A few weeks ago, I was delving into my blues LP collection and listened to a song from a blues compilation I apparently hadn't noticed or listened to before called "Funky Malaguena" by Snooks Eaglin.

"Holy crap!" I thought, "That's amazing!" So I tracked down the LP it was originally from called The Legacy of the Blues Vol 2: Snooks Eaglin, and it arrived today. I sat down a few hours ago and listed to it all the way through, and when the LP ended I realized I had discovered gold. What an album!

Even though this is from a series of blues albums, Eaglin combines a lot of styles into his playing- blues, R&B, New Orleans street music, jazz, even a little Latin flavor. What a great find!

Never heard of this Snooks fellow. I wonder if Kareem knows about this guy?

When I recently found out about Eaglin my first reaction was, how on earth is it I didn't know about him before?!

Here's spicy electric number:

And for a contrast to his wide variety of skill, my favorite (so far) acoustic piece by the man:

Found a few cool things. I was super stoked about finding the X white label until
I got home and realized that I already have one. Oops. Also a Pretenders gold stamp promo, Stones RSD from 2020, and a beautiful Sparks “Propaganda” original UK press from 1974.

The Beck’s are boots, but sound really good and will have to do until he decides to finally reissue them.

I had bought a bunch of Beck records and singles from his shop a while back. I think i have doubles of all of them. I need to look them up now.

The cover is a bit beat up but the record is in great shape. Worth $10.00.

Heck yes! I have that one. He is one of my favorites. Unique vocals. People compared him to Bob Dylan. Similar, yet I think I read he didn't even know who he was.

Thanks! Was able to get a $26 ticket to see him a couple weeks ago. Touring for the 30th anniversary and played then entire album in full. Amazing show. Had to stop by the merch table and pick it up.

Oh my, yes!

Here is a show I would LOVE to see, Donovan Leitch and Richard Barone together. That would be amazing!

May be an image of guitar clarinet flute and violin
