Willie Mabon

Album of the Week 1-24-26

Afternoon folks!

Here's some great blues to anticipate snowmageddon with, or not if you're not in its sights. Starting off, we've got a bunch of fine delta blues musicians (Big Jack Johnson, Frank Frost and Sam Carr) collectively known as The Jelly Roll Kings, after which we move up to Detroit for an album from Eddie Burns, an early sideman with John Lee Hooker. On to Chicago, there's an album from Willie Mabon with some great Chicago sidemen on the session. Following that we have Johnny Shines a running partner of Robert Johnson and later a Chicago blues staple with an acoustic album. Switching up genres is an album of zydeco music with Nathan and the Zydeco Cha Chas, featuring cajun fiddler Michael Doucet. Finishing out from the diversity department is an album from an original member of Pink Floyd and an interesting songwriter, Syd Barrett.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Album of the Week 6-3-23

Afternoon folks!

It's been another good week for uploading music. This week there's a nice acoustic blues album by Larry Johnson on which he is accompanied on harmonica and slide guitar by John Hammond Jr. After that, there's a nice compilation album of Willie Mabon doing some fine Chicago blues. Following up is some blues rock with the Climax Blues Band, one of their early 70's albums when they strayed less from the blues style than later. Following that is another, my favorite album by Osibisa, a band from Ghana. Then there's some rockabilly with the Stray Cats and we finish up the week with a spacey-prog rock album from Hawkwind.

Enjoy and have a great weekend!
