Hot damn, it's a new year!
This week we got blues. There's a BB King album, an Albert King, Steve Cropper and Pops Staples album and there's a live Louis Jordan album from the Netherlands. After that we've got some blues and rock from NRBQ and we finish up with a reunion album from The (original) Animals with a few good tunes on it. Since I was out of town, I didn't get to upload as much as usual, but what the heck, there's some good stuff to enrich your weekend.
You all have a good one and enjoy the tunes!
Here 'tis:
B.B. King ~ Confessin' The Blues
Albert King, Steve Cropper & Pops Staples ~ Jammed Together
Louis Jordan & The Tympany Five ~ Good Times
The Original Animals ~ Before We Were So Rudely Interrupted

Howdy bluesmeister!
Hi Joe,
Great to see you back!
Something seems to have changed. When I clicked the Albert KIng it only played one song and the album did not play. The BB did the same thing. When I clicked to open them in youtube, the former lineup of the album at top of sidebar is not there and it is an unrelated to the album sidebar now. At least on those two.
If you should choose to accept this mission, good luck!
P.S. edit to add... That Albert, Cropper and Pops song was outstanding!

evening dystopian...
i'll be damned if i can figure it out. all of the online help is useless. it looks to me like youtube either has changed some settings or they've just screwed something up. i went back to some previous playlists that i posted that i know were working and now they end the playlist after the first video, too. i wish there was an alternative to youtube.
@joe shikspack That's the big problem
That's the big problem/headache with all this 21st "high" tech. The bozos keep changing how the apps function almost constantly. No sensible user's manuals anymore. If it ain't broke, I guarantee they will break it. My hubster is a hi-tech whiz (retired), and he gets frustrated with how ridiculous it is. Anywho, back to music. Eric Burdon is one of a very, very few white boyz who could sing Black Blues--no easy feat. The Blues community complimented him for it. Rec'd as always. Happy New Year, too.

evening orlbucfan...
yeah, back when i was working, we had these clowns in central computing that had god-like powers to make sweeping global changes across all of the (many) domains of my workplace - and of course told nobody about it. we'd come in, find that everything had broken and realized that we had to kick the clowns again.
i suspect something like that has happened at youtube.
glad some of the music got through for folks to enjoy.
have a great new year!
