Black Ace

I AM THE BOSS CARD IN YOUR HAND

Arhoolie    1961 / 1992

Notes: "Black Ace (B.K. Turner) was a great Texas Blues Singer and one of the few exponents of the flat Hawaiian guitar blues style to have been recorded.  This CD contains almost his entire recorded legacy."

Ernestine Anderson

WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN

Anderson(vocals), Brown(bass), Harris(piano), Holloway(Tenor sax), King(drums)
Concord Jazz  1985

Notes: "What we have here is proof--for proof was never needed--but a soulful reminder that among her many gifts, Ernestine Anderson has more that a mere penchant for the blues.  She has a deep-down, abiding love for it--which is precisely the feeling I have about this album."  Leonard Feather
