    New Gov't Mule out today.
    Heavy Load Blues.
    I did a brief run through of the first half, maybe 30-60 seconds each.

    Solid work. Variety of styles it seems.  Will be picking this up for sure.

    I've never seen this band referred to as blues.  Excellent band, but blues?

    branched out for this one.

    excellent and very versatile group of musicians.

    Yes, versatile for sure, and fine musicians.  A friend sent me a sampler.  I might have to make a choice about getting one of their LPs and see how far it goes for me.  Suggestions?

    Too slow and limited data, even with my hotspot.  I'll try AllMusic, they usually have song clips that are low data.

    Thanks, M.  Good stuff, just not my thing.  Not big on the singer.  That's no put down, just doesn't do it for me.

    Makes sense.  The few other clips I'd seen had a different singer.  Thanks for sharing the video.

    I saw Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Robert Randolph last night. What a great show. KWS was on fire and Robert Randolph was really cool. His band covered Cream, Hendrix, and The Doobie Brothers. KWS covered Hendrix during his encore with a searing rendition of Voodoo Child (Slight Return).

    Blues fan, check this out! 
    Earlier in this thread, I mentioned the Chicago/The Blues/Today series that I am so very fortunate to have on the original Vanguard series.  That series is rather pricey but I just learned that the series has been re-issued and though still (to me anyway) fairly expensive, they are available here in this nice vinyl reissue that is generally well received.  There are few compilations of Chicago blues that top this one, so if you're a fan, this might be worth checking out:
    https://www.discogs.com/release/19115242-Various-ChicagoThe-BluesToday-
    And the CD version is definitely more affordable:

      He spent a lifetime collecting the blues. The Smithsonian listened.
    By Geoff Edgers
    October 14, 2023 at 6:00 ET
    Robert “Mack” McCormick’s life was all about the blues. His Houston home was stuffed with reel-to-reel tapes, research files and vinyl records. But by the time he had died at age 85 in 2015, few really knew what his collection contained. That included his daughter, Susannah Nix. She was 3 when he finished his last significant project, the liner notes for a 1974 album featuring 1920s recordings by Texas musician Henry Thomas.
    Which is why Nix thinks she knows exactly how her father would feel about the Smithsonian’s public reveal of the unruly collection McCormick coined “The Monster.”
    “Oh, he would hate it,” says Nix, a 52-year-old writer in Texas and McCormick’s only child. “Which is why he never did anything. He was his own worst enemy. Nothing would ever be perfect enough. Even if he didn’t know he wanted it, it still had to be the ideal version of how it should be.”
    [Sharp. Witty. Thoughtful. Sign up for the Style Memo newsletter.]
    McCormick spent decades building his collection — 590 reels of recordings and 160 boxes of other materials. He was a member of what is often described as the “Blues Mafia,” the White collectors who roamed the South during the 1950s and ’60s searching for Black blues musicians they felt had been overlooked. The material on McCormick’s shelves remained largely unheard and unseen — until now. Thanks to Nix’s decision in 2019 to donate it to the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History, there is a slew of material being released to the public.

    continues.....
