Afternoon folks!

There's a buncha great music for you this week. Starting off, we've got an album compilation of some of guitar wizard Earl Hooker's best early recordings followed by an album from Magic Sam. After that is a sort of unusual Etta James album with lots of lush string arrangements from her early years at Chess when they were trying to figure out what sort of material was going to attract the largest audience for her talents. Following that, there's an early album from Danny Gatton, showcasing a wide variety of genres and always amazing guitar chops. Speaking of guitar chops, we finish off this week with an album from jazz guitarist Kenny Burrell.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

This week we've got some great stuff especially for guitar fans. Starting out we have a live album from New Orleans blues guitarist Snooks Eaglin, followed by a compilation of Chicago blues harmonica player Billy Boy Arnold's early recordings. After that we have another live album from Fleetwood Mac back when they were a blues band featuring Peter Green on guitar. After that it's on to some live rockabilly with Robert Gordon and Danny Gatton and we finish up in the bluegrass lane with a couple of sets from Old & In The Way featuring Jerry Garcia on the banjo along with Vassar Clements, Peter Rowan, David Grisman and John Kahn.

It's a pretty good blues week, this week. Starting off we've got a compilation of a couple of 60's and early 70's albums (with bonus material) from Chicago blues slide guitar player J.B. Hutto, followed by an album from a guitarist from Detroit, Johnnie Bassett. After that there's an album of New Orleans blues and barrelhouse piano from Champion Jack Dupree very late in his career. Then it's on to a fine blues-rock album from Rory Gallagher and we finish up with an album from another insanely accomplished guitarist, Danny Gatton.
