Clifton Chenier

Album of the Week 10-4-25

Afternoon folks!

Here we go. Starting off we've got a couple of live albums, one from Albert King and one a compendium of live performances at the Montreux Blues Festival over the years by Luther Allison. After that, we have an album of zydeco from Clifton Chenier. Then shifting gears to blues-rock we have Roy Buchanan's for many years unreleased first album and some later live recordings. We finish up in the diversity bag with Los Straitjackets doing a kind of revved-up surf/rockabilly kinda thing.

Enjoy the tunes, have a great weekend!

Album of the week 8-2-25

Afternoon folks!

There's a pile of great music this week for you. Starting off we've got some Chicago blues from Lonnie Brooks, followed by some Texas blues from relative unknowns T.D. Bell & Erbie Bowser, they're worth a listen. After that we've got a whole bunch of Louisiana-related music, starting off with Dr. John and Bluesiana Triangle followed by some older New Orleans r&b from Johnny Adams and then some zydeco from Clifton Chenier. Following that we've got some great acoustic rags and blues from Blind Boy Fuller and we finish up with a mostly acoustic album from Catfish Hodge.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Album of the Week 4-27-24

Afternoon folks!

Some more great stuff this week! In the blues department, there's an album split between Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf featuring tunes from their London Sessions (with Brit blues-rock musicians backing them) and an album from Piano Red (the original Dr. Feelgood?) from Atlanta. After that there's a live double album of zydeco/cajun/blues from Clifton Chenier. In the blues-rock department we've got an album this week from Jeremy Spencer after he left (early) Fleetwood Mac and joined a religious cult, kind of an odd album with some good tunes. After that, there's a live album from country-rockers Poco and we finish off in the diversity department with Tom Waits and his Swordfishtrombones album.

Have a great weekend and enjoy the tunes!

Album of the Week - 5-20-23

Afternoon folks!

Well, there's a bunch of good stuff this week. There's some zydeco to get things rolling with a compilation of Clifton Chenier's Arhoolie recordings. After that Taj Mahal and Ry Cooder do their best impression of Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee - not to be missed! Doc Watson follows up with a mid-60's album and we change pace after that with Osibisa. Osibisa is a band from Ghana and worth a listen. Following that there's some rock with Foghat and some rock/prog with The Tubes to finish things off.

Enjoy!
