Buckwheat Zydeco

Album of the Week 3-21-26

Afternoon folks!

More great stuff this week! Starting off we've got a live album from a great Chicago blues guitarist, Eddie Taylor, followed by an album from a great Delta blues guitarist, Big Jack Johnson backed by harmonica player Kim Wilson (best known for his work with the Fabulous Thunderbirds) and Pinetop Perkins. After that there's an album of raucous, upbeat blues from Sandra Hall and some modern Zydeco from Buckwheat Zydeco. Then it's on to a live concert from The Band back in 1971 and we finish up with a 60's psychedelic album from a relatively obscure group called Fever Tree.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!
