Janiva Magness’s 17th album Back For Me is a treasure chest of lesser-known gems by well-known artists (Bill Withers, Ray LaMontagne, Allen Toussaint, Doyle Bramhall II, Tracy Nelson) produced by her longtime collaborator Dave Darling.

This is NOT a two-star album by any means. And “The Bluest Blues” is a great system demo track.

One of the most evocative pieces of the entire Delta Blues idiom from its most singular stylist. Skip James, “Devil Got My Woman” from Blues From the Delta — a collection of his 60s recordings made for Vanguard Records. Excellent sound and performances.
Blues at Newport on Vanguard and now available on Qobuz in the US. A nice Various Artists collection of live acoustic blues recorded at Newport. Fine sound and stellar performances.

Thanks Jamie, added to my library. Blues at Newport is thankfully also available on Tidal.
