Howlin' Wolf - Smokestack Lightning The Complete Chess Masters 1951-1960




 Howlin' Wolf - Smokestack Lightning
The Complete Chess Masters 1951-1960 @320


After issuing Complete sets dedicated to Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry, Little Walter, and Bo Diddley, Hip-O Select finally got around to the titanic Howlin’ Wolf in the fall of 2011, releasing Smokestack Lightning: The Complete Chess Masters 1951-1960, a 97-track, four-disc limited-edition box set containing everything the Wolf cut in his first decade of recording. Although the first years of the ‘60s treated him exceptionally well -- many classic sessions arrived in the first few years of the decade, many showcased on 1962’s peerless “rocking chair” album -- this is where his legacy lies: with the spooky, primal howl that kicks off “Moanin’ at Midnight” and the scores of earthy boogies and down-and-dirty grinds that followed. Smokestack Lightning stacks up plenty of alternate takes, a good chunk of them never released in the U.S., but the repetition doesn’t slow the set down or turn it repetitive. Instead, the repeated alternate takes sit well with the treasures -- many justly celebrated, some unearthed -- all adding up to a testament to Howlin' Wolf’s unearthly, mighty force. (AllMusic)

Lyres – On Fyre At The Rusty Nail 1985 (2025) 320

** The Rusty Nail was a throwback to an earlier time, a wayward roadhouse/live music venue in the wilds of Western Massachusetts, located 15 minutes up the road from the University of Massachusetts, in the woodsy hill town of Sunderland, population 3400. The wood hewn hole in the wall featured an eclectic variety of touring acts, who would bypass the bigger college towns in favor of playing at the Nail. I saw James Brown and the Buzzcocks there, to name a couple. However, for my money, the greatest show ever staged at the Rusty Nail was Lyres’ performance on March 29, 1985.

The band was road-tested and on top of their game, having toured the US and Europe relentlessly in the months prior, in support of their 1984 album On Fyre. They tore through a fast and furious set, an hour and change of non-stop rock 'n' roll, pausing only for Jeff Conolly to tell the audience, "This is a one o'clock club, which means you have to drink twice as fast."
As Lyres closed the show with "What a Girl Can't Do," the audience was left awestruck, buzzing, and sweaty.
Exactly four months after this show was recorded, the Rusty Nail burned to the ground.

Some said the fire was caused by faulty wiring, while others alleged an insurance bust-out scheme. My favourite theory is that it was burned down by local residents who were sick and tired of Rusty Nail patrons parking, pissing, and/or puking on their lawns.
I consider this album to be the finest Lyres live recording in existence. It has been pitch-corrected, remixed, and remastered from the original two track soundboard recording. On Fyre at the Rusty Nail 1985 is a testament to Lyres as not just one of the greatest bands from Boston, but one of the greatest bands from anywhere. **

Jeff Beck - 1991 - Beckology



Jeff Beck - 1991 - Beckology



This triple-CD set -- obviously modelled after the four-CD Eric Clapton Crossroads box -- was the first attempt to survey Jeff Beck's entire career. In actual fact, that would be a hopeless task, given the amount of anonymous session work that the guitarist did circa 1964-1966, but Beckology still manages to touch a few unexpected bases, even as it strings together all of the obvious and most of the important sides in Beck's output. Disc one opens with the most alluring part of the entire set, three demo tracks left behind by Beck's 1963-1965 group, the Tridents; the first official releases by this band are of far more than academic interest, presenting a first-rate blues/R&B outfit supercharged by Beck's guitar and Ray Cook's drumming, doing killer Jimmy Reed and Bo Diddley material, and even showing off Beck's prowess as a singer. 

The next 15 tracks represent the core of the Yardbirds' output during Beck's tenure, which lasted from March of 1965 through the summer of 1966 -- anything here could justify a place on a Yardbirds best-of set; the makers have rounded this disc out with four live cuts by the band from the BBC archives, including Beck's extraordinary homage to Elmore James' guitar playing on "The Sun Is Shining" and the unheralded group original "Love Me Like I Love You", and finish the platter with Beck's first three solo single sides, two of which, "Hi Ho Silver Lining" and "Tally Man," comprise the guitarist's brief, achingly beautiful virtuoso digression into trippy psychedelic pop, before he broke through to the more fertile field of what came to be known as heavy metal. Disc two is all of that, made up of the core of his output with the Jeff Beck Group and Beck Bogert & Appice, the latter filled out with a pair of previously unissued tracks: a live version of "Blues Deluxe/BBA Boogie" and "Jizz Whizz." 

Disc three skips across Beck's instrumental sides off of Blow by Blow, Wired, and There and Back and his tour with the Jan Hammer Group from the later 1970s, and wraps up with ten songs from Flash and Jeff Beck's Guitar Shop, sandwiching some key odd singles and Beck's contributions to the soundtracks of the movies Twins and Porky's Revenge. There are flaws in this set, to be sure; originally conceived as a four-disc retrospective, it was reduced to three, over Beck's wishes that some proposed cuts be omitted and Sony Music's timidity over the sales prospect of the four-CD set. But it is a good package within those boundaries, with fairly thorough annotation accompanied by great photos and a Pete Frame family tree, and, above all, excellent tape research -- not only were the right masters (i.e., the mono masters) used on "Hot House of Omagarashid" and "Lost Woman," but this is also the only CD package to combine the Yardbirds' 1965 catalog material with their 1966 tracks (owned by separate parties who will not get together). The mastering of it all is so clean that it put most of the older versions of this material to shame at the time. (AllMusic)
