Album of the Week - 3-11-23

Afternoon folks!

This week we've got James Cotton doing some classic Chicago blues from his early days followed by an early Taj Mahal album. Following that is some blues-rock with the J. Geils Band recorded live and a studio album from country blues band Mother Earth (featuring Tracy Nelson). Then it's on to some bluegrass with a really great live album from The White Brothers (also known as the Kentucky Colonels) featuring Clarence White - better known for his work with The Byrds. Rounding out the order this week is some prog-rock with Curved Air.

Enjoy!

Here 'tis:

James Cotton - Take Me Back

Taj Mahal - The Natch'l Blues

The J. Geils Band - "Live" Full House

Mother Earth - Make A Joyful Noise

The White Brothers - The New Kentucky Colonels Live In Sweden, 1973

Curved Air - Second Album

The J. Geils Full House Live was the record I came up on
(or whichever recording medium I had at the time). Whammer Jammer
was a favorite.

Many thanks, there is a lot here to absorb!

@janis b "My Babe." Is that the same tune? I think he wrote it. Saw Spyro Gyra in an outdoor concert last night. The band and the weather were terrific. Rec'd!!
