Torrent description

Tampa Red was a prolific musician who made almost four hundred recordings under his own name between 1928 and 1960, as well as hundreds more accompanying other artists. Naturally, with such a vast output, not everything he recorded was of primary blues interest. In his early days he specialised in hokum, collaborating with pianist Georgia Tom on the hugely influential 'Tight Like That'. 'Uncle Bud' and 'Let Me Play With Your Poodle' on this collection are good examples in that style. In the thirties Red's recordings tended towards sentimental pop ballads, and it was also the time when his kazoo blowing became a feature on most releases. Fortunately, on this album, the compilers have tended to steer clear of most of the pop and kazoo-ridden material and have presented instead a collection of Red's more solid blues performances. 'Grievin' And Worryin' Blues', 'Hard Road Blues', and 'Poor Little Fellow Blues' (erroneously titled 'This Ain't No Place For Me' in the track listings) are good examples of the latter, with Red's guitar well to the fore.

Tampa Red was also known as 'The Guitar Wizard', justifiably, as his beautifully controlled slide playing on guitar solos such as 'Moanin' Heart', 'Prison Bound', and the much-anthologised 'Boogie Woogie Dance' well illustrate. By 1940 Tampa had switched to the electric guitar, and numbers like 'I Want To Swing' and 'She Loves Just Right' testify that his virtuosity on that instrument was as great as ever. His lyrical abilities are also well displayed in this collection, and even demonstrate a darker side to his personality as in 'Taking It And Make My Getaway' where Red appears to be threatening rape if his girl does not give him some of her jelly-roll.

All in all, this is possibly the best blues-biased single CD collection yet from Tampa Red, one of the most influential musicians in the history of the music. Red's devotees will undoubtedly already own his complete works on the fifteen Document volumes. For others, this mid-price CD is a highly recommended.
