And that was Chris James and Patrick Rinn with "Stop and Think About It." It's the title track from the album they released in June last year. Well, I interviewed Eric Bibbs some time ago and did a special show on him, but I haven't played much poems since. So this is from his time and days, hold them.

Samuel James and the water's always changing, but the river. It's been a terrific new album for Rosa, Maeve and Norrine. I'm not sure which one of them is coming behind him on the cover with a gun. So watch out, Samuel. Before that, Eric Bibb and Dr. Shine. Okay, let's bring in the heavyweights.

with "Bending Like a Willow Tree" from out 2001 album "Living On Above". It's a lull, full song, and she does it really well. And before that, the blues overdrive without in the country. As I say, they're from Denmark and have a new three track EP out. I'll put a link to their site on my playlist as I will with everybody I place today. Okay, let's change the style a bit now. This is Snooky Prior. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ Go back to the one you're loving 'Cause you don't care, thank me ♪ Go back to the one you're loving 'Cause you don't care, thank me ♪ I've tried so hard to make you love me So now I'm taught as I can be ♪ How could you ever worry baby ♪ With the heart that's made of stone ♪ How could you ever worry baby ♪ With the heart that's made of stone ♪ So get your hat in a hurry Because you should have been gone ♪ I know you don't think I mean it But I'll swear to the stars above ♪ ♪ I know you don't think I mean it But I'll swear to the stars above ♪ ♪ I'm through with you forever Now go back to the one you love ♪ ♪ Well, if I could only take one person's musical I would put to the Desis Highland, I think it would be Tebow and Walker. That was "Go Back to the One You Love" recorded in Los Angeles in December 1947 for the black and white label. And before that, "Snookey Prior and the Country Blues" with "Call the Doctor" recorded in 1973 for today records and thankfully re-released in 1997 on sequel records. It's a great line of "Snookey" himself on harmonica and vocals. He gave you a hint in the middle shouting "All right, homesick, homesick James" on the slide guitar. Louis Meyers and mighty Joe Young on guitars are Dave Meyers on bass and Fred Bilo on drums terrific stuff. I must come back to that album. It's a while since I've played anything from it. Well, you can't get two raucous after Tebow and Walker. So, let's stay a bit mellow but come up to date. This is "Smoking Joe Kubrick" and "Bunu R. King". ♪ ♪ She walked through the door ♪ ♪ Seemed to float across the roof ♪ ♪ Yeah, I began to feel ♪ ♪ With a smell of reproduce ♪ ♪ I checked out every curve ♪ ♪ I noticed every line ♪ ♪ She was one of a kind ♪ ♪ Oh, so fine ♪ ♪ The pleasure was on my way ♪ ♪ ♪ Her hair was black and curly ♪ ♪ Like midnight on a moon this night ♪ ♪ Eyes that looked right through me ♪ ♪ I could not put up a fight ♪ ♪ Had to kind of do it ♪ ♪ That should be a crime ♪ ♪ So divine ♪ ♪ Oh, so fine ♪ ♪ ♪ The pleasure was on my way ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ I followed her eyes to door ♪ I wondered if my eyes deceived ♪ I hated to see her go ♪ I loved watching the lead ♪ A vision of perfection ♪ I looked at and refined ♪ If only she was mine ♪ ♪ Oh, so fine ♪ ♪ So divine ♪ ♪ So divine ♪ ♪ The pleasure was all mine ♪ ♪ ♪ Smoking Joe Kubeck and Punhua King ♪ With the pleasure was all mine. It's from the Blood Brothers album, which was released last year. It's a good album. Well, hand-bone Willy Newburn was the bloke that wrote her role in Tumble Blues. And I've often wondered how much money he made from that. Probably very little. This is him doing Way Down in Arkansas. ♪ Way Down Your Know ♪ ♪ I can't solve ♪ ♪ Where you find it to end us ♪ ♪ So can hear the ruses growing ♪ ♪ About to break our game ♪ ♪ Oh, hit a living in the new bone ♪ ♪ Hey, there's where my greed ♪ ♪ And more words made up ♪ ♪ Well, with great bread ♪ ♪ Oh, well, he's standing there together ♪ ♪ I'll be loving each other ♪ ♪ Way down in Arkansas ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ Way Down Your Know ♪ ♪ I can't solve ♪ ♪ Where you find it to end us ♪ ♪ So can hear the ruses growing ♪ ♪ About to break our game ♪ ♪ Oh, hit a living in the new bone ♪ ♪ Hey, there's where my greed ♪ ♪ And more words made up ♪ ♪ Well, with great bread ♪ ♪ Oh, well, he's standing there together ♪ ♪ I'll be joined with each other ♪ ♪ Way down in Arkansas ♪ ♪ I can't feel the ducking moaning ♪ ♪ At the old bone bill again ♪ ♪ See the latest tip in cloth ♪ ♪ The kitchen fell ♪ ♪ When you get your coffee ♪ ♪ You're the people who dig ♪ ♪ See the trick is slipping ♪ ♪ I feel like enough ♪ ♪ Way down your know ♪ ♪ Arkansas ♪ ♪ Where you find it to end us ♪ ♪ Oh, now when you make your money ♪ ♪ When you see your honey ♪ ♪ Read down in Arkansas ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ Way down your know ♪ ♪ Arkansas ♪ ♪ Where you find it to end us ♪ ♪ Oh, can you hear the ruses flowing ♪ ♪ 'bout to break our day ♪ ♪ Oh, take a slippin' out the new bone ♪ ♪ Hey, that's when my mother know ♪ ♪ Boy, it's made up ♪ ♪ With brother know ♪ ♪ Where we went around the killer ♪ ♪ How we drove each other ♪ ♪ Down in Arkansas ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ I have burning down the family in Arkansas ♪ ♪ ♪ I have burning down the family in Arkansas ♪ ♪ ♪ It is Mr. Friday Tech ♪ ♪ And won't you see this old cabin over ♪ ♪ ♪ I spend my money ♪ ♪ Looking to be happy someday ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ And my money looking to be happy someday ♪ ♪ ♪ I'm out burning down ♪ ♪ I ain't got no safety ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ That body sector tell me me no room ♪ ♪ ♪ That body sector be tell me me no room ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ [MUSIC] [MUSIC] She got lied like a camera, got to do it's true.

And I'm hoping to catch him live later this month, early next month. I can't remember when now in a double bill with mud-scope field. If I can make that, that should be fantastic.
