Living In Hues Of Blues (33)

 

Number 33 in the 'Year of Music' series is now named 'Living In Hues of Blues', and it's had a new cover made too.

The music in this drives the title and cover, with shades of blues music running throughout. It's a selection rather than a mix for this one, sharing a selection of music from my record shelves that I'd find hard to use in a more conventional mix.

 

As I always try and do, you'll find a linked up tracklist below. This time around I'll be relying mostly on Discogs links to the releases I own, but did around if you want something for yourself, you might find better deals on other versions of the same release, or via Ebay etc.

If you want to know more about these 'Year of Music' series of selections and mixes, there's an explanation [HERE]. If you prefer to use a Soundcloud player, then you'll find that [HERE], but that link may not always be active, given the cost of keeping these things running.
