Album of the Week 11-7-26
Afternoon folks!
This week we've got a pile of great stuff starting out with an album from Guitar Jr., which I'm pretty sure is an early Lonnie Brooks album as, well, it sounds like him and he used to go by that stage name early in his career. Following that we've got a great album from Texas guitarist Frankie Lee Sims who was one of those blues guitarists that also influenced the development of early rock and roll. After that we've got a 60's folk revival era album from Sleepy John Estes followed by an album from soul singer/guitarist Curtis Mayfield. Moving on into some blues rock we've got a 1968 album from the Buddy Miles Express during the period that Miles was also playing with Jimi Hendrix. We finish up with some interesting 80's rock from an Australian group, Midnight Oil. So, there you go.
Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!
Here 'tis:

Hola, Professor Joe. Just reading
your program lists of historical popular music artists and their tunes is an education. As an educated popular music junkie, I LOVE your class!!
Hope you and yours had a good weekend weather-wise. We here in ECFL are getting the weather the Chambers of Commerce throughout the state love. Shame they miss the message a damaged planet-wise climate keeps sending. Rec'd!!
