Top 10 New Orleans

Crimson Music is proud to present forty Top 40 rock smashes from Europe, Pearl Jam, Santana, HIM, Rock Springfield and others.

William Kearney aka Guitar Shorty keeps it lean, mean and direct on this outing. Recorded in New Orleans, this session features his regular road band, abetted by Mark "Kaz" Kazanoff and some top N.O. players like Buckwheat Zydeco bassist Lee Allen Zeno. Shorty penned seven of the 12 tunes aboard, and the mix on this album runs from Texas shuffles ("Sugar Wugar," "I'm Going Back to Houston"), low down blues ("I Wonder Who's Sleeping in My Bed," "You're a Troublemaker," "Me and You Last Night") to New Orleans rock & roll ("I Want to Report a Crime," "Hard Time Woman," "The Porkchop Song" and the title track) and funk ("Don't Mess with My Woman," "Let's Get Close"), plus a heartfelt tribute to Hendrix on an extended workout on "Hey Joe." A wide and varied session that showcases the guitarist's wide-ranging chops and skills.

The Blues originated in African-American communities of, primarily, the "Deep South" of the United States towards the end of the 19th century. This collection compiles 16 complete blues LPs, all of them classics, which serve as an easy introduction to the genre. Most of them were recorded between the mid-1950s and the early 1960s, when recording techniques had advanced significantly with respect to previous years. Represented here are some of the best figures of the blues world, heard on some of the finest LPs of the genre.

A 2CD disc of forty Top 40 Hits from the best of the decade featuring great pop artists such as B*Witched, Anastacia, LaBelle and New Kids On The Block and others.
