SE 4 Ep 25 - Classic Album Feature - James Cotton - Deep In the Blues

New on CD, The Dead Reckoning Years!   A retrospective of Kevin’s Dead Reckoning Records releases, it includes some of his finest work, and was first out as a vinyl-only release in 2017.

“There’s always been a squabble between art and commerce. Around 1995 the Dead Reckoning crew just kinda bowed out.

We decided to do what nobody in town (except Prine and Al) were doing. We had no money, and we didn’t have a business guy like Al, but we had each other, and together we were a real good band. We’d play on each other’s records for free. We’d sell them to people. We started there. We made a lot of joyful noise.”



I’m thilled to be joined on the show this week by the great Kevin Welch, ahead of his SE Qld shows early in August. Featuring songs from the 2017 release The Dead Reckoning Years.

SE 4 Ep 26 Classic Album Feature - Charlie Musselwhite - In My Time

“Blues Summit is the thirty-third studio album by B.B. King released in 1993 through the MCA label. The album won a Grammy Award in 1994 for Best Traditional Blues Album.

It is the first of three duet albums in King's studio album discography. Unlike Deuces Wild and 80, all the guests come from the blues and R&B scene. The only song which is not a duet is the original "I Gotta Move Out Of This Neighborhood", which segues into "Nobody Loves Me But My Mother" (originally from Indianola Mississippi Seeds). All songs feature the B.B. King band of the era except for "Playin' With My Friends" (the only other new song on the album) and "You Shook Me", where the accompaniment comes from the Robert Cray Band, plus "Everybody's Had the Blues" featuring Joe Louis Walker's band.”



Digging further back into 1994 this week, with this Grammy winning classic from the late great BB King.

Plus new releases from The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Chris Cain, Parlour Greens and Connoly Hayes.
