00:00 Ry Cooder - "My Girl Josephine" (Fats Domino & Dave Bartholomew, 1960) 03:10 Buckwheat Zydeco - "Rock Me Baby" (B.B. King, 1964) 08:10 Lenny Kravitz - "When The Levee Breaks" (Joe McCoy & Memphis Minnie, 1929) remastered "Led Zeppelin" 1971, album "Led Zeppelin IV") 11:35 Irma Thomas - "Back-water Blues" (Bessie Smith [& James P. Johnson piano], 1927)



Ry should do an album with Irma! We were talking the other day about Ry playing My Girl Josephine the old Dave Bartholomew number and what key it was in when he played the benefit for Hurricane Katrina affected Nawleans . . . . . and so I found this! This was the Blues section of the concert and it is still available knocking around on DVD if can find it. BUY IT!


Lenny too far down in the mix but heck this is FUN!

I would definitely buy an album with these guys on!
