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!

Here 'tis:

Walter "Shakey" Horton ~ Looka Here

Living Chicago Blues ~ Volume 4

Wilson Pickett ~ The Wicked Pickett

Creedence Clearwater Revival ~ Live In Europe

Clint Howard & Doc Watson And The Blue Ridge Mountain Boys – Favorites Of Clint Howard & Doc Watson

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.

heh, i know where my albums are when they're on the turntable, any other time their location is debatable. i have a queue of albums cleaned and ready to digitize but after they go off to my music room they wind up in a series of crates because i've run out of shelves.

have a great weekend!
