Roosevelt Sykes

Album of the Week 2-14-26

Afternoon folks!

This week among other things, there are a handful of great live albums. Starting off is a live album from Chicago blues guitarist Lonnie Brooks, followed by a studio album from another Chicago blues guitarist Otis Rush. After that it's another live album, this time from harmonica player and singer Junior Wells backed by one of Chicago's tightest backing bands, The Aces. Then we have a compilation album of Washboard Sam, backed by Roosevelt Sykes and Big Bill Broonzy. Following that we get more modern with an album from New Orleans musician Trombone Shorty and then yet another live album from blues rock guitar legend Roy Buchanan. Finishing up in the diversity department is a fun album from a bunch of Canadian folkies, Moxy Fruvous.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Album of the Week 3-9-24

Afternoon folks!

There's a pile of music this week. Starting off with the blues, we've got albums by Koko Taylor, Roosevelt Sykes and one by Bobby King & Terry Evans who are often known as Ry Cooder's backup singers. Ry Cooder plays guitar on the whole album. After that there's an older Climax Blues Band album, imo their best, followed by an 80's Savoy Brown concert dedicated to their hits.

After that we've got some folk-blues with Luther Dickinson & The Cooperaters (you might know Dickinson from the North Mississippi Allstars) live and a Chris Smither studio album.

Finishing up, in the diversity department, there's an instrumental album from Richard Thompson.

Have a great weekend and enjoy the tunes!

Album of the Week - 7-30-22

Afternoon folks!

This week I've uploaded a Roosevelt Sykes album and a whole bunch of blues-rock from some usual suspects: Savoy Brown, Rory Gallagher & Vinegar Joe. There's also some basic rock and roll from The (early) Small Faces and finally, a bluegrass masterpiece from Norman Blake, Tut Taylor, Sam Bush, Butch Robins, Vassar Clements, David Holland & Jethro Burns.

Check it out and have a great weekend!
