Review Hound Dog - The Essential Collection / Big Mama Thornton:The classic "Hound Dog" is usually associated with Elvis Presley, but blues fans know: Presley's recording wasn't the first. That honor belongs to singer Big Mama Thornton, whose own recording of "Hound Dog" was eclipsed by Presley's. Her version is on this collection in all its glory, opening a CD of 18 killer tracks. Thornton's voice, by turns growling and richly melodic, was indeed unusual, and the spare accompaniment on Hound Dog makes it stand out all the more on songs such as "They Call Me Big Mama," "How Come," "The Big Change," "Hard Times," and "The Fish. " Thornton had talent and attitude to spare, and both come through loud and clear on this essential collection. -Genevieve Williams.

Review Get Me Some / Jeff Healey:It can be somewhat disconcerting to witness Jeff Healey encouraging his guitar to cry because, quite frankly, he plays it all wrong. Rather than dangling it from his shoulder and jabbing it from his crotch in the accepted phallic fashion, he rests it across his lap and taps out blues figures to make your heart bleed. While reasonably akin to witnessing a negligent artiste endeavouring to blow into a cello, you have to admit that the resultant sonic confection is rarely short of awe-inspiring. Which is nice. Get Me Some finds the Toronto-born guitarist, blind since developing eye cancer at the age of one, operating at the very peak of his form. Fret pyrotechnics occasionally flutter into the peerless arena of Stevie Ray Vaughan's finest fluidity, while the material perpetually sparkles with vibrant crescendos. From the blazing "Which One" to the poignant "Rachel's Song", Get Me Some is pure genius. -Ian Fortnam.

Review Five Guys Walk Into A Bar... (4CD) / The Faces:Five Guys Walk Into A Bar serves as a reminder that The Faces were once considered the saviours of rock&roll. As a live act, they provided a sense of empathy with their audience at a time when rock acts were becoming characterised by a hauteur. While their records were never as consistent as their stage prowess, their four albums from 1970-1973 contained many fine moments, inevitable considering the band was made up of the gravel-throated emotionality of Rod Stewart, the fat, rasping guitar work of Ron Wood and the pop craftsmanship of the nucleus of the Small Faces. This set has been compiled by Faces keyboardist Ian McLagan, who has not gone for the complete oeuvre approach but the hits-and-rarities method. Consequently, this is a treasure trove of neglected B-sides and previously unheard rehearsal tapes, live versions and outtakes. Of most interest to many, artistically and symbolically, will be the inclusion of a stage rendition of "(I Know) I'm Losing You". The Faces' thunderous version of this song was probably their greatest ever studio performance but mysteriously turned up on a Stewart solo album. Rod often overshadowed the Faces but this spiffing box-set proves they were collectively as deserving of attention as their frontman. -Sean Egan.
