Sonny Terry

Album of the Week 1-3-26

Afternoon folks!

This week it's all hits, no errors. Starting off there's a compilation album of early recordings from one of New Orleans' finest songwriters and guitarists, Earl King. After that a live album from Chicago harmonica player Junior Wells followed by an album from a fine vocalist, Mighty Sam McClain. After that is the other half of the compilation of Sonny Terry recordings from last week and then we switch up genres for an album from Buckwheat Zydeco. We finish up with another genre switchup with an album from the Old Crow Medicine Show.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Album of the Week 12-27-25

Afternoon folks!

This week we've got blues in big portions starting off with an album from Muddy Waters in the early 70's and followed up with some serious Detroit blues from the 50's with Eddie Burns and John Lee Hooker. After that there's a compilation album of Piedmont blues from Blind Boy Fuller and Sonny Terry and another comp from Taj Mahal. Then there's a live album from Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady before they became Hot Tuna and we finish up with a talented guitarist in the folkish category, John Renbourn.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Album of the Week 7-20-24

Afternoon folks!

Anybody out there enjoy blues harmonica playing? If so, it's a good weekend, there's a nice french compilation double-disc set of Little Walter and an album of crusty 1940's recordings of Sonny Terry - some of them with Woodie Guthrie. After that we've got an album of r&b from The Chambers Brothers and a change of pace with Malo. If you (like most folks) have never heard of Malo, if you enjoy Santana, you'll probably dig Malo. After that, we've got some blues rock albums from Robin Trower and ZZ Top's second album. We finish up this week with a fairly obscure album from Traffic.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Album of the Week - 1-14-23

Afternoon folks!

I uploaded a bunch of cool stuff this week, and I added to the collection of Jeff Beck stuff that has been accumulating as I dig out and clean up albums.

There's a Brownie & Sonny album, some Hot Tuna, a few cuts of Professor Longhair from a compilation, a live Flying Burrito Bros. album (later in their career without Gram Parsons), one of The Band's later albums and an album by Rory Gallagher.

Then there's two Jeff Beck Group albums that I just uploaded this week when I got the news of his passing, an album with Beck, Tim Bogert and Carmine Appice, a live album with Jeff Beck and the Jan Hammer Group and an old Yardbirds album that I uploaded a while ago.

Have a great weekend and enjoy the tunes!

Album of the Week - 10-22-22

Afternoon folks!

This week there are some pretty diverse selections for you. There's blues by Brownie & Sonny (with Earl Hooker), Johnny Jenkins and a compilation album with a bunch of great bluesmen on it. There's Bill Withers Live at Carnegie Hall and blues rock by John Kay & Sparrow (an early forerunner of Steppenwolf). For some real diversity, there's Richard & Linda Thompson and an album by a bunch of sidemen called The Section.

Enjoy!
