Review

Dirty Linen (p.46) - "[H]is years of experience combined with his vitality and an ability to experiment and stretch out musically on these sessions are a winning combination."
Living Blues (5-6/99, pp.90-1) - "...One of the most tasteful and sophisticated guitarists the blues has produced, Lockwood transcends the form at will but never divorces himself from his musical and cultural roots. Stick these two discs in the player, hit shuffle and prepare to be amazed."

Being the stepson of blues legend and icon Robert Johnson carries with it some heavy baggage, which may be why Robert Lockwood, Jr. (formerly known as Robert Jr. Lockwood) isn't better known. His take on the blues is unique--he injects jazz elements and unusual chord patterns into the blues format, which delights many and confounds others. COMPLETE TRIX RECORDINGS collects the two albums he recorded for the tiny independent label Trix in 1973 and 1975.

Lockwood is presented in both solo and band contexts--in the latter, with small but versatile bands. He covers a lot of ground, from his stepfather's acoustic Delta blues in "Terraplane Blues," through the Charlie Christian-inspired swing of "Down Home Cooking" and the New Orleans funk of "Just A Little Bit," to the slow, soulful blues of "Angel Child." His voice is a fine balance of down-home rawness, and mellow, seen-it-all assurance, and his guitar playing is spiky and robust. With energy and style to spare, Lockwood transcends the legacy of his famous relative.
