NRBQ

Album of the Week 5-10-25

Afternoon folks!

There's some great blues here for you this week, starting off with a B.B. King album recorded with a bunch of prominent British blues-rock types back in the early 70's. Following that is a German Clarence Gatemouth Brown release, showing off a more countryish blues style with a good helping of Gatemouth's fiddle playing. After that we've got an album of a couple of lesser-known Chicago blues players, Morris Pejoe and Arthur "Big Boy" Spires the latter of whom is accompanied by Willie "Big Eyes" Smith in his early incarnation as a harmonica player before he became a drummer for (among others) Muddy Waters.

Next we move on to a great album from David Bromberg followed by Paul Geremia (a lesser-known acoustic blues guitarist and harmonica player). After that it's diversity time, there's some rock and roll with NRBQ, some country rock from Richie Furay (formerly of Buffalo Springfield and Poco) and we finish off with a fine album from Emmylou Harris.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Album of the Week 1-4-25

Hot damn, it's a new year!

This week we got blues. There's a BB King album, an Albert King, Steve Cropper and Pops Staples album and there's a live Louis Jordan album from the Netherlands. After that we've got some blues and rock from NRBQ and we finish up with a reunion album from The (original) Animals with a few good tunes on it. Since I was out of town, I didn't get to upload as much as usual, but what the heck, there's some good stuff to enrich your weekend.

You all have a good one and enjoy the tunes!

It's a bluesy afternoon here. We've got a late-60's Lowell Fulson (sometimes spelled Fulsom) album followed by a Dobie Gray album, the one with his big hit, "Drift Away" on it. After that it's some classic Bo Diddley followed by some blues rock with albums from Jesse "Ed" Davis, NRBQ and John Baldry. We finish up with a classic Traffic album.

Have a great weekend and enjoy the tunes!
