Cal Collins On My Mind...

Why not a twofer with Cal Collins? I will try to post at least one other LP of his as well, but for now let's settle for the two (along with my previous post of "San Francisco") that I digitized a couple of years ago including this wonderful work called "Blues On My Mind". This was the first album I ever even heard of by Cal, and once I heard it, I was a fan. He always sounds relaxed and sure with unique subtlety in his ideas. There's not much else needed to be said, every song here is a treat. Until this guitarist gets his just rewards to have his work put to CD, you'll just have to settle for this offering straight from the vinyl. Hope you don't mind....

Awesome! I used to go see him in Cincinnati in the late 70s and had all his albums. Unfortunately, none on CD that I've found.

thanks

This one has also been revived with a fresh link as of today. Sorry to say that this was one of my first rips from vinyl so it's only in 128 for now. I hope to redo it eventually...enjoy!
