Little Walter
From Bob Corritore. Little Walter with fans, Borough Assembly Hall, Aylesbury, England, October, 1964.
Rufus Thomas Bear Cat 1953
Gideon Coe had an interview with Peter Guralnik who has a new book out on Sun Records. On Sounds. He played this one.
Rufus Thomas had an interesting career. Read his wiki
"I'm young, I'm loose, I'm full of juice, I got the goose so what's the use. We're feeling gay though we ain't got a dollar, Rufus is here, so hoot and holler."[14]

Dennis Brown Westbound Train 1973
Heard this reggae tune on Ranking Full Stop. It's good. Listen here. I recognise the guitar figure but I can't remember where it's from. P.s. Just remembered it - Love and Happiness Al Green.

A New Leaf Jimmy Reed possibly 1965
Here. This is very appropriate for New Year's Day. In fact it is the only one I can think of!
Blue and Lonesome take 1 Little Walter 1959
'Take 1 Blue and Lonesome by Little Motherfucker Walter.' One of my favourite Little Walter tunes - chromatic harmonica which is unusual.
Uptown Chambers Brothers 1967
This is good. I believe this song is in the movie Summer of Soul. Chambers Brothers. I first encountered as covered by Johnny Thunders.

Bow wow wow Louis Quatorze 1980
Saturday Night selection. Thought I would choose something for Vivienne Westwood. She was involved in outfitting early Bow Wow Wow and very cool they looked too. Here is one with them kitted out. Enjoy!
Stroll out West Eddie Taylor 1957
A Blues bopper I believe they call this kind of groove. I really like Eddie Taylor he was a great musician.
St Laurence's Church, Bradford-on-Avon
I am not mad on churches but I do like this one - an Anglo-Saxon church at Bradford-on-Avon. From at least the 10th century it laid undiscovered, obscured by other buildings until the 19thc. Bradford-on-Avon is worth a day trip - the Tithe Barn is great too.

Mickey Bradley just played this indie classic. Presumably it is an intentional Fall pastiche?
