Just got the new Rolling Stones album, 'Blue & Lonesome' - it's brilliant. It's all Blues covers from back in the day and I can't stop playing it over and over again. It's the best thing they've done in decades. It would make a lovely Xmas present or just buy it for yourself. Also, Joanne Shaw Taylor's bluesey album, 'Wild' is worth getting; she has a touch of Joe Bonamassa about her - awesome guitar technique and a great voice. Some of you might have seen her on Jools Holland's show a couple of months ago. Let's have other suggestions ...

No, it's true! we've had enough and sending whats left, it'll be there soon.

Be careful what you ask for! SNOW BOMB: Wall of SNOW to SMASH UK as deadly blizzards hit in COLDEST freeze for 53 YEARS Of course the likelihood is it's Jeremy Corby's brother Piers at his crystal ball again, so we can all relax - probably! If that's not enough to invoke the spirit of the Christmas' past then how about train and postal strikes to add to the authenticity?

Hi Symptoms, now I like all sorts of musical genres, but keeping on the Bluesy theme side of things, my favourite BLUES albums of 2106 have been, (in no particular order) :- Tedeschi Trucks Band - Let me get by Joe Bonamassa - Blues of desperation Matt Anderson - Honest Man Jack Broadbent - Portrait Coiln James - Blue Highways Mike Zito - Make blues not war But if you like your blues with a British Rock feel have you listened to Frankie Millers Double Take. Worth reading up on Frankie Millers life and understand that he has been completely disabled for the past 20 years, but Rod Stewart asked if he had any old tapes lying around and they discovered loads of unrecorded stuff. So they asked several singers/musicians to choose a track and they then used modern technology in the studio to create duets with Frankie. The end result is very, very good and highlights what a great singer/songwriter he was and what a huge loss to music he has been since his health took such a sad turn for the worse. Now I must try and get a download of the Stones "Blue & Lonesome".

Brian, If they cannot find it I'll send them some, we have more than enough here, along with some cold weather, should be there in a couple of weeks. (-29c right now)
