Album of the Week 4-12-25
Afternoon folks!
This week there's some great stuff, starting with Chicago blues guitarist Magic Slim recorded live, followed by some great late 40's through early 50's r&b recordings from piano player Jimmy McCracklin and the Blues Blasters. Following that there are albums from harmonica guy Mark Hummel and a really excellent, not to be missed Mike Bloomfield album. Shifting gears a bit, we've got a mid-60's album from Doc & Merle Watson and in that country-folk vein with a little added electricity is a live album from Gram Parsons and the Fallen Angels (featuring Emmylou Harris). Finishing up, get ready to get spaced-out with Stomu Yamashta, Steve Winwood and Micheal Shrieve.
Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Comments
Once again, you surprise me of music previously
unheard of. Thanks for expanding the horizons!
It is not that I have not listened, new stuff is fun.
Even if it is as old as the hills. A good set.
A mind that does not detest bad government is foolish.
afternoon qms...
glad to help out with the expanding horizons thing. have a great weekend!
Thank you joe
After all the irresistible high steppin' music of Magic Slim and Hummel, I also enjoyed winding down with the spacey pace of ‘Go’.
afternoon janis...

Great sounds Joe!
Hi Joe,
Great Bloomfield album... I thought he sang well too.
The link above the Stomu-Winwood album is a dead end to a c99 'not found' page. The album was very good and musically interesting. Found this at der wiki:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_(band)
Go was a Japanese rock supergroup formed in 1976 by Stomu Yamashta (percussion and keyboards), which included Steve Winwood (vocals and keyboards), Al Di Meola (lead guitar), Klaus Schulze (synthesizers) and Michael Shrieve (drums).[1] Go is the Japanese word for "five".
Go recorded two studio albums, Go (1976) and Go Too (1977). The band also recorded the 12 June 1976 concert they performed in France, which was released as the album Go: Live from Paris (1976).

===========================
Joe do you know which album this was? Was Al Di Meola on it? I only heard a few guitar parts on this, were those Di Meola?
It was very good stuff. That Stomu had songs in The Man Who Fell to Earth (the Bowie movie).
Thanks for the great sounds Joe!
happy trails!
