Liner Note Author: David Wells . Cherry Red's Grapefruit imprint is a reissue label that tends to devote itself to issuing high-quality single-artist career anthologies, rare albums, and various overviews of segments in British popular music circa 1965-1974. Crawling Up a Hill: A Journey Through the British Blues Boom 1966-71, asserts that the U.K. explosion ran concurrently with the country's emergent psych and garage scenes. That's true, but it was less formal and more primal. It derived its inspiration from pre- and post-war American bluesmen including Robert Johnson, Howlin' Wolf, Elmore James, and Muddy Waters, as well as from the dying British jump R&B scene established by Alexis Korner, Graham Bond, Long John Baldry, Cyril Davies, etc. John Mayall was getting his Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton to the charts as well, Duster Bennet was hanging around with Peter Green, and artists such as Jo-Ann Kelly, Mike Cooper, and Ian A. Anderson were reveling in country blues. While there have been many British blues anthologies, the vast majority tend to be single-label projects rather than scene-wide curatorial efforts. This three-disc, 56-track box is the first attempt at a comprehensive overview. On disc one, the Bluesbreakers are represented by Willie Dixon's and Otis Rush's steamy, raw, "All Your Love." The previously unissued title track is offered by with sass and verve by then-new and always unheralded Zany Woodruff Organization (who later hosted guitarist Allan Holdsworth). Tracks by Bond, Jeff Beck, Love Sculpture, and early Fleetwood Mac, Ten Years After, and the Deviants round it out. But there are surprises: Duster Bennett's demo for "Jumping at Shadows," made immortal by Fleetwood Mac, and the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band delivering a scorching, humorous, barroom strutter called "Can Blue Men Sing the Whites?" There is a smoldering Korner jam here too, titled "Operator," with a very young Robert Plant on vocals. Disc two contains a smoking acoustic version of "Death Letter Blues" by Mike Cooper, as well as "It's You I Miss," by the Christine Perfect Band (aka Fleetwood Mac's Christine McVie), the swampy, modal blues-rock of Levee Camp Moan on "I Just Can't Keep from Crying," Taste's "Blister on the Moon," revealing Rory Gallagher's early guitar genius, and tracks by Blodwyn Pig and Chicken Shack, as well as a host of obscurities including Quiet Melon's rarity "Diamond Joe," featuring the pre-Faces Ronnie Wood, Kenny Jones, Rod Stewart, Ian McLagan, and Ronnie Lane. The final disc includes a scorching, live, "A Hard Way to Go" by Savoy Brown (with Chris Youlden), Stone the Crows' "Raining in Your Heart," the Edgar Broughton Band's "Old Gopher," Skid Row's "The Man Who Never Was," an early example of dual-lead proto-metal blues with guitarist Gary Moore (Phil Lynott was their original vocalist, but not here), and Status Quo's early boogie exercise "Railroad," with obscure numbers by Linda Hoyle (a rousing "Mr. Backlash"), a ragged "Road Runner"
