  2. JOHN LEE HOOKER
    It Serve You Right To Suffer
    2025 Worldwide reissue

    An incredible Acoustic Sounds Series reissue of what very well may be might favorite blues album of all time.

    I bought this about 6 months ago when I realized that my original U.S. pressing had had its last spin.
    Couldn’t be more pleased to have such a stunning sounding replacement for it.

    “Country Boy” is the greatest late-night blues tune in history; perfect for when you’re exhausted, waiting for the last few minutes of the day to tick away.

    “Sometime in travellin'
    I travel when nights are blue
    Sometime my night
    My night so dark and blue
    But I keep on travellin'
    No place to lay my worried head”

    Man is that ever right.

    JLH til the end of time.

  4. ROBERT NIGHTHAWK
    Bricks In My Pillow
    U.S. Compilation reissue

    Friday night starting to smoke over here.

    Some absolutely killer Delta blues from the great Robert Lee McCollum, one of my all time favorite #blues artists.

    If anybody had the right to sing the blues, it was Hawk.

    Having your first kid at SEVENTEEN in 1909 alone gives you the proper papers.
    THAT son, Sam Carr, was a monster talent in his own right, turning into a renown blues drummer himself.

    This compilation is note-perfect, start to finish flawless.

    The title track has made it onto more of my mixes and travel playlists than I can remember, and if you can’t relate to “The Moon Is Rising” in some way, I can’t help you.

  6. Taj Mahal – Taj Mahal (1968, US)

    Our next spotlight is on number 305 on The List, submitted by weirdofhermiston. This beauty of an album sure is a portal into multiple rabbit holes! This is the debut "solo" album from the amazing blues musician and vocalist Taj Mahal, featuring two other brilliant musicians you either already know or are going to want to get to know: Ry Cooder (who would go onto become known as one of the greatest guitarists) and Jesse Ed Davis (who would go onto become a sought-after session artist and, a citizen of the Kiowa tribe, would be posthumously inducted into the Native American Music Hall of Fame). If you want to get lost in the blues, give this one a spin and go from there!

  7. Taj Mahal – Taj Mahal (1968, US)

    Our next spotlight is on number 305 on The List, submitted by weirdofhermiston.

    Well, this beauty of an album sure is a portal into multiple rabbit holes! This is the debut “solo” album from American blues musician and vocalist Taj Mahal (a.k.a. Henry St. Claire Fredericks Jr.), though it continues Mahal’s collaboration with Ry Cooder, who he previously worked with in the short-lived folk-rock group Rising Sons, and who would go onto become known as one of the greatest guitarists, particularly with his slide guitar work. The other key band member on this album is one Jesse Ed Davis, a citizen of the Kiowa tribe. While Davis had already started his musical career in the 50s, his work with Mahal seems to have brought him into the spotlight – and very rightly so! Davis would appear on the next three Mahal albums (playing both lead guitar and piano), and then would go solo himself while continuing to be a sought-after session musician, working with the likes of Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Leonard Cohen, and many many others.

    As for Mahal himself, this was only the first of many solo albums, and he’s still going! Next month he’ll release what I believe is technically his 28th studio album (though he has around 100 albums listed on Discogs), a collab with Keb’ Mo’ titled Room On The Porch.

    If you want to get lost in the blues, give this one a spin and go from there!

  9. Today is the first time I've heard a "Maggie's Farm" that wasn't the Rage Against the Machine recording. I had no idea that was a Deep Cut and a nod of continuity with 1960s counterculture. Now I know.

  15. Black Magic - 1968 - by Magic Sam. Simply a unique blues guitarist, vocalist and writer - he had a special interplay between his chunky guitar riffs and his vocal delivery. This record has some of his brightest songs with his top notch band. He left us too soon. A good repeat player and sounds great on vinyl. #magicsam #blackmagicalbum #blues #soulmusic #electricblues #classicblues #oldrecords #vinylsound #vinyl #musicshroompr #recordoftheday #guitarplayer #musicshroom
