Let There Be Rock |
Back in
Black |
| My introduction
to AC DC came with the release of their second album Let There Be
Rock. What a great record, simple songs, electrifying, powerful, and exciting.
Their later albums offered a more polished sound, but the
simplicity of Let There Be Rock adds to its appeal, and
of the AC/DC albums we've heard we think this is among their
strongest output.
Certainly the title track is classic, and
the way guitarist Malcom Young incorporates the classic riff
of "Hot Rod Lincoln" in a totally new way is not
brilliant, but certainly enjoyable. Overall the whole album
offers a strong flow intermingling punk rock, heavy metal, and
blues.
The late Bon Scott was replaced by Brian Johnson ushering the new era
on Back in Black. |

10,000 Clowns on a Rainy Day |
Live |
|
Acclaimed
Holland guitarist Jan Akerman drifts from jazz to rock to
blues.
Some of his recordings are hard to come by.
However, his live two-disc, 10,000 Clowns on a Rainy Day, offers
a good value and is easy to track down.

Gold
Dreams |
Eat a Peach |
| The Allman Brothers Band's are clearly one of the
great successes in rock music. Through the years they have meshed
blues, country, and rock with an emphasis on jamming to the
delight of many satisfied fans.
If you are looking for an introduction to the
Allman Brothers Band, you can't go wrong with The
Allman Brothers Band Gold; two discs of studio material through the 1970's
and some great live tracks. Dreams is a good box-set
that also showcases some solo efforts by Gregg Allman and Dickey
Betts.
Eat a Peach is a classic. The Deluxe
Edition includes a second disc with a concert from 6/27/71,
highly recommended.

Guitar Legend:
The RCA Years |
The Early Years 1946-1957
|
|
Chet Atkins
style of playing is not
popular with the masses so he often gets overlooked, but his musical
abilities are no doubt
phenomenal and we consider him one of the best guitarist
players. Atkins' largest
influence came as a session musician and a record producer, and he is often credited with creating the Nashville sound. That's an
incredible accomplishment. Chet's recording career is as impressive an anybody's. A
great overview is his two disc release from RCA records.
Chet Atkins was
influenced by Django
Reinhardt. His earliest material makes it obvious.
However, he didn't just copy the riffs and personnel line-up.
Rather, he had his style to the guitar arrangements. As for
personnel, with the Colorado Mountain Boys he used a fiddle
player, but after that just on occasion. He also used
accordion and lots of mandolin.
Chet Atkins, The Early Years 1946-1957,
on the JSP label, covers quite a bit of material is very
reasonably priced. The release made his previous set, Galloping
Guitar: The Early Years, irrelevant as it includes all the
material on that plus another 40 or so songs for much less
money.
