Blues for Aficionados


I have found that postings music is a good way to listen to all the music in your collection.  I have neglected the ultimate source of much of the music I post.  This tread corrects that oversight.  All Blues post are welcome.  I will concentrate on the Delta.

KEB' MO' LIVE:  THAT HOT PINK BLUES ALBUM

Kind of Blue Music    2016   2CD Set

Notes: "This album was captured on my 2015 tour.  It is a mix of my song catalog from the past 21 years recorded in big venues, small venues, lively clubs, symphony halls and outdoor festivals.  People often ask me what my favorite venue is and o that I say, "The one I'm playing in"."

He makes a point of listing the location of each performance.

DO THE BOOGIE: EARLY 50s CLASSICS

Flair / Virgin America Compilation  1988

Notes: "This compact disc derives from the two volumes of B.B. King's rare recordings featured on the Ace albums CHD 201 "One Nighter Blues" and CHD 230 "Across the Tracks".  The recordings stem from B.B.'s most productive years during the 50s and are of exceptional sound quality for recordings from that period."
