Record 2687. #JuniorParker #YouDontHaveToBeBlackToLoveTheBlues Junior Parker was a blues singer and harmonica player who often played with greats such as Howlin Wolf and B.B.King. He was an amazing song writer and his voice is beautiful, every song on here is fantastic. Regarding the slightly dubious album cover, producer Sonny Lester writes on the back "Chinese kids like watermelon, Irish like bagels, Black people like Jewish rye bread, and today everybody loves the Blues". #blues #soul #funk #howlinwolf #sonnylester #groovemerchant #vinyl #records #nowspinning #vinyljunkies #recordcollection #vinylcollection #vinyligclub https://www.instagram.com/p/CkdJS8GvGm2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

yesterday was Bobby ”Blue” Bland’s birthday. Dropping out of 3rd grade to work in a cotton field, working as driver for #BBKing and #JuniorParker, Mr Bland went on to record his rich baritone for #Chess, #Modern, #SunRecords & a phenomenal run on #Duke (some with the brilliant #PatHare on guitar). He recorded well into the 70s (and those #Malaco records are pretty solid) & was a huge influence on a diverse range of artists from #Otis Redding to the #GratefulDead to #JayZ. We love his take on “Honey Child” and you’ll hear it THIS FRIDAY #1stfriday https://www.instagram.com/p/BtMt9W9A-gI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1omqrk9wblf3s
