Review Takoma Eclectic Sampler Vol.1 / 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 Folk Blues [Us Import] / Muddy Waters:It's hard to talk about Muddy Waters without resorting to superlatives. While the songs on Real Folk Blues can be described as standard blues-and over the years, many of them became blues standards-Muddy Waters simply did them the best. Maybe it's that there's never a note out of place, yet Muddy makes it sound easy; or maybe it's that baritone voice. Or maybe it's the magical pairing of Muddy the player and Willie Dixon the songwriter, which produced "Mannish Boy," "Walking Blues," "Same Thing," and more. Whatever it is, it's on this album-blues music so real you can taste it. -Genevieve Williams.
