Chris Whitley in New Orleans 1991
by Chris Whitley
supported by 5 fans who also own “Dislocaction Blues”
This is an excellent live recording of Chris Whitley performing solo. His playing is mesmerising, reminiscent of Dirt Music or Weeds, with similar feel and restless energy.

Chris Whitley's Reiter Inn & Hotel Vast Horizon are two all-time favorites but I can't believe I've overlooked Perfect Day. Medeski, Martin & Wood sound so classy, playing with warmth & feeling. Chris put his own spin on the blues idiom, making it exciting and fresh. He's recorded amazing covers over the years, this no exception. Chris Whitley really was an underappreciated auteur and suffered economically, physically through his discomfort with industry industry pragmatism.

Bloody Noses EP
by Richard Thompson
supported by 5 fans who also own “Dislocaction Blues”
John Drumbo French from Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band worked with Thompson on two albums along with Fred Frith and Henry Kaiser. Those two French, Frith, Kaiser and Thompson albums led me to this. Also, Richard Thompson taught Hugh Cornwell (of The Stranglers) how to play the bass guitar in a band when they were both at the same school (Emil and The Detectives?). With a career spanning 50 years and playing with two of my heroes (French and Cornwell) Thompson has produced a fascinating EP.

Serpent's Tears
by Richard Thompson
supported by 5 fans who also own “Dislocaction Blues”
There's a similarity in song writing between Richard Thompson and Hugh Cornwell which maybe isn't surprising as they went to the same school at the same time, although Thompson is older. Due to Thompson's association with John French of Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band I searched for his work on the Bandcamp app. French, Thompson and Cornwell all have albums on the app which I'm very pleased about. Only Thompson has released contemporary albums, much to his credit.
