Album of the Week 5-10-25
Afternoon folks!
There's some great blues here for you this week, starting off with a B.B. King album recorded with a bunch of prominent British blues-rock types back in the early 70's. Following that is a German Clarence Gatemouth Brown release, showing off a more countryish blues style with a good helping of Gatemouth's fiddle playing. After that we've got an album of a couple of lesser-known Chicago blues players, Morris Pejoe and Arthur "Big Boy" Spires the latter of whom is accompanied by Willie "Big Eyes" Smith in his early incarnation as a harmonica player before he became a drummer for (among others) Muddy Waters.
Next we move on to a great album from David Bromberg followed by Paul Geremia (a lesser-known acoustic blues guitarist and harmonica player). After that it's diversity time, there's some rock and roll with NRBQ, some country rock from Richie Furay (formerly of Buffalo Springfield and Poco) and we finish off with a fine album from Emmylou Harris.
Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

it's possible, he got around a bunch. he often played the festival circuit and smaller venues. i got a chance to see him play in a barn in virginia from 5 feet away back in the 90's sometime, he gave an awesome performance.
