Afternoon folks!

It was a short week for me, and I didn't upload as much as usual, however, there's still some great stuff here. Starting off, there's a great classic Chicago blues album from pianist Otis Spann with a bunch of great sidemen. After that, we've got an album from Chicago harmonica player Big Wheeler and another one from country/blues artist Tracy Nelson (formerly of Mother Earth). Finishing us up is a fine album from Ry Cooder.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

This week, we've got some great Chicago blues from a compilation album that features mandolinist Johnny Young, guitarist Johnny Shines and harmonica player Big Walter Horton. Following that there's some late 60's blues from Aretha Franklin. Moving on to the blues-rock category, there's a John Mayall double album on which he's joined by Eric Clapton, Mick Taylor and Harvey Mandel. Then there's The Pretty Things self-titled first 1965 album and a Lee Michaels album. After that is a Japanese bootleg of a Bob Marley concert in London (originally broadcast on the BBC) and we finish up with a studio album from Dr. John.

Enjoy and have a great weekend!

This week I've uploaded a bunch of quality stuff. There's an album of harmonica blues from Carey Bell and a compilation of a bunch of Johnny Shines and Robert Lockwood's early singles on the JOB label. In the blues rock category, there's an early not-too-common album of live recordings from Roy Buchanan and albums from Rory Gallagher and Blue Cheer. There's some 70's west-coast bluegrass/rock from Muleskinner a band with Clarence White (guitarist from the Byrds and earlier the bluegrass band The Kentucky Colonels), David Grisman (mandolin player who played on some Grateful Dead material and projects with Jerry Garcia), Peter Rowan (bluegrass singer and guitarist from Bill Monroe's Bluegrass Boys through Seatrain to Old And In The Way and great solo stuff), Richard Greene (fiddler extraordinaire) and Bill Keith (accomplished, widely recorded Banjo player). Finishing off is a Richard & Linda Thompson album.

Enjoy!
