I’ve got an hour ahead with a special focus on a couple of great blues collectiona – one from Alligator, one from Vanguard. If you throw in the three Roadhouse debuts in the hour, it starts to feel pretty chock full. AJ Fullerton, B.B. King, The Black Keys, Jim Quick and Coastline, and Davell Crawford are front and center in this edition with nine other great blues artists to help deliver another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard.
In the next hour of The Roadhouse, I’ve got the usual variety of styles, but all the tracks are pretty upbeat. And, i slide in three Roadhouse debuts in this hour, as well. Mark Cameron, Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, Adam Schultz, Rodd Bland and the Members Only Band, and Bobby Rush take you through another hour of upbeat blues. Oh yeah. It’s also an hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard.
It’s been a goal of The Roadhouse from the very beginning to keep it uptempo. It’s a goal that’s accomplished in this hour, along with the longtime goal of introducing you to artists you might not hear anywhere else. New Moon Jelly Roll Freedom Rockers, Wilburt Lee Reliford, Yola, Pokey LaFarge, and Big Daddy Wilson just go to show that you’re right at the front edge of another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard.
The US Independence Day holiday brings a Roadhouse Rewind. I’ll be back next week with a new edition.
The 500th Roadhouse is a celebration. It’s filled with music from artists who have come into their own in the past nine years – artists I was unfamiliar with before starting the show. Big Hammer, Jarekus Singleton, Boo Boo Davis, Carlos Del Junco, and Sean Costello help us celebrate a milestone edition: 500 shows of the finest blues you’ve never heard.
I might just have a record number of debuts in the next hour of The Roadhouse, with six artist in the show for the first time. I’ve got Brigitte Demeyer, Alabama Slim, Big Creek Slim, Otis Kane, and Clarence Spady along with ten other great blues artists. I like to think it’s the freshest sound of blues you’ll hear this week, and I know it’s another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard.
Not to overstate the case, but I think you’ll enjoy this hour of The Roadhouse. A.J. Croce, Steve Cropper, Deb Ryder, The Freaky Buds, and Etta James fill out the hour. With a big variety of tempos, three artists making their Roadhouse debuts, and a mix of famous names and artists not necessarily known for blues, there’s no doubt you’ll find it to be another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard.
It’s a real good time in the next hour of The Roadhouse. I’ve got three artists who are new to The Roadhouse, a couple more tracks from the Alligator 50th anniversary collection, and some folks who make fairly regular appearances in the show. GA-20, Jamiah Rogers, Tom Feldmann & Noah Levy, William Clarke, and Johnny Nicholas all take the little bandstand in the corner. All in all, I’ve got 15 great tracks. And, I’m sure you’ll agree that it’s 15 great tracks to fill another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard.
