Album of the Week - 2-18-23

Afternoon folks!

It's another good haul this week. I've uploaded a late 60's album from James Cotton and a compilation of harmonica player Junior Parker's tunes. The harmonica goodness doesn't stop there though, there's some early 70's blues rock with the J. Geils Band, the Climax Blues Band and Blues Image's second album (the one with their big hit "Ride Captain Ride" on it). Following that there's a live Emmylou Harris album on which she sings a few tunes that she did early on in her career with Gram Parsons. Finishing up is a double album of Vassar Clements, notably with David Bromberg as a sideman.

Enjoy!

Here 'tis:

James Cotton Blues Band - Pure Cotton

Junior Parker - You Don't Have To Be Black To Love The Blues

J. Geils Band - Bloodshot

Climax Blues Band - Tightly Knit

Blues Image - Open

Emmylou Harris - Last Date

Vassar Clements - Hillbilly Jazz
