Guess Who [ABC, 1972]
Bluesy soul records aren't getting any easier to come by, and who am I to complain about one with the great B.B. King contributing guitar parts? "It Takes a Young Girl" and "Better Lovin' Man," which sound like standards that somehow passed me by, more than make up for the clumsy "Summer in the City" and the rereremade "Five Long Years." But the singer obviously isn't getting any younger, and when he begs comparison with Lorraine Ellison and Howard Tate on "You Don't Know Nothing About Love" he's risking more than he ought to. Which is admirable, in a way. B+

Alright but has it ever been explained why you're obsessed with posting Christgau reviews on /mu/?

Actually it's impossible to make soulless blues. It can sound bad but not passionless

Unless it's Eric Clapton.

that's not fair. yeah we know he became the "mascot" for the genre because he was a nice inoffensive and corporate guy who plugged credit cards and diabetes monitors on TV whereas a guy like Howlin' Wolf was not as accessible to casuals.
