Flaco Jimenez RIP
I am not familiar with Jimenez’s recordings but he did a great job on records by Ry Cooder and Dwight Yoakam.

Memphis Minnie was one of the great blues artists. I learned about her through CD reissues in the 1990s that were released after the Robert Johnson box set sold well.

The Monterey International Pop Festival was held on June 16-18, 1967. The Criterion Collection has done a great job with their Blu-ray release of the film about it, Monterey Pop.

“You Know My Name (Look Up the Number)” is a strange song with an equally strange history. The sax solo is by Brian Jones who was dead by the time it was released. It sounds like the Bonzo Dog Band or Monty Python, not like the serious “Let It Be” on the other side of the single.
