Some fantastic albums in there. I have around half of those myself. Live albums, not something you really see nowadays. Lady Gaga live? Hmm. Not as old as some of those but I was listening to one of my favourite live albums yesterday. UFO. Strangers in the night. And the day before another fave live disc Scorpion - Tokyo Tapes. Something about them just took me back to the excitement of a live gig. Queuing on the steps of the City Hall waiting for the doors to open, in a sea of denim. Might have to stick some live RUSH on today. Nostalgia isn't what it used to be
Saw JW live at Wolverhampton Civic Hall I think it was. He was great but his bass player stole the show. Just looking at my collection, I have 12 Johnny Winter albums, not counting him and his bro' Edgar
Ten years after..... Quality band, proper rocked Woodstock..... Real good.... Try Blues for Greeny Jeff, by Gary Moore, dedicated to the late Peter Green.... Really good album
Wow! The posts above go back a few years. Nostalgia rises. I first heard John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers back about 1968. Unforgetable ' Pretty Woman'. He did a tribute to J.B. Lenoir, whom I'd never heard of, but only quite recently heard his original song 'Mo Jo Boogie' ( began to slide on down ). Then there's Henry Thomas with 'Bulldoze Blues' of 1928, which became 'Going up the Country' about 1968. FYI, there's a Blues Program on tonight, Saturday, 9.30 to 11 p.m. 3 C R radio AM band 855 Khz. Melbourne, VIC, also digital and probably on the internet as well. Pre-war acoustic to modern. I think there are other similar radio stations in NSW & QLD. Then there's American stations playing blues on the internet. Cheers. Paul.
Personnel etc. are here:- Wake Up Call (John Mayall album) - Wikipedia I note that JM is 87 tomorrow (29th) - Happy Birthday, Sir...
Thanks, Jeff. I've found my George Thorogood album, but can't find the cartridge offa my turntable. It's torture. Have to resort to youtube. Been busy reading about Blind Lemon Jefferson, Blind Blake, Skip James, et all. First time I've heard of Albert King. I would have thought that you'd be too busy with Scottish Country Dancing over there ? We had a teacher who once had us Strathspey to "The Monster Mash", by Bobby Boris Pickett. It worked, just, wasn't too painful, but once was enough. Cheers.
You are welcome Paul, traditional music is okay, but the blues has appealed to me for decades and the first link below shows a video of JB., performing the same song as in my previous post and the next two videos feature Albert King and Albert Collins and Gary Moore, all of whom have passed on, but their music lives on.
