Afternoon folks!
It's another great week and here are your blues. Starting off we've got a 70's album from one of the 3 Kings of the Blues, guitarist Freddie King, followed by a 90's album from Chicago blues harmonica player, Billy Branch. After that is an album from New Orleans piano legend Professor Longhair. In the blues-rock category we have a live album from Mike Bloomfield and we finish up in the diversity category with a live album from John Prine.
Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!
Here 'tis:
Freddie King ~ Texas Cannonball
Billy Branch ~ The Blues Keep Following Me Around
Professor Longhair ~ Mardi Gras In Baton Rouge
