Matt “Guitar” Murphy – Murphy’s Boogie
We discussed it a couple weeks ago, but we recently lost Matt Murphy. He sure had some licks.
1963
Holy crap, Slim's fingers...
Big Joe Williams – Sloppy Drunk Blues
If alcohol won't help solve your problem, maybe this will.
Sister Rosetta Tharpe – Didn’t It Rain
Hot diggity, if this doesn't cure what ails you then noting will. Also, Sister shreds in some heels.
I was deciding between these two, and what the hell, you get both. You're welcome.
Honey Island Swamp Band – Devil’s Den
What would meat week look like without a post that was a day late and a dollar short. (and a video I've already played once... )You're welcome.
Odetta – The Bitter End
Gotta pay attention, man. The whole way though.
Michael Kiwanuka – Black Man in a White World
Michael Kiwanuka's Love & Hate is one of my favorite albums of the year, and the above cut seems particularly apt social commentary and a fitting spin after Pepper's selection yesterday. If you're inclined, the live studio track below is excellent, but I didn't think it qualified by the (unofficial?) live recording convention for WGOM videos.
Aaron Neville – Pledging My Love
Here we go, gang!

B.B.King – Stormy Monday Blues
Hey folks, today is a day before tomorrow, and I've got the blues. Hug your loved ones, and try to be patient with your neighbors.
Bonnie Raitt – Angel From Montgomery
Chill song for a hopefully chill day.
1976
