4.0 out of 5 stars A fine collection of lesser-known material, 23 Aug 2004
By Docendo Discimus (Vita scholae) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This 20-track, 70-minute CD chronicles Big Bill Broonzy's recordings for the Mercury and Vogue labels.
The years 1949-51 (which are actually 1949 AND 1951, since Broonzy didn't record in 1950) fall in between his tough, band-backed Chicago recordings of the late 30s and early 40s and his days as the darling of the folk crowd in the 50s, and they have rarely been documented on CD, so this disc is a very welcome addition to Big Bill's catalogue.

"1949-1951" includes a dozen solo performances, a handful of band-backed numbers, and a few with just drummer Alfred Wallace for company. The sound is excellent, and Big Bill, in his fifites, was still in his prime when these sides were cut. His guitar playing has taken on strands of jazz and folk, but the material is still a lot more bluesy than his later recordings for Folkways etc., and "1949-1951" iuncludes songs like "The Moppin' Blues" (recorded by Muddy Waters as "Mopper's Blues"), "Hey Hey Baby" (called "Hey Hey" on Eric Clapton's "Unplugged" album), a stylish re-recording of "Keep Your Hands Off Her", and Big Bill's indictment of American racism, "Black, Brown And White".

A very nice, reasonably well-annotated collection which brings together a number of rarely heard and generally very good sides.
Big Bill-fans should get themselves a copy right away.
