Afternoon folks!

I hope that you all are having a great weekend. However it turned out, there's sure to be some blues here to make it better. Starting out, there's an album from Muddy Waters with some of his lesser-known early 70's tunes on it, followed by an excellent B.B. King album. After that, it's blues rock with John Hammond and the Nighthawks and Little Feat. After that there's an album for all you guitar pickers out there, Merle Travis and Joe Maphis pick away sometimes at improbable speeds with clean articulation that should make most guitar-shredders jaws drop. We finish off with a 1966 album from Small Faces.

Enjoy the tunes and have a good one!

Afternoon folks!

Happy almost New Year's Eve!

I've got some more music for you to end the year in style with. First up is Chicago blues mandolin player Yank Rachell playing some classic blues. Next is the recently departed New Orleans blues guitarist, Walter "Wolfman" Washington. Then there's the left-coast chromatic harmonica wizard, William Clarke followed by some rock and roll by Ten Years After. There's a Van Morrison live double-album after that and we finish up with some serious fingerpicking by Merle Travis and Chet Atkins.

You guys have a great one and I'll see you next year. Heh.
