Album of the Week 8-19-23
Afternoon folks!
It's a smaller haul this week because I missed uploading a couple of days, but maybe we'll make it up with quality.
Starting off, there's Taj Mahal's eponymous album with an epic version of "Statesboro Blues" on it. After that there's a 1960 Bo Diddley comp album followed by Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown and Roy Clark collaborating on a fun album. Following that we switch to blues-rock with a Ram Jam album with their big hit on it (Black Betty), then there's an album by Dave Alvin and Fred Wesley (a long-time member of the JB's) lays some serious funk on us. We finish off with some old-timey music by the Red Clay Ramblers.
Have a great weekend and enjoy the music!
Here 'tis:
Roy Clark And Gatemouth Brown - Makin' Music
Fred Wesley And The Horny Horns Featuring Maceo Parker – A Blow For Me, A Toot To You

glad you enjoyed the music, it sounds like you had a chill evening.
I learn through the music our radio and TV station in the
Northern part of Germany (that is Hamburg and Schleswig Holstein) are playing what is going on politically.
Thank God there is music.
Just saying.

i hope everything went well and the triple burger treated you ok.
I am so confused and all seems above my capabilities to
to understand. I wanted to take the opportunity to apologies to all those I had hurt with my comments.
(the ones especially to snoopydawwg, if someone could let her now that I regret my comments)
thanks.

Hi Joe,
Hi Joe,
Great stuff man! I'm with Janis, I love the Taj and Bo.
The Taj album tripped me out way back in the day due to the birds on the cover, not surprisingly I suppose. The standout of course being that DODO, at right center in front of fence. The white one with the grotesque bill. An extinct bird! Many are American species, like Baltimore Oriole, Bobwhite, a Robin, etc., but a DODO!?!?! Always wondered how they were chosen, if random, just as art... or picked for a reason. The butterflies were not all American types either... anyway, GREAT album!
At least I don't have a job outside a doctors office getting people sick... ROFLMAO!
Thanks for the great soundscapes!
We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.
Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.
