The 1962 album I Don’t Worry About A Thing by American pianist, vocalist and composer Mose Allison is perhaps his greatest recording. In a little over 33 minutes, he packs in five instrumentals, two standards and some great original versions. Superb musician.

The 3rd Cream album Wheels of Fire was released 50 years ago today! The LP became the world’s first platinum-selling double album. One disc was recorded in the studio, the other live. Rolling Stone described the album “the most representative slice of the Cream legacy.” Love White Room.

I fancied some Aussie Rock today! The 1987 Jimmy Barnes album Freight Train Heart is one of his best! Love the intro to Driving Wheels.
