    A few decades ago I noticed that Bobby Bland had two albums ranked in the NME best albums of 1974 (although technically one came out in 1973) - His California Album and Dreamer. And it's taken me until now to finally pick them up. So I'm giving the earlier album another spin. Both are excellent and left me wondering why I'd never bought them before.

    Backing Vocals – Ginger Blake, Julia Tillman*, Maxine Willard*
    Bass – Max Bennett, Wilton Felder
    Concertmaster [Strings] – Sid Sharp*
    Conductor, Arranged By, Piano, Organ – Michael Omartian
    Drums – Ed Greene (2)
    Guitar – Ben Benay, David Cohen, Dean Parks, Larry Carlton, Mel Brown
    Horns – Chuck Findley, Dick Hyde, Ernie Watts, Jack Kelson, Jr.*, Paul Hubinon

    Anyone know what the later ABC & MCA albums are like?

    Another Classic suggestion "Aftermath"! If I could only keep one Muddy Waters title, this would be my choice, althought I do have 3 nice copies ... original USA and Canadian pressings, and the Speakers Corner which sounds excellent! :)

    Blind Willie McTell & Curley Weaver: The Post War Years 1949-1950

    I have to admit that I have enjoyed these document records albums. They seem to have decent quality, and the tracks are really great.
