Blues Breakers -- John Mayall With Eric Clapton

Two for the L'Man from 1966, picked up a vinyl copy while in NOLA last week for all of $3.00. The first tune here, Robert Johnson's Ramblin' On My Mind, is noteworthy as it reps Clapton's first vocal recording of his musical career, the second tune here, an old school instrumental first recorded in 1960 (by Freddie King), leaves little doubt what's on the horizon...

Dr. John -- By Special Request

One of Skip's favorite performances. Howl if you're able...

Dr. John -- The Night Tripper

Like no other, true dat... RIP Mac.

Kenny Wayne Shepherd -- Woman Like You

New Stuff from the KWS Band, nice touch boyz...

Baby, Please Come Home -- Lloyd Price and Jimmie Vaughan

What's old as in Old School New Orleans is new, updated with a Texas touch...

Alvin Lee -- Motel Blues

Man, could he play... I somehow missed (or perhaps forgot) his passing in 2013. Quite the legend! RIP, Mr. Lee.

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...
