Album of the Week 7-1-23

Afternoon folks!

This week we're starting off with a late 60's album from James Cotton, when apparently his producer was going for a jazzier sound. After that there's a live album of Stax artists performing at the Apollo Theater (I think in 1964) including Otis Redding, Rufus Thomas and Ben E. King.

We've got a bunch of blues-rock with Delaney & Bonnie with Eric Clapton (I think that the gods of copyright blocked the last tune, a nice Little Richard medley), followed by Steppenwolf's first throwing in the towel album (Rest In Peace), followed by Dr. Feelgood's first album.

Then there's a hard to classify album by Tom Ball and Kenny Sultan, respectively a very talented harmonica player and a very talented acoustic guitarist.

We finish off this week's bounty with some Oakland soul from Tower of Power.

Enjoy!

Here 'tis:

James Cotton - Cut You Loose

Saturday Night At The Apollo

Delaney & Bonnie & Friends On Tour With Eric Clapton

Steppenwolf - Rest In Peace

Dr. Feelgood - Down By The Jetty

Tom Ball & Kenny Sultan – Who Drank My Beer?

heh, you'd probably find it a bit disorganized at the moment and spread between several locations in the house. i have thousands of records and probably twice as many cds. the only currently organized genre is cd blues. i think that you're getting the tidier tour with artifacts checking in every week here. Smile

have a good one!
