Today's Blues, R&B, Soul & Gospel Records Volume 276 once again brings you 21 fine tracks dating from some very early T-Bone Walker 1942 recordings through to 2023 and The Blind Boys Of Alabama. Other notable artists included in this collection are: Marie Knight, Mavis Staples, Rose Batiste, Snooks Eaglin, Steve Howell, Alvin Youngblood Hart, and Melvin Davis.

The Best Of Jazz series continues with Volume 123 - Cool Cats Vol 08, this time putting the focus on the piano players. Selected for your listening pleasure are 20 tracks from 1942-2024. Among the fine artists presented here are: Andrew Hill, Ray Charles, Herbie Hancock, Nat King Cole, Jessica Williams, Hank Jones, Horace Parlan, and Eddie Higgins.

Also today is another in the Aussie Blues series, with a compilation album of 1975-1984 recordings by Melbourne singer Margret RoadKnight. Margret isn't strictly a blues singer as she also performs folk and jazz and popular music, but nonetheless she does lean noticeably towards the blues and merits inclusion in this category. She isn't particularly well known in Australia, so I doubt many of you in other countries would have heard of Margret RoadKnight before today, therefore I hope you enjoy listening to this interesting collection.

Don't forget to check out Bob's Cellar. Our good friend cabledogg2 has posted a huge quantity of outstanding bluegrass, country, blues, and rock & roll, so dig in and help yourselves. Don't forget to thank cabledogg2 for his generosity. When you see the large number of CDs and vinyl albums he has posted (many of which are rare and difficult to get hold of outside the USA) just think about the hours/days/weeks that it took cabledogg2 to rip all that music, then sort it out and tag, and copy album covers, then upload. And all you have to do in return is say "thank you".

Anyway my friends, there's loads of great free music for you in Bob Mac's Compilations and down in Bob's Cellar. So dig in and enjoy!

Margret RoadKnight is an Australian singer-guitarist. In a career spanning more than five decades, she has sung in a wide variety of styles including blues, jazz, gospel, cabaret, and folk. 

Margret RoadKnight was born in July 1943 in Melbourne. She had no formal singing lessons and her earliest inspirations were Harry Belafonte, Odetta and Nina Simone. Her first performance was on Mother's Day, May 1963 at the Emerald Hill Theatre. RoadKnight replaced Judith Durham (who was joining rising folk quartet The Seekers) as lead singer of the trad jazz band Frank Traynor's Jazz Preachers.

In the 1960s and 1970s, RoadKnight appeared on numerous television programs including Folkmoot, hosted by Leonard Teale, Dave's Place, hosted by the Kingston Trio's Dave Guard, and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's national weekly current affairs program, Open-End. RoadKnight's debut album was a live set, People Get Ready (November 1973), which was recorded at Frank Traynor's Folk Club. Her backing band for the night were Ian Clarke on drums and percussion; Martin Doley on guitars and backing vocals; Peter Doley on flute, kazoo, maracas and backing vocals; Peter Howell on bass guitar; and Bob Vinnard on piano, organ and backing vocals. According to Australian musicologist, Ian McFarlane, she provided "covers of material by the likes of Curtis Mayfield, Duke Ellington, Joni Mitchell and Malvina Reynolds."

RoadKnight and Dutch Tilders issued a split album, Australian Jazz of the 70s Vol 5: The Blues Singers (1974). The Canberra Times's Michael Foster described her as a "big, big-voiced and big-hearted woman" and she "sings with that same gut-tearing intensity but tends to give more prominence to the traditional blues, the songs which blossomed in the dusty earth of the plantations." He felt that "Of all the women I have heard singing the blues Miss Roadknight comes closest to the sound of the great exponents of another generation, Ma Rainey and Bessie Smith." At the end of that year, she received a government travel grant to study contemporary music in the United States.

In January 1976 she released a cover version of Bob Hudson's album track, "Girls in Our Town", as a single, which reached the Kent Music Report Singles Chart Top 40. According to Rachael Lucas of Australian Broadcasting Corporation's Open the track "painted a cruel trajectory for teenage girls living in country towns; teenage school drop outs, lonely cashiers and factory workers, with nothing to keep them entertained but vanity and promiscuity." RoadKnight included the single on her third album, Margret RoadKnight, which was issued in October 1976. It appeared on the Infinity label via Festival Records.

From August 1977 the singer travelled and performed across Europe and the US for six months. Her fourth album, Ice, appeared in 1978. Also in that year she issued "Raw Deal" as a non-album single, the theme song for a feature film of the same name from the previous year.

In 1980 RoadKnight and two friends formed the promotional group Honky-Tonk Angels (which also became the name of her record label) to mount the first Australian solo tour by the acclaimed American singer-songwriter and slide guitarist Ellen McIlwaine, who toured Australian capital cities in November 1980 (with RoadKnight as the support act) to great critical acclaim.

Her next album, Out of Fashion... Not Out of Style (1981) included another single, "I'll Be Gone". The album was co-produced by RoadKnight with Warren Barnett. Her backing group were Judy Bailey on keyboards; Bob Hudson on harmonica; Sandy Kogan on Jew's harp and washboard; Graham Lowndes on vocals and acoustic guitar; Ellen McIllwaine on vocals, slide guitar and organ; Steve Murphy on guitar; Chris Qua on bass guitar and Willie Qua on drums.

RoadKnight's first compilation album, Living in the Land of Oz, appeared in 1984. During 1984 RoadKnight also acted as promoter for the second Australian tour by Ellen Mcilwaine.

In February 1987 she was a member of Je Ne Sais Choir, along with Jarnie Birmingham, Mara Kiek and Moya Simpson. That choir supported Frankie Armstrong's tour of Australia. Also in 1987 and 1988 RoadKnight, as well as performing, was the musical director of Deep Bells Ring, a musical theatre presentation of Paul Robeson's songs and biography.

By October 1993 Je Ne Sais Choir were renamed as Girls in Your Town and they undertook their own tour, as a cappella quartet singing songs of the '50s and '60s along with gospel, jazz, drinking, and barbershop songs and African chants.

Now in her 80s Margret RoadKnight is currently living in Melbourne and although retired from the music business she still occasionally performs.

 Greetings From Bangkok

Last night I caught up with a close friend who I hadn't seen for about 25 years. Mike from Chicago, a regular follower of my blog with the name "mjl". I first met Mike in Southern Thailand in the late 1980s and we've kept up contact over the years through Facebook and more recently through my blog. We spent a few happy hours last night catching up on each other's news and discussing music while knocking back a few cans of beer.

 Bob's Chat

Well three months have passed since my wife and I left our home in Thailand and flew down to Perth to spend the autumn in my apartment there. The Australian winter has now started and it's time to return to the balmy tropics. So tomorrow we'll be flying back to Bangkok. We'll be spending the weekend in Bangkok, then traveling on to our home in Korat in Thailand's NE, and after we get back home I'll have a heap of things to do for a few days. Therefore there won't be another post for at least a week. In the meantime here are two fine compilations for your listening pleasure.

The very popular "Rockabilly & Early Rock & Roll" series, now up to Volume 124, continues another collection of those wild wild women. Among the rockin' gals presented here are Janis Martin, Brenda Lee, LaVern Baker, Ruth Brown, Connie Francis, Linda Gail Lewis, Wanda Jackson, and Rose Marie McCoy.

"Blues, R&B, Soul & Gospel Records" now up to Volume 274 brings you 21 tracks dating from 1929 to 2023. Among the artists in this collection are Earl King, Marie Adams, Dave Bartholomew, Wee Willie Wayne, Freddie Scott, Irma Thomas, Johnnie Bassett, and Alexis Korner. 

I met Alexis Korner in March 1975 when he was on tour of Australia with the First Australian Blues/Rock Festival. Alexis, Duster Bennett, myself and a couple of musicians from one of the Aussie support bands spent the afternoon before the concert in a room at the rear of the Perth Entertainment Center passing around joints and swapping stories. Alexis Korner was a very friendly and very interesting person, and he told us some fun stories of the early days of the British R&B scene. Unfortunately Alexis got a bit too whacked which adversely affected his solo performance that evening. It was a shame he didn't have a band supporting him as that would have spiced up his set, but sadly, seated alone, seriously whacked, futilely trying to fill a huge venue like the Entertainment Center with just his acoustic guitar and vocals, Alexis Korner's Perth performance was very disappointing. 

However, he wasn't the only disappointment that evening, for Hound Dog Taylor had got stuck into the free booze at the Perth Airport press reception earlier that morning. Later at the hotel he got my girlfriend to go out and buy him a bottle of Scotch, which he knocked off in his room before the show. By the time Hound Dog Taylor and the House Rockers got on stage that night Hound Dog was so drunk he was barely aware of where he was or what he was doing. They did a couple of songs, with a seated Hound Dog mumbling through the lyrics, before Brewer Phillips and Ted Harvey decided it had gone on long enough and fled the stage, shortly followed by a bewildered Hound Dog.  

It was sad that within a year three of the main performers from the First Australian Blues/Rock Festival had died (Hound Dog Taylor in December 1975, Duster Bennett in March 1976, and Freddie King in December 1976)

Very old photograph taken backstage at the Perth Entertainment Center March 1975. Left to Right. Brewer Phillips, Bob Mac, Ted Harvey, Hound Dog Taylor.

Anyway my friends, dig in, enjoy the great music, and I'll have another serving for you sometime next week.

 RIP Sonny Rollins (1930-2026)

Walter Theodore "Sonny" Rollins (September 7, 1930 - May 25, 2026) was an American jazz tenor saxophonist who is widely recognized as one of the most important and influential jazz musicians.

In a seven-decade career, Rollins recorded more than sixty albums as a leader. His 1956 album Saxophone Colossus was selected for preservation by the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress in 2016. A number of his compositions, including "St. Thomas", "Oleo", "Doxy", and "Airegin", have become jazz standards. Rollins was often called "the greatest living improviser". Rollins was the last survivor of the 57 jazz musicians depicted in the 1958 photograph A Great Day in Harlem.

Throughout his career, Rollins was nicknamed the "saxophone colossus". He was awarded a lifetime Grammy Award and was honored with the Kennedy Center Honors in 2011. He was credited as a defining figure of the jazz genre.

 Bob's Chat

As we're getting down to the last couple of weeks before we return to Thailand we decided to play tourists and spent the day in Fremantle. Amongst other things we visited the Bon Scott memorial statue. I knew Bon Scott back in the late 1960s when he lived in Perth and he was in the Valentines. But after he moved over East and got with AC-DC I never saw him again. Anyway here are some pics of myself and my wife and my old friend Bon.
