Jorma Kaukonen

Album of the Week 9-7-24

Afternoon folks!

There's plenty of blues for ya this week. We've got albums from Texas guitar great Phillip Walker and blues composer, pianist and producer Sonny Thompson. We've also got a great album featuring Sippie Wallace and Otis Spann backed up by the Jim Kweskin Jug band - this album is an overlooked gem, don't miss it. After that there's blues rock - a solo album from Jorma Kaukonen (Hot Tuna, Jefferson Airplane), an album from The Fabulous Thunderbirds and a radio interview with Dave Edmunds which includes a live version of his big hit "I Hear You Knockin'." We finish up in the diversity department with country guy Charlie Rich and an album with some great tunes, including "Mohair Sam" and "I Washed My Hands In Muddy Water."

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

There's some great ear-treats this week. Starting off, there's an album from Albert King and an album with 60's era Chicago blues recordings of James Cotton, Otis Rush and Homesick James. From there, you can boogie with Canned Heat, rock with the MC5 and then mellow out a bit with Bonnie Raitt. Coming into the home stretch, there's a Jorma Kaukonen album of country bluesish tunes and finishing up in the diversity department, there's an album by German prog-rockers Triumvirat.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Lots of great stuff this week! Starting off with some blues/string band music from Martin, Bogan & Armstrong, we progress to some straight blues with Leon Thomas. After that, it's off to blues-rock land with albums from Elvin Bishop, Johnny Winter, Leslie West (from the band Mountain) and Jorma Kaukonen (Hot Tuna, Jefferson Airplane). We've got some soul from Tower of Power, the first ever rock opera from The Pretty Things and we finish off with some prog rock from Godley & Creme.

Well, there you go. I hope you all are having a great weekend. Enjoy!
