The hour ahead is a steady-rollin’ escape hatch, with a groove that starts at the beginning and runs to the end. Sonny Landreth, Jim Gustin & Truth Jones, Thorbjørn Risager & the Black Tornado, Vanja Sky, and Jack Mack & The Heart Attack are all just in sight, and they’ll make all things right with another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard – the 787th Roadhouse.
This hour of The Roadhouse is filled with sixteen great artists who, I’m sure, are more than glad to help you step away from the world. John Primer & Bob Coritore, King Solomon Hicks, Ruthie Foster Big Band, The Jimmys, and The Holmes Brothers provide a little shelter from the storm. They also help provide another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard – the 786th Roadhouse.
This hour of The Roadhouse provides a way to prove the theory that blues fans are a defiant bunch. Through the best and the worst of times, we perservere. And, with a tough time upon us, the best way to do that is to step away and absorb yourself in great blues. The presence of Kenny “Blues Boss” Wayne, Lucky Peterson, Benny Turner, Mannish Boys, and Chris James & Patrick Rynn tell you that this is gonna be a special hour. There’s nothing out there that we can’t forget about for an hour – an hour of the finest blues, period, case closed, done.
There’s a lot of fun in the hour ahead. that includes new music, at least one Roadhouse debut, and a logical musical progression from one track into the next. Roomful of Blues, Phantom Blues Band, North Mississippi Allstars, Liz Mandeville, and Jack Mack & The Heart Attack are just waiting out there to surprise you. But there’s definitely one thing about the hour that’s honestly no surprise – it’s another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard.
We should probably just call this hour of The Roadhouse “The Debut Hour.” I’ve got seven Roadhouse debuts – fully half the hour – this week. The Headcutters, Richard Ray Farrell, Ryan Perry, Mick Hayes, and One Dime Band are all ahead. If seven debuts doesn’t make it true, I’m not sure there’s anything that would make it more of another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard.
I’ve got 16 great blues tracks queued up in the next hour of The Roadhouse. Those include a couple of classic artists, a bunch of new artists, and, generally, the variety of blues you’ve come to expect. Jeremiah Johnson, Mary Jo Curry Band, Tinsley Ellis, The Jimmys, and Lazy Lester. Can we just talk about consistentcy? Consistent with everything you know about our weekly endeavour – the hour ahead is another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard.
On the 15th anniversary of The Roadhouse, I’ve got a show so hot you might want to hydrate before listening. Rosie Flores, Shelley King, Altered Five Blues Band, The Cash Box Kings, and Thornetta Davis make for the most consistently upbeat show of the year. The hour ahead is top-notch, top-shelf, top-speed, and a celebration for the finest blues you’ve never heard – the 781st Roadhouse.
