Jorma Kaukonen – #BecomeUngovernable Radio

Good morning, bluesologists. It’s another Tuesday Bluesday and I’m on the run due to an unresponsive computer for about 20 minutes. Stubborn little thing. We’ve got a great lineup today, so read on for details!

Here’s your Tuesday Bluesday lineup:

9:00 a.m. The Best of Texas Blues: Various Artists

One of our newer blues EP’s featuring Johnny Winter, Kim Wilson, Bobby “Blue” Bland, Doyle Bramhall II, Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown, Marcia Ball, Gary Clark Jr., Stevie Ray Vaughan, Lightnin’ Hopkins, Janis Joplin, Freddie King, Angela Strehli, Big Mama Thornton, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Blind Lemon Jefferson, ZZ Top, Ally Venable, and more!

4:00 p.m. Janis Joplin & Jorma Kaukonen: The Famous Typewriter Tape NEW!

A little unknown tidbit is that Janis Joplin and Jorma Kaukonen (Jefferson Airplane, later the great blues-rock band Hot Tuna) often collaborated. This is a short, but sweet, interlude recorded at Jorma’s house. The sound in the background is Jorma’s wife typing. Hence, the name. This is vintage 1964!

8:00 p.m. Stevie Ray Vaughan Live at The Mann Music Center, Philadelphia, PA, June 30, 1987

We close with SRV live at the Mann Center in Philly.

Our programming is Texas blues all the way around today. Before, In between, and after it’s our big, wide Open Stream! Just hit the button below!

The Texas Blues!

Yes, it’s another Tuesday Bluesday in The Mermaid Lounge and we have a full day of blues programming all lined up and ready to go. You’ll be enjoying it while I try to cope with the general purchasing public.

***Jack Casady and Jorma Kaukonen of Hot Tuna.***

Here’s today’s Tuesday Bluesday line-up:

11:00 a.m. Hot Tuna Live at Sweetwater Music Hall, Mill Valley, CA, January 27 & 28, 1992 NEW!

Here we have two veterans of The Jefferson Airplane now singing the blues in Hot Tuna. On this night, they are joined by Bob Weir of The Grateful Dead on guitar and vocals, the very bluesy Maria Muldaur on vocals and tamborine and Pete Sears on piano and accordion. By the way, after this performance, Pete Sears would stay with Hot Tuna until 2000.

3:00 p.m. Album of The Week: Moondance by Van Morrison

The second airing of our album of the week is up at 3:00 p.m. today.

7:00 p.m. Eric Clapton with Friends Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, and Joe Cocker

Eric Clapton gets together with friends Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck and Joe Cocker to round out our Tuesday Bluesday programming.
