Amazon.com Coming from the people who brought you the excellent Blues Power: Songs of Eric Clapton, it's no surprise that this tribute (oops, the CD cover says, "This Ain't No Tribute," sorry) features a lot of the same musicians. This anthology is likely to upset purists, who may not actually want a Delta-style "When the Levee Breaks" (courtesy of Magic Slim), but check out that harp work from James Cotton on the more upbeat, Chicago version! And Alvin "Youngblood" Hart's take on "Heartbreaker" simply must be heard to be believed; ditto for what Chris Thomas King does with "Hey Hey What Can I Do." Meanwhile, "Rock 'n' Roll" proves that Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown really can do whatever he wants and get away with it. As was said before, Whole Lotta Blues will annoy Zeppelin purists. But blues fans oughta love it. --Genevieve Williams Similarly Requested CDs

Member CD Reviews Drew V. from POWNAL, ME Reviewed on 6/23/2007... This is the BMG release
CD ReviewsYou should listen to the blues 11/24/1999 (4 out of 5 stars) "I want to remind the reviewer that "When The Levee Breaks" was a delta blues song borrowed by Led Zeppelin, not the other way around. If you like Led Zeppelin, this is the music that inspired Jimmy Page, and this CD is a good way to begin to appreciate the real thing, if you don't already." Ye fans of the Zeppelin Led shouldst buye this recording 09/26/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "Cause its really good. Cause its like bluesy version of these songs the way they used to be before Zeppelinized (and in some cases the way they might have sounded if Zeppelin hadn't done them first). "Since I've Been Lovin' You" is a knockout bluesy bit of soulful R&B, all Hammond organ and whining in yer whiskey...sounding more like B.B. King's "The Thrill is Gone" than ever before. "I Can't Quite You Babe" has a helluva groove goin' for it. "Custard Pie part 2" and "Trampled Underfoot" are also really good. The only thing on this whole CD I didn't like was "Custard Pie part 1". This is a better "tribute" than Encomium and the Song retains the Name parts one and two. I have also heard HOB's "Paint it Blue" Stones Tribute, so when I read about "Whole Lotta Blues" on Amazon I pre-ordered it. Get you a pint of Jack and roll up a couple of numbers and play this one real loud. It's real good!"
