"Complete Goin' to Chicago and Listen to the Blues" (04/04/2006) Blues Rushing, Jimmy, LonehillNearly as wide as he was tall, Jimmy Rushing had a voice that could boom, and he more than held his own against the horn section during his long association with Count Basie's orchestra, and that Basie period (from the late '30s to the early '50s) has to be considered the peak of Rushing's recorded output. But that shouldn't stop anyone from checking out Rushing's later work, and this set, drawn from sessions held in New York in 1954, 1955, and 1957, is a perfect example of this fine singer's assured vocal style, which bridged the gaps between the blues, swing jazz, and R&B with seemingly effortless ease. Working with an all-star swing band that included Buddy Tate, Emmett Berry, Lawrence Brown, Vic Dickenson, Sammy Price, Freddie Green, Walter Page, and Jo Jones, Rushing rolls through a classic set featuring impressive versions of Leroy Carr's "How Long," his signature tune, "Goin' to Chicago," a tender "See See Rider" (where most singers would belt this chestnut out, Rushing gives it a veneer of sweetness), and the lovely ballad "Don't Cry Baby." The band itself plays it all swing, with just a touch of jump blues and R&B attitude, but it is Rushing's singing that holds it all together, his vocals again sitting at the juncture of all these different musical streams as effortlessly as a cork rides out a rainstorm. ~ Steve Leggett

"Complete Goin' to Chicago and Listen to the Blues" (02/28/2006) Blues Rushing, Jimmy, Lone Hill Jazz (Spain)Contains the complete albums: GOIN' TO CHICAGO (1955) / LISTEN TO THE BLUES (1957).

"Listen Up" (12/15/1993) Blues Dyer, Johnny, Black Top (USA)Personnel includes: Johnny Dyer (harmonica); Rick Holmstrom (guitar). Johnny Dyer, partner Rick "L.A. Holmes" Holmstrom and the rest of the corps kickstart with hard, swinging West Coast blues, and even the slower numbers never lose their edge. Dyer shows blues as a truly living art form, integrating his Mississippi roots with steamy urbanite ramblings as a longtime Angeleno. Although 20-something at the time of recording, Holmstrom displays a light-years-ahead maturity on guitar, balancing brilliant playing and sharing space with Dyer and the bandmates. While raving over Dyer and Holmstrom, listen for Mighty Flyer Jimi Bott's puncuated drum patterns, which equally deserve praise. ~ Char Ham
