Let's start this last minute new year's day fill-in with a little Texas twang!
North Mississippi All-Stars
Eyes
Sons of Jim Dickinson & RL Burnside make some rockin' blues, on "Instores & Outtakes" (Tone-Cool, 2004)
Particle
Launchpad
Thanks to Howard Tarplin for turning me on to this tune, via his annual 3-CD holiday compilation.
Duke Robillaird
Stratisfied
It's been a while since Duke left Roomful of Blues; on his own, he still plays a mean guitar-- as on his 2002 album "Living with the Blues"
Los Lonely Boys
Onda
These three Tex-Mex brothers are hot these days-- and it's nice to see some real talent in the pop charts instead of all the pretty boys (& girls)
Eddie Hinton
You Left the Water Running
What a soulful tune, from a white guy with lots of soul; Hinton died in the 90s-- but he left us some great music
Delbert McClinton
The Rub
Delbert wrote this one, for his 2002 "Room to Breathe" album on New West.
Doug Sahm
La Cacahuata (The Peanut)
Tex-Mex instrumental on Doug's "Groovers Paradise" album
Roy Head
Get Back
In 1988, Bear Family Records out of Germany issued a vinyl collection of Roy Head tunes called "Treat Me Right"
South Austin Jug Band
My Baby in the Sunshine
Found on "Live from the Devil's Barnyard" from KFJC radio, Los Altos Hills, California
Johnny Nicholas
Foggy Bottom
"Livin' with the Blues" is a nice new album from multi-instrumentalist Nicholas, with help from some of Austin's best.
Johnny Nicholas
Hill Top
Instrumental tribute to the Hill Top Cafe, near Fredericksburg , Texas-- which Nicholas and wife run. Check them out at hilltopcafe.com
Johnny Nicholas
Down in the Alley
Ernie Durawa-- longtime Doug Sahm/Texas Tornado percussionist-- plays drums on most of this album. This tune is a tribute to Sir Doug
Hank Crawford & Jimmy McGriff
Frim Fram Sauce
Recorded in 1986, this song has Mel Lewis on drums & George Benson on guitar-- and Crawford & McGriff on sax & organ
Chris Kenner
Will You Be Mine?
"New Orleans Rarities" has great songs but lousy fidelity!
Cecil Payne
Block Buster Boogie
Rev-Ola just put out an incredibly hot collection of 50s R&B called "Zoot Suit Riot"
Earl Bostic
Flamingo
These Rev-Ola Brits put out some amazing music; check them out at www.revola.co.uk/
Three Dots & A Dash w/ Big Jay McNeeley
Let's Do It (The Deacon's Hop)
Big Jay was a wild sax honker out of L.A. & Three Dots were a vocal group (with Jesse Belvin and others) he put together. Read Jay's amazing tale: "Nervous Man Nervous" by Jim Dawson
Paul Williams
Juice Bug Boogie
The great Hucklebucker was hot stuff in the late 40s & early 50s; check out the 3-CD set of his music on Blue Moon out of Barcelona
Rolling Stones
If You Need Me
Fine cover of Fats Domino/Dave Bartholomew tune; those Stones sure had good taste
Wardell Quezergue Orchestra w/Donald Harrison
What A Wonderful World
On "Our New Orleans"-- a terrific CD to benefit Habitat for Humanity efforts to rebuild N.O. Go out and buy a copy!
Gilberto Gil
Bat Macumba
Soul Jazz just put out a great collection of Brazilian music called "Tropicalia"; here are two versions of one cool tune
Os Mutantes
Bat Macumba
These Brazilian psychedelicists do strange things with the Gilberto Gil/Caetano Veloso's tune
Matamo Juma
Risala
From "Zanzibara 2" on Buda Musique out of Paris
Jethro Tull
Dharma for One
From their 1968 "This Was" album. The song ends a bit early; sorry.
Jethro Tull
Round
A short filler to make up for it!
Bobby Rambo
C'mon Everybody
Good cover of the Eddie Cochrane hit-- on "Kicksville, Volume 4" on Norton
Phil Baugh
Dry Camel
Hot guitar instrumental from "Live Wire" on Sundazed by this longtime Nashville session player
Phil Baugh

Nice vocal. These songs were recorded in 1964 & 1965 in Nashville
