Afternoon folks!

Well, there's a real grab-bag of goodies this week. Starting off we've got an album from New Orleans blues guitarist Snooks Eaglin after that there's an early album from the Climax Chicago Blues Band and an album from J.J. Cale. Following that we've got some fancy acoustic guitar work from Tony Rice. Then we've got some rockabilly from Carl Perkins and some Zydeco from Buckwheat Zydeco. We finish off with some straight ahead rock from The Godfathers.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!
