blues and boogie woogie.You could post them at your work or at your supermarket, paper your
bathroom wall, hand them out, use them for target practice or

Ann Rabson albums
(Click on images for details and sound clips."Pic of Struttin' My Stuff album cover."Included are Annie's Blues, Don't Treat Your Man Like a Dog,
Don't You Tell Me, Elevator Man, Hopin' It'll Be All Right,
I Haven't Got a Clue, Music Makin' Mama, Prove Me Wrong,
Rocket Ship Blues, Serial Love, Tomcat Blues,
You Better Fly Right, and
You'll Never Get Me Out of Your Mind.I've tried to find ones that are available (what's the point if you can't get them?I'm horrified that there are no women piano players on my
list of 10, except for one song.Mary Lou Williams (in her Boogie days) and Georgia
White.My folks had 78s of them.The women players' work that's still
available has them buried in bands, so they don't make the cut.This would be my recommended 10."King of Chicago Blues Piano" (Arhoolie) A must!Worried
Life Blues to Chicago Breakdown and every single note in between is
golden."Walkin' the Blues" (Candid) Everyone's
hero.If you want to start with one, you might
want to start with the 3rd volume.My favorite is "Live At The DC
Blues Society" on Mapleshade, where he is solo, but this is no
longer available."Lucky Man" (Blind Pig)
Henry makes deep blues completely unfettered by those mundane
musical rules."Lonesome" (Drive Archive)
I love this album.Just started collecting them for a lark.This is what accompaniment should be.It's a big, beautiful piano world out there!Whenever I hear Erwin play his charming composition
"Pooch Piddle," I think, for some reason, how nifty it would sound played
by a Mariachi band.Another original, "Stella," which is a moving tribute
to Estella "Ma" Yancey, is a lovely duet with saxophonist John Brumbach,
whose soulful, tender playing graces four tracks.Other than that, the CD
is ALL Erwin's superb piano.He starts with his take on the rollicking Pete
Johnson classic "Swanee River Boogie."There are no
duds here.The
recording quality is really excellent.Unfortunately, you probably won't
find this CD at your local mall, but you can get it from Erwin if you're
lucky enough to catch him live.You can get it at the big Tower store on
Clark in Chicago, or from Amazon.I'm
guessing you do, too.After all, I work a lot in a band with BLUES as our
middle name (well, kind of near the end, but you know what I mean).It's an bunch of fans, artists, and people involved
with all aspects of the blues.SAFFIRE has been, too and Saffire's
own Gaye Adegbalola won Song of the Year one year for her popular
composition "Middle Aged Blues Boogie" (which everyone knows as "Young
Young Man").You have first chance for tickets to the Blues
Music Awards
