This is the quintessential coffee table book. That’s particularly true for those who love guitars.

This new double disc set features two different compilation albums. The first is a tribute to John Lee Hooker and the second is a sampling of British blues guys.

The whole “do an album of covers” concept is a popular approach these days.

This CD is one of the latest in a series of audiophile discs coming out.

I've reviewed a box set of this band in the current issue of Music Street Journal. In addition, I'm doing individual retro reviews of this album and the first one.

This is a new audiophile release of a classic Eric Clapton solo album.

I would say that this set is pretty effective.

This is an amazing set. It starts off with two DVDs featuring three shows from the German TV show "Rockpalast." Then they add in five audio CDs with the music from those three shows.

As Paul McCartney describes it, he had always wanted to do an album of old standards.

Everything about this operation screams "classy." What I'm reviewing here is a double CD set.

This is arguably one of the most divisive releases in Hawkwind's catalog. Let me lead off by saying that I land in the group of people really won over by it.

It would be easy for a cynical person to assume that this was some hastily assembled set to cash in after the death of Jack Bruce.

When you are Jack Bruce, it’s a safe bet you can get your pick of musicians who want to play with you. After all, when you were one third of one of the most influential bands of the 1960s (Cream), you have some clout. Bruce has used that clout to his advantage recruiting some impressive musicians to guest here. The end result is an album that’s exceptional. It might even make my best of 2014 list. There are moments here that call to mind Cream, but there are other sections that feels different than that. It’s all quite good, though.

As to those guests. Here’s a partial list of the musicians playing on the disc: Phil Manzanera, Uli Jon Roth, Robin Trower and Cindy Blackman Santana. There are quite a few others, too. The lineup is just one attraction, though. Really the music is the main driving force here, and it’s great.

This brand new three-CD set is all class. It gathers together the three studio albums from Baker Gurvitz Army released from 1974-1976, but you probably get that from the title.

This set was filmed during Eric Clapton’s 70^th birthday tour.

Those looking for an introduction to the Huw Lloyd Langton period of Hawkwind in the first part of the 1980s might find this a perfect first purchase.

I’ve never been one of those people who were blown away by Eric Clapton. That said, I’ve always felt that music he did in the 1960s was, without question, the most vital and important of his career.

In some ways the 1970s were Eric Clapton’s most productive, at least in terms of his solo career.

I've reviewed this album, and another from this group, in this issue of Music Street Journal. They are also both part of a box-set, reviewed in the same issue.

I’ve always loved B.B. King’s music. I’ve only seen him live once, but it was an incredible show.

When Roger Waters enlisted Eric Clapton for this album it was compared a lot to those latter day Pink Floyd albums he so heavily influenced by that time. B

I like The Who quite a bit. I mean, they aren’t one of my favorite bands, but I do really like them.

I know a lot of people aren’t crazy about this disc. For my money it’s well worth having.
