[Musicdept-talk] blues adds

[Jeffrey Fleenor]

Hi Folks,

I've been so damn busy lately I haven't had time to report on the blues adds. Loads of blues festivals this past month, lots of overtime at work and I was in Norway at the beginning of August. Anyhoo...I have been putting stuff out, so here it is. This should help us get caught up for the moment...

 - Live recording of later period Muddy Waters from the 70's featuring James Cotton and Johnny Winter.
2. Popa Chubby "Electric Chubbyland, Vol. 1" (Blind Pig Records)
 - blues rock guitarist Popa Chubby records his tribute to Jimi Hendrix which includes familiar songs like "Manic Depression", "The Wind Cries Mary", "Foxy Lady", "Red House", "Purple Haze" and "Third Stone From The Sun"
