Cuby + Blizzards – Cuby + Blizzards Live (Recorded In Concert At The Rheinhalle Dusseldorf)
Universe Productions – 6830324 Reissue '79
Legendary Dutch blues group from the 1960's and the early 1970's which puts the village of Grolloo (Drenthe, Netherlands) firmly on the map. Harry 'Cuby' Muskee is often seen as the Dutch soul brother of the UK's main man John Mayall.

Empty Head
This just got here. It's a compilation of Magic Sam's 45's he recorded in his 20's. It's pure gold, collecting the vinyl would take forever and cost a fortune. There's a treasure trove of impossible to find blues available on CD compilations nowadays. This is fantastic, if you are a fan of R&B flavored blues and one of the best guitarists of the era.

Sweet Pain – England's Heavy Blues Super Session
Mercury – SR 6123 '69
This is an awesome record. Sweet Pain is actually more a banner for a 1969 UK "supergroup" session than an actual band. John Dummer Blues Band band mates John O'Leary and Keith Tillman organized the session that also included Dick Heckstall-Smith of a.o. The Graham Bond Organization, Aynsley Dunbar and Victor Brox of The Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation, Stuart Cowell later of Mungo Jerry plus Victor Brox's wife, husky voiced Annette Brox.
The musicians were either members of the John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers, Alexis Korners Blues Incorporated, or The Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation at the time of the session, and though it was hoped that Sweet Pain would tour conflicting band schedules made it impossible.

Hubert Sumlin - I Know You
If you are a blues fan, you know Howlin' Wolf. And if you know Wolf, you already know Hubert Sumlin. Over a span of almost 25 years together, Hubert and Wolf recorded a slew of acknowledged blues classics (in addition to knocking each other's teeth out!) That's Hubert's hair-raising guitar behind the original versions of Spoonful, Back Door Man, and Killing Floor. Along the way, Hubert became an acknowledged guitar hero too, among others, Jimi Hendrix, Keith Richards and Eric Clapton, who proclaimed Hubert's style as "just the weirdest."
Yet as influential as he was until his death in December 2011, Hubert Sumlin recorded relatively few solo albums during his lifetime. And when he did, he was often obscured by a mountain of production. On I Know You, surrounded by old friends such a fellow Wolf bandmate Sam Lay on drums and the great Carey Bell on harmonica, Hubert felt free to create in an intimate setting that captured the spirit of the great Chess recordings from the '50's. APO is proud to present Hubert Sumlin's I Know You. It's 100 percent pure unadultered wild and wooly Hubert!
