Afternoon folks!

Let's start this weekend off with a King-size bang... first up, an album from Albert King from his Stax period, then one from B.B. King accompanied by a bunch of rock musicians and studio folks in 1971. After that we have a live album recorded in the early sixties featuring a whole bunch of Chess records blues superstars. Following that is a disc of demos, outtakes and alternates from Little Feat's Last Record Album sessions. Finishing up we move into some prog rock with a live album from the band Curved Air.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great holiday weekend!

This week we've got some great Chicago blues starting out with an album from harmonica player Snooky Pryor, followed by an album from Hubert Sumlin, Willie Dixon, Sunnyland Slim and Clifton James. After that we've got an album from one of Muddy Waters' guitar players (who also later backed up Magic Slim) John Primer. After that we change gears for a live album from guitar wizard Danny Gatton and then we go way out in left field to finish up with an album of prog rock from Godley & Creme.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Afternoon folks!

There's some great blues for you all to listen to this week. Starting off, there's an album of mostly live recordings from the American Folk Blues Festival in Europe from 1962 with a great lineup of talent including Memphis Slim, Muddy Waters, Otis Spann, Matt Guitar Murphy and Sonny Boy Williamson. Following that are albums from Eddy Clearwater and west coast harmonica player William Clarke. After that it's on to the rock department with a band you've likely heard of, Los Lobos recorded live and we finish up in the diversity department with a 1980's album from Canadian folk-rock guitarist and songwriter Bruce Cockburn.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!
