Any recommendations for Lightnin’ Hopkins. Don’t have any albums by him.

[lonson]

I would recommend any of the Imperial or Prestige recordings, they’re my favorite of his, and very consistently good . . .

[Sohail]

Thanks. I’m on Spotify right now and shall start searching.

[bootzilla]

The Complete Aladdin Recordings is well worth checking out, as well.

Spirit debut album

[pmotz]

You’ve posted several things from Archive and I thought, I’m gonna take a look. Well, I think rabbit hole dot org would be a better name! Unbelievable amount of “stuff” there, not just audio. They have even archived the internet itself! I’m going to have to be careful, could get lost for a long time.

[Sohail]

Thanks. Shall check them out. Right now foot tapping to “Baby please don’t go”.

It would be difficult to overstate the greatness of this curated compilation from A Thousand Highways. With any luck, it might still be available for free download HERE.

Curtis Fuller “Bone & Bari” TOCJ cd

[amsco15]

Disc 3 of this great set. 1927 and it sounds better than a lot of modern recordings.

[bootzilla]

This concert kicks @ss! Well worth seeking out on the used/secondary market. (The 2-CD set was originally issued to those who bought the “Trouble No More: The Bootleg Series Vol. 13 / 1979-1981” box set directly from Bob Dylan’s official website.)

[amsco15]

Favorite compilation ever. Disc 5 cued up.

[chrisj1948]

Not at all the sort of music I normally listen to. I found it ‘interesting’. At least parts gave my woofers and sub some much-needed exercise.

[amsco15]

This is on the compilation…he was just electric. It’s a privilege to hear this “new” on a good system.

[bootzilla]

@amsco15 I have wanted to hear this box set since you start posting it here. Unfortunately, it is not available on TIDAL or Spotify. However, someone created a playlist on Spotify that appears to track closely the box set’s contents. (The playlist contains 83 tracks, whereas the actual box set looks like it has 85 tracks.) I have the playlist cued up and it sounds great so far! Thanks for this and all your excellent suggestions!

[amsco15]

Glad you could find it. It’s a perfect combination of the tradition and the relatively current. I like that the music is still alive down there.

Thanks for the complement. I enjoy your posts very much too. I like the wide and deep knowledge here without the “typical” internet bullshit.

EDIT: well there is some internet bullshit here but it’s pretty limited and easy to ignore.

[amsco15]

The Sun King medley. I love that one of the funkiest bands in the world pay serious tribute to The Beatles. Easy to forget how deep into the culture The Beatles drove. Love this record!

I’ve never posted this and only hint at it in polite company: I LOVE THIS RECORD. Can’t keep sitting…do the escalator…
