Huey Piano Smith

Album of the Week 10-7-23

Afternoon folks!

Well, after a few days youtube increased my daily upload limit to 70% of what it used to be, so there's a little more here than I was expecting earlier this week.

We've got some serious blues from Chicago blues guitarist Fenton Robinson, followed by an album by guitarist and singer Bumble Bee Slim backed by some serious jazz players and we finish up with a compilation from New Orleans songwriter and piano player Huey "Piano" Smith and His Clowns.

In the blues rock vein, we've got an album from the Blues Magoos. After that there's a half-speed mastered reissue pressed on really quiet vinyl of It's A Beautiful Day's self-titled album - to my ear the best version of it out there.

We finish up with the Holy Modal Rounders doing their folk/blues/rock/sarcasm best.

Album of the Week - 10-1-22

Afternoon folks!

Well, here's another bunch of albums for you guys. There's blues albums by Freddie King (a compilation of early recordings) and John Lee Hooker. There's some zydeco with Clifton Chenier, some classic New Orleans r&b with Huey "Piano" Smith and the Clowns and some blues rock with Dave Edmunds. There's even a couple of bluegrass albums from Country Gazette. What's not to like?

Happy listening and have a great weekend!
