Blues Artists Compilations The page highlights a variety of compilations of
various blues artists releases. They can serve either as an introduction
for the ambitious or for more casual fans, their collection. Often this
is a very inexpensive way to get some great music, especially for releases that have been around for some
time often are sold at bargain prices. There
are many other good compilations and we'll be adding to this list.
When we do, we may break it down in multiple pages such as what we
did for the Martin Scorsese series. We
started with a focus on the Newport Folk
Festivals, Chess, Martin Scorsese Presents, and Alligator records.
We have plenty of other great compilation recommendations to add.
Please stop back. |

| Alligator Records 35X35 |
|
|
| Alligator
Records has been releasing compilations every five years celebrating
anniversaries. They are all different selections. The 25th year
anniversary looks most attractive to me. I've heard the 35x35 and it
had lots of good material too. The liner notes were pretty good.
These compilations can usually be found second hand through Amazon at very low
prices.
Of note, for the artist that you like, Alligator has a
compilation series called Deluxe. Below we featured some of our
favorite artists that recorded for Alligator, Rob Buchanan, Johnny
Winter, and Albert Collins.
The song selections are at Amazon.

Product Description
35 X 35 is not just another best-of compilation. Alligator founder and president Bruce Iglauer and staff chose to spotlight songs from the Alligator debut release from each featured artist. From "She's Gone" (the very first track on the very first Alligator album, 1971's Hound Dog Taylor and the
HouseRockers) to the legendary Mavis Staples' chilling "A Dying Man's Plea," 35 X 35 is effectively a chronological history of Alligator, a story told in music highlighting every style of blues and roots music the company has released. From the searing hard blues of Hound Dog Taylor, Son Seals, Albert Collins, Luther Allison, Koko Taylor and Buddy Guy to harmonica-driven workouts from Big Walter Horton, Carey Bell, James Cotton, Charlie Musselwhite and William Clarke to the Gulf Coast piano blues of Professor Longhair, Katie Webster and Marcia Ball to the acoustic music of
Saffire--The Uppity Blues Women and Corey Harris, it is clear that Alligator Records has been, and will remain, at the forefront of modern blues music in all of its many shades. With personal notes on each track from Iglauer in the accompanying 40-page booklet, 35 X 35 is proof of the staunchly independent label's single-minded vision for all these years: to record nothing but deeply rooted "Genuine
Houserockin' Music." |
