Album Description "Live At Joe's" mostly smacks of 1950's style straight-ahead Chicago Blues. The "Live" points to the method of recording rather than the recording environment itself. Coleman wished to capture the live sound of his band with no overdubs, no multi-tracks, no slick production. His choice of material pays tribute to many of his musical heroes; the Legends Jacobs, Dixon, Waters, and Rogers. Newly offered are some fresh takes on several originals and several old favorites passed through Coleman's Blues filter. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsSolid effort from from Robert Lockwood harp player R. Weinstock | Falls Church, VA USA | 06/18/2002 (4 out of 5 stars) "Wallace Coleman was part of Robert Lockwood Jr.'s band through the sixties and until recently where his Little Walter inspired harp was a delight to those who caught him with Lockwood. There is nothing fancy about the music here as Coleman displays his stylistic indebtedness to Walter on a very nice programme of mostly classic blues including "Juke" "One More Chance With you," and "Tell me Mama" as well as songs associated with Jimmy Rogers "You're the One" and "My Last Wheel," and Muddy Waters "Young Fashioned Ways." Throw in a few originals including the slow "Hard Life" with some nice chromatic harp playing and the jazzy "Love Spell." and one gets a nicely sung and played set of performances that are centered on Coleman's very likeable, unforced vocals and fluid harp playing. The band provides a steady, swinging foundation. The guitarists get their solo spots but their playing does not intrude when Coleman is in the fore. Nothing startingly original here perhaps, but Coleman and band do a solid job in evoking the classic Chicago blues sound which certainly appeals to these ears and I know other ears as well."
