Afternoon folks!

This week we have beaucoup de blues! Starting out we've got an old Junior Wells album followed by a compilation of Chicago blues from Lonnie Brooks, Pinetop Perkins and the Sons of the Blues (S.O.B. Band). After that we have some soul-blues from Johnnie Taylor in his Stax period followed by New Orleans artist Johnny Adams, backed by some fabulous horn arrangements and Wayne Bennett on guitar on most tracks. Following that it's on to some blues-rock with ZZ Top. Moving on to our diversity albums for the week, there's a compilation of british singles from the Immediate label, then get ready to yodel your blues away with country icon Jimmie Rodgers. We finish up with a radio program that features Mance Lipscomb, sponsored by the Social Security Administration, recorded during the great folk music scare of the 60's.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!
