Gil Scott-Heron

Album of the Week 4-26-25

Afternoon folks!

This week we start out with a couple of albums from blues harmonica players, Snooky Pryor and Sam Myers, followed by some serious acoustic country blues from John Jackson. After that there's Gil Scott-Heron's double album of jazz and blues from the bicentennial era. Then it's on to blues-rock with two albums featuring guitarist Peter Green, the first at his peak from his tenure in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers and then a late career album from him. Finishing us up is an album of prog rock from Gentle Giant.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Album of the Week 3-8-25

Afternoon folks!

It's gonna be a good week because we're starting off with a Matt "Guitar" Murphy solo album with some really impressive guitfiddle playin'. After that we've got a live compilation of a variety of blues performers, most of whom followers of the Evening Blues will be familiar with, there's a notable blues rock perfomance on it from Stevie Ray Vaughn, early in his career. Following that there's a Taj Mahal album and a Savoy Brown album from their late career rock era. After that there are a couple of jazzy albums one from Danny Gatton and Tom Principato with some fairly amazing guitar playing and after that another from Gil Scott-Heron. Following that is an album from slide guitar monster Bob Brozman and we finish off with an album from David Bromberg.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Some of my favorite "holiday"/seasonal tunes (with a little narrative)...

Like many members of this online community, I'm somehwat of a music freak. I've worked in the media (ad, p.r., journalism, etc.; corporate, political, non-profits/community org's, etc.) and tech-related sectors my entire life; but a significant portion of the work that I've done in those fields, as far as the music/entertainment industry is concerned, has been for little or no compensation (although there were more than just a few exceptions to this last statement).
