Fine Imperial sides 21 Jan 2004
By Docendo Discimus TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD
Not quite as seminal as "The Complete Capitol/Black & White Recordings", this is nervetheless an excellent collection of T-Bone Walker's 52 sides recorded for Lew Chudd's Imperial Records.

Unlike the Capitol and Black & White-waxings, this double-disc set features almost no alternate takes, just the masters, a couple of 78 versions, and a few alternates that have been chosen over the originally preferred renditions.
And there is plenty of great stuff here...no "Mean Old World" or "Stormy Monday", but a lot of excellent songs like "Glamour Girl", "The Hustle Is On", "Tell Me What's The Reason", "I'm About To Lose My Mind", "Cold, Cold Feeling," and the classic instrumental "Strollin' With Bones".

This music is not meant to be listened to in one long sitting, obviously...even lead guitar innovator Walker's smoky, jazz-flavoured blues isn't quite varied enough for that. But these 136 minutes of music is still a very fine collection, and a great tribute to the most influential electric guitar player of all time, the idiom's first true lead guitarist, and still one of it's best.

Wow! How I have I managed to "miss" this guy for so long?
I think it is partly because previous articles or reviews of his work tended to talk about his work in terms of "Texas blues", "smoky blues", "jump blues", "late night blues" or "jazz blues", as if it were some sort of lesser variety. In fact, if you have a feeling for "The Blues" of any sort, you will love this. Great blues songs sung by a great singer, and exquisite guitar playing that showcases his talent but which doesn't get in the way of the music or the other musicians.

All in all, this is an essential purchase.
