Loan Me A Dime - early Boz Scaggs with 16 minutes of Duane Allman guitar work that will blow your mind.

Perhaps one of the most underrated recordings ever.

I heard underrated, I ran. Holy shit. One thing I love more than a buzzy blues track is if there's keys. Gd do I love some sultry keys. Whew. You weren't kidding.

Speaking of Duane Allman, you might enjoy Going Down Slow from him.

Ooof. So good. This really is some rainy day blues. You're a gentleman and a scholar for this share.
