Aretha Franklin

Album of the Week 1-6-24

Afternoon folks!

This week, we've got some great Chicago blues from a compilation album that features mandolinist Johnny Young, guitarist Johnny Shines and harmonica player Big Walter Horton. Following that there's some late 60's blues from Aretha Franklin. Moving on to the blues-rock category, there's a John Mayall double album on which he's joined by Eric Clapton, Mick Taylor and Harvey Mandel. Then there's The Pretty Things self-titled first 1965 album and a Lee Michaels album. After that is a Japanese bootleg of a Bob Marley concert in London (originally broadcast on the BBC) and we finish up with a studio album from Dr. John.

Enjoy and have a great weekend!
