Here’s a couple of Belters to get you going, the first one from one of the most famous blues duos ever, and the other a live broadcast from a French radio station.
They’re both on Tidal, so get stuck in.
Give us a shout if you want to move onto early leccy blooze, such as John Lee Hooker, and I’ll try and keep you right.
That Muddy Waters album was one one the first albums I ever bought, and I shortly gained “weirdo” status at school, once seen carrying it around, (As one did, at the time) … … … “Muddy who?”
Charles Lloyd & The Marvels + Lucinda Williams - Vanished Gardens
Charles Lloyd (tenor saxophone, flute), Bill Frisell (guitars), Greg Leisz (pedal steel guitar, dobro), Reuben Rogers (bass), Eric Harland (drums) and Lucinda Williams (vocals).
Streaming on Qobuz (96/24)… kicking off this morning with Charles Lloyd and The Marvels and they are sounding sublime! I just love the opening track of this album ‘Defiant’ with the magnificent interplay between the musicians. This is one sweet album with Lucinda providing vocals on a number of tracks. Well worth the time to give a spin and just may end up on your top ten albums list…
