Richard Thompson snarks. If you’ve never heard of him, I pity you.
Charles Ray Wiggins (aka Raphael Saadiq) with “Heart Attack.” This is some nice retro soul with cool camera angles.
Black Joe Louis is in so heavy with Howlin’ Wolf influence that there’s nothing left to say. This is one of the best killer jams I’ve heard in years. Crank it.
Dang, so much stuff goin’ down in so little time. Have a great weekend folks, and see you back here tomorrow.
I saw Richard Thompson play solo in a tent at Jazz Fest in New Orleans back in the late 80s, in front of maybe 50-100 people. He was great. factoid: He’s also a devout Muslim– Sufi, to be exact.

Richard & [ex-wife] Linda Thompson caught my ear with Wall Of Death, and it’s still one of my favorites. I didn’t even know what they were singing about when I first heard it but I liked the Scottish harmonies and the odd lyrics.
As for his Sufi religion, that’s news to me. At least that sect doesn’t proselytize and isn’t political.
