Afternoon folks!

This week we've got a live (double) early 70's album from James Cotton, followed by a live album from Hound Dog Taylor - some serious high-energy Chicago blues for you guys. After that, it's The Kinks, with a compilation of singles from their early classic blues rock period. Then there's some New Orleans r&b from Cookie & The Cupcakes and an album from Little Feat. We finish off in the diversity department with a prog-rock band from Japan called The Sadistic Mika Band.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Here 'tis:

The James Cotton Blues Band ~ Live And On The Move

Hound Dog Taylor & The Houserockers - Beware Of The Dog!

The Kinks ~ Kinks

Cookie & His Cupcakes ~ By Request Volume 2

Little Feat ~ Last Record Album

The Sadistic Mika Band - Live In London

Thanks, Joe. I thought I was the only round eye who'd

ever heard of The Sadistic Mika Band. Thanks for that whole album.

afternoon el...

@enhydra lutris

i first heard them back in 1975 from a friend of mine and i made a cassette copy of one of his album because their albums are as rare as hen's teeth here. i occasionally run across one of their albums at record shows, but they are either trashed or stratospherically priced. i lucked out and found an affordable, fairly clean copy of the album i posted a couple of years ago.

have a good one!

Hey Joe,

Thanks for the great sounds man!

Neat Kinks. Said 1980, but sounded about '66. They were a great band.

Great Little Feat too~

Now it's Hound Dog or James Cotton... hmmmm...

Thanksk Joe!

@dystopian

i like that kinks collection, it's got a bunch of tunes that you don't usually find on early kinks comps.

heh, i hope you enjoyed your choice.

have a good one!
