 Bob's Chat

I was asked recently by how many compilations I have made so far. Well I had to check first in my backups, so I did that today and the result is:

To date I have posted a total of 1340 of my own "Bob Mac's Compilations", plus there have been 56 released albums posted, mainly as "Albums That Deserve Another Listen". So the grand total is 1396 albums and compilations shared so far.

In addition to this I presently have 260 various compilations already made up and in folders waiting their turn to appear on the blog. I have also been compiling a new 50 volume set titled "Bob's Blues, R&B, Soul & Gospel Playlists", these will no doubt be finished in a few months, but won't appear on the blog for a couple more years as there's so much stuff lined up ahead of them.

For the future I'll continue compiling the various "Blues, R&B, Soul & Gospel" compilations as they are really the foundation of my blog. I have 130 volumes of what I call "the other genres" ready and waiting. These are the Jazz, Country/Pre-war blues, Hillbilly/Country, Rockabilly/R&R, and Soul Party compilations. Posting these at the rate of approximately 3 per week there's enough ready for another year. When they have been posted things could slow down a bit as I'm considering other options as I don't really see the point of making 500 volumes of Hillbilly & Country drinking songs, or broken hearted Soul songs. So I'll be looking into doing other things. Not quite sure yet but perhaps more detailed compilations with more information, and a bit of a write up. Some of you may remember the excellent "Be Bop Wino" blog that sadly ended 6 years ago. I would very much like to do something similar to that, though I doubt I could equal the depth and detail that Boogie Woody did. 

Anyway my friends there's lots more coming your way.

 Bob's Chat - The Ones I Missed

As I mentioned in a recent chat I got to see some mighty fine performers in Australia in the 1970s.

 However, I also managed to miss a few good ones:

 Deep Purple played in Perth on May 6, 1971, at the Beatty Park Aquatic Center, as part of their debut Australian tour with Free and Manfred Mann. Back in 1971 I was a serious blues aficionado with very little interest in rock/pop music. I had certainly heard Manfred Mann's 60s hits on the radio but had never even heard of Deep Purple or Free, so I gave that concert a miss. A couple of years later I got to hear some Deep Purple, in particular songs like "Highway Star" and "Lazy". Ritchie Blackmore quickly became one of my top favorite guitar players and I kicked myself for missing that chance to see the classic Deep Purple Mk II lineup.  

The following year in 1972 Cat Stevens played his first Perth concert at the WACA Ground. I actually quite liked Cat Stevens but not enough to go see his concert, so that one got a miss too. A day or two after that Perth concert I ran into a friend who was there. He told me supporting Cat Stevens was some old cowboy singer wearing a cowboy hat and playing acoustic guitar and harmonica in a rack. This turned out to be none other than Ramblin' Jack Elliot. I had no idea Ramblin' Jack was on that show. I had missed a chance to see one of the legends of country/folk & folk/blues, who had played and traveled with Woody Guthrie and other early legends of Americana music.

By February 1975 I was a penniless art student struggling to get by on a meager allowance plus a part-time job loading bread vans at a bakery a couple of nights a week. Rick Wakeman was in Perth with his "Journey to the Center of the Earth" show, and a few days later Ike & Tina Turner were playing. I couldn't afford both shows and a couple of friends were raving on about Rick Wakeman and convinced me to see that concert with them. So I passed on Ike & Tina. Well disappointment struck again, I was bored stiff at the Wakeman show, and kicking myself after some fellow art students who attended the Ike & Tina concert told me what I had missed. Like the solid blues set they did, including "I Smell Trouble" and "Dust My Broom" with Ike wringing the daylights out of his Fender Stratocaster. And to make matters worse it was one of the final chances to see Ike & Tina perform together, the following year they were all over.

And a few months later I missed yet another one when Lou Reed played the Perth Concert Hall on July 11, 1975. I had heard of Lou Reed but had never listened to any of his albums, so that one I gave a miss too. Much like Deep Purple it wasn't until a couple of years later that I heard some Lou Reed and realized I had stuffed up again. In particular, to see and hear Lou Reed performing "Heroin" live is something I would loved to have experienced.

 Bob's Chat

I've been thinking recently about all the giants of blues & rock music who I've been fortunate to have seen perform live over the years.

Most of the ones I've seen were at concerts in Australia and mostly in the 1970s. There have been way too many to remember and to try and list them all so I'll just pick out some of the highlights, the ones who really blew me away and left vivid memories. 

The Rolling Stones 1965 and again in 1973. First time it was the original early Stones with Brian Jones, doing "Not Fade Away" and "Mona", and more of those early classics. Then again in 1973, a very different Stones with Mick Taylor, also along for the ride were Bobby Keys and Nicky Hopkins. I have a vivid memory of Jagger singing "Midnight Rambler" and whacking the stage floor with his belt.

Johnny Cash, with June Carter, Mother Maybelle Carter & the Carter Sisters and Carl Perkins in 1973. Carl Perkins wasn't advertised as being on the show, so I was totally blown away when JC introduced Carl. Halfway through the show Carl did a set of his best known songs. And to see Mother Maybelle Carter and her daughters performing live was one of the highlights of my life. What a night of legends.

Bo Diddley 1973, I saw Bo play live numerous times over several tours he made. On a good night he was unbeatable, he could rock a crowd up into a frenzy. First time I saw Bo live he played the song Bo Diddley for around 35 minutes, every 5 minutes or so he'd crank the tension up a notch until he had the entire audience on their feet grooving along with him to that infectious driving rhythm. I can't think of any other guitar player who could play just one chord (with a few tricks thrown in) for over half an hour and have everyone screaming for more. 

Some of the Guitar Legends I've seen live:

BB King 
Freddie King
Buddy Guy
Eric Clapton
Jimmy Page (with Led Zep in 1972)
Roy Buchanan
Jeff Beck
Rory Gallagher
Mick Taylor
John McLaughlin (with Mahavishnu Orchestra + Jean-Luc Ponty)
Harvey Mandel (with Canned Heat)
Chuck Berry

I wasn't really a big Zep fan before I saw them perform live in Australia in 1972, their heavy rock songs were good but what did totally blow me away was the acoustic set they did in the middle of the show, that was incredible music: "Going to California", Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp", "That's the Way". I was stunned.

Anyway these are some of the best shows I've seen, how about you guys? Let us know what shows you've seen, which legends you have seen play live.

 Bob's Chat

I received notification from Pixeldrain that starting from 26 January 2026 the file expiry will be reduced to 60 days. As many of my compilations are hosted on Pixeldrain, and the links are mostly still active, I suggest all followers of this blog grab whatever you need over the next week as the links will soon expire for many of the older compilations.

I sometimes get asked about renewing expired links. Just before Xmas I was asked to renew links for 3 compilations. When I checked 2 were still active, I made a new link for the other one, and to this day it sits there with zero downloads. So I'm going to have to adopt the approach of other blogs and will not be renewing any expired links unless I know the person asking or they comment regularly on the blog.

Now to the subject of comments/feedback. With very few exceptions all of us who run these free music sharing blogs welcome comments/feedback. We provide you with the free music and you give us some small thanks in return. That's how it's supposed to work. Lately comments here have dropped off to none or just 1 or 2, and if I check the downloads I see figures like 55 or 86 downloads, even up around 100. When I do get comments it's always from the same small group of loyal followers, but the majority are just taking and remaining silent. 

So I'm informing you that I'd like to see an increase in comments/feedback, and if there is not then I will take steps to filter out the "lurkers" who just take and never find the time to say thanks. I can password lock the folders, I can go private again. I really do not want to do either as it means more work for me. But take this as a friendly reminder, or the day may come soon when you can no longer access the blog or open the folders.

Here today for your listening pleasure are two new compilations. Blues, R&B, Soul & Gospel Records Volume 227 with 21 tracks from 1957 to 2023. As usual an eclectic mix featuring Buddy Rich, Bobby Rush, Dinah Washington, Solomon Burke, Wilson Pickett, and other noted artists.

Country, Pre-War & Acoustic Blues Volume 101 today gives you Gospel Blues Volume 06 - Jesus Turned The Water Into Wine (1927-2024). Lots of rare tracks here from early recorded artists like Lonnie McIntorsh, Charley Patton, and The Utica Institute Jubilee Singers, through to contemporary performers like Sue Foley, Guy Davis, Chris Kramer, and Harold Stewart.

Anyway my friends enjoy today's music and don't forget to take a few seconds to say thanks, or give some feedback, not just to me but to everyone who shares free music on the various internet blogs and sites.

 Bob's Xmas Chat


Well here we are at that time of year once again. So I'll take this opportunity to wish all of you and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas and all the best for 2026. I presume most followers of this blog will be busy with holidays and family gatherings over this festive time of year, so I'll take a break from posting and will resume early in the New Year.

Here today for your listening pleasure are 3 more compilations: 

1) Blues, R&B, Soul & Gospel Records now up to Volume 220 with 21 tracks dating from 1936 to 1987. Among the artists featured here are Homer Banks, John Lee Hooker, Johnny Copeland, Inez & Charlie Foxx, Jimmy McGriff, Big Joe Turner, Ottilie Patterson & Chris Barber, along with several other Blues/R&B greats.

2) Soul Party is now up to Volume 104, with another compilation of "Moaning, Groaning & Crying" soul songs dating from 1959 through to 2024. This fine collection of tearjerkers brings you Etta James, Maxine Brown, Syl Johnson, Little Johnny Taylor, James Brown, Jerry Butler, plus other noted Soul/R&B performers.

3) A couple of years back I made up a Christmas compilation of mixed genres titled "Bob's Christmas Special". I reposted it last year and have done so again this year as we do have many new followers of the blog. However this is the Revised & Edited 2025 Edition. I felt the earlier version was a bit long, plus it had a few tracks that were upscaled low-bitrates, now this new edition contains only true 320kbps recordings.

Today's photo is the mighty Syl Johnson (1936-2022), a superb singer, guitar and harmonica player who performed and recorded both blues and soul. His early career in Chicago during the 1950s Syl worked and recorded with Magic Sam, Billy Boy Arnold, Junior Wells, Howlin' Wolf, Jimmy Reed and others. I was fortunate to see him play live in 2009 at a blues pub in Perth. After the gig I managed to have a quick chat with Syl, we shook hands and I told him how much I enjoyed his performance.    

Anyway my friends enjoy yourselves, stay safe, and we'll catch up again in early January.
