Well here it is. Our first birthday. It was one year ago today, on Friday, October 21, 2022, that this blog commenced. So I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all the followers of the blog for your participation, encouragement and kind wishes.
Over the past 12 months there have been 641 compilations and rare albums posted. With an average of 20/21 tracks in each compilation, that adds up to over 13,000 tracks for your listening pleasure. Anyone who has downloaded all the compilations posted so far has by now built up a huge and very impressive collection of outstanding music, much of it scarce and hard to find elsewhere.
So without further ado here's 3 more posts for you today on this special one-year birthday celebration:
Assorted Recordings - Blues, R&B, Soul & Gospel Volume 52, with 22 tracks covering a 50 year period from 1949 to 1999. Special mention needs to be made of Dinah Washington's "Good Daddy Blues". Recorded for Mercury in 1949, with backing by Teddy Stewart & His Orchestra, which at the time included a 22 year old tenor saxophone player named John Coltrane, making this record (Mercury 8154) the first commercially released recording of John Coltrane. Other great Blues/R&B/Soul artists included here today are: Albert Collins, Esther Phillips, Long John Hunter, Son Seals, Jimmy Witherspoon, Jimmy McGriff, Clifton Chenier, Lucky Peterson, and a few other fine performers.
The very popular Assorted Hillbilly & Country Recordings series, now up to Volume 90 is "Cowgirls Get The Blues", a predominantly female collection (a couple of tracks have some fellas lending a hand) of tear-jerking & heart-aching songs that includes: Kitty Wells, Patsy Cline, Texas Ruby, Charline Arthur, Melba Montgomery, Dottie West and other fine country music ladies.
And "Albums That Deserve Another Listen" today showcases the mighty Jimmy Patton. I first heard Jimmy back in 1972 when I got my mail-order copy of Ronnie Weiser's Rollin' Rock EP. I was completely floored by those great rockabilly songs, in particular "Yah! I'm Movin'" with Jimmy blasting forth about "49 women yellin' more, more more", superbly backed by Roy Lanham's wild guitar playing and Freddie Haynes' boogie piano. Anyone who has never heard these tracks before is in for a treat. And if you haven't heard Jimmy Patton for some time then this is an album that deserves another listen.
Anyway my friends, enjoy the good music here today, and on into our second year.
