The Red Clay Ramblers

Album of the Week 3-22-25

Afternoon folks!

Good stuff this week, we start off with an album from Sam Lay, a drummer for Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf and scads of other Chess artists, later to become the Butterfield Band's drummer in the early days. Following that there's a late 60's album from Etta James and one from The Chambers Brothers from the mid 70's. Moving on to blues rock/r&b, there's an album from Wet Willie and another from Billy Price and the Keystone Rhythm Band. After that we're in diversity territory with a compilation of old recordings from slide guitarist Cliff Carlisle and we finish up with an album from The Red Clay Ramblers. (I'll be adding some tracks to the Ramblers album on Sunday)

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Album of the Week 8-19-23

Afternoon folks!

It's a smaller haul this week because I missed uploading a couple of days, but maybe we'll make it up with quality.

Starting off, there's Taj Mahal's eponymous album with an epic version of "Statesboro Blues" on it. After that there's a 1960 Bo Diddley comp album followed by Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown and Roy Clark collaborating on a fun album. Following that we switch to blues-rock with a Ram Jam album with their big hit on it (Black Betty), then there's an album by Dave Alvin and Fred Wesley (a long-time member of the JB's) lays some serious funk on us. We finish off with some old-timey music by the Red Clay Ramblers.

Have a great weekend and enjoy the music!
