Way back when I started spinning these tunes for you, I played a few records by Big Brother and the Holding Company. Now I come to a Big Brother record that is misfiled in the Js. I'll play it and then file it correctly in the Bs.

1966. Here's a lady with maybe the greatest set of pipes in rock history.

I've been doing a lot of file back-ups the last few days. This includes some relatively new musical acquisitions in the last year or so. Many of them I played as I went along. Some I did not. I may mention a few here that you missed.

Here's a 2008 CSNY release I'm not going to play now, for example.

And here's another release from 2014, recorded in 1974.

A few new blues albums. For example, a 15 Nov 1969 Son House-Live Performance.

1996. Blind Boy Fuller. Heart Ease Blues [The Blues Collection].

The sound recordings from a 2013 documentary called Blues America.

A couple Steve Martin records...

There may have been one or two folk records I missed....

Did I mention the Karen Dalton records earlier?

Pretty sure I played at least one of the Sandy Denny records for you.

Don't recall playing the Charlie Louvin record....maybe just one or two cuts from it in reference to another matter. Good record.

....And a vast amount of mp3s involving the #CivilWar and #JamesJoyce, which we're not attending to during this play-through.

But we'll get back to the Janis Joplin when we resume this thread tomorrow.

1969. I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama!

1971.

2003.

1978. No one ever said it would be easy to go from Janis Joplin to Journey. But I have only a few Journey records so that helps, I tell myself.

1988.

That brings us to the end of the J folder. Next up are the JAZZ (1769 files) and JOYCE, JAMES (4110 files) folders. Sorry to say we'll be skipping the JOYCE, JAMES folder for the same reason we skipped the AUDIOBOOKS, CIVIL WAR AND DYLAN, BOB [BOOTS] folders.

As for JAZZ, I'll be mixing it up with rock much the way I did with CLASSICAL and COUNTRY AND WESTERN. If we all behave like responsible adults we can get through anything together. (But actually the JAZZ is really good.)

So let's kick off the jazz with this 1957 record, Henry "Red" Allen's All Stars.

This first jazz record, which btw features Coleman Hawkins, is really, really good.

So let's keep going. 1958.

One more before we call it a night. 1960. I'm digging this jazz very much. Hope you are too.

1969. As I said, mixing up the jazz with other musical forms. King Crimson. In the Court of the Crimson King.

1971. Less bombast. More power.

1971.

Easing back into the groove with some random Louis Armstrong cuts.

1968. David Axelrod. Songs of Innocence.

1969. David Axelrod. Songs of Experience.

1955. Billy Bauer. Let's Have a Session.

1957.

1974. Jorma Kaukonen. Quah.

(BTW, for any of you new to this thread, whenever I post an album cover, you're expected to pull that album out from your collection so we can listen to it together. I'd be displeased to learn some of you are not in compliance.)

1985. This record is at least 100 years old.

1988. Not only was this a good record, it also was a *digital* recording.

1978.

This will take a while, so let's get going.

1955.

1956.

1959.

1988. Good stuff.

20 Years of the King Biscuit Flower Hour. Taped this from KLPX on 8 June 1992. Bruce, Petty, Police, U2, Stones, Bowie, Genesis, Lennon, Gabriel, Knopfler, Cocker, Allmans, Townshend, Clapton, Plant. Rock on.
