Rainy Bluesy Monday

Here in Anchorage winter's moving in.  Yesterday the wind howled and rattled the trees and it rained most of the day.  In keeping with the mood I'm serving up some blues 'cause I like them.  My friend Shal, who sang with a band called Java, is my blues mama; she recommends artists and sends me links to their music.

Here are five for Monday, plus an irresistible cut from the movie "Blues Brothers":

Bernard Allison - "Chills and Thrills" (2008):
