Asia

Album of the Week 8-8-26

Submitted by joe shikspack on Sat, 08/08/2026 - 3:00pm

Afternoon folks!

This week we've got an album from a singer known for sounding a lot like B.B. King, notably joined on the album by the guitarist Earl Hooker. After that, there's an album from Chicago blues piano player Roosevelt Sykes followed by one from harmonica player Charlie Musselwhite. 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. A little more blues rock follows from Blodwyn Pig a british band formed by the first guitarist of Jethro Tull (Mick Abrahams). We finish off with an album of prog rock from Asia featuring Steve Howe (Yes) and Carl Palmer (Emerson, Lake & Palmer).

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Can the grassroots crumble the corporate culture? Roots do break apart rock. This week's edition features some stories of efforts to change the system. As usual we'll look at the whirlwind of news from Alabama to Asia, from Saudi Arabia to Russiagate, from armistice day to veterans day, from war to peace and prosperity, and more....
