Here's a fun & eclectic blues rock mix, From Jimi Hendrix to Muddy Waters , Led Zeppelin to the Allman Brothers , Rory Gallagher to the Black Crowes  and the Rolling Stones to JJ Cale , Bert Jansch & John Renbourn among others. Blues rock sometimes veering towards rock n roll. Plenty of classics and a few surprises... Pure enjoyable musical amusement for y'all - good vibes for good times.   ^^stream & download^^ TAP PLAY ONCE THEN TWICE to play here or tap building icon to enter the internet archives page & stream or d/l^^       On a visit i n 1980 my father gifted me his old record collection, around 50 to 100 LPs, that he'd evidently put together from the late-60's to the mid-70's. Not seeing much of him again I never did ask why he offloaded it or if he thought a wee man of 11 would actually appreciate the music. Well it turns ot that he did. In there was a lot of bluesy rock from that time though I don't remember the conte...

  Ready for the Storm Relax along that ol' trail with some groovin' alternative folk-country sounds   ^^stream & download^^ TAP PLAY ONCE THEN TWICE to play here or tap building icon to enter the internet archives page & stream or d/l^^   We revisit Aly Bains and friends' Transatlantic Sessions from 1995 with atmospheric tracks by renowned Uillean piper Davy Spillane and two emotive Dougie MacLean duets with Kathy Mattea . Outlaw country legend Guy Clark is cool as a breeze on Dublin Blues with Karen Matheson . Three apiece for two country superstars: Relatively recent Willie Nelson tracks and vintage 1970's-90's Emmylou Harris . Always a joy to hear those guys. The irrepressible Jesse Welles continues his one man barrage against oppression and injustice with more well-aimed salvos that no Iron Dome could ever stop. This man's on fire!

Blues N Rags  Just like it says.. good ol' southern ragtime and blues with a splash of southern rock n roll. Playlist runs beween the late 1950's & 2020.

Rags with attitude!   ^^stream & download^^ TAP PLAY ONCE THEN TWICE to play here or tap building icon to enter the internet archives page & stream or d/l^^    Thank you to Cristen Craven Bernard & Erika Litteral for the cover background artwork The Blue Rags were a fun, punky ragtime swing group outta North Carolina. Four romping tracks from their 1997 CD. Bluesman Abe Reid was with the band at around that time before putting his solo project, Basicly Dumb (sic) out in '99. I was lucky to catch them both live back then in Asheville on different nights, raucous and memorable (lets not even go into the blue lights haha). Guitarist & blues/ragtime specialist  Stefan Grossman is well known in the UK for his 1980's ...
