At the time of writing, it's the last day of my summer holiday and the sun has abandoned me. Squally showers, cooling wind and a return to work in the morning. Enough to make anyone feel slightly melancholy. The blues though have always had the reverse effect on me. So here are three crackers I've picked from some of my favourite pick-me-up tracks.
Starting off with Love Sculpture's 'Blues Helping' from 1968. Formed in 1966, the split in 1970 launched frontman Dave Edmunds' solo career.
Next we have probably one of my all-time favourite tracks - Hot Tuna's cover of the classic 'Hesitation Blues' from their self-titled 1970 album. There've been many versions since, but this is their best.
And last, but by no means least, Mountain's 'Last of the sunshine days' from their 1974 album 'Avalange'. Enjoy.
