Blues Bytes

January 2004
Volume 9, Number 1

Our reviewers submit their Top Ten (or Top Twelve or Top Thirteen) blues album lists for 2003. It's an annual tradition, and can be found in this month's Pick Hit.

The Holmes Brothers keep getting better with age. Their latest disc, Simple Truths, proves it. The CD on Alligator is our Surprise pick.

In this month's Flashback feature, we take a look at several re-issues in BMG - Bluebird's The Secret History of Rock and Roll series, with CDs from Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup, Sonny Boy Williamson, Blind Willie McTell, and an exciting collection of Alan Lomax field recordings.

This month's What's New section features reviews of new CDs from Bobby Rush, Delbert McClinton, Corey Harris, Kirk Fletcher, Sonny Boy Terry, Ana Popovic, Mick Minglewood, Duke Robillard, and more, plus a collection of "lost" live recordings from Maria Muldaur and a concert DVD from Billy Price.
