#1 Johnny  Tucker 

 Seven Day Blues (2018)  


Each song on the album was recorded live at Atkinson’s BigTone Studio in Hayward, CA, with all the players in one room, playing vintage gear and recorded on vintage equipment, and this commitment to authenticity comes through on every track. From the uptown Chicago shuffle of “Tired Of Doing Nothing” to the aching slow blues of the closing “You Can Leave My House”, via the primeval funk of the title track and the echo-drenched slide of “Do-Right Man”, each song reeks of deep emotion and well as a true understanding and appreciation of the way music used to be made.

Well for what it is worth..
that's the best of 2018  for me !
I had many others on my list...
hard to pick sometimes 
Thanks to all hard working bands for these great offerings!


Happy Downloading  for 2019!

After some detective work, this is the show from Warsaw, Poland, Oct 22, 1976. It has been edited down from the 2-LP original but the sound quality is better. Mannish Boy is not on the previous release but the original has 16 tracks.
