Album of the Week 12-20-25

Afternoon folks!

There's some awesome blues music here this week. Starting off is Big Mama Thornton with the Muddy Waters Blues Band in 1966, a really great album, followed by Junior Wells a few years later accompanied by Buddy Guy, Otis Spann and a bunch of other Chicago blues luminaries. After that is an EP that I picked up years ago from a cutout bin of some of Jimmy McCracklin's early hits on Chess records. Following that is James Harman, a fine harmonica player and we finish up with some bluegrass with Peter Rowan - great stuff!

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Afternoon folks!

This week we start out with a nice compilation of T-Bone Walker's stuff followed by another compilation of some of Professor Longhair's earlyish recordings in New Orleans. After that we've got a bunch of blues-rock starting out with the Blues Magoos, followed by Pacific Gas & Electric and harmonica wizard James Harman. We finish off in the diversity category with a Buffalo Springfield album.

Enjoy and have a great weekend!

Afternoon folks!

We've got piano great Otis Spann this week and a compilation of earlyish Detroit Blues featuring John Lee Hooker, Eddie Kirkland, Eddie Burns and Sylvester Cotton. Following that, on the harmonica we've got a great album by James Harman. Then there's a boatload of blues rock with Foghat, The J. Geils Band and Chris Youlden (formerly of Savoy Brown). After that there's one of my favorite Van Morrison albums, one by piano pounder Marcia Ball and we finish up with a later album by Steeleye Span.

Enjoy!
