Snooks Eaglin "Out of Nowhere" (1988)

Another fantastic contemporary blues album from Eaglin.  Why did his run of albums in the 80s not get any widespread critical response?  Was it because he was on an independent label?  Was it the fact that he wasn't following in the popular Stevie Ray Vaughn path?

Snooks Eaglin "Baby, You CanGet Your Gun!" (1987)

The remarkable thing about this album is its diversity.  Eaglin was called a "human jukebox", & a quick sampling of just this album shows why.  You have everything from straight ahead blues cuts to latin tinged instrumentals to funk.  While a pale imitation to his live shows, "Baby, You Can Get Your Gun!" is still a worthwhile listen.
