This mornings show was a nice mix of mostly up-tempo songs featuring a few blues songs that had a nice jazz feel to them . I thought a couple highlights of todays show were Lisa Mills doing Jimmy Hall's "Keep on Smiling", from her "Tempered with Fire" CD and Jimmy Hall doing the title track on his very fine "Rendezvous with the Blues". I'm also enjoying Jimmy Thackery's new live release and I played "Daze in May" from that CD. Also worth noting is Kirk Fletcher and Coco Montoya have new CD's out. They both sound great and I'm looking foward to playimg them both a whole bunch.

It seems I'm always playing an albums title track during the course of a usual Thusday morning blues show. So I thought "wouldn't it be kind of cool and maybe a little unique to play an entire show featuring nothing but title tracks"? As it turns out, it's not that imaginative since roughly a third of our blues library is CDs that feature a song on the album that is also the title of the album as well. So truthfully I could do numerous shows that feature title tracks and cover a lot of ground. A nice thing about doing a show this way is that it led me to play songs that I might not play otherwise. Overall I'd say it was a great experience and it turned out to be a pretty good show (if I do say so myself) and a lot of fun.
