Afternoon folks!

This is another good week for the blues. Starting off we've got a late 70's Muddy Waters album, followed by a collection of Chicago blues acts (Carey Bell, Magic Slim & The Teardrops and Johnny "Big Moose" Walker) and finishing off with a compilation of LaVern Baker singles. After that, it's blues rock time with a greatest hits comp from Wet Willie, a later 70's Climax Blues Band album, an Elvin Bishop album and a Pretty Things album. We finish off in the diversity department with a hard to pigeonhole stylistically, but nonetheless interesting album from Don Nix.

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!

This week I have a little less stuff than previous weeks because Youtube's algorithm has decided that it doesn't want me to upload very much - about a third of an album a day now, where previously I could upload a whole album every day pretty much. I had a couple of amusing chats with Youtube's "support" chatbot the second of which I'll embed at the bottom of the post, sadly I discarded the first without saving it.

Anyway, this week we've got Chicago blues piano player Eddie Boyd backed up by Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac to start us off. After that, there's The Paul Butterfield Band's Pigboy Crabshaw album followed by albums by John Mayall, The Elvin Bishop Band and Rita Coolidge for blues-rock content. Then we finish off in the rock vein with albums from Heart and Funkadelic.

Enjoy!

This week we've got blues from Chicago blues harmonica player Junior Wells and an album from Luther Johnson (also know as Luther "Georgia Boy Snake" Johnson, not the other Luther Johnson that played with Muddy Waters as well, sometimes known as Luther "Guitar Jr." Johnson). Johnson is backed by Muddy Waters and his band. After that, there's an early Elvin Bishop Group album some Link Wray tunes and some early recordings of Duane and Greg Allman before they found their groove, though there are some hints of what was to come there. After that there's an album from Jo Jo Gunne which features their big hit "Run, Run, Run." Then there's some folk blues and general fun with Jim Kweskin and the Jug Band (featuring Maria Muldaur before she was Maria Muldaur) and for a bit of diversity, there's an album by a band formed by a previous member of the Fairport Convention, (Ian) Matthews Southern Comfort.

Have a great weekend and enjoy the tunes!

Afternoon folks!

There's some more goodies for you this week. We start out with a late 60's album from Jimmy Witherspoon, followed by an album of a New Orleans piano "professor," Tuts Washington. We've got a bunch of blues-rock - a mostly instrumental album by Harvey Mandel (from Canned Heat and elsewhere), followed by a mid 70's Elvin Bishop album and we've got a mid 70's Foghat album. Following that there are a bunch of tracks from a Doc Watson album which I may add some to later - and we finish up with a live double album from The Tubes.

Have a great weekend and enjoy the tunes!
