Part one of the most comprehensive history EVER of electrified blues on 12 electrifying CDs! Every significant artist ... every significant recording from the 1930s to the present day, including T-Bone Walker, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, George Thorogood, and Freddie, B.B. and Albert King, Jeff Beck, Fleetwood Mac, Charlie Musselwhite, Johnny Winter, and Stevie Ray Vaughan, and literally hundreds more! In all, fifteen-and-a-half hours! Compiled and annotated by renowned blues expert, Bill Dahl. Every 3-CD set comes with a 160-page booklet including biographies, illustrations, original release info, and rare photos! Cross-licensed from every record company to be truly comprehensive!

Blues historian and musicologist, Bill Dahl from Chicago, has produced the most comprehensive history of electric blues ... ever! With nearly 300 tracks, Bear Family Records is telling the story from the beginning into the new millennium. In the 1930s, the invention of Gibson's ES-150 - the first electric guitar - changed popular music forever. The first generation of blues pioneers played acoustic instruments, but with the invention of amplification, guitar and harmonica players could be heard over the piano, drums and horns. Music was revolutionized!

The 12 generously full CDs are in four sets of three CDs in elegant digipaks. On more than 650 pages in four lavishly illustrated booklets, Bill Dahl writes authoritatively about the history of electric blues, and how it influenced rock music during the 1960s and beyond. Here's the complete story from jazz-inspired jump numbers in the late 1930s to hard-driving blues/rock from the States and Great Britain in the 1960s, '70s, and beyond. The journey closes with today's contemporary blues. This is it! Truly definitive! Done as only Bear Family can do it!

Electric Blues - Plug It In! Turn It Up!

Bear Family's Electric Blues Serie "Plug It In! Turn It Up!" gewinnt Blues Music Award 2013

Der in Texas geborene T-Bone Walker war die Hauptfigur in der Entwicklung der elektrischen Bluesgitarre, wie wir sie heute kennen. Beginnend mit seiner bahnbrechenden Aufnahme von Mean Old World in 1942 (dem zweiten Titel dieses Sets), schrieb er einen Großteil des Vokabulars der elektrischen Nachkriegs-Bluesgitarre. Andere merkten bald, aus welcher Richtung der Wind wehte, und so wechselten die verehrten Bluesveteranen Big Bill Broonzy, Memphis Minnie, Tampa Red und viele andere etablierte Altmeister mutig zum elektrischen Instrument; eine neue Generation jüngerer Elektrogitarristen sprang in T-Bones mächtige Fußstapfen – in Texas, im ganzen Süden, in Chicago und an der Westküste.

Die meisten dieser einflussreichen Gitarrengrößen sind auf den vorliegenden CDs Serie Electric Blues zu finden. Die verstärkte Mundharmonika war eine spätere Innovation. Das kleine Instrument trat ohnehin erst ab 1937 als ernst zu nehmendes Soloinstrument im Blues hervor, als John Lee 'Sonny Boy’ Williamson mit seiner Bluebird-Einspielung von Good Morning, School Girl auftauchte (Sonny Boy blieb leider nicht die Zeit, um vor seiner Ermordung 1948 sein Instrument zu verstärken, aber er arbeitete in den letzten Jahren vor seinem Tod in seiner Band mit elektrisch spielenden  Gitarristen). Erst in den späten 40er- und frühen 50er-Jahren traten eine Reihe von jungen Bluesharp-Zauberern ins Rampenlicht und pumpten ihre aufregenden Soli durch ein Mikrofon und einen Verstärker, allen voran der unerreichte Little Walter in Chicago.

Zu seinen innovativen Kollegen gehörten Snooky Pryor, Big Walter Horton, George 'Harmonica' Smith, Papa Lightfoot und Junior Wells. Nach dem Durchhören dieser Serie von 3-CD-Sets wird der Hörer alle Facetten des elektrischen Blues kenngelernt haben: swingende Jump-Titel, erdige Solonummern, Rock’n’Roller aus den 50ern, hart treibenden britischen und amerikanischen Blues-Rock der 60er-Jahre und danach, Soul-Blues aus den 70ern, bis hin zum zeitgenössischen Blues von heute, in dem die elektrische Gitarre weiterhin als allmächtiger König regiert. Es ist unmöglich, jeden wichtigen Meilenstein des Genres in dieser Serie zu berücksichtigen – dazu würde man einen wahren Berg an CDs und eine entsprechende Lawine von Begleittext benötigen – aber nach dem Hören des Dutzends prall gefüllter CDs dieser Serie werden Sie einen recht guten Eindruck gewonnen haben, wie sich der elektrische Blues entwickelt hat und wer seine wichtigen Künstler waren und sind – ganz zu schweigen von der Vielzahl zu Unrecht in Vergessenheit geratener Helden.

Ohne die Verstärkung hätte es den Blues, wie wir ihn im 21. Jahrhundert kennen, niemals gegeben. Hier sind die legendären Musiker, die den elektrischen Blues erfunden haben.

Bear Family's Electric Blues Serie "Plug It In! Turn It Up!" gewinnt Blues Music Award 2013
