Dead links, new links, comments, tracklisting and requests

If a link is dead just let me know thru the Chatbox and I'll get around to re-posting it for you.
As you can see I rarely post a track listing and that's because I'm a lazy bastard. I do scan the front and back covers and post them together with the tracks so I'm not that lazy ... but I'm still a bastard if you ask around. But you can always Google the LP for the track listing if you want it before downloading.
I always appreciate a comment or request and I'll do my best to help out.

99% of the LP postings on Sharebee have been replaced with Mediafire links. If you want a CD/LP with a dead Sharebee link please request it otherwise it won't be re-posted.

Big John Wrencher - Maxwell Street Alley Blues

While most blues albums bear romantic-sounding titles like the one used here, this is the real deal. Wrencher's one-armed amplified harp playing is perfectly supported by the lone guitar of Little Buddy Scott and the bar-bones basic drumming of Playboy Vinson. Listing titles is superfluous, since the feel and the ambience is the important thing. But blues albums seldom capture that elusive quality the way it is here, and that's the secret of its charm. Superlative in every regard, this is a great album by a very under-recorded artist. - Cub Koda

Cheers

This was ripped from a cd that has been released on various labels but has been dleted for years now. With a bit of luck you might find something on ebay or 2ndhand at Amazon.
