Album of the Week 3-16-24

Afternoon folks!

It's a good week when you lead off with Muddy Waters. After that there's compilations from J.B. Lenoir and Horace Silver - the latter is a jazzy blues performer for those not instantly familiar. In the blues-rock category there's a live double album of the Paul Butterfield Band, a Robin Trower album and a John Hammond album. Following that there's a Doc & Merle Watson album and we finish up with a rock album by a lesser-known band, Tin Huey.

Have a great weekend and enjoy the tunes!

Here 'tis:

Muddy Waters - King Bee

J.B. Lenoir – Natural Man

Horace Silver - The Best Of Horace Silver

The Butterfield Blues Band - Live

Robin Trower - In City Dreams

John Hammond - Sooner Or Later

Doc & Merle Watson With T. Michael Coleman – Red Rocking Chair

Tin Huey - Contents Dislodged During Shipment

King Bee is soul fine. And so's all the rest on here. Horace Silver has been included among the beginners of jazz-rock-soul fusion. 24k gold, joe. Smile Rec'd!!

king bee was written by slim harpo back in 1957, muddy really updates it, though, and does a beautiful job. horace silver was one of the jazz musicians that one of my music teachers in high school used to introduce us to jazz - a pretty sneaky choice if you ask me. Smile

have a good one!
