Herbie Mann going over the top…. The dude just loved showing off his hairy chest. Aside from having Duane Allman on this LP (which makes it epic) it’s the only inner sleeve I know of that has genuine r-rated 70s fuzzy velvet poster style art…

@markmetz A few years ago, I bought a lot of about 400 autographed albums that had about 20 Herbie Mann’s in it. He always signed them on the back. @vinylrecords

Wrapping it up tonight with the great Willie Dixon … he produced and collaborated with Koko Taylor, and wrote so many of the classics.
Thanks for listening, and if you didn’t hear it live, you can always check out the recording on my SoundCloud. It will turn up here on one of my daily mixes, and if you’re so inclined, don’t forget, I have a Patreon link on my profile. Hope you enjoyed the covers! Thanks for listening, thanks for your support, and thanks for keeping the music alive!
