Afternoon folks!
This week it's a grab bag of blues and other stuff. I'm on my way out the door, so I'll trust you all to figure it all out rather than providing a narrative.
You all have a great weekend and enjoy the tunes!

We've got some great Chicago blues this week. Starting off we've got J.B. Hutto a fantastic slide guitarist, followed by a 2-disc compilation of Chicago blues featuring people like Jr. Wells and Buddy Guy, James Cotton, Otis Spann and many others. After that there's a live album from B.B. King at Cook County Jail and then we get a touch more modern with an album from harmonica player Mark Hummel. Next, it's some old-school Motown with an album from The Temptations and we finish off in the diversity department with some prog rock from Gentle Giant.

It's blues by the bucketload this week... Starting off we've got a fantastic live performance from B.B. King from 1964 when he was pretty much at the height of his playing. After that we've got a compilation of alternates and unreleased songs from Larry Williams, one of the great New Orleans r&b piano player/singers followed by some raucous live slide guitar blues from Hound Dog Taylor. Following all that is some blues rock Texas style from Toni Price and then an album from Kingfish, a band that features the Grateful Dead's Bob Weir. We finish up in the diversity department with a sampler from John Prine's record label that features a few songs from him followed by some other interesting artists.

There's some great blues here for you this week, starting off with a B.B. King album recorded with a bunch of prominent British blues-rock types back in the early 70's. Following that is a German Clarence Gatemouth Brown release, showing off a more countryish blues style with a good helping of Gatemouth's fiddle playing. After that we've got an album of a couple of lesser-known Chicago blues players, Morris Pejoe and Arthur "Big Boy" Spires the latter of whom is accompanied by Willie "Big Eyes" Smith in his early incarnation as a harmonica player before he became a drummer for (among others) Muddy Waters.
Next we move on to a great album from David Bromberg followed by Paul Geremia (a lesser-known acoustic blues guitarist and harmonica player). After that it's diversity time, there's some rock and roll with NRBQ, some country rock from Richie Furay (formerly of Buffalo Springfield and Poco) and we finish off with a fine album from Emmylou Harris.
