Afternoon folks!
This week we've got some great Chicago blues starting out with an album from harmonica player Snooky Pryor, followed by an album from Hubert Sumlin, Willie Dixon, Sunnyland Slim and Clifton James. After that we've got an album from one of Muddy Waters' guitar players (who also later backed up Magic Slim) John Primer. After that we change gears for a live album from guitar wizard Danny Gatton and then we go way out in left field to finish up with an album of prog rock from Godley & Creme.
Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!
Here 'tis:
Snooky Pryor ~ Snooky Pryor And His Mississippi Wrecking Crew
Hubert Sumlin, Willie Dixon, Sunnyland Slim, Clifton James ~ Blues Anytime!
John Primer ~ Stuff You Got To Watch
