Anson Funderburgh & The Rockets:
She Knocks Me Out
Having already released Anson’s debut album, it just made sense to go back and “knock out” album #2, recorded in 1983 for Black Top. Includes 'She Knocks Me Out; Howlin’ for My Darlin’; A Word about Women; You Know My Love; Your Funeral and My Trial; Look Whatcha Done; Two for Pete; Love Me with a Feeling; Gonna Keep What I’ve Got; The Blues Seem to Follow Me; Is There Something Inside You?; Goin’ Away', and 'The Things I Do for You'.

Anson Funderburgh/Sam Myers:
My Love Is Here To Stay
This 1984 platter marked the first recorded meeting between Texas guitar slinger Anson Funderburgh and veteran harpist Sam Myers, a musical partnership that lasted up until Myers’ death in 2006. And, as such, it’s a landmark in the careers of both men, and one of the finest records in Funderburgh’s extensive catalog, as Myers’ booming voice and rocking harp provided the guitarist with the perfect foil.

Ronnie Earl & The Broadcasters:
Soul Searching *
Ronnie Earl’s third release for Black Top heralded the official formation of his band The Broadcasters, so named after the first solid body electric guitar, built by Leo Fender back in 1950. And in that band was one-time Rocket Darrell Nulisch and ex-Muddy Waters sideman and harpist extraordinaire Jerry Portnoy among other luminaries, plus a special guest appearance by Ronnie’s Roomful of Blues mate Duke Robillard. In short, this was one smokin’ ensemble, and this is one smokin’ album, garnished with the bonus tracks 'Love at First Sight' and 'I’m Holding On!' From 1988.

Rod Piazza & The Mighty Flyers:
Alphabet Blues
The second (1992) Rod Piazza & the Mighty Flyers release for Black Top was also the last studio album to feature the much lauded line-up of guitarist Alex Schultz, bassist Bill Stuve and drummer Jimi Bott, and it was quite the swan song for the boys, as 'Alphabet Blues' moved effortlessly from slow, burnin’ blues to blistering boogies and insouciant shuffles. We’ve added three bonus tracks, 'Chicken Shack Boogie'; 'Nook-N-Kranny', and 'T-Bone Jumps Again', to the album’s original tune stack of tracks.

James Harman Band:
Do Not Disturb
At its heart it’s Chicago blues, but 1991’s 'Do Not Disturb' travels through time and territory to touch on swing, jump and Texas roadhouse blues, with Harman’s harp its gritty guide. This was Harman’s debut for Black Top, and it’s one of the best albums the label recorded. And we’ve added a bonus track, 'I’ve Got News', to round out this modern blues classic!

Anson Funderburgh & The Rockets:
Talk To You By Hand [Digipak]
Seeing as this 1981 album was the debut record from “The Master of the Stratocaster,” Anson Funderburgh, it ranks as something of a modern blues landmark, the first chance for us mere mortals to sink our teeth into Anson’s spicy gumbo of Texas jump blues and Delta blues! And that’s some tasty stuff, friends; includes 'Tore Up; Come On; Talk to You by Hand; I Found a New Love; How Long?; That Will Never Do; Nobody but You; This Should Go On Forever; Walking Dr. Bill; All My Love in Vain; I Was Fooled', and 'Red Hot Mama'.

James Harman Band:
Two Sides To Every Story [Digipak]
One of the great songwriters and iconoclasts in modern blues, harpist and singer James Harman steers the blues in directions unknown and unexpected every time he takes the stage or hits the studio. This 1993 release for Black Top is reckoned as one of his finest.

Rick "L.A. Holmes" Holmstrom:
Lookout! [Digipak]
After woodshedding with Billy Boy Arnold, Jimmy Rogers, Johnny Dyer and, most notably, Rod Piazza’s Mighty Flyers, Alaska-born guitarist Rick “L.A. Holmes” Holmstrom struck out on his own for this 1996 all-instrumental beauty. You’ll hear a little Earl Hooker, a little Lightnin’ Hopkins and definitely some Junior Watson in Rick’s Silvertone guitar sound.

Rod Piazza & The Mighty Flyers:
Blues In The Dark [Digipak]
Heavily influenced by Little Walter and George “Harmonica” Smith (he played with Smith in a band called Bacon Fat), harpist and vocalist Rod Piazza has been at the center of the West Coast blues scene for over three decades, and this 1991 release is one of his tastiest, with some luscious piano licks from wife Honey Alexander. And we’ve added a bonus track, "Back Door Man" to the original album. Out of print for years!

Ronnie Earl & The Broadcasters:
Surrounded By Love [Digipak]
Love ain’t all that’s surrounding Ronnie and the band on this 1991 release; ace harpist Sugar Ray Norcia is back on board with Ronnie, and Robert Jr. Lockwood is on hand for three tracks! Earl’s jazz-inflected style first gained notice while he was with Roomful of Blues, but his solo releases for Black Top, of which this is the last, are stellar.
