VA - Old Grey Whistle Test Present Blues (2011/FLAC)

 

The Old Grey Whistle Test was synonymous with quality music and although it was possibly best known for rock music the show maintained an amazing variety of performing artists. This album takes a look back at some of the best blues musicians who appeared on the show. Featuring the likes of Muddy waters, Fleetwood Mac, ZZ Top, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Howlin Wolf, the album also includes artists who for whatever reason didn’t or couldn’t appear on the show, but should have.

Phish discography [1986-2020]

 

Phish is a band known for musical improvisation, extended jams, blending of genres, and a dedicated fan base. Originating at the University of Vermont in 1983 (with the current line-up solidifying in 1985), the band's four members - Trey Anastasio (guitars, lead vocals), Mike Gordon (bass, vocals), Jon Fishman (drums, percussion, vacuum, vocals), and Page McConnell (keyboards, vocals) - performed together for nearly 20 years before going on hiatus in August 2004.

VA - Psychedelic States In The 60s Collection [19 CD, 2000-2009]

 


Gear Fab Records
has continued to unearth some of the most obscure '60s psychedelic sides for their massive undertaking of issuing these records region by region. It's a remarkable task, especially since so many relics from the psychedelic era have already been mined for the immensely popular Nuggets box sets, the Pebbles collections, and myriad other small-label collections. These are truly enjoyable sets of quality songs, not just the bottom of the barrel.
