On balance this week is going to be a little folkier than some others. We start off with some serious blues from Phillip Walker and Lonesome Sundown and go from there to a folkier blues with Tom Ball & Kenny Sultan and then on to Chet Atkins & Doc Watson. After that it's on to some r&b with Tracy Nelson followed by a 70's Dr. John album. Then it's back to some folk-rock with Lindisfarne and we finish off with a solo album from John Starling, vocalist and guitar player for the bluegrass band The Seldom Scene.
Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Happy almost New Year's Eve!
I've got some more music for you to end the year in style with. First up is Chicago blues mandolin player Yank Rachell playing some classic blues. Next is the recently departed New Orleans blues guitarist, Walter "Wolfman" Washington. Then there's the left-coast chromatic harmonica wizard, William Clarke followed by some rock and roll by Ten Years After. There's a Van Morrison live double-album after that and we finish up with some serious fingerpicking by Merle Travis and Chet Atkins.
You guys have a great one and I'll see you next year. Heh.
