Album of the Week 5-2-26
Afternoon folks!
Unsurprisingly, there's some blues here for you. Starting off is the bonus disc of a later release of Muddy "Mississippi" Waters Live with a whole bunch of material that was not in my vinyl rip of the original album. Following that is a compilation album of T-Bone Walker tunes and an album from a fine but lesser-known Texas blues guitarist in the T-Bone tradition, Long John Hunter. After that, it's on to a classic album from John Mayall's Blues Breakers in the Eric Clapton period followed by New Orleans Meters. We finish up with some rock and roll from British guitarist Chris Spedding who has likely performed as a session musician on or produced stuff you might have heard.
Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!
Here 'tis:

Professor, I have a Muddy Waters
question. What and where are recordings of Muddy's band with the great (but nuts with anger issues) harmonica player, Little Walter? You're the PhD on Blues.
I'm more familiar with Rhythm and Blues. Fascinating program again, as usual. Rec'd!!

Good morning Joe, thanks. I practically wore the grooves
off of my copy of that blues breakers album, a serious classic. Thanks for posting it.
