Big Maybelle's got a new bag – and we like it! This tasty set was cut for the tiny Rojac label in between Maybelle's earlier years at Savoy and later albums on Brunswick – and it's got a swinging, 60s mod sort of style that's pretty darn groovy, baby!

Lovemaker (Japanese paper sleeve edition – plus bonus tracks) ... CD Big Town/P-Vine (Japan), 1978. New Copy ... $22.99
A bit later than some of Lowell Fulsom's funk work for Kent Records – but a set that's almost more vintage overall! The album's recorded for the short-lived Big Town imprint – a late 70s venue that took older R&B artists back to the sounds of a few decades before – never too ... read more CD

Funky Blues 1960s to 1970s – Modern/Modern/Kent/P-Vine (Japan), 1960s/1970s. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
The title gets it right – and the grooves do too – nothing but funky blues from the 60s and 70s, the kind of gritty, hard-edged tunes that are way better than the sort of blues you might be used to hearing at frat boy bars! All of the work here was originally issued on west coast indie ... read more CD
Lowell Fulsom —
Tramp (Japanese paper sleeve edition – with bonus tracks) ... CD Kent/P-Vine (Japan), 1967. New Copy ... $22.99

Living Blues, 2020. New Copy ... $4.99
Texas blues veteran Tutu Jones gets the cover nod in this issue of Living Blues – and a worthy one at that, as Tutu has been a vital, if underappreciated player on the blues scene since the 1990s!
