Synopsis

Album Description

On their new Alligator album, Rattleshake, Lil' Ed's romping, sizzling guitar and his rough-hewn vocals, his half-brother James "Pookie" Young's thumping bass, Mike Garrett's feral rhythm guitar and Kelly Littleton's unpredictable yet bone-crunching drumming produce a modern blues firestorm steeped in tradition. Produced by Alligator president Bruce Iglauer and Williams, Rattleshake features 13 houserocking songs, and captures all of Lil' Ed and The Blues Imperials' legendary live energy on disc. The variety on the CD, from stomping, houserocking slide workouts, to deep, slow blues, to blues-ified country, makes this the most rewarding and soul-satisfying album the band has ever recorded.

CD Reviews

Alligator Records Does it Again

stan25 | Riverton Wyoming | 07/01/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I received my copy of Lil Ed & The Blues Imperials, Rattleshake. Man it blows me out of my seat. I have so far played it through three times. It keeps on getting better and better. The play list is superb; a mixture of jump, some slow classic delta, Hank Williams style country, a little bit of Texas Gulf Coast and Chicago style blues.

The seventh track "Tramp on Your Street" is one of those slow mellow, lay in front of a roaring fireplace on cold winter's evening, sipping wine with your significant other, A song that come out every once in awhile. This track along with the second track "Tired of Crying" are two of the best."

Better all the time!

"I've been listening to Lil' Ed for more than 20 years. I have his work from vinyl up through this latest release. I first saw him live--amazingly live!--in 1987, at a Blues, Brews, and Barbecue show on a boat moored in the Mississippi River in St. Louis. I saw him again in the mid-1990s in Eugene, Oregon, when he blew the doors off the Good Times. This new CD shows him still driving harder than anyone around (with the possible exception of Magic Slim). His voice is excellent, the songs are strong, and his guitar work has never sounded more energetic. The torch carried by Elmore James, Hound Dog Taylor, and J. B. Hutto is in excellent hands!"
