Afternoon folks!
Here we go with three blues albums this week, King Curtis and Champion Jack Dupree start us off with a live album followed by albums from B.B. King and Bo Diddley. After that, there's an album of folkey/bluesy acoustic music from Paul Geremia and some electric blues rock from Blues Magoos and ZZ Top. We finish off in the diversity department with an album from British rock band, The Rumour.
Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

hey joe

some of your selections bring back the ghosts of
the underground FM stations which grew me up
Geremia and Blues Magoos being a couple of them
the river is deep and wide ..
question everything
evening qms...
if only we could bring back one of those underground stations, i really miss free-form radio.
have a great weekend!
Hi joe
Thanks for the music as always. I enjoyed Paul Gerimia's country blues with a side of jazz, very nice.
evening janis...
glad you enjoyed the tunes. geremia is an amazing guitarist. i got to see him up close at an outdoor concert some years ago and i swear his fingers do things that are impossible.
have a great evening!
I can see what you mean
Ah, ZZ Top.
I have seen them in concert several times since 1970/71, met the drummer who testified for my client, 2010 or so, and I have told the story about my brother being a frequent visitor of the Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. La Grange.
Ah haw haw haw haw.
Never heard so much volume and tone, fleshed out music, from 2 guitars and a drum in my life. They sounded like a 5 piece band.
Thanks, joe!

evening otc...

I was bad in court.
I faked a cough and cleared my throat, and it came "ah haw haw haw". The judge and bailiff, the drummer on the witness stand, laughed so hard, we had to pause for a few minutes.
Good times!

Bo and BB,
Hi Joe,
Great stack o' disks as always! Love Bo and B.B.
Duly have the Fandango vinyl here... Saw them a few times back then at that time 74-77. The speaker cabinets they played had Fender type logos across the front of them, but they said "Rio Grande". Of course there ain't no such animal, they were custom made. And seemed a big part of that unique sound they had. Not sure what the heads were, likewise custom I presume. Totally unique sound they had. And sure a lot of it for three dudes in a lil' Ol' band from Texas.
Thanks for the great soundscapes!

evening dystopian...
glad you dug the tunes!
zz top when i saw them in the late 70's had a bunch of custom-looking gear that i couldn't really identify. they were in their spectacle stage (playing big arenas and stadia) and i never got close enough to really get a good gander at their stuff. i just started cleaning up their rio grande mud album last week, so maybe i'll post that in the next couple of weeks and i've got another bb album cleaned, recorded and ready to go this week.
have a good one!
