Uneven offering - Reviewed on 2007-07-05

I bought this album after hearing a few cuts on the online radio station Pandora. I was mainly interested in the collaborations of Jeff Beck with Tom Jones (yes, that Tom Jones) and Lulu. These are first rate cuts. The rest of the package is uneven at best.

There are some great performances here from American artists that impacted the blues scene of the UK as well as the UK's Clapton and Mayall, but the real thrill here is brand new material from Jeff Beck and his performances with Tom Jones and Lulu. Jones and Lulu both give inspired performances of some contemporary American blues classics and JB is his usual twisted self wringing every bit of blues out of every note he plays. Someone should convince Jeff and Tom to tour together because this tease is barely enough. I've got to buy the DVD.

I am searching for the old, forgotten (?) and deleted album of Sister Rosetta Tharpe with Mary Knight for the last 30 years or so. Heard it first as a teenager (late fifties?) and I was captured by the first electric guitar that I ever heard in my young life. Now, finally, and thanks to that set, I have at least ONE track from this old concert album. This alone is worth the buy. Yes, it's nostalgia, I know :-)

I first saw this episode when a friend lent me his DVD. I had missed the series when it originally aired in 2003. This episode was a delight to my eyes, and ears. Tom Jones, and Jeff Beck's contributions are worth the price of this CD. Jeff Beck's guitar cries with feeling, and we are reminded why he is Jeff Beck. It's too bad that another reviewer of this CD is too tone deaf to realise this. Lulu's contributions are wonderful as well. The only piece that I feel that doesn't really fit here is the one by Miles Davis. Don't get me wrong, it's a brilliant piece, and the soundtrack it comes from is awsome, but here, I feel that including Van Morrison's intro piece would have mad more sense. If you love blues you'll eat this CD up!
Tom Jones? - Reviewed on 2004-06-20

First off I would like to say that Tom Jones can no more sing blues than Paveratti can sing Punk rock. And whose Idea was it to but Jeff Beck on here. When I saw B.B. King Live I first had to Suffer through an Hour of Jeff Beck Just Screwing around on his guitar! Sure he is a good guitar player but he has no taste at all in his playing! This is my least favorite sound track from The Blues PBS Series. Plus this eppisode was so boring I almost passed out!!!
