Afternoon folks!

As always, there's a bunch of great music this week, starting off with one of Chicago's greatest harmonica players in his later years, Big Walter Horton. After that there's an another album in the Living Chicago Blues series featuring A.C. Reed, Scotty and the Rib Tips and piano player Lovie Lee with harmonica player Carey Bell. After that it's an album of r&b from Wilson Pickett followed by some live blues-rock from Creedence Clearwater Revival. Moving on to bluegrass we have an album of Doc Watson with Clint Howard and the Blue Ridge Mountain Boys and we finish up with a rock album from overlooked girl band, Fanny.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

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!

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.

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!
