Album of the Week 2-1-25

Afternoon folks!

This week, as usual, we've got some blues, starting off with Chicago blues guitarist Mighty Joe Young, followed by a compilation of (then) younger Chicago blues artists including impressive vocalist Valerie Wellington and slide guitarist Lil' Ed. Following that there's a Funkadelic album, followed by a bunch of blues rock and r&b albums from The Siegel-Schwall Band, Tracy Nelson and The Ikettes. After that is an album from John Prine and some bluegrass from Robin & Linda Williams.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

I can definitely see a chicken strutting down the floor on that first mighty Joe Young song. Now for the rest.

Have a great weekend.

Tracy Nelso. Iremembeerr listening to the Mothr Earth album, and, in particular "Mothere Earth" and, later looking at the album cover and thinking "No way that kid did those vocals", heh.

nelson was in her mid 30's when she did this album. i felt the same way as you did when i saw her on the mother earth cover, it's amazing how a voice that large comes out of somebody so small.

have a good one!

Loved that Mighty Joe Young album. He was a might fine guitar player.

That Funkadelic album was great too. They were sooo creative, it was so original.

mighty joe young is one of those guys who just never got the acclaim he was due. i can't imagine why fame eluded him.

there will be more funkadelic coming in the next few weeks.

have a good one!
