This week in the Shack

I'm back from the Caribbean, although not with the big stack of playlists that I had hoped to create while on vacation. Somehow, white sand and turquiose water are just much more conducive to having another mojito than they are to having the blues.

A couple of friends of mine who live outside the state were complaining about missing Austin blues on Facebook yesterday, so here's a set of nothing but blues from the Lone Star State. As always, I hope you dig it.
