Afternoon folks!

It's a mostly blues week, this week. Starting out we've got a lesser known Chicago blues guitarist Hip Linkchain, followed by a classic album from the well known Albert King. Following that is another lesser known blues guy, Joe Beard backed up by a guitarist who is no slouch, Ronnie Earl - all worth a listen. After that we've got some blues rock with J.J. Cale and we finish up in the diversity department with Richard Thompson.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Hot damn, it's a new year!

This week we got blues. There's a BB King album, an Albert King, Steve Cropper and Pops Staples album and there's a live Louis Jordan album from the Netherlands. After that we've got some blues and rock from NRBQ and we finish up with a reunion album from The (original) Animals with a few good tunes on it. Since I was out of town, I didn't get to upload as much as usual, but what the heck, there's some good stuff to enrich your weekend.

You all have a good one and enjoy the tunes!

After that there's a Little Feat album and an Alvin Lee & Ten Years Later album. Finishing off, there's a folky Richard Thompson solo acoustic album.

It's a good week to listen to the blues, and we're starting off with Albert King's classic Stax album Born Under A Bad Sign, an album that grabbed a lot of folks by the ears and wouldn't let go. Following that is an album of Cousin Joe (Pleasant) from New Orleans' early recordings, there's some really great stuff in there. After that we move on to blues rock with some late 60's Lonnie Mack and Creedence Clearwater Revival after which is an assortment of recordings of Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Nicky Hopkins and others. We finish up with some prog rock from Be Bop Deluxe.

From there, you can boogie with Canned Heat, rock with the MC5 and then mellow out a bit with Bonnie Raitt. Coming into the home stretch, there's a Jorma Kaukonen album of country bluesish tunes and finishing up in the diversity department, there's an album by German prog-rockers Triumvirat.

It's another small haul this week since my uploading schedule got interrupted by the holiday weekend bluegrass festival. Starting out we've got a mid-70's Albert King album with some really excellent cuts, and a Chambers Brothers album with an incredible version of "The Weight." After that there's a double live album of Procol Harum in 1969, the sound quality is less than optimal but the music quality is great, then there's a cool album of R. Crumb with a bunch of pretty talented players doing a variety of cool old tunes. In the diversity category there's British folk ensemble Pentangle and an album by Spirit.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

It's a small haul this week, but there's some great stuff. There's an Albert King compilation of some of his best recordings and a Wilson Pickett compilation of his hits. Following that there's a kind of underrated Roomful of Blues album which I really like and finishing us off is a mid 70's rock album, the first from Crack The Sky.

You all have a great weekend and enjoy the tunes!

Afternoon folks!

I hope that you are all having a great weekend! Here's another helping of albums from my collection. Starting off there's a live Albert King album from the late 60's, followed by a compilation of singles from a couple of great New Orleans record labels featuring folks like Professor Longhair, Johnny Adams, Irma Thomas and Tommy Ridgely. After that we've got a bunch of rock for you from Little Feat, a fairly obscure psychedlic band called Fever Tree and The Pretty Things. Finishing up, there is an album from acoustic guitarist Norman Blake with mandolin player Red Rector and last but not least Jim Kweskin and The Jug Band finish us off. I will be adding some tracks to the Kweskin album later on Saturday night.

Enjoy!
