Album of the Week 10-26-24

Submitted by joe shikspack on Sat, 10/26/2024 - 3:00pm

Afternoon folks!

Get ready for some great blues! Starting off, there's a live album from Otis Rush and a studio album from harmonica player Shakey Jake Harris. Following that, is what I think is John Hammond's best album ever featuring members of The Band - Levon Helm, Robbie Robertson, Garth Hudson along with Mike Bloomfield and Charlie Musselwhite. Yowzah! Following that is a 1969 Creedence Clearwater Revival album and then a zydeco album from John Delafose. Finishing up is a pop album from The Zombies.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Here 'tis:

Otis Rush ~ So Many Roads (Live In Concert)

Shakey Jake Harris ~ The Devil's Harmonica

John Hammond ~ So Many Roads

Creedence Clearwater Revival ~ Willie & The Poor Boys

John Delafose ~ Heartaches And Hot Steps

The Zombies ~ I Love You

CCR, The Zombies, Delafose...
You took 20 years off me, bud!
Dear One and I are never sick, but 2 Sundays ago, neither of us felt up to getting to the Delafose concert. At least he plays that nearby venue several times a year.
One day...
Thanks for the tunes and face lift!

@QMS

yeah that hammond album and another one that he did with dr. john and mike bloomfield (called "triumvirate" it's also on my youtube channel) vie to be my favorite hammond album. any given week, it might be one or the other. they are both outstanding albums.

have a great weekend!

@orlbucfan

that sounds like a good idea. perhaps what i'll do is post a thing or two that i like and invite people to share something that they like. if folks are into it, it could become a regular feature.

@joe shikspack That sounds like a great idea. With all the negative crap happening, music is always a very good positive. Smile

Howdy record man, ;_

Fantastic Otis Rush and John Hammond albums. Both were outstanding. Otis was awesome.

About those Zombies... they were very popular in LA. She's not there was played every DJ shift on the main AM pop stations at the time (KHJ and KRLA). The song I love You' written by Chris Marsh the bass player became very popular too, but not the original fast Zombies version.

The San Jose CA one-hit wonders "People" version, slowed down, melodramatic, and was played a ton on LA radio, whilst we never heard the Zombies original version. We loved it. I think this singer went on to be the Jesus Christ Superstar dude, great voice...

Thanks for the great sounds man!
