Submitted by joe shikspack on Sat, 03/11/2023 - 3:00pm
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:
The J. Geils Band - "Live" Full House
Mother Earth - Make A Joyful Noise
The White Brothers - The New Kentucky Colonels Live In Sweden, 1973

I have Little Walter doing a version of
"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!!

Willie Dixon wrote it for Little Walter. At that time,
Willie wrote a lot of stuff for particular artists like Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter and others.
