 The Daily Chat

A chatbox where we can post comments and have discussions on artists & songs. However, if you just want to say thank you for a particular post then please continue using the usual comment box located below each post.

Well another Christmas has come and gone. I hope you all had enjoyable feasts with your families and loved ones, and didn't gain too many extra kilos in weight. Only another couple of days to New Year's Eve, then everything will start to get back to normal again.

Today's Best Of Blues, R&B, Soul & Gospel, now up to Volume 76, is another double set, giving a total of 40 outstanding Blues and R&B recordings from 1932-2020. Among the artists included here are: Ruth Brown, Dinah Washington, Smiley Lewis, Eartha Kitt, Little Willie Littlefield, Maceo Parker, Kenny Burrell, Ella Mae Morse, Cab Calloway, and many others.

Volume 5 'The Shadow Of Your Smile' in the Assorted Best Of Jazz series features Dexter Gordon, Sonny Stitt, Art Blakey, Jimmy Smith, Miles Davis, George Barnes, Wes Montgomery, George Benson, and several other giants of jazz. 

And today's photo is the great Roy Buchanan performing in Holland in 1985. I was fortunate to see Roy play live once, at the Perth Concert Hall on 1st July, 1981. I had already seen several of the world's best blues guitarists performing live but nothing I'd seen before had prepared me for what Roy Buchanan could unleash. I left that concert in a rather dazed & confused state. So sad that this amazing guitarist would be dead at age 48.

The Daily Chat

A chatbox where we can post comments and have discussions on artists & songs. However, if you just want to say thank you for a particular post then please continue using the usual comment box located below each post.

Well it's Christmas Eve, so I'd like to wish each and every one of you and your families & loved ones a very happy Christmas. 

Today we'll take a break from the usual compilations I post here and in their place are 3 interesting Christmas albums that I'm sure you'll all enjoy as there's lots of Hillbilly, Blues & R&B. These are not albums from my collection, so as always, my thanks and acknowledgement goes to whoever did the original rips.

And today's photo is the grooviest Santa of all time.

Finally, as it's Christmas and you'll all be busy with family matters I won't post anything on Christmas day. We'll return to the normal posting schedule on Boxing Day.

Cheers to all of you. Eat, drink, be merry, and stay safe.

Bob Mac.
