Afternoon folks!

There's a buncha great music for you this week. Starting off, we've got an album compilation of some of guitar wizard Earl Hooker's best early recordings followed by an album from Magic Sam. After that is a sort of unusual Etta James album with lots of lush string arrangements from her early years at Chess when they were trying to figure out what sort of material was going to attract the largest audience for her talents. Following that, there's an early album from Danny Gatton, showcasing a wide variety of genres and always amazing guitar chops. Speaking of guitar chops, we finish off this week with an album from jazz guitarist Kenny Burrell.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Afternoon folks!

I've dragged some more good stuff out of the basement and cleaned it up - starting off with a great Chicago blues album by mandolin and guitar player Johnny Young backed up by Otis Spann and James Cotton (neither of whom need an introduction here i'm guessing). After that, there's a compilation of Magic Sam recordings. Then it's on to some blues rock with albums from The Elvin Bishop Group, The J. Geils Band and Foghat.

Following that there's an album by a later line up of the Flying Burrito Bros. and some New Orleans rock from The Radiators. After that there's a compilation of jazz-blues from Tiny Bradshaw.

We finish up with a jazz album by Bennie Wallace featuring (who'da thunk it?) Stevie Ray Vaughan and Dr. John.

Enjoy!

Afternoon folks!

This week we've got some excellent Chicago blues with Magic Sam and another album by a friend of his, Luther Allison. There's a bunch of other blues rock and rock with Hot Tuna (a double, live album), Ten Years After, most of Stone The Crows first album, the tragically under-appreciated Jesse Ed Davis, Van Morrison, Steeleye Span and finishing it off with a large anthology of The Easybeats who are mostly known in the U.S. for their hit "Friday On My Mind."

Enjoy!
