B. B. King - Live At The Regal "Worry, worry"

With this post I want to make a public statement regarding B. B.'s letdown performance at Clapton's Crossroad's Festival:   I apologize to B. B. and his family for the hard feelings I harbored.   And the shitty things I said about you, slander against your legacy.   I understand that you were hanging all day, in the air conditioning, with a lot of your blues guitar offspring, drinking Scotch.   When you hit the stage late in the evening you couldn't help but ramble, on and on and on...I forgive you.

Now, on to "Worry, worry", this is the blues!

Delaney & Bonnie And Friends - On Tour With Eric Clapton "That's What My Man Is For"

Time for some blues and soul from Bonnie.   This year they released a 4 CD Box Set with lots more material from this tour.   Leave a comment below if you want to hear the Royal Albert Hall show from that set.

I've been listening to On Tour with Eric Clapton more since Derek and Susan started covering the tune Coming Home from it.   I posted Derek playing Coming Home on a strat supposedly once owned by Duane and Delaney over here.   They covered it both times I saw them this summer.   Derek owns that riff.

Weather Report - 8:30 "Birdland"

The grove on this is infectious and for a simple riff I find it very joyful.   I love the sounds Jaco gets out of his fretless bass.

I first got hip to this tune when Jerry Douglas played it while sitting in with String Cheese Incident.   It was a lot of fun.   A bluegrass take on this tune was interesting.

I just read this morning on No Depression that Jerry just released a tribute album for the great Tut Taylor and is working on a new Jerry Douglas record.

Delaney & Bonnie w/ Duane Allman "Come On In My Kitchen"

The two Anthology Duane Allman volumes feature a lot of the studio stuff he worked on outside of the Allman Brothers.   Killer stuff.

This track was from a live radio broadcast from the A & R Recording Studio by WPLJ.   I have the rest of the broadcast somewhere and I will post it when I find it.

Jesse "Ed" Davis - Keep On Coming "6:00 Bugalu"

This one's for Jody over at When You Awake who mentioned she was into Jesse "Ed".

Jesse "Ed" Davis got his start on the music scene playing on the first few Taj Mahal records.   It was his playing on these records that inspired Duane Allman to pick up slide guitar.   We know how that turned out on Statesboro Blues.

He went onto produce albums or play on records for Gene Clark, Jackson Browne, John Lennon and plenty of others.   That's him playing slide on Stand By Me.
