Listener Reviews & Comments
Sadly overlooked by virtually everyone but fellow musicians during his lifetime, Alexis Korner was one of the cornerstones of the British blues movement. Bands such as the Rolling Stones by their own admission would never have existed were it not for Mr. Korner. "Musically Rich and Famous" is unfortunately the only comprehensive anthology of this bluesmasters work presently available. Many thanks are due Castle Records for lovingly compiling the 32 tracks and 142 minutes contained in this double disc anthology which spans Korner's post Blues Incorporated recordings from 1967-1982. The set includes contributions by Eric Clapton, Robert Plant, Andy Fraser, Paul Rogers, Peter Frampton, Steve Marriott, Keith Richards, and Nicky Hopkins, among others. Playing gritty, true to the soul blues, Korner was a master guitarist who possessed an honest, if less than beautiful voice. The genuiness of his artisty shines throughout this collection. It is one of the great tragedies of popular music that Korner did not generate greater record sales and is not recognized by the record buying public as one of the fathers of contemporary blues. Do yourself a favor and buy "Musically Rich and Famous" and discover for yourself the artistry of the late Alexis Korner.
