The problems with running a specialised music blog are obvious. Once you have posted up all of the albums relating to the subject at hand (in this case hard to find albums by members of Fleetwood Mac) you really can't keep posting up new stuff. Many of the other music blogs around just post up albums (readily available or otherwise) of a variety of artists with no real link between them, and hence they never run out of material to post.
I've noticed while checking out the site counter stats that every time I update this blog I get a spike in the number of visitors. This tends to be because several site (for example http://www.prognotfrog.com/) list updated music blogs. No update = no listing.
Now I am sure that there are people who visit who download everything I post, regardless of whether they like it or not. However, quite obviously, this blog is aimed at the fans of Fleetwood Mac. Hopefully has provided in the past few months the ability for Fleetwood Mac fans around the world to listen to albums that otherwise would have remained unheard.
Well we are running out of hard to find albums as you might well imagine, and I have resorted to offering a few albums with very limited links to Fleetwood Mac members.
Tonight that is going to change, at least for a few days. For tonight I have the first De Luxe Blues Band album - Live At The Half Moon, Putney from 1981. I don't think this album ever made it to CD, and comes to us courtesy of my friend John who has provided so much to this blog.
Without John we just wouldn't have so many of the albums that I have posted. John is a very serious collector, far more serious than I will ever be, and has many of these albums on vinyl. So, on behalf of everyone who has downloaded an album that John has provided, I send him a very big thank you!
The De Luxe Blues Band, of course, was the band that was formed by Bob Brunning and his sidekick Bob Hall. Bob Brunning was the first bass player in Fleetwood Mac, and has had one of the more prolific solo careers since leaving Fleetwood Mac. The De Luxe Blues Band replaced his previous band The Brunning Sunflower Blues Band.
I shall post other De Luxe Blues Band albums on here in the next couple of weeks...
