专辑介绍

The 2010 issue of Mississippi Blues by Sonny Landreth on the Fuel 2000 imprint is not a new album, nor is it a representative compilation of his oeuvre. In fact, the set is a complete repackage of the album entitled The Crazy Cajun Recordings originally issued on CD by Great Britains Edsel in 1999. The material dates from 1973 and 1977, recorded with the famed Huey P. Meaux (aka the Crazy Cajun) when he wasnt touring with Clifton Chenier as part of his Red Hot Louisiana Band. These 20 tracks range from Landreths Lafayette, LA-styled take on the acoustic Delta blues solo and with a band that included a mandolin player, an electric bassist, and a drummer to his early electric experiments playing a meld of Cajun-flavored soul, rock, and R&B. The electric slide guitar fury evidenced on his own records from the 1980s onward is all but absent here, but the acoustic slide work is particularly plentiful -- check his reading of I Know You Rider, Lazy Boy, and the stomping Prodigal Son. Other styles of rural acoustic blues are represented by the Piedmont-styled Dont Cry for Me and Lookin for a Good Time (the latter played with a backing band). Theres some roadhouse boogie here as well in Baby Aint That Love and The Only One. In other words, there isnt anything about this collection that cant be recommended. Quite the opposite. Its simply a consumer warning that the sticker on the outside of the package -- which says The Best of the Best -- is somewhat misleading. If you don't already have this stuff, snap it up.
