Afternoon folks!

I've got a couple of live blues albums for you this week, one from BB King and one (a UK import) from Albert Collins and there's a Buddy Guy album to keep you hummin' for the rest of the weekend. Following that there's a big bunch of blues rock, albums by Rory Gallagher, Harvey Mandel (guitarist for Canned Heat), slide wizard David Lindley and a live album from Mountain. Finishing it all off is an album from Spirit.

Enjoy!

Afternoon folks!

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!

Tectonic Upheaval.

Nothing will be the same. The changes will be more profound than the minor changes in the River of Heraclitus, changing with current and flow constantly--until it's dry. NO thing unchanged. A few richer. Many poorer or dead. Customs broken. Inner workings of institutions made visible like the fallen walls of a London apartment block during the Blitz.
