Starters for Ten 2019 – #334: Top Ten Blues numbers: 191130
Alexis Korner – Stormy Monday Blues (1978)
Throughout 2019 Jem of Jemtunes is taking you through 36 top tens and one top five. Tunes for a whole gamut of reasons including genre, mood, time of year or simply time itself. Sometimes there’s be words but mostly it’ll simply be the music. Because music always speaks for itself.
Continuing my 34th – my top ten blues numbers – here’s Stormy Monday Blues from ‘The Party Album’, a 1978 live blues recording by Alexis Korner. The double album features Alexis Korner and various guest musicians singing a mix of both classic blues songs as well as some of Korner’s own. The concert was a celebration of Korner’s 50th birthday.
