Description:
"Shake That Thing! The Blues In Britain 1963-1973" on CD is a lovingly curated time capsule of a pivotal decade in British music history. This compilation brings together an impressive spectrum of blues recorded in the UK between 1963 and 1973, charting the journey from raw, club-based rhythm & blues to more electrified, progressive and roots-conscious interpretations of the genre. Across its tracks, you hear the gritty energy of early British R&B, the influence of American blues masters, and the gradual emergence of a distinct British blues identity that would shape rock and popular music for decades to come. As a mixed-artist release, the focus here is on stylistic breadth: earthy, harmonica-driven shuffles stand alongside soulful slow blues, driving boogie, Chicago-inspired electric blues and more introspective, singer-songwriter-tinged pieces. The selection showcases both well-known and lesser-known acts of the period, giving a balanced picture of the British scene beyond just the biggest chart names. Sequencing and remastering are designed to offer both historical value and an enjoyable, coherent listening experience from start to finish. Listeners gain not only an anthology of songs but also a narrative of how blues was absorbed, reinterpreted and re-exported from Britain during these formative years. The CD format underlines the archival character of the release: detailed liner notes (where included) typically provide context on sessions, venues and labels, making it an attractive choice for collectors, historians and newcomers wanting a guided entry into British blues. This is a set that rewards attentive listening, but it also works perfectly as an immersive soundtrack that captures the smoky-club atmosphere and restless creativity of the 1960s and early 1970s. Behind the release stands Cherry Red Records, an independent UK label renowned for its passion for musical heritage, reissues and deep catalogue projects. Over the years Cherry Red has built a strong reputation among collectors and music lovers for meticulously compiled anthologies, genre-spanning box sets and thoughtfully remastered archival titles. The label is particularly respected for its detailed documentation, insightful booklets and its commitment to bringing overlooked or out-of-print music back into circulation. "Shake That Thing! The Blues In Britain 1963-1973" fits perfectly into this tradition, offering a carefully assembled overview that reflects both Cherry Red's curatorial expertise and its long-standing dedication to preserving the richness and diversity of popular music history. Overall, this CD is ideal for anyone interested in the roots of British blues and rock, as well as listeners who simply want to discover a vivid, stylistically diverse selection of blues from one of the most fertile creative periods in UK music.
