Various Artists, The Best of Chess Blues, 1987 on Chess / MCA
Great 2xLP 80s compilation of the post-war blues that made Chess such a critical label, issued by MCA who acquired the rights to the Chess catalog in the mid-eighties.
My copy—via Mel’s Record Shop in Amesbury MA—is a 1987 pressing by MCA Records’ plant in Gloversville, NY.

Led Zeppelin II
On this day 55 years ago Led Zeppelin released their critically acclaimed second album known simply as ‘II’.
Here is a very brief track by track retrospective. As always, it brings back some fun memories. Hopefully it does the same for you.
Sonny Boy Williamson, The Real Folk Blues, 1966 on Chess
This album was first released in the UK in 1965 as In Memorium, (Williamson died in May of 1965). In the US it was retitled to The Real Folk Blues and released in 1966. Later reissues have appeared with either title in different regions.
This is one of my favorite blues albums of all time – Williams is backed here by Willie Dixon, Luther Tucker, Otis Spann, Fred Bellow, Matt Murphy, […]

Sixty years ago today, Rod Stewart recorded this classic, albeit creepy blues classic. For Stewart it was the first single of a long and storied career that continues today.
As an added bonus we hear a young John Paul Jones on bass guitar.
Legends all around.

SONNY BOY WILLIAMSON
A Portrait In Blues
1980 U.S. reissue
Friday is finally here.
Blues for breakfast, a add me then we’ll see what this unseasonably warm afternoon has in store.
If I had grown up with the name “Alex Miller”, I would have changed it, too.
This dude was clearly not an accountant from Hartford, Connecticut. He was a badass.

Sonny Boy Williamson – Trying To Get Back On My Feet
The Allman Brothers made it big in album rock circles in the early 70s with an an excellent, classic live rendition on their “Eat A Peach” album. Couldn’t have done it without the original from a decade before.

The Acid Queen
Remembering Tina Turner.
One year ago today, the music world lost the ‘Queen of Rock and Roll’. Here is just one song that puts her talent on full display.
“Gather your wits and hold on fast
Your mind must learn to roam
Just as the gypsy queen must do
You’re gonna hit the road”
