Afternoon folks!

Another week, some more great blues! Starting out there's a Stax-era album from Albert King followed by some great old recordings of Kansas City jazz and blues pianist Jay McShann. After that we've got a live album from the Neville Brothers, blues-rock albums from Redbone and Peter Green. There's an album from (The Band's drummer, mandolinist and singer) Levon Helm and we finish up with an album from Memphis musician Don Nix.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Afternoon folks!

Well, here we go again. New Orleans piano legend Professor Longhair starts us off with a live album, Percy Sledge follows up with a great soul album and then it's back to the piano again with Jay McShann, a staple of the Kansas City blues. There's a Fleetwood Mac compilation from back when they were a blues band and an album by another British group, Brian Auger's Oblivion Express and sticking with the British thing, there's a great Richard Thompson album. After that, there's a classic album by Gram Parsons and some Commander Cody finishes things up.

Enjoy!
