Music reviews of Stompin' at Mother Blues
Music Review: ***1/2. A nice addition to J.B. Hutto's legacy
Rating: 4 Stars
This 2004 CD brings together two sessions recorded by J.B. Hutto in 1966 and 1972 respectively (and only the first one is taped at "Mother Blues", a now-defunct Chicago blues club).
It is not a live album, despite the title; rather it is an interesting collection of mostly unreleased material. Only "Hawk Squat" and "Love Retirement" have been available before the release of this album, but "Stompin' at Mother Blues" is not a bunch of third-rate scrapings from the bottom of the barrel...there are several fine moments here, and Hutto's ragged, explosive slide runs are as gritty as ever.
"Stompin'" mixes up-tempo rockers with slow, smouldering blues, and the highlights include "Evening Train", the mid-tempo grind of "Ain't It A Cryin' Shame", a driving "When I Get Drunk", and the ragged, gut-bucket "Alchohol Blues". And "Hip Shakin'", of course, but we already know that one.
The tough, syncopated instrumental "Stompin' At Mother Blues" is about as subtle as anything Hutto ever recorded, and you can actually understand what he is singing on the shuffling "Lonely Heartaches"!
This album is not as essential as "Hawk Squat" or "Masters Of Modern Blues", but fans of J.B. Hutto will definitely want to pick it up.
3 1/2 stars. Nice.

Description of Stompin' at Mother Blues
The material on this CD was taken from a 1966 session and a 1972 session where master of the slide guitar J. B. Hutto's second Delmark album Slidewinder came from. The '66 session was recorded at Mother Blues, a defunct blues club in Chicago's Old Town section, though not in front of a live audience. Only one of the 12 tracks has ever been issued, and the song Hip Shakin' appeared on Hawk Squat - now all 12 songs appear together. J. B. is backed by Herman Hassell on second guitar and Frank Kirkland on drums. 3 previously unissued songs and alternate takes are added from the '72 session with Lee Jackson on second guitar, Elbert Buckner on bass and Bombay Carter on drums. A full hour of stinging Chicago blues!Blues CDs
