A couple weeks ago, I had the (admittedly rare) drunk idea that stood up in sober light to challenge Allan to a Desert Island Dozen, listing the 12 albums that you could not live the rest of your life without. A couldn't quite get it down to 12, but here goes nothing...
Matt's Desert Island (Baker's) Dozen
William Clarke – Tip of the Top
The Faint – Danse Macabre
Holly Fats Band – Rock This House
Ray Wylie Hubbard – Live at Stingaree 4-13-07
BB King – Live at the Regal
Little Walter - The Essential Little Walter:1
The Pixies – Doolittle
Reverend Horton Heat – Smoke 'Em if You Got 'Em
Jimmie Rivers & the Cherokees – Brisbane Bop
Raymond Scott - Reckless Nights & Turkish Twilights
Junior Wells – Blues Collection
Hank Williams III – Straight to Hell
Stevie Wonder – Songs in the Key of Life
(in alpha order)
In other exciting news, this blog's now the first hit when Googling 'Giggin for a Livin'.

a month & no posts ... what's up? too smashed to post/remember?
ReplyDeletePersonally, I'd like to have a recording of instructions on how to get off of a desert island. Other than that, cool choices.
ReplyDelete"King of the Delta Blues" is a record I have to listen to all the time, and "AKA Muddy Waters" is a tough one to miss. "A Love Supreme" still gives me goosebumps, and there are a bunch of great single cuts. Irving's guitar intro on "Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye" or Spann's piano on "One Room Country Shack" on "A Man and His Blues." Ditto Jr's great intro to "Early in the Morning" ("Don't make no difference- them's girls. It's a crazy little thing...")
A desert island i-pod, maybe.
