Afternoon folks!

This week there's some great stuff, starting with Chicago blues guitarist Magic Slim recorded live, followed by some great late 40's through early 50's r&b recordings from piano player Jimmy McCracklin and the Blues Blasters. Following that there are albums from harmonica guy Mark Hummel and a really excellent, not to be missed Mike Bloomfield album. Shifting gears a bit, we've got a mid-60's album from Doc & Merle Watson and in that country-folk vein with a little added electricity is a live album from Gram Parsons and the Fallen Angels (featuring Emmylou Harris). Finishing up, get ready to get spaced-out with Stomu Yamashta, Steve Winwood and Micheal Shrieve.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Afternoon folks!

It's another good haul this week. I've uploaded a late 60's album from James Cotton and a compilation of harmonica player Junior Parker's tunes. The harmonica goodness doesn't stop there though, there's some early 70's blues rock with the J. Geils Band, the Climax Blues Band and Blues Image's second album (the one with their big hit "Ride Captain Ride" on it). Following that there's a live Emmylou Harris album on which she sings a few tunes that she did early on in her career with Gram Parsons. Finishing up is a double album of Vassar Clements, notably with David Bromberg as a sideman.

Enjoy!

Afternoon folks!

Another week, another fine mess of blues. This week there's some old country-blues banjo style from the 20's. Dock Boggs was an early country blues player and you'll find lyrics and patterns in his music that show up in later blues compositions. There's also some more modern country blues from Doc Watson.

There's some serious Chicago blues from Eddie Taylor. There's a bunch of blues rock from Roy Buchanan, Free and Evan Johns and the H-Bombs.

There are also albums from Emmylou Harris, It's A Beautiful Day and Renaissance for a little variety in your listening.

I will be adding tunes to the Dock Boggs, Doc Watson and Eddie Taylor playlists. the former sometime next week the latter two over the weekend.

Enjoy!
