It’s a safe and sane hour of The Roadhouse with tracks from all over the blues universe including Ben Rice & RB Stone, Ana Popovic, Linsey Alexander, Rory Block, and Jose Ramirez. A little electric, a little acoustic, a live set – regardless of the blues subgenre, the collected pieces really do make up another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard – the 794th Roadhouse.
After a week away, I’m back in The Roadhouse Studios with a groove you’ve come to expect. Mojo Buford, Jim Gustin & Truth Jones, David Grissom, Bettye LaVette, and The Mannish Boys propel the hour. It’s a broad and satisfying range of the finest blues you’ve never heard – the 793rd Roadhouse.
A Roadhouse Rewind occupies this hour. I’ll be back next week with a new edition of the show.
By the time it’s all said and done, this edition of The Roadhouse provides a record-tying number of tracks. Chris O’Leary Band, Bey Paule Band, Omar & The Howlers, Big Mama Thornton, and Fantastic Negrito lead the way, but that’s really only just the start. The rest of the hour fulfills the weekly mission – delivering another jam-packed hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard – the 550th Roadhouse.
It’s May in The Roadhouse – time for the annual Blues Music Awards. We’ll spend the next hour with 14 nominees across the various categories, including Watermelon Slim, Toronzo Cannon, Catfish Keith, Jontavious Willis, and Christone “Kingfish” Ingram – all names you’ve heard in the past year and maybe been introduced to right here. It’s an hour of peer-honored blues in this edition and, as always, another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard.
The next edition of The Roadhouse is yet another chunk of time to discover and pass along great new blues. King Solomon Hicks, Zakiya Hooker, Tyler Morris, Vanja Sky, and The Big House Blues Band move it along. I’ve got a couple of Roadhouse debuts, a pre-release track, or two, and an attitiude throughout the hour that will keep you moving. It’s yet another fun hour and, of course, another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard.
In the next edition of The Roadhouse, we’re spending another week focused on stepping away from the world. Lisa Mills, Rory Block, Canned Heat, Don Bryant, and The Sleep Eazys get to help transport us all through the hour, and assure that not only do we escape, but that it’s an escape into another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard.
In the next hour of The Roadhouse, I fill the joint with Roadhouse debuts and tracks from upcoming releases. Casey Hensley, Eliza Neals, Larkin Poe, Swamp, and Malia are all ahead. If you ever wanted an hour of fresh blues, this is the one. And, you know what else – it’s another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard – the 788th Roadhouse.
