Afternoon folks!

This is another good week for the blues. Starting off we've got a late 70's Muddy Waters album, followed by a collection of Chicago blues acts (Carey Bell, Magic Slim & The Teardrops and Johnny "Big Moose" Walker) and finishing off with a compilation of LaVern Baker singles. After that, it's blues rock time with a greatest hits comp from Wet Willie, a later 70's Climax Blues Band album, an Elvin Bishop album and a Pretty Things album. We finish off in the diversity department with a hard to pigeonhole stylistically, but nonetheless interesting album from Don Nix.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

If you enjoy the blues, your ears might be busy this weekend. Starting off, we've got an album from BB King, followed an early Albert Collins album, followed by an album by Chicago blues harmonica player Carey Bell and finishing off the blues selections with a compilation album from Jimmy Johnson, Eddie Shaw and Left Hand Frank. After that there's a Wailers (reggae) album and an album from Texas musician Doug Sahm along with some excellent sidemen including Dr. John, David Bromberg and Flaco Jimenez. Then there's a rock album from a largely-overlooked all-girl rock band, Fanny. We finish off in the diversity department with a late 60's country album from Carl Perkins.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Afternoon folks!

This week I've uploaded a bunch of quality stuff. There's an album of harmonica blues from Carey Bell and a compilation of a bunch of Johnny Shines and Robert Lockwood's early singles on the JOB label. In the blues rock category, there's an early not-too-common album of live recordings from Roy Buchanan and albums from Rory Gallagher and Blue Cheer. There's some 70's west-coast bluegrass/rock from Muleskinner a band with Clarence White (guitarist from the Byrds and earlier the bluegrass band The Kentucky Colonels), David Grisman (mandolin player who played on some Grateful Dead material and projects with Jerry Garcia), Peter Rowan (bluegrass singer and guitarist from Bill Monroe's Bluegrass Boys through Seatrain to Old And In The Way and great solo stuff), Richard Greene (fiddler extraordinaire) and Bill Keith (accomplished, widely recorded Banjo player). Finishing off is a Richard & Linda Thompson album.

Enjoy!
