Now spinnin, the only man who ever learnt directly from the Faustian Robert Johnson. Robert ‘Jr’ Lockwood and the Aces, Live Blues. Recorded in 74 in Tokyo. They originally came bundled with a 7inch single (which I sadly don’t yet have). Trio Records, 1975
Hot Tuna was the blues-rock side experiment of Jefferson Airplane’s Jorma Kaukonnen and Jack Casady. It went on to lead a much much longer life than the great Airplane. Hoppkorv is their seventh album and their last on Grunt Records. And although it has a couple of covers of Mud and Chuck Berry, this album is much much more hard classic rock than blues rock. Heavy riffs and lots of waaah-waaah! And appropriately psychedelic 3D cover art to go with the music.
