Chicago Urban Blues 1923-1945 is a concentrated anthology of historic recordings by individuals with ties to communities all across the southern United States. This collection includes well chosen examples by pianists Meade "Lux" Lewis, Bob Robinson (of Hokum Boys fame), Roosevelt Sykes, Clarence "Pinetop" Smith, and Jimmy Yancey, who played on one of only two recordings known to have been made by vocalist Faber Smith. Amos Easton, also known as Bumble Bee Slim, was backed on the ivories by Myrtle Jenkins, who also made records with Priscilla Stewart, Mary Mack, and the State Street Swingers. There's enough female energy in here to settle anybody's business. You hear Ida Cox accompanied by pianist Lovie Austin; Bertha "Chippie" Hill by Richard M. Jones, and Hannah May, who might have been Victoria Spivey's sister Elton Spivey, with Georgia Tom Dorsey and Tampa Red. Lil Johnson sings "My Stove's in Good Condition" backed by pianist Black Bob and guitarist Big Bill Broonzy. "Squat It" comes from a large body of works generated by the team of Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy. Sippie Wallace sings the "Bedroom Blues," and her little brother Hersal Thomas performs his own "Suitcase Blues," which became a staple of the piano blues repertoire and received its best reinterpretation on a 1939 Blue Note recording by Albert Ammons. Shelton Brooks' "I Wonder Where My Easy Rider's Gone" gets the definitive treatment by Frankie "Half-Pint" Jaxon and Tampa Red's Hokum Jug Band. The Chicago-based Harlem Hamfats promise "We Gonna Pitch a Boogie Woogie," which seems like a precedent for Willie Dixon's "Wang Dang Doodle." There are offerings by guitarists Lonnie Johnson, Tommy McClennan, and Kokomo Arnold; wry observations on female behavior by Washboard Sam and Memphis Slim; a beautiful testimonial by Big Maceo Merriweather, and classic harmonica blues from Sonny Boy Williamson and Jazz Gillum. This excellent core sample from the first half of the 20th century has a lot in common with Chicago in Mind, an equally fine collection put together by Catfish in 2000. The two complement each other perfectly, and having in common only Ida Cox's "Chicago Bound Blues" could coexist neatly in anyone's personal stash of vintage Windy City blues.
