Love the Essential Albums Picked By Essential Blues Artists And Me.
I’m thinking this Sunday’s show will feature the songs and albums featured in the article. Obviously with an ok from you.
Some great lists from admirable talents. One I wish I had seen in the lists, that I grew up on, is "Ten Years After Recorded Live". Alvin Lee gets overlooked.

I grew up with Johnny Winter he was the guy who introduced me to everyone before him.

Fascinating to read the how’s and why’s of influences on these great musicians. I’m making my list to buy - oh happy day!
Thanks Alan!
