T-Bone Walker • T-Bone Blues

AllMusic Review by Bill Dahl

The last truly indispensable disc of the great guitar hero's career, and perhaps the most innately satisfying of all, these mid-'50s recordings boast magnificent presence, with T-Bone Walker's axe so crisp and clear it seems as though he's sitting right next to you as he delivers a luxurious remake of "Call It Stormy Monday." Atlantic took some chances with Walker, dispatching him to Chicago for a 1955 date with Junior Wells and Jimmy Rogers that produced "Why Not" and "Papa Ain't Salty." Even better were the 1956-1957 L.A. dates that produced the scalding instrumental "Two Bones and a Pick" (which finds Walker dueling it out with nephew R.S. Rankin and jazzman Barney Kessel).

Revisión de AllMusic por Bill Dahl

El último disco verdaderamente indispensable de la carrera del gran guitarrista, y quizás el más satisfactorio de todos, estas grabaciones de mediados de los 50 cuentan con una magnífica presencia, con el hacha de T-Bone Walker tan nítida y clara que parece como si estuviera sentado a tu lado mientras entrega un lujoso remake de "Call It Stormy Monday". Atlantic se arriesgó con Walker, enviándolo a Chicago para una cita en 1955 con Junior Wells y Jimmy Rogers que produjo "Why Not" y "Papa Ain't Salty". Mejor aún fueron las fechas de 1956-1957 en Los Ángeles que produjeron el ardiente instrumental "Two Bones and a Pick" (que encuentra a Walker en un duelo con su sobrino R.S. Rankin y el jazzista Barney Kessel).
