I know it's Monday, and some people might have the blues going back to work today after a great weekend. But there's nothing like some hot Texas blues, with a little B.B. King mixed in, to get the week started off on a fine groove. This is a blistering set at Newport Jazz Festival, July 6, 1969. The band features Johnny Winter with Tommy Shannon on bass and Uncle John Turner on drums, with BB King sitting in for about one-third of the set. Winter and BB do some great interplay and trading of solos. This tape came from the Florida Kid, along with his other great Newport Jeff Beck and Ten Years After shows posted here previously. Wonderful quality, for a period audience tape this is excellent. Song samples provided.
