No Lunch Record Today - Funeral

B.B. King, King Of The Blues (1974?)

Thursday's lunch record is"B.B. King, King Of The Blues" (197?). This reissue album is of an old Crown Record 5167 from 1960. The masters had been sold of their recordings leading to many great blues & R&B reissue sides of their other artists including B.B. The quality of the vinyl pressing and the cover is below budget. Even with the inferior packaging, delivery of B. B.'s music is always a welcome listen to this blues lover and everybody that loves the blues.. The YouTube sample is the entire album all ten songs. They are listed on the youTube posting. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=B.B.+King+long+nights . . . . enjoy . . . bucko

This is the original album cover from Crown Records CLP-5167 (1960).

Fleetwood Mac, Kiln House (1970)

Tuesday's lunch record is "Fleetwood Mac, Kiln House" (1970). This rocker is their fourth album. I still remember buying this in High School and although many nicesongs  I didn't think it was as good as previous albums after they lost Peter Green. The YouTube sample is an old R&B song "Hi Ho Silver" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TjnxhqYv1E . . . . .bucko

Cab Calloway, Hi De Ho Man (1973)

Monday/s lunch record is "Cab Calloway, Hi De Ho Man (1973)". Today we listen to sides 2 & 3 of this double album. More big fun with his big band a swingin' and Cab's vocals scatting and swooning his high jive. That cat is all reet, the YouTube sample is the title hit "Hi De Ho Man"  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-kJqM7he9o . . this is a super short film of Cab singin' dancin' and leadin' his band 1934 , , , love it . .bucko
