Afternoon folks!

There's some great blues here for you this week, starting off with a B.B. King album recorded with a bunch of prominent British blues-rock types back in the early 70's. Following that is a German Clarence Gatemouth Brown release, showing off a more countryish blues style with a good helping of Gatemouth's fiddle playing. After that we've got an album of a couple of lesser-known Chicago blues players, Morris Pejoe and Arthur "Big Boy" Spires the latter of whom is accompanied by Willie "Big Eyes" Smith in his early incarnation as a harmonica player before he became a drummer for (among others) Muddy Waters.

Next we move on to a great album from David Bromberg followed by Paul Geremia (a lesser-known acoustic blues guitarist and harmonica player). After that it's diversity time, there's some rock and roll with NRBQ, some country rock from Richie Furay (formerly of Buffalo Springfield and Poco) and we finish off with a fine album from Emmylou Harris.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Starting off this week we've got blues albums from Chicago harmonica player Carey Bell and his son Lurrie on guitar and Texas guitarist Clarence Gatemouth Brown. Following that we've got a mess of blues rock with albums from Washington DC band The Nighthawks, Roy Buchanan, Johnny Winter, Robin Trower and Brownsville Station. In the diversity department we've got albums from 80's rock band The Swimming Pool Q's and by Buffalo Springfield.

Enjoy and have a great weekend!

It's a smaller haul this week because I missed uploading a couple of days, but maybe we'll make it up with quality.

Starting off, there's Taj Mahal's eponymous album with an epic version of "Statesboro Blues" on it. After that there's a 1960 Bo Diddley comp album followed by Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown and Roy Clark collaborating on a fun album. Following that we switch to blues-rock with a Ram Jam album with their big hit on it (Black Betty), then there's an album by Dave Alvin and Fred Wesley (a long-time member of the JB's) lays some serious funk on us. We finish off with some old-timey music by the Red Clay Ramblers.

Have a great weekend and enjoy the music!

Afternoon folks!

I hope everybody is having a good holiday weekend. To that end, here's some good stuff for you guys to check out.

There's a Clarence Gatemouth Brown album and a great Sippie Wallace album from the 80's with Bonnie Raitt guesting. After that we've got a bunch of blues rock with Paul Butterfield in his post Butterfield Blues Band period followed by a classic album by The Band. After that there's a compilation of some early Duane and Greg Allman recordings followed by Delaney & Bonnie. We finish up with some prog rock from Nektar.

Enjoy!

This week (surprise) there's more great stuff to listen to. There's a live Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown album, a collection of Leroy Carr recordings and a Neville Brothers live album. I found a long-lost album with Charlie Musselwhite, Harvey Mandel and Barry Goldberg lurking in my basement, cleaned it up and it sounds pretty decent now, perhaps a little of its period, but cool nonetheless. There's a collection of Gram Parsons and Flying Burrito Brothers recordings and an EP of Gram Parsons and the Fallen Angels a Rosanne Cash album and another moldy oldie album from the basement by the Five Man Electrical Band - I think it's their debut album. Finally, there's a part of a Dr. Feelgood live album that I will upload the remaining tunes from on Sunday sometime.

Enjoy the splendiferous bounty of my basement!

Afternoon folks!

There's some blues rock with The Climax Blues Band, Rory Gallagher and a few tracks from a 1968 Traffic album (there might be more tracks in this playlist later).

Enjoy!
