Afternoon folks!

Well, it's a deceptively small haul this week. First we've got an album from blues harmonica player Junior Parker, followed by the first part of a 2 part Howlin' Wolf compilation, which is so large it took a few days to upload. It's worth checking out, it's not a greatest hits compilation and features stuff that you don't hear often. Finishing up in the diversity department is a nice album from Tom Ball & Kenny Sultan.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Afternoon folks!

Happy holiday weekend! We've got some stuff to amuse you for a bit, here. Starting off with some Chicago blues, we've got a live Junior Wells album from the 60's followed by an album of Otis Spann tickling the ivories for you. After that it's on to the father of British blues, Alexis Korner. Then it's back to Texas for an album from a fine guitarist Anson Funderburgh and the Rockets, after which we bounce back to Britain again for a live album from Chicken Shack later in their career. After that we've got some folky/acoustic kinda blues from Tom Ball and Kenny Sultan which segues nicely into a classic album from Leon Redbone. We finish off in the diversity department with some prog rock from Gentle Giant.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great holiday weekend!

On balance this week is going to be a little folkier than some others. We start off with some serious blues from Phillip Walker and Lonesome Sundown and go from there to a folkier blues with Tom Ball & Kenny Sultan and then on to Chet Atkins & Doc Watson. After that it's on to some r&b with Tracy Nelson followed by a 70's Dr. John album. Then it's back to some folk-rock with Lindisfarne and we finish off with a solo album from John Starling, vocalist and guitar player for the bluegrass band The Seldom Scene.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

This week we're starting off with a late 60's album from James Cotton, when apparently his producer was going for a jazzier sound. After that there's a live album of Stax artists performing at the Apollo Theater (I think in 1964) including Otis Redding, Rufus Thomas and Ben E. King.

We've got a bunch of blues-rock with Delaney & Bonnie with Eric Clapton (I think that the gods of copyright blocked the last tune, a nice Little Richard medley), followed by Steppenwolf's first throwing in the towel album (Rest In Peace), followed by Dr. Feelgood's first album.

Then there's a hard to classify album by Tom Ball and Kenny Sultan, respectively a very talented harmonica player and a very talented acoustic guitarist.

We finish off this week's bounty with some Oakland soul from Tower of Power.

Enjoy!
