Bob's Chat
Sunrise over NW Australia
Well, greetings from Perth, Western Australia. I arrived back here yesterday morning and have been flat out shopping and cleaning. Also it was a night flight from Bangkok to Perth and I just can't sleep sitting up on a plane, so I missed out of Friday night's sleep. Last night however (Saturday), after a few beers, I had the most wonderful night's sleep.
A few people have asked me what happened with The Basement/Buzzment. When I first set it up many moons ago the idea was for it to be a simple chatbox or comment page, like many other blogs have, where you can make requests and post links to albums you wish to share with others. However, it soon morphed into a whole new blog, which I had very little involvement in as I already have my own blog. But, last week it all came to an end as the team who were running it decided to move on to other things. They did an excellent job and shared lots of interesting things with us. I certainly picked up a few albums for my own collection. So I'd like to wish them all the best and thank them for the great job they did.
Anyway, The Buzzment was closed and I have now returned to my original plan of having a simple comment page where you can make requests and post links to albums you wish to share with others. You'll find the link on the right to "Bob's Cellar", there are already a few good things there, so have a look and help yourselves. Don't forget this is open for anyone to share, and any genre, so if you have an album you think others will enjoy just upload it to one of the many free file hosting sites that are available and put the link in the comments in Bob's Cellar.

Bob's 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.
Up until recently only the "Blues, R&B, Soul & Gospel Records" compilations have the year of the recording given for each track, however you may have noticed that now the jazz compilations also have the years added. With all the new batches of compilations that I'm currently compiling I'm now including the recording year for all tracks. So, the good news is in the future every compilation will have the recording years given with the track titles. The bad news is it's probably going to take about a year before they begin to appear on the blog as I have many compilations made up in advance waiting their turns to be posted.
Anyway, I'm sure you'll all agree that providing the recording year for each track is a good step forward and will make the compilations more interesting, especially the rare and old historical recordings.
Also you probably all know that the blog is now public again. So feel free to inform your friends and pass the word around. The blog is open to all, no registering and no password required. Everyone is welcome. Here's the blog address again: https://countrybluessoul.blogspot.com
Here today are 2 more compilations for your listening pleasure: "Blues, R&B, Soul & Gospel Records Vol 56", with 21 tracks from 1947 to 2022 by Dinah Washington, Wild Child Butler, Ray Charles, Ruth Brown, Eartha Kitt, and several other fine blues/R&B/Soul performers.
And "Assorted Best Of Jazz Vol 79" today puts the spotlight on a handful of jazz bass players with recordings from 1952 to 2023. Among the greats featured here are: Charles Mingus, Joe Chambers, Ray Brown, Jaco Pastorius, Wendell Marshall, Milt Hinton, along with a few lesser known players.
This Friday I'll be flying down to Perth for a few weeks break, so I'll probably won't post again for some days. I'll try get the next post up by Sunday.
As always my friends dig in and enjoy the music.
