PRODUKTBESCHREIBUNGEN KURZBESCHREIBUNG This release is volume five of the re release of the iconic Matchbox Bluesmaster LP series from the 1980s with extensive notes from world authority on the blues, Paul Oliver. In any history of the blues the name of Blind Lemon Jefferson has to be prominent. The raw and uncompromising sounds of the rural blues were first brought before a large public beyond the milieu of the singer, with the records of Blind Lemon. Though guitars had been commercially made and soldfor some time, they became extremely popular at the close of the nineteenth century, and the young Stokes was probably attracted to the new instrument, rather than to the banjo which was going out of fashion. Blind Blake was one of Paramount' s best sellers, and his considerable output compared with those of Papa Charlie Jackson and Blind Lemon Jefferson. Of the three he was musically the most varied, and though each was a marked individualist, he was probably the more instrumentally accomplished. There are few blues singers as extensively recorded, as widely respected in his day, or as consistently good as Big Bill Broonzy - or Big Bill, as he was simply termed on his 78 rpm records. Though we know very little about the black string bands that were active in the South in the first half of the century, our knowledge would be even more limited were it not for the records of two bands. The Dallas String Band has been the subject of a former compilation, the other, the band known as the Mississippi Sheiks, which was much more extensively recorded, is introduced here. There has been no blues singer to compare with Lonnie Johnson for diversity of experience and breadth of respect. As a recording artist he was one of the most popular of bluesmen, making a vast number of albums. His importance as a blues artist is without question, not only as a singer and guitarist, but also as an influence on his contemporaries. REZENSION Volume Five is another example of Matchbox’s assiduous collecting policy in the 1980s which was to source chronological runs of an artist’s complete discography, contextualizing it, analyzing it, and subjecting it’s historical and biographical scrutiny… seen as a whole this remains a foundational reference point for the artists represented and for the genre as a whole. --musicweb-international.com, Jonathan Woolf Each album on its own is a wonderful listen; each of the 6 CD sets is amazing and the 7 sets make up a huge collection of early blues that give the listeners much to appreciate. Whether you are new to this music or a seasoned blues fan, these recordings are an amazing combination of music that can be enjoyed over and over again. The nuances and glimpses into what created our music over the years and up to today are here in these recordings. These bluesmasters gave us the roots of all of America’s popular music and having this huge collection to savor gives the listener a superb view of blues as it began to be put down on records. I most highly recommend these sets to new and old blues lovers. There is something on each CD for the listener to appreciate and the sets become a huge compendium of great music for the collections of listeners. --Blues Blast Magazine (Steve Jones - president of the Crossroads Blues Society USA) Here it is, box set no. 5 in this wonderful series, another six albums and 107 tracks of the very finest in recorded blues, hokum and gospel recorded between 1926 and 1932. Previous sets have included some fairly unknown artists, but this time we have some real nuggets of blues gold. First released on LP between 1982 and 1988, the wait for them to be available on CD has been worth it… Age has done little to diminish the quality of these performances. --Blues In Britain, Pete Clack
