black night
drifting from town to town
drifting blues
rocking in the same boat
stormy monday
blind man
too far gone to turn around
blues in the night
share you love with me

No Rob, what you really need to include is 'St James Infirmary', in my opinion Bland's best tune and also the best version of this timeless standard.

Ah well Penny, I would include that version of St James Infirmary if I had not heard the version with Jack Teagarden on vocals, backed by Louis Armstrong and His All Stars and recorded at New York Town Hall on May 17 1947.
This is the greatest version I have heard.
The sadness and world-weariness in Teagarden's voice and trombone is touching and thrilling at the same time.
When he gets to the lines describing and glorying in how he wants to be laid out when he dies, in a 'box back coat and a stetson hat' with a 20 dollar gold piece on his watch chain, and then goes into his solo...
Not as showy as Bland's version, but I think more effective.
I would be happy to send an mp3 so you can compare, if you were to provide an email address.
This track occurs on the CD Jack Teagarden - That's A Serious Thing, a great collection of Jack's work with various bands.

Hi Edward George
There is actually a Louis Armstrong And The Hot Five version, that I have - is that the one you mean?
Definitely Louis on vocals, and more upbeat in tempo and feel than the Teagarden version. I have no date or personnel for this.
Happy to share either version.

yes rob, now that you mention it, i've got the hot 5 one on that cheap but classy 4 pack cd sony put out a few years back, and somewhere i've got the town hall rec. with jack teagarden as well. thank you for the offer, though - very kind.
but jack teagarden: what a neat name that is!
in fact, i like it so much i'm going to make it the joint winner, along with frank ocean, of my personal 'name of the week' award.
'edward george'
nb - that 4 pack cd has muggles on it too: original ganja man tune!
