Submitted by joe shikspack on Sat, 01/31/2026 - 3:00pm
Afternoon folks!
It's a feast of blues this week. Starting off in New Orleans with an album from barrelhouse piano player Champion Jack Dupree, we then move on to an album from Taj Mahal, with a stellar version of Horace Silver's "Senor Blues." Following that we go to a live album from Muddy Waters and then a raw, rootsy album from Big Bad Smitty. After that it's blues-rock time with a live Hot Tuna album and we finish up in the diversity department with a folksy kind of album from The Be Good Tanyas.
Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!
Here 'tis:

The tuna is good
.
especially coming out of the muddy waters.
A bit of sauce from Taj / Dupree makes it a
very good dish. Aural delight.
Reminds one of this
bunch of talented musicians here

Neither Russia nor China is our enemy.
Neither Iran nor Venezuela are threatening America.
Cuba is a dead horse, stop beating it.
afternoon earthling...
somebody sorting the mail at the radio station accidentally dumped one of their albums into my mailbox instead of the americana guy's. i gave it a listen and liked it, so i passed on the album to the americana guy and went out and got a copy for myself. glad you liked it, too.
have a good one!
