Afternoon folks!

This week we start off with a bang, it's the 1972 Ann Arbor Blues and Jazz Festival, featuring lots of great classic Chicago blues artists and others. After that, Jimmy Witherspoon mellows thing out followed by a late 70's Dr. John album. Following that it's off to the realm of blues-rock with a live album from Creedence Clearwater Revival, a Blues Image album and another overlooked album from Robin Trower and Jack Bruce. Finishing up we've got an EP from the Kinks.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Afternoon folks!

There's some more goodies for you this week. We start out with a late 60's album from Jimmy Witherspoon, followed by an album of a New Orleans piano "professor," Tuts Washington. We've got a bunch of blues-rock - a mostly instrumental album by Harvey Mandel (from Canned Heat and elsewhere), followed by a mid 70's Elvin Bishop album and we've got a mid 70's Foghat album. Following that there are a bunch of tracks from a Doc Watson album which I may add some to later - and we finish up with a live double album from The Tubes.

Have a great weekend and enjoy the tunes!

Afternoon folks!

This week, I uploaded a bunch of albums. There's a couple of obviously 70's era albums - one by Jimmy Witherspoon and a really odd Howlin' Wolf album where if you listen carefully you can hear the producer thinking aloud, "let's make him sound like one of those British rockers and cash in!"

There's a playlist of stuff from a rockabilly compilation that includes tunes by Link Wray, Carl Perkins and Sleepy LaBeef.

Also, albums from the Legendary Blues Band, Roomful of Blues, Earl Hooker and Doc & Merle Watson.

Enjoy!
