In the next hour of The Roadhouse, we prove that the blues is everywhere. With music from Bob Margolin, Matt Andersen, Shemekia Copeland, Eric Johanson, and Susan Tedeschi, we’re going to cover a lot of territory – a rich geography of blues and a diverse range of styles. It’s absolutely another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard – the 814th Roadhouse.
I have no words for this hour – literally. It’s an hour of instrumental blues featuring Kirk Fletcher, John Mayall, Magic Sam, Freddie King, Little Sonny, and nine other great artists. It’s 16 of my favorite instrumental blues tracks to make up another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard – the 813th Roadhouse.
As happens occasionally, the next hour of The Roadhouse focuses on the feeling. Monster Mike Welch and Mike Ledbetter, Magic Slim & The Teardrops, Jai Malano, Lynwood Slim & Kid Ramos, and The Juke Joint Rockers & Willie “Big Eyes” Smith made the final cut along with a load of other great blues artists. Sometimes it’s worthwhile to just follow that feeling – the feeling that this will be another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard – the 812th Roadhouse.
It’s another upbeat hour in The Roadhouse, with some great tracks from Lloyd Jones, Sugar Ray and the Bluetones, Lucas Spinosa, Fathead, and The Chris O’Leary Band. If history is any guide, this is one of those hours that will pass very, very quickly. It’s an uptempo hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard – the 811th Roadhouse.
With fall just around the corner, the new blues releases are coming fast and heavy. This week, I’ve got Ronnie Earl, Selwyn Birchwood, The Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band, Anthony Gomes, and the New Moon Jelly Roll Freedom Rockers. Every last one of those artists features brand new music. It’s definitely the season for another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard – the 810th Roadhouse.
If ever there was an edition of The Roadhouse that’s packed to the rafters, this is the one. I’ve got 17 tracks, including Josh Teskey & Ash Grunwald, Bettye LaVette, Lucinda Williams, Fantastic Negrito, and Soulmate are all ahead. As if that wasn’t enough, there’s also an all-female set in the hour. It’s definitely the biggest hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard – the 809th Roadhouse.
