VA - Many Faces Of Lou Reed [3 CD, 2016/FLAC]
Along with Iggy Pop, Lou Reed has been one of the most outrageous
American artists of the '70s; an ambassador of the underground world
that lives within each cosmopolitan city and always living life to the
limit. With a remarkable literary talent and always pushing the limits
sound wise, Lou became one of the most iconic artists ever, both as
leader of The Velvet Underground and as a solo artist. The Many Faces Of Lou Reed is
a journey through his side projects, little-known collaborations with
artists such as bass player Fernando Saunders or legendary soul
keyboardist Booker T. Jones; his live shows along the Velvet Underground
and the Rock And Roll Heart tour (one of their most inspired). It is
also a walk thru his immortal body of work, in the hands of artists who
recognize him as their main influence. The Many Faces Of Lou Reed is a
fundamental album for every rock music fan, a fantastic journey through
unknown works, presented with extended liner notes, a luxurious cover
art and remastered sound.
Papa Charlie Jackson - Complete Recorded Works (3 CD, 1991/FLAC)
Papa Charlie Jackson (November 10, 1887 – May 7, 1938) was the first bluesman to record, beginning in 1924 with the Paramount label, playing a hybrid banjo-guitar (six strings tuned like a guitar but with a banjo body that gave it a lighter resonance) and ukulele. And apart from his records and their recording dates, little else is known for sure about this pioneering blues performer, other than his probable city of birth, New Orleans; even his death in Chicago during 1938 is more probable than established fact.
