This week it's a real smorgasbord of styles for you. Starting off we've got swamp blues from Lightnin' Slim followed by some raw, electric, Mississippi blues from T-Model Ford. Moving on from there we have a compilation of Clarence Garlow's 50's era cajun blues and then we switch to a collection acoustic Piedmont blues from a variety of artists. Finishing off, we have Klaatu's second album which is a good bit different from their first album that I posted a few weeks ago but worth a listen.
