This is a true gem for all those of you who just love some good old blues songs, wonderfully played by Chuck with Paul Jones accompanying him on harmonica...go and check out his latest album (which also features Keith on two tracks).
Unfortunately I could only track down an mp3 version of this program - so if there's someone out there who's got these songs in lossless quality, please upload them or send me an email - I'd really appreciate it...
Best wishes

Chuck Leavell in session
Duration: 57 minutes
First broadcast: Monday 22 July 2013
A special show this week, a special featuring the amazing piano of guest Chuck Leavell, . A member of the Allman Brothers Band during their most commercially successful period, Chuck played the classic piano part on Jessica - now better known as the Top Gear theme music - and for over thirty years has played with the Rolling Stones.
His new album - Out Of The Woods - sees him covering the greats of blues piano, & tonight he'll be talking us through his career and playing songs originally associated with Ray Charles, Little Brother Montgomery, Leroy Carr & Jesse james.
In addition he'll be playing an Allman Brothers favourite - Statesboro' Blues - and Eric Clapton's version of Alberta, as heard on the famous Unplugged album.
Chuck will also be de-constructing that Jessica solo for us, and explaining why the Rolling Stones don't like to rehearse too much as well as expounding on his role as one of the US's leading voices in sustainable forestry.
That shouldn't be too much of a surprise - after all, as Chuck points out himself, you make pianos from wood...
