King Curtis

Album of the Week 3-29-25

Afternoon folks!

This week we've got a bunch of good stuff, starting out with a couple of classic albums. The first is John Lee Hooker and Canned Heat's early 70's double album and then there's an Etta James album from 1960. Following that is an album from the somewhat obscure rock 'n roller Roy Head followed by a more recent album from a fellow local to me, Big Joe Maher, who is an excellent drummer and vocalist. After that there's some Funkadelic and a somewhat peculiar but amusing album from King Curtis. You may think you know country music, but you ain't heard nothin' until you hear King Curtis do Tumblin' Tumbleweeds. Heh. After that we've got some rock from Alvin Lee (formerly of Ten Years After) and we finish up with some prog rock from Gentle Giant.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Album of the Week 6-29-24

Afternoon folks!

Here we go with three blues albums this week, King Curtis and Champion Jack Dupree start us off with a live album followed by albums from B.B. King and Bo Diddley. After that, there's an album of folkey/bluesy acoustic music from Paul Geremia and some electric blues rock from Blues Magoos and ZZ Top. We finish off in the diversity department with an album from British rock band, The Rumour.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Album of the Week 2-10-24

Afternoon folks!

Here we go. Starting off we've got an album of acoustic blues from one of Leroy Carr's guitar accompanists, Bill Gaither, followed by a compilation of Chicago harmonica blues. After that, I've uploaded half of a compilation album of Albert King and Little Milton Campbell. Youtube had a site error the other night and I wasn't able to get Little Milton's side uploaded as I had planned, but I'll try to get it uploaded as soon as I can. After that, there's some blues rock with Johnny Winter And followed by a live album from Robin Trower. In the diversity department, there's an amusing solo album from Peter Stampfel, one of the founders of the Holy Modal Rounders. Finally, there's a single from King Curtis with Eric Clapton that never got much attention but should have.

Have a great weekend and enjoy!
