Afternoon folks!

More great stuff this week (surprise!) Anyway, starting off we've got an album from the great Chicago blues harmonica player, James Cotton, followed by a compilation album from a talented fellow that far too few people know about, Eugene Church. After that we've got an album of tunes from a bunch of Delta blues musicians. Big Joe Williams, Luther Huff and Willie Love. Moving on to more modern bluesy music we've got a live album from the Amos Garrett, Doug Sahm and Gene Taylor Band, followed by a blues rock album from Dave Alvin. We finish up in the diversity department with an album from the Texas Tornados a band that's stylistically a little hard to pin down but well worth a listen.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Afternoon folks!

This week finishes off my collection of the American Folk Blues Festival recordings, I am pretty sure that's all of them that were made and commercially distributed. It's an excellent series that features quite an array of blues musicians. Also this week, from the diversity department is an interesting live album from Dave Alvin and the Guilty Men worth checking out.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Afternoon folks!

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!
