Highly recommended: Blues Images calendars and CDs


J.A.W.

Recommended Posts

Lovers of pre-war blues and the Yazoo label might be interested in this. Blues collector and researcher John Tefteller issues a blues calendar with a CD each year on his Blues Images label. The CDs that came with the older calendars (Vols.1-8) are now available separately, the most recent one (Vol.9, 2012) currently only with the calendar. The CD transfers and masterings were done by Yazoo owner Richard Nevins and the sound is as good as it can be. Both the calendars and CDs are highly recommended!

... in the same vein?

The FROG Blues & Jazz Annual (Vols. 1 and 2 are out) also comes with a CD ;) so it not only makes for nice listeinng for those who go for early blues and jazz but also for hours and hours of very interesting reading.

Recommended!

Thanks for starting this thread. John Tefteller is in Grants Pass! (I know that there's at least one person on this board from this city. I'm about two hours north.)

Some of those comps look very tasty.
