Album of the Week 11-9-24
Afternoon folks!
This week, as seems appropriate, we have some serious blues. Starting off, there's a really great live album from Etta James, followed by a compilation from New Orleans blues artist Tommy Ridgely. After that is an album of fancy pickin' instrumentals from the Rev. Gary Davis. Moving into blues-rock, we've got John Hammond's early 60's second album, followed by an album of some hard-to-peg music from Old Crow Medicine Show. Little Feat follows that and then there's some 70's blues/jazz/rock fusion from Mandrill (remember them?) Finishing up is an album from Malo a latin jazz/rock band.
Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!
Here 'tis:
Etta James ~ Etta James Rocks The House
Tommy Ridgely ~ The New Orleans King Of Stroll
Reverend Gary Davis ~ Ragtime Guitar
Old Crow Medicine Show ~ Remedy
Comments
Very vague memory of Mandrill
so gave it a listen
some actually comes back
as familiar
must have been a long time ago
but good music never-the-less
around the time of Chick Corea?
has some of that sound vibe in it
(not Harvey Mandel)
thanks hombre
afternoon qms...
i think i first heard mandrill around 1973 on baltimore's first fm "underground" radio station. they had some pretty hip djs, especially their late night guy who turned me on to a lot of things.
have a good one!
Thanks for the Etta James -
she put on a great show sometime in the mid-seventies at The Troubadour. She was very personable and open about just have come out of rehab. The video below is much like what I can recall that Etta James' show.
