Bill Wymans Rhythm Kings- The Kings Of Rhythm Vol.1 [4 CD, 2016/FLAC]

 

This box contains the first four releases from Bill Wyman’s Rhythm Kings, the good-time ten-piece band that Bill Wyman put together after leaving the Rolling Stones in 1992. The band has a core rhythm section, but features a revolving combination of all-star guest front men and women. These four albums feature the talents of Gary Brooker, Georgie Fame, Albert Lee, Paul Carrack, Andy Fairweather Low, Chris Rea, Mike Sanchez, Beverley Skeete, Mick Taylor, Nicky Hopkins, Eric Clapton and Peter Frampton.

CDs 2 and 4 are recordings from the band’s live shows originally given a limited release as the ‘Bootleg Kings’, and unavailable for many years.

Jimmy McCracklin & His Blues Blasters - The Modern Recordings Vol.1 + 2 [1999/2004]

  

Although Jimmy McCracklin had already been recording for a few years, his association with Modern marked his first reasonably long tenure with an established label. This 25-track disc covers his first stay with the company, covering a half dozen singles, three songs that first showed up on the 1981 Ace album And His Blues Blasters, and ten demos, outtakes, and alternate takes that were previously unissued. It's solid small-combo West Coast jump blues, sometimes embellished by the tenor saxophone of Maxwell Davis.

Aquarium Rescue Unit - In a Perfect World [1994/FLAC]

 

Founded as an outlet for the "out" musical philosophy of Col. Bruce Hampton, the Aquarium Rescue Unit's ever-rotating lineup became a fixture on the early jam band scene, eventually spawning members of the Allman Brothers Band, Phil Lesh and Friends, Leftover Salmon, and Frogwings. While never commercially successful, the band's hilariously fun fusion of bluegrass, rock, Latin, jazz, and impeccable chops became a template for much future work in the genre.
