Pushing the Halloween connection just a little, but...Blackest Day by Joanne Shaw Taylor. Surely one of the UKs finest blues guitarists (who happens to be female)?
Season of the Witch by Donovan.
I Put A Spell On You, Nina Simone. DAMN yes!
Not strictly blues, but Stevie Wonder's Superstition is *such* an all time favourite of mine, that I'll drop anything to listen to it.
Well...could do worse than Born Under a Bad Sign (pref Albert King). I'll get back to you with more!
Absolutely bloody shameful...and no damned surprise at all.
I go straight from my BBC TV quiz night (Mastermind, Only Connect, University Challenge) to Cerys on the radio now. 7:30 - 10pm on a Monday. What could be better? ☺️
Likewise. Great find.
