James Booker
I had to pinch myself when I saw an ad for this CD and after a very
interesting telephone conversation with producer and label owner Daniel
Moore, I was absolutely stunned by what was said. Here was a "lost"
studio session from 1973 featuring James "Gonzo" Booker, the most
incredibly gifted pianist/organist to ever come out of New Orleans and he's
backed by an all star crew of Crescent City pals: drummer John
Boudreaux, Richard "Didimus" Washington on percussion, Alvin
"Shine" Robinson on guitar, Jessie Hill on tambourines, and David
Lastie on sax, with co-producer David Johnson on bass.

Don Preston
When
Don Preston plays the blues, it's the real thing. Don has played
guitar for such R&B icons as The Coasters, The
Penguins, The Jaguars, and the Olimpics. In the late 50s. Preston did further brilliant work as a sideman with Chuck Berry, Ray Sharpe, Gene Vincent, Jessie Hill, Jerry Lee Lewis, Rick Nelson, The Righteous Brothers, Ritchie Valens, and many others. Blues masters like Preston distinguish themsleves not by how many notes they can play or how fast, but by how deeply they draw from the well of the musical groundwater - where the blues begins. This album, "Sacre Blues",
is Don Preston at his best.
