The fabulous Thunderbirds, say it with me, Taj Mahal (chops to Mike), Double Trouble (without SRV, still great), and the nearly holy North Mississippi Allstars!  Man, play it again.

This is Texas Blues, baby!

Ok, not the real deal...I mean, it's French...but what a lineup...Sam & Dave, Wilson Pickett, Otis Redding, and Booker T.  Great album covers, and A sides...

OK, everybody...Gatemouth, Roy Buchanan, Cephas & Wiggins, C.J. Chenier (life's to short to not party), W.C. Clark (life's to short to not cry), Albert Collins, Shemekia Copeland, Guitar Shorty, Buddy Guy, Dave Hole, Jimmy Johnson, Guitar Junior, Kinsey Report, the great late Professor Longhair, Lonnie Mack, Roomful of Blues, Otis Rush, Son Seals, and the real thin white dude...Johnny Winter.

Tell me you can't hear this

Elvin Bishop, Eddy Clearwater, Commander Cody (where are the Lost Planet Airmen?), James Cotton, oh my god, Buddy Guy, Magic Slim, Coco Montoya, Big Bill MorganField (I'm a man, or at least his son). Roy Rogers (not a Trigger man), Otis Rush, Jimmy Thackery, and all the rest...Really, this lineup lets them say, " We are one of the premier independent American blues and roots music labels in the world" and back it up.

Blind Pig...home of good dental hygiene
