Maybe this double-helping of all things fat and fantastic should have been titled The Best Of Rotund Rock. Certainly, where rock'n'roll origins are concerned, slimming was purely for wimps. Some claim that it was all down to Elvis and his hankering for peanut butter and squashed banana sandwiches by the bucketful. Others point out that Fats Domino was the one who really launched the idea of uniting the scales - musical and weighing - in an effort to get jukeboxes shakin' across the universe.

A broadcast of the very first of Frank Zappa s famed Halloween gigs from New York's Palladium Theater (a yearly ritual for Zappa until he stopped performing), this show demonstrates just how important Frank Zappa had become as one of rock's most enduring innovators. It also demonstrates Zappa's kooky and sardonic sense of humor. After introducing his band, and telling the audience that the show was being broadcast, they launch into San Ber'Dino, a song about a modern rodeo cowboy who falls on hard times. Singing lines like: There's 41 men and only one shower in tank C, but it doesn't apply to Bobby…, it confirms how Zappa knew how to make great music and have fun doing it. Performed while promoting his Zoot Allures album, Frank had taken to the road with a band that can only be regarded as an all-star line up. Nearly every musician who had a tenure with Zappa went on to remarkable musical careers, and these men are no exception.

JSP's Atlanta Blues compiles four CDs of performances by Julius Daniels, Curley Weaver, Georgia Browns, Peg Leg Howell, Henry Williams & Eddie Anthony, Macon Ed & Tampa Joe, Lil McClintock, and Lillie Mae. It's hard to go wrong with these 101 recordings cut between 1926 and 1949. The tracks have been remastered, making the majority of this material sound great. Unlike other packages of this type, the liner notes are informative, listing personnel and dates and providing a concise history without going on ad nauseam. As an extra bonus this is a budget-priced set, making it highly recommended, especially for the blues novice.
