この人の、この1枚 『Chicago/The Blues/Today! 』

 今日の「この人の、この1枚」は『Chicago/The Blues/Today! 』です。

シカゴ・ブルースのコンピレーション・アルバムです。ヴァンガード・レコードから1966年にVol.1~Vol.3まで発売されました。日本では1969年に発売されているようです。学生時代に散々中古レコード屋を巡って探しましたが見つからず、そのうち諦めて忘れ去っていました。

それが1999年に3枚組CDとなって再発されたのです。しかも分厚いブックレット付です。思わず買ってしまいました。こういうことがあるから長生きするもんですね。

今まで紹介してきたブルース・マンがたくさん参加しています。

ヴァンガード・レコードのサミュエル・チャーターズがわざわざこのメンバーを呼んで録音させました。シカゴ・ブルースを知らしめる貴重な音源になりました。そして当時の若いロック・ミュージシャンにも大きな影響を与えました。

 

シカゴ・ブルースのファンのみならずブルース・ファン、ブルース・ロック・ファンには垂涎ものの1枚です。
