That does it. You people are way too brainy for me. Here, let me post my last two simpleton listenings...

 

[Old Uncle Toe]

Leo Kottke - 6 and 12 String Guitar



Derek Trucks Band - Live at Georgia Theater

 

[Nickyboy]

Don't know the second one you posted, Uncle, but that first one is an absolute masterpiece. I sat at Kotke's feet on stage while he played the entire album straight through in concert. 5/5 stars.

Aren't you glad you didn't become an ophthalmologist?

Black Mountain - IV (2016)

 

[Ojai Sam]

Al Jolson - Overseas (1959)

These are not studio recordings but transcriptions from Al's tenure on the Kraft Music Hall radio show. Many songs are included that he never recorded commercially. Al is in fine form, making this Decca LP an excellent place to explore his comeback years. It's available on CD from the International Al Jolson Society, of which I am a card-carrying member.

Love Jolson, a love I inherited from my day (gee, I'm reminiscing a lot about him today here). The Jolson Story was one of his favorite movies (and he was a guy with good cinematic taste but couldn't pass up even a cheesy Hollywood biopic about good ol' Al).
I didn't even know there was an International Al Jolson Society or I would join. Jealous as always, Sam

(talking about Jolson makes me aware that I've really not seem much be Jolie on the 6000 Songs countdown - I'm thinking one song so far if memory serves me correctly. Injustice!)

Blur - Modern Life Is Rubbish (1993)
