This hour of The Roadhouse features mostly upbeat blues. I also have a lot of outstanding guitar and a couple of songs with strong messages. Fred Chapellier & The Gents feat Dale Blade, Bruce Katz Band, Tom Hambridge, John Clifton, Big George Jackson take the lead. For all the variety, the important thing to remember is consistency. The 707th Roadhouse is consistently another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard.
It’s another hour in The Roadhouse. Along with a big bunch of contemporary artists, I’ve got a 4-track set of more traditional post-war blues, and a closing set that’s three-quarters female. Most importantly, though, this is yet another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard – the 706th Roadhouse.
We’re past Labor Day in the US and into unofficial fall – into the last third of 2018. And, once again, the vast majority of the music in this hour is from 2018. Trudy Lynn, Corey Dennison & Gerry Hundt, Bettye LaVette, Anthony Geraci, and The Nick Moss Band featuring Dennis Gruenling move us just a bit closer to the end of the calendar year. The weather’s starting to change, but it never changes that you’re in for another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard – the 705th Roadhouse.
Elvin Bishop’s Big Fun Trio, Howlin’ Wolf, Aki Kumar, Mark Wenner’s Blues Warriors, and Rod Piazza get the featured slots in this hour of The Roadhouse. Most of the music is from Chicago or the West Coast, there’s quite a bit of harp, and even a few more instrumentals than usual. It all adds up, though, to a variety of blues that will have you nodding your head in agreement that it’s another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard – the 704th Roadhouse.
A puzzle – that’s the spirit of the hour in The Roadhouse. And all the pieces fit together just fine. Bob Corritore, Danielle Nicole, Eric Lindell, Luke Winslow-King, and the Bruce Katz Band mesh in a way that makes perfect sense in the framework of an hour. I can say with confidence that it’s another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard – the 703rd Roadhouse.
Aretha Franklin gets the show-opener this week with a track that’s mighty close to blues. As for the rest of the hour – it’s filled with brand new music that will have you admiring the state of blues today. Aki Kumar, Alastair Greene, Cedric Burnside, Nakia, and Eugene Hideaway Bridges get the featured slots along with two Roadhouse debuts. You won’t be disappointed if you’re here for another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard – the 702nd Roadhouse.
This hour might just define “blues crazy.” Cash Box Kings, Mike Zito, Elvin Bishop, Carey Bell, and The 44s help to lay down a groove like few we’ve had in the 700 hours before. I could paint it a whole bunch of different ways, but it comes down to this – this hour is fun. And, because it’s another hour of The Roadhouse, you know it’s another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard.
