Whats on your turntable tonight?

“ It’s a fine line, I hate it see it go “ packing up the Basis TT as it has found a new home ( like I needed 4 TT right ? )

but enjoying vinyl today..

Gregg Allman - Laid Back - Analogue Productions
Walter Trout - Survivor Blues
Dead - Acoustic at the Warfield

Just got back from a blues festival in the Mississippi delta. Bought a new LP of Junior Kimbrough "God Knows I Tried" and a used double LP of RL Burnside "Sound Machine Groove". 

Both or these guys are actually hill country blues rather than delta blues but the hill country is just northeast of the delta. Both of the recordings are so-so in quality for various reasons, primarily that they were low budget affairs as most small-time regional blues recordings are. Both of these men are dead but we saw quite a few of their sons and grandsons playing at the festival.

Also got a new 180g LP of Bukka White's early recordings from the 1940s. Mono obviously. Great album.

@n80. dig RL he had a resurgance before he passed away and some of those releases have much better SQ and his unique take on life in Chicago....

A RSD surprise- I let the guy behind the counter make one of my 8 picks at Lou’s in Encinitas- his choice was:

Roots Radics Dub Syndicate - DUB the Planet : Volume 1

ya ain’t too old for it.... jammin using all 40 watts

fun

and so we can help pay for Heart surgery...

RSD Stones Volume 2 on orange vinyl......so so sonics.....pressing good, so far ( this normally jinx the gig.. )
