If you're a fan of acoustic delta style blues and haven't heard Jo-Ann Kelly, you're in for a treat. She may look a bit like your 5th grade classroom teacher, but she was a master of acoustic blues, both as a singer and as a guitarist. She clearly spent much of her life listening, studying and imitating some of the great blues players of the 1920's and '30's. Even my most dedicated listeners are in awe of the results. Check it out!

I was struck by this stylized portrait of bebop saxophonist Charlie Parker by artist Lowell Nesbitt, from the album "The Very Best of Bird". (Warner Brothers 2WB 3198 - 1977)

Leave it to the folks at Rhino Records to make me laugh out loud! I've seen "The World's Worst Records" album before, but never with this accessory. I can think of a few artists that might make me want to reach for it!

It was the artwork by Roger Dean that originally drew me to this album, "Bootleg Him!", by Alexis Korner. I'd heard the name, but was unfamiliar with his work. Many famous U.K. musicians worked with him...including pre- Led Zeppelin Robert Plant, Charlie Watts, Eric Burdon, Jack Bruce, Paul Rodgers, and many others. Listening was a true education in British blues rock.

It's not often that an album cover has me fooled. Thought I'd seen this image many, many times until I took a closer look. At least they gave a bit of a nod to R. Crumb. Imitation as a form of flattery, I suppose.

"Breathe on the LIving" - Locust Records 1989.
Considering the season, this seemed the perfect choice. Creepy, yeah, but also a bit funny, and certainly odd! Happy Halloween!
