Don't have much by him - a 7" and a 12" - but the 7" is my favourite of the two - Are You Glad To Be In America on Rough Trade

Per my earlier suggestion..or as a sideman to Big John Patton on: - Accent on the Blues - Memphis to New York Spirit As a sideman with Ornette Coleman: - Lonely Woman The America - Do you remember the Love on Blue Note from 1986 is a good introduction and should be availabel on CD If you can confirm that Black Rock and Are You Glad to be in America are OUT OF PRINT then I can assist with a CDr www.geocities.com/BourbonStreet/Quarter/7055/Ulmer/ |

The sideman stuff with Big John Patton is great but its pretty straight ahead soul jazz and before Ornette got him deeply into harmolodics.
For something more uniquely Blood Ulmer yet fairly accesible, I would suggest the Odyssey (Columbia, 1983) or Odyssey Band Reunion (Knitting Factory, 1998) -- very nice trio recordings of guitar, violin and drums. Not sure if those are still in print though.

I like Birthright. Thats a new one and should be pretty easy to find. Its unique also in that its a solo recording -- just the man and his guitar. Check it out.
