Why you'll love it...
The songs that populate Odetta and the Blues are 1920s blues and jazz standards sung by the likes of Bessie Smith, Gertrude “Ma” Rainey, Mississippi John Hurt, Leroy Carr and other titans of the time and genre. Most are traditional, unattributable to any one songwriter — but all are linked to Black musicians. In this way, the album feels like an important (and understandable) aspect of Odetta’s quest to show America the myriad ways this country’s music wouldn’t be what it is without Black Americans.

Odetta makes each track sound timeless and true, but also utterly, entirely her own. I think that’s the hallmark of a true and truly unique talent — and a sign that the artist in question understands the assignment, as it were: to find the throughlines between their perspective and the art itself; to preserve the original message and add one of your own, like a constructive game of Telephone. There’s an art to being a cover artist and an art to being an archivist.

The late '60s were a mixed bag for Muddy Waters. In 1969, Waters needed to pivot, and away from the longhairs. He made ‘Fathers and Sons’.

Why you'll love it...
Tennessee Woman is an undervalued Chicago blues masterpiece, a flawlessly executed showcase for Charlie Musselwhite’s unique blues harp sound, an album that perfectly meshed the urban, raucous sounds of Chicago electric blues of Musselwhite’s adult life and the down-home sound of the Memphis blues of his youth. Musselwhite never set out to be a musician; he just wanted to find a job in Chicago that would allow him some spending money to see the blues musicians he loved. When it came time to make his own records, all of Charlie Musselwhite went into Tennessee Woman, and you can hear it from the first notes.

Forget lightning in a bottle, we have Lightnin' on a vinyl! Recorded in New York in 1960 with famed producer Bobby Robinson, Mojo Hand is considered by many to be one of the finest blues records of all time. Since P-vine reissued it for the first time ever in 1983, word of the record’s quality quickly spread, with original copies now selling for thousands of dollars on the second hand market! Whether it’s the boogie of title song “Mojo Hand”, or the low and slow blues of “Have You Ever Loved a Woman”, the Lightnin’s acoustic blues is soulful. Don’t miss Mojo Hand, available for the first time ever on limited edition red vinyl with an obi-strip, only from P-vine Records.

The Jungle, regarded as one of the best of B.B. King's many albums, is being reissued on P-vine! Recorded in 1961-62, at the height of his career, and released on Kent after he moved to ABC, six R&B charting hits came from this album. All of the songs are superbly crafted, and are truly the king of the blues. Slow songs such as '5 Long Years' are typical of B.B.'s music of this era. You can't talk about B.B. King without listening to this album!

* Originally released in 1962 * Japanese OBI-strip * The jacket is reproduced based on the original edition Arthur 'Big Boy' Crudup was an American Delta blues songwriter and guitarist from Forest, Mississippi. He is best known, outside blues circles, for his song 'That's All Right' which was later recorded by Elvis Presley when he debuted in 1954. 'Mean Ol' Frisco' is his first solo album which was released in 1962 from Fire Records when he was 57 years old and there are no reissues on LP in recent years. As a pioneer of Japanese blues music, P-vine proudly presents this important album historically and musically with the artwork of the original edition!
