Afternoon folks!

We've got some great blues this week with an album from Albert Collins and a compilation album from Tarheel Slim and Little Ann. I uploaded a great album from J.B. Hutto with Hound Dog Taylor's group the Houserockers, but some German corporation decided that they didn't want anybody in the world to hear it. expletives deleted. Anyway, after that we've got what I think is the Chambers Brothers best album, The Time Has Come - great stuff. Following that is a compilation of Rockabilly tunes from L.A. in the early 80's and another compilation of Texas guitar music from some serious hot dog guitarists. We finish up in the diversity department with The Battlefield Band, a Scottish traditional band.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Afternoon folks!

This week, I uploaded a bunch of albums. There's a couple of obviously 70's era albums - one by Jimmy Witherspoon and a really odd Howlin' Wolf album where if you listen carefully you can hear the producer thinking aloud, "let's make him sound like one of those British rockers and cash in!"

There's a playlist of stuff from a rockabilly compilation that includes tunes by Link Wray, Carl Perkins and Sleepy LaBeef.

Also, albums from the Legendary Blues Band, Roomful of Blues, Earl Hooker and Doc & Merle Watson.

Enjoy!
