before 1959

An architect of Chicago blues' West Side sound, whose style combined broodingly intense vocals and sweet, stinging guitar solos.
Otis Rush
I Can't Quit You Baby  (Willie Dixon)
Groaning the Blues (Willie Dixon)
Love That Woman (Lafayette Leake)
Double Trouble (Otis Rush)
from The Complete Classic Cobra Recordings 1956-1958
The title says it all. This is the essential Otis Rush, the singles recorded for Eli Toscano's Cobra label between 1956 and 1958. If Rush had never recorded another note, his legendary status would remain intact based solely on these recordings. Backed by players like Willie Dixon and Little Walter, it's Rush's impassioned vocals and stinging guitar lines that make "I Can't Quit You Baby," "All Your Love (I Miss Loving)," and "Double Trouble" the classics they are. In addition to the A- and B-sides of all eight singles released by Cobra, eight alternate takes are included, four more than the Paula edition of this material released in 1991. Along with a slightly better transfer from the original tapes, this is not only one of the best places to start for someone getting interested in the blues, but a vital part of any blues collection. Outstanding.

Prolific and widely known flutist, beloved in jazz circles, has covered many world music styles.
Herbie Mann
Minor Groove
Blue Dip
Jumpin' With Symphony Sid (Lester Young)
from Just Wailin' 1958
This recording emphasizes (although does not stick exclusively to) the blues. The sextet has impressive players (flutist Herbie Mann, Charlie Rouse on tenor, guitarist Kenny Burrell, pianist Mal Waldron, bassist George Joyner and drummer Art Taylor) and the material (originals by Waldron, Burrell and Calvin Massey in addition to a brief "Jumpin' With Symphony Sid") is reasonably challenging but the musicians never really come together as a group. The straightahead jam session has its strong moments and, as long as one keeps their expectations low, the music will be enjoyable despite the lack of major sparks.

1959-1962

Prolific and widely known flutist, beloved in jazz circles, has covered many world music styles. Herbie Mann played a wide variety of music throughout his career. He became quite popular in the 1960s, but in the '70s became so immersed in pop and various types of world music that he seemed lost to jazz. However, Mann never lost his ability to improvise creatively as his later recordings attest.

Herbie Mann 

Old Honkie Tonk Piano Roll Blues 4:45
Minor Groove 7:36

from The Complete Recordings: 1958-1962

Starting his career as a practitioner of cool jazz and bop, Herbie Mann was one of the first musicians to embrace world influences into his sound. Incorporating the rhythms and melodies of Cuba, Africa, and South America, as well as the Middle and Far East, into his work, Mann was also known for his high-profile collaborations, appearing alongside the likes of Art Blakey, Chet Baker, Sarah Vaughan and numerous others...

...Hamburg was the Beatles' baptism by fire. Playing grueling sessions for hours on end in one of the most notorious red-light districts in the world, the group was forced to expand its repertoire, tighten up its chops, and invest its show with enough manic energy to keep the rowdy crowds satisfied. When they returned to Liverpool at the end of 1960, the band -- formerly also-rans on the exploding Liverpudlian "beat" scene -- were suddenly the most exciting act on the local circuit. They consolidated their following in 1961 with constant gigging in the Merseyside area, most often at the legendary Cavern Club, the incubator of the Merseybeat sound...

The Beatles

Ain't She Sweet [U.S. Version] 2:15

Cry for a Shadow (George Harrison / John Lennon) 2:23

from The Beatles with Tony Sheridan: First Recordings

The Beatles entered a recording studio for the first time 50 years ago, in 1961. It wasn’t actually the group’s gig, since they were essentially the backing band for singer Tony Sheridan, but the way recording was done at the session and at a second session in 1962, with instrumental parts laid down first and vocals added later, it’s possible to catch a faint, nascent glimpse of the international pop phenomenon the Beatles would become a couple years down the road. Orchestral big-band leader Bert Kaempfert had discovered the group playing in a German nightclub, signed them to a recording contract, paired them with Sheridan in the studio, and then released the songs through Polydor Records in Germany in 1961 and 1962. These early tracks have been released multiple times over the years in both mono and stereo mixes (with reverb added), and this set from Time Life Music includes both versions. Everything’s here, really, kind of frozen in time, since the original tapes were lost in a fire at Kaempfert's warehouse in the early '70s. Sheridan handles almost all of the vocals, and there are only two tracks without him, a version of John Lennon singing “Ain’t She Sweet” and an early George Harrison instrumental called “Cry for a Shadow,” both of which are featured here in mono, stereo, and medley versions.... Everything has a beginning. This two-disc set collects the earliest recordings of perhaps the most important recording act in pop music history. That’s the story, and the rest is history.

Rock & roll's prime innovator, thanks to his detailed songwriting, dazzling lyrics, and clear, economical guitar licks.

Chuck Berry 

I'm Talking About You (Chuck Berry) 1:48

Thirteen Question Method (Chuck Berry) 2:13

from New Juke Box Hits 1961

Chuck Berry's fifth Chess Records album, New Juke Box Hits, was recorded and released in the midst of the legal difficulties that would put him in jail the following year. That distraction seems to have kept him from composing top-flight material, while the attendant publicity adversely affected his record sales, such that the album contained no hits. The included single was "I'm Talking About You," later successfully recorded by the Rolling Stones, and the album also contained "The Thirteen Question Method" and "Don't You Lie to Me," worthy minor entries in the Berry canon. Elsewhere, Berry filled out the record covering others' hits -- Nat "King" Cole's "Route 66," B.B. King's "Sweet Sixteen," Little Richard's "Rip It Up." The result is a good rock & roll set, but not in the same league with Berry's earlier albums.

Calypso Legends
Macbeth the Great
Buy Me a Zeppelin 2:24
Take Me Take Me 2:55
Mighty Panther
Zoop Zoop Zoop 2:55
from 1953 - 1956
Calypso is a style of Afro-Caribbean music that originated in Trinidad and Tobago during the early to mid-19th century and eventually spread to the rest of the Caribbean Antilles and Venezuela by the mid-20th century. Its rhythms can be traced back to West African Kaiso and the arrival of French planters and their slaves from the French Antilles in the 18th century.

A music and film icon whose natural blend of country, pop, and R&B sold millions and became the cornerstone of rock & roll. Elvis Presley may be the single most important figure in American 20th century popular music. Not necessarily the best, and certainly not the most consistent. But no one could argue with the fact that he was the musician most responsible for popularizing rock & roll on an international level. Viewed in cold sales figures, his impact was phenomenal. Dozens upon dozens of international smashes from the mid-'50s to the mid-'70s, as well as the steady sales of his catalog and reissues since his death in 1977, may make him the single highest-selling performer in history.
Elvis Presley
My Happiness (Acetate – Personal Recording) 2:30
Mystery Train 2:29
How Do You Think I Feel? (Guitar Tape Slapback Rehearsals) 4:22
...via Scotty Moore's guitar slapback tape...
from The Complete Works 1953-1955 - Memphis Recording Service (MRS)
It has been more than a decade since Pirzada’s ground breaking (and more expensive) books, co-written with John Michael Heath, Elvis Presley Memphis Recording Service Volume 1 1953-1954 and Memphis Recording Service Volume 2 – 1955 The Rise of Elvis Presley. Some may view ‘Elvis Presley The Complete Works 1953-1955’ as a pared down version of these earlier releases but nevertheless is a still highly enjoyable and valuable offering from MRS. The fact that Pirzada's earlier books are sold-out and hard to find is another good reason for this new MRS volume examining Elvis' early work.

Regarded as the last of the great Chicago harmonica players, he was an impressive stylist and a leading practitioner of postwar blues harmonica. 
Junior Wells
Hoodoo Man (Junior Wells) feat, Elmore James 3:08
Junior's Wail (Junior Wells) 2:55
Lord, Lord (Junior Wells) feat. Willie Dixon, Muddy Waters, Otis Spann  2:42
So All Alone (Junior Wells) feat. Willie Dixon, Muddy Waters, Otis Spann 3:22
from Blues Hit Big Town,
the 1953-54 Recordings
This collection of Wells' debut recordings for the States label adds four previously unheard tracks along with the original 13-track vinyl lineup. Wells' legacy begins with these landmark sides, featuring Elmore James, Muddy Waters, Johnnie Jones, Otis Spann, Willie Dixon, and the Aces in the lineup at various points. Whether it's a slow one like his original take on "Hoodoo Man" or a jump number like "Cut That Out," the grooves are classic Chicago and a mile deep. Most telling are the acoustic duets with Louis Myers recorded between the 1953 and 1954 studio sessions and the fine instrumentals like "Junior's Wail" and "Eagle Rock." Although at the start of a long career, it's obvious that Junior Wells was already a young man with a style all his own, ready to make blues history. File under essential.
