Afternoon folks!

This week we start out with a nice compilation of T-Bone Walker's stuff followed by another compilation of some of Professor Longhair's earlyish recordings in New Orleans. After that we've got a bunch of blues-rock starting out with the Blues Magoos, followed by Pacific Gas & Electric and harmonica wizard James Harman. We finish off in the diversity category with a Buffalo Springfield album.

Enjoy and have a great weekend!

Afternoon folks!

Well, there's some blues for you this week. There's a double album compilation of Memphis Slim followed by a T-Bone Walker album and the first half (roughly) of a B.B. King compilation of earlier hits. I'll post the other half later in the same playlist, maybe next week sometime. Then we've got slide guitarist David Lindley and rounding out the selection there's former Monkee Michael Nesmith's second album with the First National Band.

Enjoy!

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!
