’ Crudup, and Lightnin’ Hopkins, all of whom would soon go electric to keep up with the times and quickly rise to the top of the blues field. But the acoustic bluesmen populating this volume were still in dogged search of commercial success the old-fashioned way: singles sales and jukebox play. Their artistry remains timeless.

Acoustic Blues, The Definte Collection

The Roots Of It All

In Ergänzung dieses Standardwerks hat Bluesforscher Bill Dahl nun die Geschichte des akustischen Blues. Von den kommerziellen Anfängen in den frühen Zwanzigerjahren bis in die Gegenwart hinein zusammengestellt und kommentiert. Über die Grenzen der Kataloge einzelner Plattenfirmen hinaus präsentiert Bear Family auf vier Doppel-CDs die bedeutendsten Aufnahmen in chronologischer Reihenfolge.

Sorgfältig teils von Original-Schelllackplatten und später von besten analogen und digitalen Quellen gemastert. Die Begleitbücher mit jeweils ca. 80 Seiten liefern umfangreiche Linernotes, herrliche Illustrationen und oftmals seltene Fotos und gründlich recherchierte diskografische Informationen.

Von den Anfängen in den Zwanziger Jahren

Diese Serie dokumentiert die faszinierende Geschichte der akustischen Bluesgitarre von den Anfängen in den Zwanziger- und Dreißigerjahren des letzten Jahrhunderts.

Als die noch in den Kinderschuhen steckende Schallplattenindustrie umfassend Aufnahmen mit Bluesmusikern aus dem Süden machte (oftmals in hektisch aufgebauten provisorischen Aufnahmestudios in Hotelzimmern und an anderen akustisch annehmbaren Orten), bis in die Gegenwart.

Wiederbelebung des Country Blues

Jede der randvollen Doppel-CDs in dieser Reihe deckt eine bestimmte Epoche des auf akustischen Instrumenten gespielten Blues ab.

Äusserst empfehlenswert

Jazz 'n' More 3/2015 "Das umtriebige deutsche Label Bear Family stellt hier vier großartig konzipierte Doppelalben vor, welche chronologisch die Geschichte der unverstärkten Bluesmusik bis heute abdecken. Äusserst empfehlenswert!"

Spannend, unterhaltsam und lehrreich

HiFi & Records 3/2015 "Die akribisch kompilierte Sammlung gleicht einem spannenden, unterhaltsamen und lehrreichen Saitensprung durch neun Jahrzehnte akustischer Blues-Historie."
