As Luis Tiant used to say in his Yankee Franks ads: "It's great to be with a Wein-er."

Haruki Murakami: Kafka on the Shore A wonderfully inventive and disturbingly moving novel

Yeah, but he got to play with Bird, and that's something.

The Spaceman looks like he's had a few too many or a bit too much.

Braveheart Mel Gibson Jesus (at least in Mel's mind)

The Jimmy McCracklin thread inspired me to put this one on the box: Jimmy McCracklin and His Blues Blasters: Rockin' Man (Route 66)

Definitely not the Route 66 Rockin' Man - only two of the titles you list match up with that one. And I can't find a number of the titles you list in the blues discography I'm looking at. As Hans said, McCracklin's discofraphy is a mess, so I may have missed something. He recorded "Take a Chance", "My Love for You", and "Farewell" (possibly the "Farewell Baby" you list) for Irma in 1956 - later reissued on Premium or Imperial. This remains a small mystery.

That's probably fairly rare. I have the Cecil on Praxis but not that one. I think it may have reappeared on a Leo cd Paul. Didn't know about the Leo reissue, but your vinyl copy is still probably rare.

I think that Steve and Chuck are probably correct. I can't recall a McCracklin release on Black Lion - tho it might have slipped by my attention. As long as I'm on this thread, I'll put in a mention for Jimmy McCracklin's Chess recordings. "The Walk" was his big hit on Chess, but he did a number of good recordings for that label. Unfortunately, I don't believe that any of it is in print now. There was an LP on P-Vine and a CD on UK Chess/Charly. Perhaps Hip-O select will do a McCracklin Chess release.

Same here. A hundred and four is a bunch of years.
