Mose Allison
Album of the Week 2-8-25
Submitted by joe shikspack on Sat, 02/08/2025 - 3:00pmAfternoon folks!
Ready? Here we go. Starting out we've got a compilation of Rufus Thomas' r&b hits, followed by albums from Jimmy Rushing and Mose Allison in the jazz/blues vein. After that there's an album of Chicago blues from the Siegel-Schwall Band. Moving on to the musical diversity section there's a double album from a band that I've been seeing at festivals and a couple of nearby gigs that features an incredible younger guitarist and band with strong hints of the Allman Brothers and the Grateful Dead in their playing, Daniel Donato's Cosmic Country - it's worth a listen. Finishing up we've got some serious bluegrass from Peter Rowan.
Just as a reminder, if youtube is still screwed up and the full album embed only plays the first song, click the "on youtube" link to listen to the full album.

Another week, another batch of albums for you guys. There's a compilation of Nappy Brown's earlier days doing r&b tunes, piano player Mose Allison has a live album and another piano player, Marcia Ball follows with a studio album. We've got a late 60's Butterfield Blues Band album and a Ten Years After album from later in their career - kind of a departure from their earlier albums. There's two albums by Richard Thompson and an album by prog-rockers Be Bop Deluxe (which the gods of copyright seem to have chosen to block a goodly chunk of).
Enjoy!
11/15 is America Recycles Day, really

Submitted by neoconned on Wed, 11/16/2016 - 8:31pmJazz-blues singer and pianist Mose Allison died yesterday. He was an influence to the likes of Pete Townshend, John Mayall, Leon Russell (who himself died just a few days ago), and Bonnie Raitt. I'll miss him, and I hope to introduce you to some of his better works so that you might miss him as well.
