B-Squared Blues Playlist - April 10th 2012


Here's what we played on the night. The station has just purchased two turntables, replacing our rather old and somewhat disfunctional turntable, so we spun a lot of vinyl on the night!


Dr Frankenstein - Emergency Exit
muddy waters - too young to know
blind willy mctell - bell st lightning
blind willy mctell - love makin' momma #1
Doug Jerebine - Hole in my Hand
Doug Jerebine - Fall Down
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Spread your love
buddy guy - when my left eye jumps
buddy guy - interview PBS
buddy guy - stone crazy
Alabama Shakes - on your way
Holy Coast - grizzlybearsharktopus
the krontjong devils - Arab
Ida Cox - One Hour mama
Workdogs - gunshot blues
Holy Coast - grizzlybearsharktopus
Joe Ely - Musta Notta Gotta Lotta
Joe Ely - Dallas
The flaming lips - thank you jack white
the black keys - hell of a season
ashe grunwald - the devil called me a liar
lil ed and the blues imperials - mean ol frisco
juniour kimbrough - slow lightning
Think that one of the highlights of the show was a repeat playing of Gunshot Blues by the Workdogs, recorded live at WFMU. Lengthy lo-fi narrative talking-blues thing about having the window of your car shot out on the way to a gig.

There's a few blues tracks that I've culled from the FMA available here: http://freemusicarchive.org/member/Countrymike
