Little Willie Littlefield - Boogie, Blues And Bounce:The Modern Recordings Vol 2 (CD)
€7,50Album Description:
Here at last is the companion volume to Kat On The Key, featuring the rest of Little Willie Littlefield’s excellent Modern Records repertoire from the late 1940s and early 1950s.
A boogie piano prodigy, the teenage Littlefield was one of Modern’s most important signings and as the title implies, this CD displays every facet of his talent as a singer and piano pounder.
Package includes the remaining sides originally issued on Modern 78s, plus a massive 14 previously-unissued masters and/or rehearsal demos featuring just LWL and his piano. Several of these have only been discovered in the last six months.
All tracks remastered from the original Modern Records acetates for optimum sound quality. Another worthy addition to Ace’s ever-expanding catalogue of post-WWII Rhythm & Blues.

Heavy Trash - Same (CD)
€5,00”Heavy Trash, the band and the album, is a collaboration between Jon Spencer and Matt Verta-Ray. In their day jobs they are purveyors of punk-blues in Blues Explosion and Speedball Baby, respectively. Anyone expecting their collaboration to sound much like either of their groups is in for a bit of a jolt. Not that it is a million miles from the sounds they are known for since you still get Spencer’s instantly recognizable yelping vocals as well as loads of exciting, stripped-down and hooky songs that carry quite a punch. What is different is that they are working the rockabilly and early rock side of the street. Tracks like ”The Loveless,” ”Dark Hair’d Rider” and ”This Day Is Mine” kick up some serious duck-tailed dust, ”The Hump” and ”Justine Alright” are crazed handclapping, shouted chorus rockers, and the hip-shaking ”Gatorade” sounds like it was recorded at a party in Hasil Adkins’ backyard. The tracks that scale back the excitement are very good too; ”Fix These Blues” is a pedal-steeled country ballad, ”Take My Hand,” a doo-wopping lament complete with a spoken interlude and ”Under the Waves,” a moody, highly arranged murder ballad that might be the best track on the album. Only ”Mr. K.I.A.” doesn’t work, as it brings in some hip-hop influences and is too repetitive and, well, modern-sounding. Spencer is in top form throughout, dropping hilarious asides, hiccupping and whooping, crooning and howling like an unholy blend of Elvis, Gene Vincent and Lux Interior. He and Verta-Ray create a sound that is warm, rich and live, layering acoustic and electric guitars, percussion and Christina Campenella’s sultry backing vocals into a rollicking, thrilling modern rockabilly record that puts everyone who has attempted such an enterprise since Songs the Lord Taught Us to shame. So many times with side projects like this the parting words are ”don’t quit your day job,” in this case both men could easily do so because Heavy Trash is just as good if not better than their main projects. ~ Tim Sendra, All Music Guide”
