Anders Osborne -- Running

More good stuff from NOLA's A-Train. Running - It's what we do... Thanks Anders!

Peter Karp Band -- With Special Guest

The one and only Mick Taylor on lead guitar, priceless...

Albert Cummings -- The Long Way

With a little help from SRV's Double Trouble. Might just be the only way worth taking...

Robert Cray Sings A Tony Joe White Tune

Four minutes of heaven...

Paul Butterfield -- To Tell The Truth

The year was 1966 and man, that cat could play the blues...

One Way Out -- Allman Brothers 1971

Skydog and Betts, a combination like no other to this day...

Book Faded Brown -- Rick Danko & The Band

Rick Danko had that special touch as found here from the Band's 1998 release, Jubilation. It would be their tenth and final studio album recorded at Levon Helm's place in Woodstock, NY. Lyrics on this one by Paul Jost serve to bring us home, quite the gift...

Bring It On Home -- Sonny Boy Williamson

Willie Dixon was known to pen a classic or two, three, four and more including this gem right here. Led Zed got a hold of it a few years later and Jimmy Page added some fine touches but this version from the early Sixties speaks volumes, oh yeah...

Something Good Coming -- Tom Petty

Southwest Pass, to this day reminds me that one should make the most of all things large and small for we are all on borrowed time truth be told...

The Road Of Love -- Clarence Carter & Special Guest

Turn it up as Skydog announces his presence early on like no other...

Otis Clay -- I Can Take You To Heaven Tonight

Memphis Horns, anyone?

Grass Is Greener -- St. Paul And The Broken Bones

The Memphis Horns are looking down and smiling no doubt...

I'd Rather Go Blind -- Etta James & Rod Stewart

One for the L'Man to start off 2019 with a little soul. Legend has it that the boyz of Muscle Shoals cut this tune in one take. A few years later and before the glam, Stewart covered it nicely, along with tunes written by Jimi Hendrix and Sam Cooke, on his Never A Dull Moment release. Cheers, mate...

Buddy Guy -- I Came Up Hard

Buddy Guy put the "Bad" in "Bad Ass," no doubt about it. "Guy was born and raised in Lettsworth, Louisiana. He began learning to play the guitar using a two-string diddley bow he made. In the early 1950s, Guy began performing with bands in Baton Rouge. While living there, he worked as a custodian at Louisiana State University. Soon after moving to Chicago on September 25, 1957, Guy fell under the influence of Muddy Waters." L'est we forget the journey...

Eric Clapton Sings Willie Dixon

One of my favorites from Clapton's 461 Ocean Boulevard release circa 1974, a pretty good year if memory serves...

Al Green & The Memphis Horns -- Still In Love With You

1972, talk about that special touch, it's everywhere with this one...

Rory Gallagher -- Bowed Not Broken

One for DeucE, No Pain - No Gain, To Better Days...

Tony Joe White -- The Train I'm On

This Louisiana boy is some bummed... So long Tony Joe, RIP.
