Ronnie Earl

Album of the week 9-27-25

Afternoon folks!

Another week, more stuff for your ear buds to sample. Starting off, we've got Big Daddy Kinsey's tribute album to Muddy Waters, followed by an album by Ronnie Earl with significant parts of Muddy Waters' band including the great Pinetop Perkins who really shines on this. After that we've got an album from Alvin Youngblood Hart that sadly didn't get the attention that his breakthrough album did. Then we've got Taj Mahal and Ry Cooder in their younger days with an album retrieved from the vault and resurrected. Finally, there's a later album from Levon Helm full of great stuff.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Album of the Week 7-12-25

Afternoon folks!

It's a mostly blues week, this week. Starting out we've got a lesser known Chicago blues guitarist Hip Linkchain, followed by a classic album from the well known Albert King. Following that is another lesser known blues guy, Joe Beard backed up by a guitarist who is no slouch, Ronnie Earl - all worth a listen. After that we've got some blues rock with J.J. Cale and we finish up in the diversity department with Richard Thompson.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Saturday Song Open Thread - Sitting on Top of the World

Hey, it's songday. I pick a song that I believe warrants it and publish an assortment of the covers of that song by various persons and or groups. Pick a few that are new to you and have a listen. It is also, of course, an open thread to talk about anything you feel like.

Today's song is: Sitting on Top of the World
