LAZY LESTER RIDES AGAIN

Sometimes I feel a little guilty about posting stuff I've posted before, but sometimes the band, mix, or post somewhere else bears mentioning again. That's the case with this mix, So Many Days, posted in 2012 at Hearsay and still ripe for clicking. It's subtitled Rhythm and Blues 1946-1966, so you know just what you're getting into. There's a good bit of regular blues too. What isn't apparent by looking at the song list, packed with B-listers, is that every song on it is, at the very least, great. Some, mind blowingly so. Check out Lazy Lester's "Sad City Blues". Yeesh. Imagine someone humming "I've Put a Spell On You" on their way to the gallows. That's the feel if not the content. Doom Gold.

Here's just s few from the mix. Go there for all 24, posted individually and as a single zip.
