Album of the Week 4-26-25

Afternoon folks!

This week we start out with a couple of albums from blues harmonica players, Snooky Pryor and Sam Myers, followed by some serious acoustic country blues from John Jackson. After that there's Gil Scott-Heron's double album of jazz and blues from the bicentennial era. Then it's on to blues-rock with two albums featuring guitarist Peter Green, the first at his peak from his tenure in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers and then a late career album from him. Finishing us up is an album of prog rock from Gentle Giant.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

@QMS

yep, the version of the bluesbreakers with peter green, mick fleetwood and john mcvie is my favorite of their iterations. there were other good ones with clapton and mick taylor that some people like, but i think that mayall's band hit its height in 1967.

have a good one!
