Orphans

Awesome 3 CD masterpiece. Contains at least one amazing blues album, quite apart from all the other stuff in there. Essential.
Dog House Music

He's become a legend since NYE, but he was great all along. An unquestionable blues record that avoids all the cliche
Bahamut
by Hazmat Modine
£20.42

My Name Is Buddy
by Ry Cooder

'Bound For Glory' for cats. Cooders' homage to dust-bowl politics.
