Review Takoma Eclectic Sampler / Various Artists:Takoma Eclectic Sampler is a 17-track overview of folk legend John Fahey's former record label. From the blues of Bukka White, Ronnie Barron, and Dr. Ross, to the country of the Sir Douglas Quintet and Rose Maddox, to tracks by Fahey, and even a spoken-word Charles Bukowski cut, this album is nearly essential for anyone who's ever wondered if Takoma's roster was more than just the Peter Lang/Leo Kottke/Fahey triumvirate of instrumental guitar masters. Songs by Canned Heat, Swampdogg, and the Santa Monica Pier Merry-Go-Round (the thing with the horses, not a band) show Takoma's breadth was once enormous. Fahey may have moved on to "running" a label-Revenant, and to projects with a younger generation of noisemakers, but this CD shows how vital a role he played in the music industry from the early '60s to the '80s. Eclecticism may have never paid Fahey's electric bills, but it certainly made for a fine label. -Jason Verlinde.

Review Hard Again / Muddy Waters:It's seems strange now to think of Muddy Waters's having to make a "comeback," but that's what the 1977 Hard Again came down to. The great bluesman's first post-Chess recording after 30 years with that company, it marked Waters's major-label debut and eventually went gold. The over-60 Waters lived up to all the attention with one of his most energetic, sustained performances, bettering his original version of "Mannish Boy," pushing "Bus Driver" to a raging peak, and generally sounding like the wisest man on record. Harp player James Cotton and producer-guitarist Johnny Winter are among the support; they both stay out of Waters's way and give as good as they get. -Rickey Wright It's seems strange now to think of Muddy Waters's having to make a "comeback," but that's what the 1977 Hard Again came down to.

Review Boom Boom / John Lee Hooker:Produced by Hooker's slide guitarist Roy Rogers-who knows what's right for him-this is Hooker's best 1990s effort. Rogers guides him through arrangements that recapture his past glories ("Boom Boom," with guest Jimmie Vaughan), sets him up for a giddy jam with the late Telecaster master Albert Collins ("Boogie at Russian Hill"), and teams him with Charlie Musselwhite for the guitar-voice-harmonica duet "Thought I Heard"-a performance as sad and eerie as disembodied moans in a Delta graveyard. There's also Hooker's first recorded performance on National steel guitar, the solo "Hittin' the Bottle Again". This album gets right to the heart of Hooker's music and stays there. A blues-lover's delight. -Ted Drozdowski.
