Review Steppin' on the Blues / Lonnie Johnson:Not only did Johnson pioneer single-string, blues-guitar improvisation, he still ranks as one of its greatest practitioners. His playing was remarkably fluent, sophisticated, and melodic, yet he never sacrificed emotion or bite. He was the first bluesman to make his mark as a virtuoso instrumentalist, despite his formidable vocals. These 19 early performances (1925-1932) include low-down blues, buoyant ragtime, and catchy hokum, plus examples of sheer instrumental wizardry. Victoria Spivey joins Johnson for the risque vocal duet "Toothache Blues" and Texas Alexander sings lead on a pair of songs, but the instrumentals inevitably remain the highlights. His two guitar duets with jazz great Eddie Lang plus his solo workout on "Playing With the Strings" are astonishing displays of technique. -Marc Greilsamer.

Review The Complete Chess Studio Sessions / Buddy Guy:Although Buddy Guy's first singles were for Chicago's Cobra Records, the bulk of his work in the early to mid-1960s was for the Windy City's most important blues label, Chess. Much of his work for the Chess brothers was as a sideman, but this collection of Guy's own singles and alternate or unreleased takes showcases the stinging guitar tone and preaching vocal style that were to become his trademarks. Among these recordings are the earliest versions of his signature tunes "I Got My Eyes On You", "Stone Crazy", "Watch Yourself", "When My Left Eye Jumps" and the nervy cry for revenge "My Time After Awhile". -Ted Drozdowski.
