Album of the Week 5-24-25
Afternoon folks!
Happy holiday weekend! We've got some stuff to amuse you for a bit, here. Starting off with some Chicago blues, we've got a live Junior Wells album from the 60's followed by an album of Otis Spann tickling the ivories for you. After that it's on to the father of British blues, Alexis Korner. Then it's back to Texas for an album from a fine guitarist Anson Funderburgh and the Rockets, after which we bounce back to Britain again for a live album from Chicken Shack later in their career. After that we've got some folky/acoustic kinda blues from Tom Ball and Kenny Sultan which segues nicely into a classic album from Leon Redbone. We finish off in the diversity department with some prog rock from Gentle Giant.
Enjoy the tunes and have a great holiday weekend!
Here 'tis:
Junior Wells ~ It's My Life Baby!
Otis Spann ~ The Bottom Of The Blues
Alexis Korner's All Stars ~ Blues Incorporated
Anson Funderburgh & The Rockets ~ She Knocks Me Out!
Stan Webb's Chicken Shack ~ Stan "The Man" Live

Granted, German politics right now is enough to have any sane person climbing the walls.
Ever read Edgar Allan Poe’s The Pit and the Pendulum?

In Germany, if the populist AfD is the pit, the anti-AfD cartel of pro-war parties — who have also been pro mass Muslim immigration yet silent on, if not apologists for, the Gaza genocide — are the red-hot iron walls, gradually contracting to form a smaller and smaller space until any fair-minded person is forced to jump into said pit.
