Album of the Week 10-12-24

Afternoon folks!

It's a good week to listen to the blues, and we're starting off with Albert King's classic Stax album Born Under A Bad Sign, an album that grabbed a lot of folks by the ears and wouldn't let go. Following that is an album of Cousin Joe (Pleasant) from New Orleans' early recordings, there's some really great stuff in there. After that we move on to blues rock with some late 60's Lonnie Mack and Creedence Clearwater Revival after which is an assortment of recordings of Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Nicky Hopkins and others. We finish up with some prog rock from Be Bop Deluxe.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Album of the Week 4-6-24

Afternoon folks!

This week, we start off with two of the greatest blues harmonica players, a compilation of early recordings from Sonny Boy Williamson and and album from James Cotton. Following that there's a 70's album from Albert King. Entering the blues-rock segment, Lonnie Mack follows that with (I think) his first album from 1963, and there are albums from Johnny Winter and Dr. Feelgood. In the diversity department this week there's a compilation album from The Move which I will add a few more songs to later this weekend.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!
