Standing At The Crossroads 180gr LP

Johnny Shines (voc, g)

This is one of several albums this artist made in
the early '70s that stand as a masterpiece of the
acoustic country blues genre. Johnny Shines had
begun recording in the mid-'60s, the albums done
with electric guitar and full-combo backup, one of
them reportedly cut after he hadn't picked up an
instrument in years. It was as if he reinvented
himself in the following decade, playing pristine
and flawless acoustic slide guitar pieces complete
with shuffling, stuttering, and stimulatingly
complicated tempos. The message was that he had
been a young sidekick to Robert Johnson and had
absorbed everything, although no deal had been
made with the Devil. Shines was a steady,
dependable, religious, and forthright chap who
lived in Tuscaloosa, AL., and held down a steady
job as a construction foreman. Mild-mannered and
extremely intellectual, he let loose the reserve
of emotion when doing a Delta blues number. The
magic and heart were in his fingertips as well as
in his voice, which sounds stupendous here. The
emergence of the Johnson song canon into his
repertoire, done with almost Baroque detail, was
also something of a revelation. Some of Shines'
earlier albums had featured songs that almost
seemed made up on the spot. He was good at that,
and was rumored to have played whole sets that
were completely improvised when working the
country juke joints of his home state, but on this
album he showed what he could do when sinking his
teeth into a bona fide blues classic. 'Kind
Hearted Woman' is the musical equivalent of an
absolutely perfect chopped-barbecue sandwich with
sauce the way they do it in Tuscaloosa, and
obviously of much less offense to vegetarians when
taken in this form. There were 11 perfect songs
chosen by Pete Welding from his set of recording
sessions for this project. Once again this great
producer has come up with a blues release that is
basically a required item for any good collection
of this genre.

Recording: November 1970 in Altadena, CA., by Pete
Welding
