Gritty!,
By
This review is from: Jb Hutto Live 1977 (Audio CD)
Two years after the death of slide guitarist Hound Dog Taylor, his old backing band the Houserockers, with the addition of bassist Mark Harris and piano player Mike Allen, recorded this raw live set with another Elmore James-disciple, the great J.B. Hutto.Cut in Beverly, Massachussetts in the summer of 1977, "J.B. Hutto And The Houserockers Live" is not excactly a polished performance, but it certainly has lots of grit and lots of feeling. Opening with a rocking instrumental built around Elmore James' legendary "Dust My Broom"-riff, this album features a rare lead vocal from Brewer Phillips on "You Don't Have To Go", and rocking live versions of J.B. Hutto's own "Hip Shakin'" and "Too Much Alcohol", as well as raw and steamy takes on Rufus Thomas' classic "Walking The Dog", Tampa Red's "Don't You Lie To Me", Big Maceo Merriweather's "Worried Life Blues", and an idiosyncratic but powerful rendition of Howlin' Wolf's best song, the thundering steam engine "Killing Floor". The sound is not magnificent, but it is surprisingly good considering that these performances were recorded on a cassette deck with two microphones, and the sheet metal scream of Hutto's and Brewer Phillips' Telecasters cuts through the murkiest of mixes!

Let me tell you why this music is great...,

This review is from: Jb Hutto Live 1977 (Audio CD)
There's a lot of polished studio music out there. Recording technology can make a diva out of anyone. But music is a human art and people are all sorts of screwed up - why should our music be any different?To say that J.B. Hutto and the Houserockers are a little rough around the edges may be an understatement. But they are also soulful badasses who knew how to entertain a late-night crowd. Some adjectives that are cliche whenever Hutto is discussed: raw, steamy, dirty... You know that old pickup your Grandpa had that was rusty and filthy and the seatbelts had long since been abandoned? Not worthy a penny on resale but beautiful in its own special way? Yeah. Shores |
