2010 three CD collection, an installment in the ever-popular Let Me Tell You About the Blues series. Throughout the late 1940s and 1950s, Nashville was the home of a thriving Blues and R&B recording industry. Principal among the labels were Bullet, Republic, Tennessee, Nashboro and Excello, with a welter of smaller ones such as World, Mecca, J-B and Cheker. This three disc set features 75 original Blues classics from these labels and more. Future Noise.
Given the strong association between country music and Nashville this three CD set in Fantastic Voyage's Let Me Tell You About The Blues series is perhaps the most unusual. But, when you consider the old blues fraternity consisted of a large number of itinerant performers, an enclave for the genre could have sprung up just about anywhere in the country. That said, the blues scene in Nashville developed in relative obscurity, at least until after the second world war. Beforehand, the larger record labels had despatched mobile recording units to the area but the onset of the Great Depression put a stop to the practice and, what few blues artists already populated the city were allowed to cultivate their style in isolation. Sadly, none of the pre-war recordings are included here.
Covering a relatively short timeframe of 1946-1959 the early Nashville blues sound was heavy on the piano – Cecil Gant, Wynonie Harris, Sherman Williams, Max Bailey – and supplemented by parping brass. As time progresses the electric guitar and harp come more to the fore – Eddie Jones, J.D. Horton, Robert Tucker, Arthur Gunter – but, in truth, there's little to distinguish Nashville blues from that of the more prominent blues cities - a little swing, a sprinkle of jazz and heavy on the boogie-woogie. It's only towards the latter end of the compilation that a more soulful element begins to appear, signalling the part the city would play in the growth of southern soul.
Even the subject matter sticks to the tried and tested, in turn extolling the virtues and condemning the effects of drink, drugs and the opposite sex. It's interesting to note Jack Daniels getting a namecheck in Cecil Gant's "Nashville Jumps", while Christine Kittrell highlights the unlikely subject of male impotence in "Old Man You're Slipping". But a regular occurrence throughout the series has been the candid nature of some of the lyrics which remain shocking even today. In "I'm Lucky With My Brown Gal", Sherman Williams bluntly expresses his opinion on the different shades of brown skin: "Chocolate is so evil. Yellow just won't do". !!!
Even though this Nashville edition confirms the blues from the region displayed very little in the way of unique variation from that of, say, Chicago or Memphis, the compilation proves to be one of the best in the series. "Sittin' Here Drinking", "Don't Let Daddy Slow Walk You Down", "Too Much", "Pipe Dreams", "If You See My Lover", "Beer Bottle Boogie", "Bullet Boogie" and "It Sure Costs Money To Live" are the pick of the bunch but, for something which sprawls over seventy-five tracks, the standard remains high throughout.
This is an excellent collection from some of the lesser known lights of the forties and fifties blues scene.
