Artist	Track	Comments
Big Guitars from Texas	Boomerang	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

Phil Baugh	Dry Camel	Hot guitar instrumental from "Live Wire" on Sundazed by this longtime Nashville session player
Phil Baugh	No Deposit, No Return	Nice vocal. These songs were recorded in 1964 & 1965 in Nashville
