This is a group of legendary sidemen with nearly 300 years of combined experience in blues music and history. If you want real blues and real blues history from the guys who have lived it, recorded it, and played it every night with the legends, then just take a look at what these guys have accomplished. A set list we all know and love. Some we may not have heard in awhile performed by the artists who were part of it. This new CD takes us from the Delta to present day. It has already been called " Goldilocks" by radio professionals. From the man who helped put Jimi Hendrix in our lives, to other great sidemen from B.B. King, Gatemouth Brown, Mighty Sam McClain, and the list goes on. This is a true Blues fans CD!
Sonny Phillips is a decent, if derivative organist who recorded three albums for Prestige from 1969-70 and a pair for Muse in the mid-1970s. This 1997 CD reissue has all of the music from Sure 'Nuff and Black on Black, a couple of fine soul-jazz recordings. The earlier set is a quintet/sextet set with tenor saxophonist Houston Person, guitarist Joe "Boogaloo" Jones, electric bassist Bob Bushnell, drummer Bernard Purdie and sometimes trumpeter Virgil Jones. The later date features Phillips with tenor saxophonist Rusty Bryant, guitarist Melvin Sparks, electric bassist Jimmy Lewis and drummer Bernard Purdie. The music is blues- and groove-oriented, with "Oleo" being one of the few departures. Person and Bryant in particular have fine solos, while Phillips' chugging organ is appealing. This is his definitive set.

No pop genre has defined what a summer night can be as much as doo wop, with its countless songs about the moon and the stars and the light they cast on the possibilities of romance, and no pop genre has ever had more earthly angels residing per square foot. This 6 volume, 24 disc, 600-song collection of doo wop vocal groups has numerous examples of both, along with seemingly a song for every girl's name ever invented.
