Blues Band - Best of - Double CD
About the Artist
When the Blues Band got together in 1979, they caused a sensation that astonished both group and record industry. Fans flocked to hear Paul Jones, Tom McGuinness and pals playing R&B favourites with all the enthusiasm inherited from their former Manfred Mann days in the 1960s.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful collection
Can't stop playing this CD. Every song is a belter
5.0 out of 5 stars Worth every penny
After seeing The Blues Band live in Chesterfield a few weeks ago i thought how have i not got anything by them on CD (I had only borrowed the "Homage" CD before). I bought the "Few short Lines" CD on the night which only left me wanting more.So a quick look on Bolo and blimey for less than a tenner I've now got an amazing 41 track overview of the band. Just a mention of a couple of standout tracks the version of Dylans "Maggies Farm" is brilliant and "Half the man(twice the fool)"is equally brilliant. As well as Paul Jones excellent harmonica I like the way the other band members share the vocals, I feel this adds to the all round feel of this compelation. The package also contains a very good potted history of the band.To sum up if you are into the blues you just cannot go wrong.

The Blues Band appeared at the Exeter Corn Exchange and they were very good, despite having been on the stage for over 30 years, and Paul Jones was as good as ever. Quote )my own) review: ' For the penultimate number on the first set Kelly broke into Elmore James / Robert Johnson's 'Dust My Blues', a song that was given a new lease life in the 1960s by Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac. Jones gave a memorable performance on wailing harmonica and Kelly reminisced of how he had the honour to play with blues-men Freddy King and Howling Wolf at the Manchester Free Trade Hall in 1969 when tickets cost 12 shilling and six pence!They finished the first set with the title track from a Jones' CD, Paul quipping, “The album is called 'Suddenly I Like It', and gradually you will too – not too gradually I hope.” He stated it included amazing performances by pianist Jools Holland and American blues-guitar prodigy Joe Bonamassa.After a 20 minute interval they cracked into 'Say You Will', on 'the thorny topic of mature relationships', with Fletcher on ukulele. 'Some Day Baby' followed featuring guest Ray Beavis on tenor saxophone. D.K. remarked that they had first played with Beavis at the Town and Country Club in 1991! Paul Jones then led on 'The Bad Boy' that he deemed 'semi-autobiographical', probably reflecting the time before he converted to Christianity in the mid-eighties. The r&b standard 'Hallelujah, I Love Her So' followed. During the concert Jones revealed an amazing talent for engaging the audience and in recreating the authentic tones of the Deep South. McGuinness played lead on 'Rain Keep Falling', with brief solos from Fletcher and Townshend, before he mimicked the whole Hendrix shabang of playing guitar behind his head for a number of verses, alternating phrases with Beavis's saxophone.Jones remarked they were 'impressed by the audiences impeccable taste', then ending with a slow tempo version of Chuck Berry's 'Little Queenie', D.K. hamming the words to the third verse. After leaving the stage, much applause led to an encore of the Ray Charles / Louis Jordan standard 'Let the Good Times Roll'. God bless them all. This is an excellent double CD and worth every penny - if you like the Blues!
5.0 out of 5 stars great blues and rhythm and blues.
a really good album. this is paul jones at his best in his days after his manfred mann the best manfred frontman.this is Paul with a truly great voice for blues etc.thank you. mick cousins.
5.0 out of 5 stars A great addition to my collection
A great addition to my collection. A fine group of musicians playing and singing great songs. A good live act to see.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent buy at a great value
Superb album and what a lot of music for your money, win win for me. I would have bought this just for their version of the Dylan classic Maggie's Farm.
4.0 out of 5 stars Nice "live" CD By A Great Old Band
Always liked The Blues Band since the 70s. This does not disappoint.
5.0 out of 5 stars Simply The Best R & B
Received this for a present at Xmas and have played it every week since This is how the Blues/ R&B should be played; by top musicians. I love the 'wireless' tracks on this CD Takes me back to Manfred Manns LP 'Five Faces Of Mann' in 64 where Paul Jones and Tom McGuinness started turning out R&B Terrific !
Ausgezeichnete Werkschau
Es muß nicht immer das Mississippi-Delta sein wenn man von guter Blues Musik spricht.Auch in Europa gibt`s gnadenlos gute Musiker dieser Richtung. In diesem Fall, ist es die durch ihren legendären Auftritt im Rockpalast bekannt gewordene, Blues Band. Die Älteren werden sich vielleicht an diese Sternstunde erinnern.Mit dieser Doppel Best of CD werden alle Phasen und die wichtigstens Hits von TBB angeboten. Insgesamt sind auf beiden CD`s insgesamt 41! Songs vertreten. Darunter alle Highlits wie Maggies Farm, Twenty Nine Ways, Flatfoot Sam, Take me to the Red Line und und und.Wenn es denn eine Kritikpunkt gibt, dann den das ausgerechnet Boom Boom(Out go the Lights) nicht vertreten ist. Aber gut, das ist meckern auf ganz hohem Niveau-is halt mein Lieblingslied;-)!Ich jedenfalls kann jedem Freund des Euro Blues zum Kauf dieser gelungenen Best Of DoCD raten. Gerade für Leute die die Blues Band nicht kennen, ist diese Compilation eine gelungene Investion!Fazit:Verdiente 5 Sterne-Kauftip!P.s. Das Booklet kommt mit interessanten Liner Notes von Chris Wech (auf Englisch) daher!
Ottimo blues, il meglio della Blues Band.
Un ottimo cd doppio di blues arrivato regolarmente senza problemi. Piacevolissimo da ascoltare, sono soddisfatto.
A VERY FINE BLUES BAND
I've been a fan of this group for quite some time and this double cd is full of the great blues music they perform.John Walsh

Ich glaube, arg viel mehr Musik gibt es von dieser Band gar nicht, als sich auf dieser Doppel-CD findet. Ich brauch jedenfalls nicht mehr von der Blues Band, die in den 80ern einige Bekanntheit erlangte. Wer Dr. Feelgood mag oder auch die Blues Brothers (allerdings muss man hier auf Bläser verzichten), frühe Stones (nur mit Humor) oder ganz allgemein etwas für Blues und R&B (in der altmodischen Bedeutung) und R&R übrig hat, der kann hier zuschlagen und hat eine ganz schöne Packung. Immernoch brillo: Die Abrechung mit Maggie Thatcher in "Maggie's Farm" von Dylan. Und natürlich Green Stuff und Find yourself another Fool.
The best of the Bluesband ...
Klasse,das ist eine top DOCD die sich eigentlich jeder der Musik mag holen sollte !Tolle Songs,man hätte aber auch gerne 3 CD's daraus machen können,material gibt es ja reichlich !!!Preis/Leistung eine 1 oder anders 5 Sterne !
