After that it's an album from Piedmont blues guitarist John Jackson and then it's on to an earlyish in the career album from The Steve Miller Band. We finish up with an album of some amusing rock and roll from The Beat Farmers.

This week we're starting off acoustic with an album from a great Piedmont blues guitarist, John Jackson, followed by an album split between two delta musicians, Son House (early recordings, when he was in his prime!) and J.D. Short. After that we move on to a double live album from Buddy Miles, recorded just after he had been working with Jimi Hendrix. Following that is a greatest hits album from my favorite Motown group, The Temptations. Finishing us off this week in the diversity department is an album of psychedelic wonderment from The 13th Floor Elevators - this is a modern pressing that removes the less-than-satisfactory applause track from a boxing match that was imposed on the original release of the album to make it sound like a live album, which is a big improvement in my book.

After that we've got some blues rock from guitarist Harvey Mandel - probably best known for his work with Canned Heat and John Mayall's band.
