Album of the Week 5-3-25

Afternoon folks!

There's some great tunes here for you this week, starting with one of my favorite blues guitarists, Earl Hooker who was an amazing slide player and inventive player generally. After that we've got what I think is blues harmonica player Little Sonny's best album, a good listen. After that, Roy Buchanan, an amazing guitarist at the peak of his career, 2 sets recorded live. After that are albums from DC area guitarist, Tom Principato and one from John Mooney an interesting slide player who studied with Son House. Finishing up in the diversity department, there's an album from the Marshall Tucker Band.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

I thoroughly enjoyed John Mooney the album long. Who can resist a Hooker album, Earl or John Lee! I will check in to Son House.
