It is always a treat when  Doc MacLean plays the blues in Lethbridge. His return to the Lethbridge Folk Club on Saturday, Nov. 10 at the Lethbridge College Cave was no exception as approximately 50 people admired his work.

This time is was the pride of South Africa, Albert Frost, who was in the middle of a hot solo set, while MacLean took a seat at the back of the room to watch.


 Frost   played some exotic acoustic guitar, looped a lick of it and switched to electric mid song, produced a violin bow and did his best Jimmy Page imDoc MacLean and Albert Frost plays for the Lethbridge Folk Club, Nov. 10 at the Lethbridge College Cave. photo by Richard Amerypression over the repeating riff.


 MacLean returned , donned his National steel and played a “spiritual song“ while Frost added a subtle solo.


 Frost played another song, with MacLean accompanying him.


  I was in time for  two of my Doc MacLean favourites as MacLean howled out “Angola Prison Rodeo.”


They were called back for an encore of “Jelly Roll Blues.”
 Maclean wandered into the audience for the last couple notes and the duo bowed good bye.
