Album of the Week 9-28-24

Afternoon folks!

This week we have some great acoustic blues for you. Starting out we've got a compilation of delta slide guitar wizard Tampa Red's 78's from the 20's and 30's. Following that is a nice album of Piedmont Blues from John Jackson. After that, we go electric with Beaumont, Texas' Phillip Walker followed by an early (1969) Chambers brothers album. Then it's on to blues-rock with a live album from Canned Heat which may have a cut that is not available in the U.S. - if you have a vpn, you can probably get it. After that, we've got some straight rock from an EP I found laying around in my old 45's from Be Bop Deluxe, and we finish off with an album from Redbone which features their big hit. You'll probably recognize the hit when you hear it, though you might not remember the title or the band.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Here 'tis:

Tampa Red ~ Bottleneck Guitar (1928 - 1937)

John Jackson ~ Vol. 2: More Blues And Country Dance Tunes From Virginia

Phillip Walker ~ Someday You'll Have These Blues

The Chambers Brothers ~ Feelin' The Blues

Canned Heat ~ Live At Topanga Corral

Be Bop Deluxe ~ Hot Valves

Redbone ~ Wovoka

I haven't got past the full Chambers Brothers album yet, and if that's all I do, many thanks.
