Rainy Day Blues

20131015-124608.jpg

Top Left: Memphis Slim, Soul Blues. Released in ’74 on ALA, this is a great compilation of Slim’s finer works.  A protege to Big Bill Broonzy, Slim was a dark, passionate blues player with a crisp voice and an impeccable key player. Tracks to note; “Lonesome”, “Big Bertha”, and “One Man’s Mad”.

Bottom Left: The James Cotton Band, 100% Cotton.  Released in ’74 on Buddah Records.  Cotton began his professional career playing the blues harp for the notorious Howlin’ Wolf’ in the early 1950s. After a few solo releases, he formed the Jimmy Cotton Blues Quartet in early ’64, then The James Cotton Band in 1970.  Tracks to note, “Burner”, “Creeper Creeps Again”, and “Boogie Thing”.

Top Right: Bobby Bland, Here’s The Man.  Repress from Duke Records in ’75 of Bland’s 1962 studio album, in rough shape but a rare find.  Notable tracks, “Jelly Jelly Jelly” and “Stormy Monday Blues”.

Bottom Right: John Lee Hooker, Detroit Special. Volume 5 of Atlantic Records “Blues Originals” series, released in 1972. Recordings on this album took place in ’53 and ’61. Slight warp but a great play.  Tracks to note, “Misbehaving Baby” and “I Aint Got Nobody”.

Nothing Sacred

Released in 1978, Nothing Sacred was David Allan Coe’s 11th studio album release and his fourth independent release.  Released solely by mail order due to its explicit lyrics, this is a rare and super obscure country album.  Some of our favorite tracks, “Cum Stains on the Pillow”, “Pussy Whipped Again”, and “Whips and Things”.  Vinyl is mint, cover is fair.  20130901-143200.jpg

The recordings of Luke the Drifter are inspirational in tone and made up of segments of recitations interspersed with song.  Taken from the back of the record, “This is Luke the Drifter, the wandering poet who has been termed Hank Williams’ other self.”20130901-143233.jpg

The album Honky Tonk Heroes made Waylon Jennings the father of outlaw country. Released in 1973 in collaboration with Billy Joe Shaver, this album is loaded with “sing-alongs”.  This is a mint promo edition.  20130901-143239.jpg
