Various - Acoustic Blues: Acoustic Blues Vol.4 (2-CD)

2-CD Digipac (6-plated) with 112-page booklet, 40 tracks. Total playing time approx. 147 minutes.

The fourth and final volume in this series of 2-CD digipac sets.
Covering the story of acoustic blues from 1980 to 2012.
Acoustic blues recordings, a total of 40 tracks, carefully re-mastered from the original masters.
112-page booklet with rare photos and in-depth liner notes and bios.
Blues greats like Taj Mahal, James Son Thomas, Homesick James, John Hammond, and Keb Mo, alongside lesser know artists like Guitar Frank, John Dee Holeman, Precious Bryant, a.m.o.

Any concern that interest in acoustic blues guitar would recede in the face of the loss of many of its leading figures and so much electric blues and blues-rock was permanently put to rest by a new legion of disciples and the discovery of yet more older musicians that somehow eluded discovery during the postwar era (and in a few notable cases, pre-war days). Certified legends Robert Lockwood, Jr., Henry Townsend, and Sam Chatmon were happily still in business.

Younger 60s/70s discoveries Taj Mahal, John Hammond, Geoff Muldaur, David Bromberg, and Bonnie Raitt were now joined by the next generation of acoustic pickers, who brought fresh ideas to the table along with a deeply ingrained sense of tradition. As the blues underwent a major resurgence during the 80s and 90s with the genre finding its way into advertising campaigns and mainstream films such as Crossroads, young acoustic players with exciting new ideas emerged. In the cases of Keb Mo and Alvin Youngblood Hart, their debut CDs were released on a major label, underscoring the genres renewed commercial potential. Corey Harris was every bit their artistic equal, albeit without major label backing.

The acoustic movement remains very much alive today, thanks to a constant infusion of new blood and established visionaries such as Otis Taylor dedicated to escorting the approach into uncharted waters. Let there be no doubt: acoustic blues as we have traced it over the course of this eight-disc series wont go anywhere anytime soon.

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.
