This is the show the doctor ordered, providing your minimum weekly requirement of golden guitars, hip horns and happenin’ harp. Byther Smith, The Mitchell Blues Band, Tab Benoit, Glamour Puss, and Johnny Nicholas step out from the pack this week. But, don’t fool yourself – any of the other seven artists are fully capable of stealing the show. Throw in listener comments and a snappy Roadhouse Rewound segment, and you’ve got one full hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard.

Note: Over the past week, I realized how iTunes-centric the show notes have become. In order to spread this great music across the widest swath possible, I’ve added Amazon links (where possible) for the music in the show. If you’re not an iTunes user, you’ll be able to download the music from Amazon.
