Joe Liggins

Album of the Week 3-15-25

Afternoon folks!

Here it comes, there are some blues for you - starting off with albums from harmonica player Little Sonny and Hound Dog Taylor and the HouseRockers. Following that we've got some r&b albums from Curtis Mayfield followed by some serious old-school r&b from Joe Liggins and his Honeydrippers. Then we have a nice acoustic blues album from Jesse Fuller and after that it's off to blues rock with albums from Band member Levon Helm and brit blues band Chicken Shack. Then we move into the diversity department with an album of ska from The Selecter and an album of british folk/rock from the Oyster Band.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Album of the Week 3-2-24

Afternoon folks!

It's a great week this week. Starting off, there's a compilation of later recordings by early Chicago bluesman Tampa Red. After that there's another compilation of some great r&b by piano player Joe Liggins and his band. Finishing off the blues category there's a half of a live album by B.B. King which I'll post the other half eventually after I do some more cleaning up of the disc. In a category of its own is an album by the Jimmy Castor Bunch which you'll probably recognize one of his big early 70's hits, "The Troglodyte Song," it's kind of an interesting album. In the blues-rock category there are albums by John Mayall and Canned Heat and finishing us up in the diversity category is a solo album by Rick Danko of The Band.

Enjoy and have a great weekend!
