Afternoon folks!

This week we're starting off acoustic with an album from a great Piedmont blues guitarist, John Jackson, followed by an album split between two delta musicians, Son House (early recordings, when he was in his prime!) and J.D. Short. After that we move on to a double live album from Buddy Miles, recorded just after he had been working with Jimi Hendrix. Following that is a greatest hits album from my favorite Motown group, The Temptations. Finishing us off this week in the diversity department is an album of psychedelic wonderment from The 13th Floor Elevators - this is a modern pressing that removes the less-than-satisfactory applause track from a boxing match that was imposed on the original release of the album to make it sound like a live album, which is a big improvement in my book.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Afternoon folks!

We've got some great Chicago blues this week. Starting off we've got J.B. Hutto a fantastic slide guitarist, followed by a 2-disc compilation of Chicago blues featuring people like Jr. Wells and Buddy Guy, James Cotton, Otis Spann and many others. After that there's a live album from B.B. King at Cook County Jail and then we get a touch more modern with an album from harmonica player Mark Hummel. Next, it's some old-school Motown with an album from The Temptations and we finish off in the diversity department with some prog rock from Gentle Giant.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!
