Afternoon folks!

This week we've got 3 blues albums, 2 Chicago style albums from Fenton Robinson and Mighty Joe Young and one traditional blues album from Arthur Crudup. After that there are albums from Procol Harum and John Mayall's Bluesbreakers (a late 80's version of the Bluesbreakers) - and then you can chill out with an album from Leon Redbone (ably assisted by Dr. John and David Bromberg). Finishing off in the diversity department there's an album of early prog rock from The Nice.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Afternoon folks!

There's a bunch of good stuff this week. There's some serious Chicago blues with an album from (Chess artist) Jimmy Rogers and a compilation from Howlin' Wolf. After that there's a pile of blues rock with albums from Delaney & Bonnie & Friends, Harvey Mandel (Canned Heat) and West, Bruce & Laing.

Then there's some pleasant, bluesy burblings by Leon Redbone and we finish off with some genuinely unusual music from The Fugs.

Have a great weekend!

Album of the Week 8-6-22

Afternoon folks!

I've got some great blues for you. There's a live album from Buddy Guy & Jr. Wells and a nice 60's compilation from BB King. There's some blues rock from some of the usual suspects, Rory Gallagher and Ten Years After - I know that I've been posting a lot of their stuff, but I'm just working my way through the box that they were in. For a little variety, there's a live Flying Burrito Brothers album and some cool old jazz-blues with Leon Redbone.

Enjoy!
