Afternoon folks! I hope that you're all having a great xmas eve!

Well, I've got another pile of great stuff for you this week. There's a live recording of a bunch of great blues guys, Joe Turner, Eddie Cleanhead Vinson, Leon Thomas and T-Bone Walker to start off with. Otis Redding and Carla Thomas did an album together and most of it is next. After that we've got some great Chicago blues from Son Seals. After that there's an early John Mayall's Bluesbreakers (Mick Taylor period) album, a Michael Bloomfield album and a Doctor Feelgood album. In the diversity department, we've got Renaissance - after the Yardbirds broke up Keith Relf and Jim McCarty formed Renaissance, which is a completely different animal from the Yardbirds. There's a Richard and Linda Thompson album and finishing up there's an assortment of r&b vocal groups singles.

Enjoy!

Here 'tis:

Various - Super Black Blues Volume 2

Otis Redding & Carla Thomas - King & Queen

The Son Seals Blues Band

John Mayall's Bluesbreakers - Crusade

Michael Bloomfield - Count Talent And The Originals

Dr. Feelgood - Private Practice

Renaissance & Illusion

Richard & Linda Thompson - Hokey Pokey

Assorted R&B Vocal Groups

If that doesn't warm you up, it may just make you fall asleep.

I hope this horrible winder christmas is over soon.

Wishing you a warmer Chistmas, I think Ms shickpack has a job to do to keep you warm.

This is the time to thank you for all you do and have done. Please get well and healthy again. Please. I make a little prayer for you. I do this for my son often and I make myself believe it helps.

To you, your family and friends all the best. This will pass as all things do. Believe me. Stay hopeful.
