This week’s show was a combination of classics, favorites with some new stuff sprinkled in. You could say that is the recipe for most of my shows. I played two from Big Mama Thornton’s “Tougher than Dirt” record, and was temped to play a few more. I had a chance to revue the Mannish Boys new CD “Lonesome Feelin'” and a new one from Clarence Spady called "Just between us"and liked them both. The Mannish Boys is an All-Star cast of blues artists, joined together by the Delta Groove label. This CD features great vocals and some of the finest playing you can find anywhere. Their selection of songs and arrangements make this a good listen. Clarence Spady was also a nice treat. It's been a while since Clarence has put out a CD, but this CD is solid from the first song, right to the end. His jazz influenced guitar style and funk style song writing makes this recording a nice change of pace. Tune in next week for some more new stuff, classics and of course songs from more of my favorite artists.
