Review Slide Guitar: Streamline Special / Various:There's just something about slide guitar when it's done right, and it's definitely done right here. Streamline Special is something of a history lesson, as well; everyone from Robert Johnson ("Preachin' Blues") and Blind Boy Fuller ("Homesick & Lonesome Blues") to Muddy Waters ("I Feel Like Going Home") to Taj Mahal, whose "Country Blues" rendition is one of the highlights of this collection. There's the deceptively down-tempo "Two Timin' Woman" from Casey Bill Weldon, and Bukka White's "Special Streamline," where he does a train sound with his guitar that puts Aerosmith's "Train Kept a-Rollin'" to shame. Allen Shaw really does moan on "Moanin' the Blues," and Tampa Red and Georgia Tom's "No Matter How She Done It" is a smart, sassy, and frequently hilarious song. This isn't a definitive collection by a long shot, but it's an excellent introduction to the expressiveness and versatility of slide guitar. -Genevieve Williams.

Review Wanted Dead or Alive / David Bromberg:David Bromberg is due for rediscovery. As a '60s and '70s session man, he lent his blues skill to records by Dylan, Paxton and Jerry Jeff Walker. But none of that work suggested his talents as an arranger, his full command of diverse American genres, nor his husky, moving vocals. This '74 reissue is a fine place to start with Bromberg, and songs like "Send Me to the 'Lectric Chair" and his medly of "Statesboro Blues/Church Bells" serve notice of the talent of this overlooked, roots-music master. -Roy Francis Kasten.
