	Shelter Records - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Shelter Records was the record label started by Leon Russell, and Denny Cordell.
		Shelter Records was originally distributed by Blue Thumb Records, but then it was distibruted by Capitol/EMI from 1970 until 1973.
		Afterwards, the label from 1975 onwards was distributed by ABC Records (the first label being yellow; the second one was reddish-orange with the Shelter logo inside a Saturn-like planet with a crescent man-in-the-moon at the bottom of the label) until 1979, when ABC was sold off to MCA.

	The Story of Blue Thumb Records
		Blue Thumb was one of the first companies that realized this new set of airwaves was important for music; they were one of the very first record companies that got into recording albums.
		In its six years of existence, Blue Thumb was never a smashing success, but Krasnow and LiPuma, both of whom stayed the course, were able to put out between 60 and 100 albums (nobody knows for sure) of music that encompassed the wild, the unusual and the blatantly non-commercial.
		Blue Thumb's artwork was all done by Tom Wilkes and Barry Feinstein, from their Camoflage Productions office in the Hollywood Hills.

		On the other hand, a small label like Blue Thumb gives the buyer a pretty good possibility that although the group may be unknown, the product could be excellent.
		Imagine my surprise in rummaging through the record racks to find an old friend in Blue Thumb with a strange sounding name of a group that included Robbie Krieger and John Densmore from the then deceased Doors.
		The album was recorded in London and Jamaica which may explain the diverse quality of the songs.

	Robben Ford CD Review
		It's been almost two years since the release of Supernatural, Robben's fifth for the Blue Thumb/Stretch label, and although a new CD can't be far off, I felt that Supernatural should not be overlooked as it represents a significant change in artistic direction, and very likely could be his best work to date.
		If you were a fan of The Blue Line, the band that Robben has not used on his last two recordings, don't despair, it has not reduced his capacity to "cook on high" turn up "When I Cry Today", before relaxing to the six minute rendition of "You Got Me Knockin'".
		Blues On Stage is a ® Trademark of Ray Stiles.

	Ace Records
		What none of us knew was the existence of more recordings from the Four Sail sessions, and that they were about to be issued on a new label.
		Jac Holzman was allowed to cherry pick from the first batch of newly recorded songs, and selected ten songs, passing on Doggone and the new version of Signed D.C..
		Seen now as one of the best Love line-ups to record, and certainly the most accomplished musically, the material that made up the original three vinyl sides is brimming with shimmering solos, wonderful melodies and some breathtaking moments - all of which are captured on the fourteen tracks that make up OUT THERE.

	Uppers \| Jimmy Smith - Dot com blues (Blue Thumb Records) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The UNI/Blue Thumb collective have released what on paper appears to be an exciting new Jimmy Smith album, paying homage to the blues with a pool of talent so deep, you get the bends just imagining the scene at the studio.
		It is possible to record an album which is a vehicle for returning Smith to a wider listening audience.
		On the other hand, it is a universal truth of modern blues recording that if you want a wider audience you will not hear anyone playing the hell out of the blues.

		The recording was taken from a 1995 lunchtime set at the club Yoshi's in Oakland, California.
		With a style that mixes funk, blues and jazz, Ford strays from his usual routine and tries his hand at an unplugged set.
		Ford draws a gritty blues sound with the use of chords that layer and mix many sounds together quite well.

	Review \| Any Time by Leon Redbone
		Redbone established himself as somewhat of an oddity in the music business, taking mostly pre-World War II songs and imbuing them with what can only be thought of as Redbone's unique style and humor.
		After 11 albums he continues to capture and promote the essence of what popular music used to be, long before sophisticated recording techniques such as multiple tracks, overdubbing and sampling became standard practice.
		David Middleton is the art director of Blue Coupe magazine and occasionally likes to dress up in a white linen suit and hat and stroll along 'neath the shade of the sycamores with a mint julep in hand.

		In 1947, Gate was in the audience at the Golden Peacock nightclub in Houston, when famed guitarist T-Bone Walker took sick and dropped his guitar onto the stage in the middle of a number.
		Forty-five years after he recorded it for Peacock, his classic instrumental hit "Okie Dokie Stomp" is still required learning for aspiring blues guitar players.

	Blue Thumb/Banana Album Discography
		Blue Thumb Records was the idea of Bob Krasnow, who by 1968 had traveled all over the country with James Brown and then settled down to run King and then Kama Sutra Records.
		At the bottom of this poster was a pouch for the record album, which was meant to be viewed as well as heard.
		After 1974, when Blue Thumb was absorbed into ABC, the label continued issuing albums sporadically until about 1979, when MCA took over ABC and dropped the label.

		The Am-Par Record Corporation was formed in New York City in 1955, as a subsidiary of American Broadcasting-Paramount Theaters, Inc. The record label was called ABC-Paramount.
		Price had hit in 1952 with Specialty records with "Lawdy Miss Clawdy." Price's career at Specialty was cut short when he was drafted into the US Army soon after, but upon getting out of the Army in 1956, Price moved to Washington D.C. and formed his own record label, KRC (Kent Record Company).

		For the few who may still be unaware, Krall is the 39-year old sensation whose cool, heavy-lidded vocals and strikingly sensitive piano-playing has helped her transcend barriers of genre to become a popular artist of the first order.
		Since her recording debut in 1993, she has released nine albums (including her first seasonal effort, the EP Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas in '98), garnered numerous awards and topped the pop charts.
		Krall's arrival has been rapid: in '99, her breakthrough When I Look in Your Eyes won a Grammy for best jazz vocal and was the first jazz disc to be nominated for Album of the Year in twenty-five years.

		Ra was a particular favorite of the MC5, who adapted his wild space-jazz style and his poem "There Is" into their tour-de-force number called "Starship," and the band's enthusiasm was quickly picked up by its legions of followers in the area.
		The Arkestra's appearance at the 1972 Blues and Jazz Festival marked its return to the area after a three-year absence and became widely regarded as a must-see event.
		His epochal Saturn Records releases are now being made available to contemporary audiences in a series of 16 CDs issued by Evidence Records, while ESP-Disk has restored his classic Heliocentric Worlds of Sun Ra, Volumes 1 and 2.

		As you no doubt know this is a collection of Love's two post-Elektra albums on the Blue Thumb label "out here" and some of the best songs from their finale "false start".
		Indeed, many of these songs were actually recorded during the "four sail" sessions but weren't used until they'd gotten out of their Elektra contract.
		After that, Love moved to Blue Thumb Records and although not as consistant in quality, it had GREAT songs.

	CD Review of Paco de Lucía - Cositas Buenas on Blue Thumb Records @ jazzreview.com
		After his five years of soul searching which removed de Lucía from the recording studio, he has released Cositas Buenas, an album that features the guitarist without his regular sextet, providing a heightened appreciation for his ability to simultaneously set up percussive foundations and to tell his own stories in music.
		That blending of influences, even as de Lucía remains true to flamenco form, is most evident on “Casa Bernardo,” which features Latin-influenced trumpeter Jerry Gonzalez in a flowing and muted counterbalance to de Lucía’s cascading phrasing.
		Using a previously recorded tape of de la Isla’s voice, de Lucía has overdubbed the guitar part to recast her singing in a different perspective.

		About five years ago, I was trying to shop Holy Mischief around to the record companies.
		Then he says, "Right now, Roy Haynes, one of the greatest drummers ever, he can't get a record contract." I've always had to make a living playing music, so my idea was to play a lot of different styles and be a real good sideman.
