Afternoon folks!

This week we've got some Koko Taylor and some Bo Diddley in the blues category. In the blues-rock category we've got a bunch of stuff - an album from Robin Trower, an EP from Canned Heat in the mid-80's, an album from The Pirates, a compilation album from Faces and the part of a mid-period Fleetwood Mac album that the lords of copyright will allow to be heard. To finish off, in the diversity department there's a psychedelic album from Strawberry Alarm Clock.

Enjoy and have a great weekend!

This week in the blues category we've got an album from Detroit bluesman and former sideman to John Lee Hooker, Eddie Kirkland. Following that, there's a late 70's B.B. King album.

Moving on to blues-rock, there's a 1977 album from Bonnie Raitt, albums by The Pirates and The Electric Flag. Following that there's some spacey-trippy music from Hawkind and we finish up with an album from Doc Watson - something for everybody? I dunno. Hope so.

Enjoy and have a great weekend!

Afternoon folks!

There's a bunch of cool stuff, or stuff to cool off by here to listen to. There's some of Chicago harmonica player Big Walter Horton and some Hank Crawford. There's a bunch of blues rock with Canned Heat, a live album from The Animals and The Pirates. I've uploaded part of an album by Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, which I'll upload the rest of later tonight.

Enjoy and have a great holiday!
