Although featuring 19 performances recorded for BBC radio sessions between 1968 - 1973 (plus one session, reprising sixties material, for the Paul Jones R2 show in 1994), none of these tracks come direct from the Beeb - who have erased their entire Power sessionography - but from a network of conscientious fans and producers. Luckily, via the internet, the phone book and a bit of serendipity the bulk of Power's work for Radio 1 has been retrieved from oblivion and adds enormously to his reputation as a singer and writer from the British blues era yet pushing always at its boundaries - with folk, pop, jazz and prog-rock just some of the labels one could try to stick on these recordings. Accompaniments range from mentor Alexis Korner (and his band, with Danny Thompson, Terry Cox and others on the amazing '68 Radio 3 take (!) of 'Gin House') to pianist Mike Hall on three cuts, a full scale blistering rock band on the '73 Peel session tracks and legendary sax man Dick Heckstall-Smith on three others. Yet it is probably the handful of Power solo tracks - mostly from a 1970 Mike Raven session, preserved on master tape by its producer - that are the true highlights. As Folk Roots editor Ian Anderson has stated, seeing Power live at Soho clubs in the mid-sixties was the closest British kids could imagine getting to the experience of seeing and hearing the likes of Robert Johnson in the flesh. From blues-wailing monsters to achingly beautiful love songs, the gamut of Power's genius is all here! A God-send release from an artist who recorded much less than he should have in the commercial arena. Take a chance on it!

Alexis Korner called him his favorite singer and without question, Power was one of the greatest vocalist to come out of the 1960s. After a false start recording trepid covers of American hits of the day, Power discovered the blues and transformed himself into one of its most passionate vocalists. For some reason, much of the material he recorded in the mid-sixties was not considered commercial enough and so it was unreleased in its day. Years later, when his recordings made with the likes of John McLaughlin, Jack Bruce, Danny Thompson and Terry Cox surfaced, it reinforced what many suspected all along-that Power is a major talent who should have been huge.I have the three previous CD?s issued of Power and they are all worth owning for different reasons. This collection of BBC recordings is also most welcome. Purchase and enjoy a true master.
