Album of the Week 4-26-25
Afternoon folks!
This week we start out with a couple of albums from blues harmonica players, Snooky Pryor and Sam Myers, followed by some serious acoustic country blues from John Jackson. After that there's Gil Scott-Heron's double album of jazz and blues from the bicentennial era. Then it's on to blues-rock with two albums featuring guitarist Peter Green, the first at his peak from his tenure in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers and then a late career album from him. Finishing us up is an album of prog rock from Gentle Giant.
Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!
Here 'tis:
Snooky Pryor ~ Do It If You Want To
Sam Myers & Anson Funderburgh ~ My Love Is Here To Stay
John Jackson ~ Blues And Country Dance Tunes From Virginia
Gil Scott-Heron & Brian Jackson ~ It's Your World
John Mayall's Bluesbreakers ~ Live 1967

afternoon qms...
yep, the version of the bluesbreakers with peter green, mick fleetwood and john mcvie is my favorite of their iterations. there were other good ones with clapton and mick taylor that some people like, but i think that mayall's band hit its height in 1967.
have a good one!
Hi Joe,
Hi Joe,
Thanks for the great sounds man!
Love that Peter Green.
You're comment a few weeks ago about the quality of those early live Mayall recordings is well illustrated here. Gret to have something, anything, but yeah too bad... I wonder what they used. Does have a 'cassette deck' aspect to it. I have one of those cat's meow state of the art SONY 55 POUND PORTABLE they called it (!) reel to reels. They were studio grade, you needed a porter for it in the filed, stereo recording, tubes, a great machine. Mine is out of service waiting for troubleshooting. It got better sound than this though...
Thanks for the music man!
