  1. One of the best of all time. RIP. Nice that he had a comeback in recent years and did some truly remarkable work to put a cap on an already stellar career...
  2. Today's update features the Heavenly Gospel Singers performing "Mean Old World," which closes the first disc of the last volume of the "Anthology."
  3. Today's update features former convict Booker T. Washington (Bukka) White performing "Parchman Farm Blues."
  4. Today's update features the legendary Robert Johnson performing "Last Fair Deal Gone Down."
  5. Today's update features Big Joe Williams and his Washboard Blues Singers performing "Baby Please Don't Go," the first recording of this blues standard.
  6. Was there some kind of law that every artist had to put out an album called "Visions" during the '70s?
  7. Nearly a week in the making, today's update features Huddie "Lead Belly" Ledbetter performing "Packin' Trunk."
  8. I like the first (Al Kooper) BST album quite a lot. I also like the self-titled second album (the one where Clayton Thomas took over as lead vocalist). In many ways, the second album is more jazz influenced than the first. You just have to listen to the WHOLE album, and not just the three or four singles that got played to death on oldies radio.
  9. Today's update features Jack Kelly and his South Memphis Jug Band performing "Cold Iron Bed."
  10. I've tried Chrome and I don't see any advantage. Firefox works fine for me...
  11. Today's update features pianist Jesse James, a figure about whom nothing is known, performing "Southern Casey Jones." This is the first track on the "Anthology" to feature the piano as a solo instrument.
  12. I have yet to see an episode of this program, but I like the fact that curvy women seem to be coming back into vogue as a result of its popularity...
  13. Today's update features Bluegrass pioneers the Monroe Brothers performing "Nine Pound Hammer Is Too Heavy," a relative of "Spike Driver Blues."
  14. They blowed that up REAL good!
  15. Today's update features J.E. Mainer's Mountaineers performing "John Henry Was A Little Boy," featuring the vocals and banjo of Wade Mainer, the only "Anthology" artist still living.
  16. Today's update features Grand Ole Oprey star, Arthur Smith, along with the Delmore Brothers, performing "Adieu, False Heart."
  17. http://www.scottpilgrimthemovie.com/avatarCreator/
  18. The decline and fall of Western civilization rocks, then!
  19. Today's update features the Blue Sky Boys, aka Earl and Bill Bolick, performing "Down on the Banks of the Ohio," a chilling performance if there ever was one.
  20. LOVE it!
  21. Today's update features the return of the Carter Family (their fifth appearance so far) performing "Black Jack David."
  22. Today's update features radio entertainer Bradley Kincaid performing "Dog and Gun (An Old English Ballad)," the only ballad chosen by Smith to depict a strong female character...
  23. Volume Four begins today! This update features the return of the Memphis Jug Band performing "Memphis Shakedown," a mix of the hillbilly breakdown and the African American shake
  24. Henry Thomas returns in today's update with "Fishing Blues," the last song on the original three volume "Anthology."
