Afternoon folks!

There's a bunch of great stuff this week. Starting off, we've got two women blues belters from different generations of the blues, Koko Taylor and Big Maybelle. After that we've got a 1968 album from a fellow known as the father of the British blues, Alexis Korner followed by a mid-70's album from harmonica player Charlie Musselwhite. Then there's a great album from guitarist Wilko Johnson (from Dr. Feelgood) and Roger Daltrey (from the Who) and Creedence Clearwater Revival's first album. After that, there's a late career album from Lonnie Mack and we finish up with a rock album from guitarist Chris Spedding.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

This week there's more great stuff. There's a Muddy Waters live album, an album by a fairly obscure Texas blues artist, Weldon "Juke Boy" Bonner and another Mississippi John Hurt album recorded after his "rediscovery" by folk music enthusiasts. There's an album by harmonica player Charlie Musselwhite, two Savoy Brown albums and a late 70's album by Peter Green.

Enjoy!

More great stuff! Muddy Waters. Sonny Boy Williamson with Jimmy Page - recorded in 1965 when Page was mostly working as a studio sideman, there are only hints of his later style, but Sonny Boy is great of course. Jimmy Reed and Charlie Musselwhite for a little more harmonica goodness. There's John Mayall's transition album to a more jazz-infused style, a mid-70's Savoy Brown album and some bluegrass with the Doug Dillard Band and fiddler Byron Berline.

Enjoy!
