Many of you will hopefully have heard the track Ricky played on Sunday morning --"Shakin' All Over". This is a good place to start.



I must say that jumped out at me, great cover. Been giving it some high rotation on Spotify. Ricky Ross played more than a few blinders during his tenure.

I just cannot stop playing this song.

This has to be one of the coolest soul/blues tracks ever released. Surely you have to love this.

Right up there with Bettye LaVette in her prime.

Nice track mindcancy, I'll have to check this cd out. I missed this album although I bought 3 of her albums on BMG Private released before this album came out. Life, Love & the Blues 1998 - Matriarch Of The Blues 2000 and Blue Gardenia in 2001. All patchy albums but with their moments.

I see that all the Etta James albums mentioned above now appear all together on the excellent Original Album Classics series (5cd box set for about £11.99). I do so love this idea from the likes of Sony and Rhino. Great value, no frills little box sets. Talking about Etta James, it looks as if I'll have to get her latest offering THE DREAMER, which might be her last.

Very sad to hear Etta James is so ill and her agent was asking fans to pray for her apparently.

Didn't know that Etta James was ill Isobelj. I thought that it was going to be her last album because she was retiring.

How much longer can I hold out before buying the Dawes album? (another nice track on the Uncut cd). Black Joe Lewis - Sway, Beta Hector - Angie and Aloe Blacc - I Got The Blues (from the Mojo cd) wow. I've probably bought more 'new' music this year than I've done for many years. 2011 has been a good un

I did a site search to see if the Turnpike Troubadours showed up here, thought I remembered the name and found this. I logged on to a website this afternoon and it told me I recently listened to 7 & 7 by the T.T.; I hadn't,it must have popped up on autoplay or something, but I hadn't sought it out or listened. That made me curious so I then went and listened to it. Also found a couple of others by them, including Every Girl.

They seem a bit overlooked, thought they sound good, haven't really heard anything about them.

I have to agree with you Bob, The Fame Studios Story 1961-1973 is pure class. Along with the Aretha Franklin track check out -
Arthur Alexander - You Better Move On
Wilson Pickett - Hey Jude (Duane Allman on guitar)
James Govan - Wanted, Lover
Etta James - I Got You Babe
Candi Staton - I'm Just A Prisoner
George Jackson - Find 'Em Fool 'Em
Naming just a few as I'm still getting into it all.
Have just added to cart the other Fame releases by Candi Staton and George Jackson as I can't get enough of this kinda stuff at the moment

I know someone elsewhere online plugging the Dawes, with good reason I think having listened to them.

Must do some catching up with CDs/albums.

Loved Kurt Vile's 'Smoke Ring For My Halo' album to bits last year Merton, without a doubt one of my albums of the year and rather a shame his Bobness never latched onto it.

Always had a large soft spot for the Bowerbirds Johnh and deeply regret missing them live last time around a couple of years ago.

Unfortunately I've had to miss quite a lot over the last year due to the current financial climate, the latest being Kathleen Edwards last night. Forgive me whisperers but my pips are squeaking.

The Dead's "China Cat Sunflower" segue into "I Know You Rider" is exquisite and something I have loved for a long time now. That whole second side of "Europe 72" is brilliant from "Jack Straw" through "You Win Again" to the aformentioned songs, just wonderful, timeless music.

"Dress of Laces" Lyle Lovett from "Release Me"
"Come On Up Mississippi"
Nanci Griffith from "Intersection"
"Hopkinsville"[/red] Darrell Scott from "The Long Ride Home" are just a few of the joys from current releases getting played a lot around here.

Love the Lyle Lovett track johng. The forgotten man of 'if you can call it country'. After giving the album a listen it's a bit of a throwback to the 'And His Large Band' album of 89. A most deffo add to cart for me. Again wouldn't have given this album a thought if you hadn't mentioned it here.

John , China Cat Sunflower into I know you Rider (great guitar work at the end!)is one of my favourites of all time. I was lucky enough that they played the very same when I saw them at The Rainbow and at Wembley .I also love the version of Morning Dew (great guitar work on the end !) on the Europe triple and am going to get it out right now..I also love the Althea version on Without a net CD.

From 'Chimes Of Freedom - The Songs Of Bob Dylan'
Jackson Browne - 'Love Minus Zero/No Limit'
Queens Of The Stone Age - 'Outlaw Blues'
Also the title track from Tom Russell's 'Mesabi'

And I very much enjoyed Jackson Browne 'Sky Blue And Black' on last nights show. I'd forgotton just how good that track is.

I recently discovered this track, covered by Sunny Sweeney, on The Badlands internet radio station. The original is almost as good as the cover, but Sweeney's vocal nails it. Can't find her version on the wbe anywhere so here's Lacey J Dalton's cut:

I've fallen in love with Jeff Black's "What I Would Not do" that Bob played on last week's BHC show. Have a number finger from repeated pressing and holding of rewind on my copy of the last week's show on my phone

Something new and very listenable from the Indie end of the Nashville musical spectrum.

Sugar and the Hi Lows, "See It For Yourself" from their eponymous album released 6 weeks ago on the Ready Set Records label.

A splendid blend of melodicism and retro Southern Rock.

The website:- http://sugarandthehilows.com/
allmusic review:- http://www.allmusic.com/album/sugar-the-hi-lows-r2387859/review
YouTube of said track;-http:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfOpiZBaukw

The new Brendan Benson album "What Kind of World" is out on Chrysalis in the next few days. A taster appears on the new May 2012 Word Magazine covermounted CD called "Pretty Baby". Described as steamy and swampy (indeed it is) it bears all the hallmarks of his finest input to his work with The Raconteurs.

Finally, here is one of the coolest blues outings ever recorded.
Organic Grooves with "Banal Reality"
Enjoy this YouTube of it..............
