Alvin Youngblood Hart, Down in the Alley, 2002 Memphis International Records, $16. This is Memphis resident Alvin Hart's 4th and newest release, and it is awesome. It's just him with his acoustic guitar (plus some banjo) doing pre-war Delta classics by legends like Charley Patton and Son House. He is faithful to each tune, but this is not a note-for-note copy fest. Hart makes each track come alive. He conveys the spirit of each song in a way that keeps the music fresh and exciting. Jim Dickinson produced it. Billy Gibbons, Dave Alvin and Robert Gordon wrote the liner notes. 12 tracks:
- Judge Bouche
- How Long Before I Can Change My Clothes
- Deep Blue Sea
- Jinx Blues
- Bootlegger's Blues
- Alberta
- Broke and Hungry
- Devil Got My Woman
- Chilly Winds
- Tom Rushen Blues
- Please Baby
- Motherless Child
