Album of the Week 7-26-25

Afternoon folks!

Another week, another load of good stuff. Starting off we've got a Chicago blues singer with a bunch of Willie Dixonish material, Big Time Sarah. After that it's down and dirty blues with Big Bad Smitty followed by a Chicago blues harmonica player, Big Wheeler. After that it's on to an album from slide guitar wizard Bob Brozman and we finish up in the diversity department with some zydeco with Chubby Carrier.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!
