Album of the Week 12-21-24

Afternoon folks!

As always, there's a bunch of great music this week, starting off with one of Chicago's greatest harmonica players in his later years, Big Walter Horton. After that there's an another album in the Living Chicago Blues series featuring A.C. Reed, Scotty and the Rib Tips and piano player Lovie Lee with harmonica player Carey Bell. After that it's an album of r&b from Wilson Pickett followed by some live blues-rock from Creedence Clearwater Revival. Moving on to bluegrass we have an album of Doc Watson with Clint Howard and the Blue Ridge Mountain Boys and we finish up with a rock album from overlooked girl band, Fanny.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Yoo-hoo! I've got the original 'Mustang Sally' somewhere in my collection. The problem is I'm getting too old to know where it is.
