LaVern Baker

Album of the Week 11-30-24

Afternoon folks!

We've got a bunch of good stuff for you this week. Starting off, we've got an album from Chicago blues guitarist Lonnie Brooks, followed by blues singer LaVern Baker with an album of Bessie Smith tunes. After that, we move on to an album of cajun music with Michael Doucet and Beausoleil. Then we've got a couple of blues-rock albums, a late 60's album from Lonnie Mack and an early 80's double album from The Nighthawks. We finish off with some Latin rock from Malo.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Album of the Week 9-14-24

Afternoon folks!

This is another good week for the blues. Starting off we've got a late 70's Muddy Waters album, followed by a collection of Chicago blues acts (Carey Bell, Magic Slim & The Teardrops and Johnny "Big Moose" Walker) and finishing off with a compilation of LaVern Baker singles. After that, it's blues rock time with a greatest hits comp from Wet Willie, a later 70's Climax Blues Band album, an Elvin Bishop album and a Pretty Things album. We finish off in the diversity department with a hard to pigeonhole stylistically, but nonetheless interesting album from Don Nix.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!
