Product Description

CD Description

While MUSICALLY RICH...AND FAMOUS documents the second halfof British blues godfather Alexis Korner's career, KORNERSTONED adopts a more comprehensive approach, following the pioneering singer/guitarist from the very beginning of his musical life, all the way through every subsequent phase of his development. So we get not only his mid-1960s work with burgeoning blues-rock giants like Paul Rodgers and Steve Marriott, but also his `50s skiffle recordings (basically the British version of jug-band music) with the Ken Colyer band and his own skiffle group, and even an early acoustic guitar duelwith famed fingerpicker Davey Graham on "3/4 A.D". Over thecourse of its two discs, this collection examines pretty much every aspect of this seminal bandleader's historic career.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Kornerstone of British blues finally given the CD treatment he deserves, 12 Jun 2008
By Victor Tugelbend (Hull, England) - See all my reviews
  
As a long time fan of the British blues movement (Paul Jones, Long John Baldry, Rolling Stones etc) I have always found it frustratingly hard to get hold of material by Alexis Korner, the man who can be credited with starting it all. Though he will probably be best remembered for the acts that he supported and helped to get going in the early days, he also left a superb recording legacy that should be just as celebrated.

With a distinctive gruff voice and guitar style This anthology covers a whole range of material, mixing blues with jazzier arrangements, and in later work with the CCS, big orchestral music. The highlight is the take on Led Zeppelin's 'Whole lotta love'. Anyone who watched Top Of the Pops in its hey day will instantly recognise this as the theme music. There are many other fine tracks here, a superb cover of the Stones 'Get offa my cloud' (after hearing it Keith Richards said 'we should have done it like that'), a great version of 'Hoochie Coocie man', and a whole plethora of standards given his distinctive treatment or fine originals.

This set does a fine job of collecting together the best and most important recordings of Alexis' career into one place. The remastering quality is pretty good throughout, the liner notes are very informative and the track listing is in a sensible chronological order. A very well put together set. My only trouble was that after listening to this I was left wanting so much more! Serious fans should note that as well as this collection a series of remastered Alexis Korner albums have now been released, so those wanting a bit more than a best of might wish to look ther instead.
