This month the conversation at MOJO HQ has revolved around Celebration Day, the exceptional film of Led Zeppelin's triumphant show at London's O2 Arena in December 2007. In his introduction to Trampled Underfoot, Robert Plant namechecks Robert Johnson as well as a set of musical adventures in Mississippi. It was the mention of these escapades that sent us back to listen to a bunch of blues records. We started with Johnson's seminal "King Of The Delta Blues Singers", but as the month progressed, our choice of records shifted into electric blues territory as we graduated to classic recordings by Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf and Magic Sam, and then on to the likes of R.L. Burnside, T-Model Ford and Junior Kimbrough.
Suddenly we were deep in heavy blues territory, creating a bunch of playlists packed with hard-driving, swinging music. This 15-track compilation is an edited version of those playlists. It is designed to refect the breadth and depth of the genre, but ultimately it is engineered as the soundtrack to a night of mischief.
Some of these tracks will be familiar, some won't. Let's Move by Lightnin' Hopkins is a tune that Jools Holland played us a few years back when he compiled a list of his favourite boogie albums for MOJO. Somehow, it seemed to encapsulate the intention of this compilation, hence its inclusion as the title track. "The blues tells a story. Every line of the blues has meaning", said John Lee Hooker prior to his death in 2001. Listen up and hear what these songs have to say. /Liner notes by Phil Alexander, Editor-In-Chief, MOJO Magazine
