It’s another sunny summer edition of The Roahdouse and another pretty bright hour of blues. Anthony Geraci, The Marcus King Band, Jose Ramirez, Lucinda Williams, and the Mark May Band make for an hour that’s right out at the edge of the blues. But it’s a cool sharp edge that should have you moving for the full 60 minutes. And, as always, it’s absolutely another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard – the 800th Roadhouse.
It’s a good time to step out of the heat and into the cool of the blues in The Roadhouse. Andrew Alli, Songhoy Blues, Shirley King, Walter Trout, and Tami Neilson are all ahead in the hour. It’s 85 in the shade, and 60 in The Roadhouse with another hour of the finest – and coolest – blues you’ve never heard.
In the next edition of The Roadhouse, we get our Windy City on with an hour of Chicago blues. The Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Koko Taylor, Eddie Boyd and His Boogie Band, Luther Allison, and Freddie King headline the hour, but any one of the 14 artists could stand up and grab your attention. It’s not blues you’ve never heard, but it is another hour of the finest blues – the 798th Roadhouse.
The next hour of The Roadhouse leaves you with a feeling of pragmatic optimisim; like things will be okay, even if the reality right now is a little tough. Ryan Perry, Ana Popovic, Eddie 9V, Roland Johnson, and Frank Bey – a little hope, a little truth and, as only the blues can do – a lot of reality. I’m feeling really good about the way this could turn out, and about the next hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard – the 797th Roadhouse.
In this hour of The Roadhouse I’ve got four tracks that feature guest artists and three Roadhouse debuts. I’ve also got Jose Ramirez, Larkin Poe, David Grissom, The Reverend Shawn Amos, and Janiva Magness. It’s a bit of a grind for all of us these days, but let me try to smooth that path for you with another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard – the 796th Roadhouse.
In the next hour of The Roadhouse, the bandstand’s ready to go, there’s fresh sawdust on the floor and, if you look around, I think you’re in some pretty good company. There’s also some great blues on the bill, including Andrew Alli, Rob Tognoni, Seasick Steve, Peter Karp, and John “Papa” Gros. It’s a solidly upbeat hour, including three Roadhouse debuts. And it all makes for another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard – the 795th Roadhouse.
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.
