Performer: Various Artists
Producer: Robert G. Koester (Compilation); Steve Wagner (Compilation) Distributor: City Hall Notes: To celebrate their 55th anniversary, the Delmark label put together 55 YEARS OF BLUES, a compilation that features some of the all-time Chicago blues greats. Included on the CD are icons Junior Wells, Otis Rush, and Magic Sam, among others, who virtually defined the electric Chicago sound of the 1960s. The set also comes with a bonus DVD of promotional Delmark videos from the likes of Little Arthur and Dave Specter. Also included on the DVD is footage from Delmark's 55th anniversary party, featuring live performances from Delmark artists. Delmark Records is more than an institution in the jazz and blues world. Founder and owner Bob Koester celebrated 55 years by issuing two collections of seminal blues and jazz recordings by artists across the spectrum of both genres. This double disc contains a CD with 17 cuts by legends and obscurities in the blues field: the late Junior Wells, Magic Sam, Syl Johnson, Roosevelt Sykes, Sleepy John Estes, J.B. Hutto, and Jimmy Dawkins are a few of the legends this set features. Add to this a killer little DVD of performances and recording studio footage from the likes of Carey and Lurrie Bell (separately), Byther Smith, and Tail Dragger, among others, and you have a terrific package that's made all the more so by a killer price point. ~ Thom Jurek
