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!

Afternoon folks!

I hope everybody is having a good holiday weekend. To that end, here's some good stuff for you guys to check out.

There's a Clarence Gatemouth Brown album and a great Sippie Wallace album from the 80's with Bonnie Raitt guesting. After that we've got a bunch of blues rock with Paul Butterfield in his post Butterfield Blues Band period followed by a classic album by The Band. After that there's a compilation of some early Duane and Greg Allman recordings followed by Delaney & Bonnie. We finish up with some prog rock from Nektar.

Enjoy!

Well, there's a bunch of good stuff this week. There's some zydeco to get things rolling with a compilation of Clifton Chenier's Arhoolie recordings. After that Taj Mahal and Ry Cooder do their best impression of Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee - not to be missed! Doc Watson follows up with a mid-60's album and we change pace after that with Osibisa. Osibisa is a band from Ghana and worth a listen. Following that there's some rock with Foghat and some rock/prog with The Tubes to finish things off.

Enjoy!

This week there's a compilation album of Chuck Willis' r&b hits and a live recording of John Mayall in the blues category. There's some rockabilly with the Stray Cats, some blues rock with Steppenwolf and Little Feat. There's also a countryish, bluesy Rita Coolidge album. We finish up with Don "Sugar Cane" Harris (formerly of Don & Dewey) playing some proggy bluesy music wherein you might hear an echo or two of his friendship with Frank Zappa. I'm not sure if that last one will play well, because youtube has decided to censor it as adult material because (gasp) the cover art of the album has a naked nipple displayed on it. I guess youtube is taking no chances in this world where Michaelangelo's David is labelled pornography. Yeesh!

Enjoy!

Afternoon folks!

This week we've got a couple of great blues albums from Albert Collins and Lonesome Sundown. In the blues-rock vein, we've got albums by Bonnie Raitt, Santana and Steppenwolf. There's a fabulous acoustic guitar album from Norman Blake and albums by Richard Thompson and Be Bop Deluxe.

Enjoy!

Afternoon folks!

I cleaned up some really cool records this week. In the blues vein there's an early 60's Freddy King compilation that turned out quite well and a direct to disk recording of soul/blues singer Howard Tate in his later-life comeback period not to mention Otis Redding's performance at Monterey Pop festival. We've got a mess of blues-rock with albums from Roy Buchanan (a later period album), a double-live album from the J. Geils Band and Rita Coolidge's first album.

After that, we've got a fine double live bluegrass album from the Jerry Garcia Acoustic Band. We finish up with a rock album from Be Bop Deluxe, a band that didn't get the attention that their talent deserved here in the states - check it out!

Have a great weekend!

Afternoon folks!

We've got piano great Otis Spann this week and a compilation of earlyish Detroit Blues featuring John Lee Hooker, Eddie Kirkland, Eddie Burns and Sylvester Cotton. Following that, on the harmonica we've got a great album by James Harman. Then there's a boatload of blues rock with Foghat, The J. Geils Band and Chris Youlden (formerly of Savoy Brown). After that there's one of my favorite Van Morrison albums, one by piano pounder Marcia Ball and we finish up with a later album by Steeleye Span.

Enjoy!

Afternoon folks!

Another week, more great stuff... We've got a compilation of some classic Muddy Waters followed by a compilation of Pee Wee Crayton's better known material. After that there's a somewhat jazzier album from Santana, blues rock from Foghat and Rory Gallagher, country rock from Michael Nesmith and we finish the week off with The Tubes.

Enjoy and have a great weekend!

Afternoon folks!

Beaucoup de blues this week! Starting off, there's a crazy german album of Muddy Waters Band tunes followed by a mid-60's Jimmy McCracklin album. After that is a comp of early recordings from Junior Parker, James Cotton and Pat Hare (including the Parker tune that Elvis covered). After that there's some rock from A Group Called Smith, The Flamin' Groovies, The Tubes and a 70's band with Peter Rowan in it, Seatrain - the album has their one biggish 70's hit on it, 13 Questions. Some of you guys might remember that one.

Enjoy and have a great weekend!

Afternoon folks!

This was a productive week for the uploading to youtube thing. There's a bunch of good blues, a half-live, half-studio early 70's album from Taj Mahal, a compilation from Smokey Hogg, and a greatest hits compilation from Lee Dorsey - check out his original version of "Sneakin' Sally Through The Alley" it's much better (imo) than later covers. Then there's a buncha blues-rock - a couple of late 60's Steppenwolf albums, a late 70's Roy Buchanan album and a great Little Feat compilation. Finishing up is the kinda new wavey Squeeze for a little diversity.

Enjoy!
