BB King — Completely Well ... CD 11.99
BB King soars into the 70s with this smoking little set – a record that still holds onto all the raw energy of his best 60s recordings, but which also gives the whole thing an even more soulful focus too! There's no arranger credited for the core of the record – which is attributed to "everybody" in the group, which you can definitely hear in the wickedly spontaneous playing of the combo – especially the mighty drummer Herbie Lovelle, whose work here really gives King a new sort of kick. Bert DeCoteaux adds a bit of larger backings at points, but usually very gently – in ways that are hardly noticeable at all – as BB's guitar is right out front, wailing with lots of raw energy. Titles include "Key To My Kingdom", "Confessin The Blues", "No Good", "You're Losing Me", "So Excited", and the classic "Thrill Is Gone".  © 1996-2025, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Very Good

  • Vinyl can have some dirt, but nothing major.
  • May not shine under light, but should still be pretty clean, and not too dirty.
  • May have a number of marks (5 to 10 at most), and obvious signs of play, but never a big cluster of them, or any major mark that would be very deep. Most marks should still not click under a fingernail.
  • May not look near perfect, but should play fairly well, with slight surface noise, and the occasional click in part of a song, but never throughout a whole song or more.
  • This is clearly a copy that was played by someone a number of times, but which could also be a good "play copy" for someone new.

Condition Notes

If something is relevant, we try to describe it in the notes — especially if it is release or pressing details, or an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

(Early 80s issue. Includes the insert. Cover looks nice, with minimal wear.) LP, Vinyl record album

T Bone Walker

Funky Town
Bluesway/ABC, Late 60s. Very Good+
Not as all-out funky as some of the funky blues albums on Chess at the time – but still nicely funky, and a very different album than usual for T Bone! The record has Walker's vocals and guitar backed by some larger arrangements that have a nice little bounce – lots of electric bass ... LP, Vinyl record album

Eddie Cleanhead Vinson

Cherry Red
Bluesway, Late 60s. Very Good+
Eddie makes a nice little comeback here – singing in a style that's perhaps a bit rootsier than some of his classic sides, which actually had him working in a more sophisticated jazzy style – but which are still pretty nice, thanks to some good hard soul production. Titles include ... LP, Vinyl record album

Muddy Waters

At Newport 1960
Chess, 1960. Sealed
Muddy Waters makes a classic appearance at the Newport Jazz Festival – playing a folksy set of blues in the years before the festival had turned more strongly towards that sort of music! The performance is surprisingly well-recorded – at a level that's similar to Waters' earlier studio ... LP, Vinyl record album

Earl King & Roomful Of Blues

Glazed
Black Top, 1987. Near Mint-
The legendary Earl King gets support here from Roomful Of Blues – who do more than enough of a respectful job to let the man do his thing in the lead! Titles include "Iron Cupid", "I Met A Stranger", "Those Lonely Lonely Nights", "One Step Beyond Love" ... LP, Vinyl record album
Nighthawk, Late 40s/Early 50s. Near Mint-
Great work from the Chicago blues underground – rare tracks pulled from a time before labels like Chess and Vee Jay handled most of the big artists, and talents were spread between a handful of much smaller indies! The music here marks that key Chicago transition from rural to urban – ... LP, Vinyl record album

Includes tracks from Howlin Wolf, Eddie Taylor, Jimmy Reed, Tampa Red, Curtis Jones, Grace Brim, JB Hutto, and more. LP, Vinyl record album

Big Jack Johnson

Oil Man
Earwig, 1987. Near Mint-
Jack Johnson plays lots of mean guitar here – in a quartet that features Frank Frost on piano, instead of the guitar you might know from his earliest material! LP, Vinyl record album
Chess, Mid 60s. Very Good+ 2LP Gatefold
Is it Fulsom or Fulson? We're not going to try and present ourselves as the authority, but what we can tell you is this collection features 27 tracks from the man, mostly raw blues, though a number of cuts are more produced, with full horn section and piano complementing Fulsom's guitar and vocals ... LP, Vinyl record album

Blind Boy Fuller

Truckin My Blues Away
Yazoo, Late 30s. Near Mint-
A great little record from Yazoo – almost worth the price alone for the great Robert Crumb cover art – but a real treasure considering the vintage recordings by Blind Boy Fuller underneath! The set brings together Fuller recordings from the years 1936 to 1939 – surprisingly well-r ... LP, Vinyl record album
Mississippi, Late 60s/Early 70s/Early 90s. Near Mint-
A great mix of vintage and later work from Abner Jay – a unique one man band in the best rural blues tradition of the south – and who, like some of the best, doesn't ever use his multi-instrument talent as a gimmick! Instead, Jay works here in a mode that's like a stripped-down combo, ... LP, Vinyl record album
