Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Versatile and transcendent, Snooks Eaglein is known for his electric R&B, as well as his acoustic folk classic. Billed in the mid-50s as "Lil' Ray Charles" this influential New Orleans guitarist can hold his own with just voice and guitar. Snooks Eaglin: NEW ORLEANS STREET SINGER is a poignant collection of his early work and yet still holds true to his broad range and style.

The music is fantastic, and there are many bonus tracks to augment the original LP. Very disappointed however that the producers of this reissue decided to temper with the original album sequencing. The original LP was a perfect collection whose impact is now diminished because of the sequencing changes. Happy to get the bonus tracks, however these should be tacked at the end of the original album to respect the original intention of the of the artist and/or producer. Imagine getting a reissue of Sgt. Pepper's or Highway 61 resequenced, starting with inferior bonus tracks...

Hopefully one day there will be a new reissue to correct this mistake. In the meantime I will burn a copy with the restored original sequence.

5 stars for the music, 3 stars for the sequencing job.

Too Bad

Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2010

Verified Purchase

It's unfortunate that Snooks Eaglin has left us and that catching a live performance is thus a thing of the past. Unfortunate because Eaglin was incredible, as exemplified by this wonderful recording. There are and have been many great guitarists around. Those who make list frequently jump out at you with their incredible, "blow you away" chops. Stevie Ray Vaughan and Mike Stern are perfect examples of this. Eaglin is different. He doesn't attack you with his virtuosity; it's more subtle but no less exceptional, characterized by intense propulsion and rhythm, and exceptional timing. His singing enhances the effort as well. This disc will have you tapping your foot and wishing you could still be there live.

I was lucky enuf to see Snooks perform at the NOLA Jazz Fest 2 years ago. He was quite good. I was sad that a CD recording of that concert was not made available. So, I'm looking forward to hearing this one.

I heard him off a compilation disc and he's amazing. He has so many styles of songs on this disc and he has amazing chops on the guitar. I listen to this disc over and over again.

Despite amazing talent surprisingly little known

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 7, 2020

Verified Purchase

I have just discovered this amazing musician, such an exciting find. Snooks was a blind black singer from New Orleans, an incredible guitarist with a rich voice brimming over with feeling. The album is a diverse mix of blues, country, soul and gospel perhaps biased more towards blues but so musically diverse it defies categorisation. Musicianship and production are out of the top drawer. You have here a collection of 30 plus songs with not a bad track amongst them. Hugely enjoyable and satisfying.

Du bon qui fait mal

Reviewed in France on December 9, 2014

Verified Purchase

Ce disque est le résultat d'une "chasse aux chanteurs de rue". Il a fait beaucoup de mal à Snooks Eaglin qui longtemps, à cause de lui, n'a pas trouvé d'engagement comme "chanteur tout court", mais fait beaucoup de bien à l'écoute.

Quand on connait un peu le blues, on redécouvre des chansons connues, sans être tout-à-fait sûr au départ : que des reprises, que des (bonnes) surprises !

Je repasse, fin décembre 2018: la liste des titres fournie par la deuxième image (dos de la pochette) est exacte par rapport à mon achat, la liste des extraits qu'on peut écouter correspond à un autre album titré "That's all right" sur lequel on aboutit si on clique sur l'extrait "That's all right", titre 2 .
Il y a des titres en commun, mais la liste d'extraits ne correspond pas à ce que j'ai acheté.
ça semble un pb courant chez Amazon, hélas (voir la confusion entre "Blues roots" et un cd de Brubeck et Mingus).
