Mississippi Fred McDowell.. London Calling.
Probably Fred's best output all here.. Playing at the Mayfair Hotel in late sixties. 8 or 9 I can't remember.

2 versions of John the Revelator on this..
Big Mama Thornton.
R&B really but its got a good bluesy feel. Big mama was a amazing singer.. Sang hound dog first. Little Red rooster was another she sang.. Ball and chain etc..
Influenced quite a few

Rev Gary Davis.
Recorded in 1960,some marvels of country blues singing from the man. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...26715e1788.jpg
Blues From The Gutter.. Champion Jack Dupree.. Cut in 1958 this. Probably is one of the great albums, like the last one that should be in your collection.

Saw him in North Wales a few years ago. He was having a bit of an 'off day', so the concert was not as good as it could have been. Because of that I didn't buy any of his CDs he had for sale at the venue - possibly a mistake in retrospect.Quote:

Taj mahal... his first album i think from 67.
Great album this... A Count Basie album where the Count doesn't play..
Joe Williams singing with superb band of Bobby Henderson, Vic dickenson, emmett Berry, marlowe Morris, Bobby Donaldson and Aaron Bell.
This is the cd Cover apparently but mine is different as this is the vinyl, ripped to 24/96.

Correct and one of his best, though all of his early albums are good. Taj seemed to loose his way when he became interested in the African roots of the Blues. His collaboration with African musicians (say from Zanzibar for example) were IMO disappointing.Quote:
