Afternoon folks!
This week we've got some excellent Chicago blues with Magic Sam and another album by a friend of his, Luther Allison. There's a bunch of other blues rock and rock with Hot Tuna (a double, live album), Ten Years After, most of Stone The Crows first album, the tragically under-appreciated Jesse Ed Davis, Van Morrison, Steeleye Span and finishing it off with a large anthology of The Easybeats who are mostly known in the U.S. for their hit "Friday On My Mind."
Enjoy!
Here 'tis:

Thanks Joe,
Listening to "Crazy Love" by Jesse Davis. There's some old memories there. I think this must be the version of Crazy Love I heard first back in the day. Of all of the versions, it just feels right to me. And, I hadn't heard it in years. Appreciate it..
Jesse Ed Davis!
Hey Joe, GREAT sounds man!
Any Hot Tuna and Ten Years After was loved in L.A. But Jesse Ed Davis flew under the radar. Few realize how much music he was on. He was a great player. That is a great album! He was something. And what a tragic story and ending. I saw him on the last Rod Stewart & the Faces tour in 75. He played only part of the tour (but yes in L.A.), and said to be whence he picked up that worst habit. He had just played most of the guitar on Rod Stewarts first big solo album, so Rod wanted him. It was weird seeing the Faces with two amazing guitarists. Ronny Lane was down and out though, it was Tetsu's first tour. The early 70's Faces played then with a full white floor mat, like a wrestling mat almost, and custom all white Ampeg SVTs with those 8x10 cabinets, in all white. So, it changed whatever color the lights were. The whole fn stage and equipment. It was an incredible effect. They were filming it, but no footage ever saw the light of day of the two guitar Faces shows with Jesse Ed Davis that I know of.
Thanks for the great soundscape as always!

how do you folks know so much about music?
I mean, I listened to and remember many, many licks and tunes
but to know your depth of orientation is another plateau altogether
