Another week, more stuff for your ear buds to sample. Starting off, we've got Big Daddy Kinsey's tribute album to Muddy Waters, followed by an album by Ronnie Earl with significant parts of Muddy Waters' band including the great Pinetop Perkins who really shines on this. After that we've got an album from Alvin Youngblood Hart that sadly didn't get the attention that his breakthrough album did. Then we've got Taj Mahal and Ry Cooder in their younger days with an album retrieved from the vault and resurrected. Finally, there's a later album from Levon Helm full of great stuff.

It was a short week for me, and I didn't upload as much as usual, however, there's still some great stuff here. Starting off, there's a great classic Chicago blues album from pianist Otis Spann with a bunch of great sidemen.

Finishing us up is a fine album from Ry Cooder.

Following that there's an album from blues singer Robert Ealey of Texas. Moving on to the diversity department, we've got a live kinda country rock album from Gram Parsons and the Flying Burrito Bros and then we have a kind of peculiar but enjoyable album from genre-defying musicians the Bad Livers.

There's some interesting stuff here this week. Starting off, there's a 90's album from Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown followed by an album from Chicago blues guitarist Jimmy Rogers with Johnnie Johnson handling the keyboard duties. After that, we move on to blues rock with Little Feat and a compilation of studio artifacts and demos that cover their career from when Lowell George first left the Frank Zappa band to more recent years - it might mean more to a Little Feat fan than the general public, but it's still interesting stuff. After that we've got an album from a Canadian artist, Colin Linden, that never got his due in the U.S. market. It's a really pleasant album worth a listen. We finish up with an album from former Monkee, Mike Nesmith in his folkie/country period.
