Afternoon folks!

Well, this week we're a little heavy on the blues rock, but we'll start out with a couple of blues records. Percy Mayfield starts us off with a compilation of some of his earlier recordings followed by New Orleans piano player Cousin Joe weighing in with a late career album from the mid-80's blues revival period. After that it's off to blues rock with an album from Mick Taylor (former guitarist for John Mayall's Bluesbreakers and the Rolling Stones), a live album from The Band, performing with some amazing horns, and a double album from the band Redbone. After that, there's an album from Parliament that somebody gave me years ago telling me it was great, so, well, you decide. Then there's some folk-rock from Lindisfarne and we finish off with some pure pop from Tommy James & The Shondells that's been lurking in my collection for years.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Well, we've got variety this week. Starting off, we've got a double album compilation of Elmore James tunes, a few of which include Arthur Crudup, Bobo Jenkins and John Brim. Then we've got an early 70's Taj Mahal album followed by a whole bunch of blues rock. There's half of a Steppenwolf live album (the other half is a long jam which I have to work out how to split for Youtube), a classic Mountain album and the Blues Magoos. Then there's a compilation of the lesser-known band Love followed by an early album by the band Lindisfarne (the gods of copyright may have blocked a tune or two from this depending upon where Youtube thinks you are), an album by Curved Air and finally a little jazz fusion from Weather Report.

Enjoy!

This week we've got blues with Champion Jack Dupree (joined on the first and last tracks by John Mayall & Eric Clapton), Jimmy Witherspoon with Jay McShann and Johnny Adams. There's some rock and blues rock with Dave Edmunds and Brian Setzer and this weeks diversity of styles is covered by Gram Parsons and Lindisfarne.

Enjoy!
