Eddie Shaw

Album of the Week 7-13-24

Afternoon folks!

If you enjoy the blues, your ears might be busy this weekend. Starting off, we've got an album from BB King, followed an early Albert Collins album, followed by an album by Chicago blues harmonica player Carey Bell and finishing off the blues selections with a compilation album from Jimmy Johnson, Eddie Shaw and Left Hand Frank. After that there's a Wailers (reggae) album and an album from Texas musician Doug Sahm along with some excellent sidemen including Dr. John, David Bromberg and Flaco Jimenez. Then there's a rock album from a largely-overlooked all-girl rock band, Fanny. We finish off in the diversity department with a late 60's country album from Carl Perkins.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

This week we start out with some really fun New Orleans funk from the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, followed by an album by Howlin' Wolf's horn player for many years, Eddie Shaw. After that we've got some r&b from The Persuaders, some folks will recognize the title cut because of The Pretenders cover of it. After that there's blues rock from Elvin Bishop with a double live album, followed by an album of jazz-blues-rock fusion from Harvey Mandel and another fusion album from John Mayall. After that, in the diversity department we've got a Los Lobos album and a 60's pop-psychedelic album from The Lemon Pipers.

Have a great weekend and enjoy!
