The Roadhouse 049

The Roadhouse 049 is more fun with ones and zeroes than humans should be allowed. Dan Treanor, Mem Shannon, Hubert Sumlin, Roomful of Blues, and The Holmes Brothers trace the clear blue line from the early 20th century to the early 21st. If W.C. Handy and Robert Johnson were here right now, they’d be wearing earbuds. The 49th Roadhouse podcast is another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard.


The Roadhouse stores at CafePress and Zazzle pay the bills by providing you with lots of fun and useful Roadhouse items. The stores feature t-shirts, sweatshirts, coffee mugs, and caps. Visit today and proudly display your impeccable blues tastes.

    Hi Tony,

    It’s Phil (from work). I’m in New Hampshire & Massachusetts working for a couple of weeks, but I didn’t want to miss my weekly ‘fix’ of great blues… so I just downloaded #49. Keep up the great show!

    hey Tony,
    you ever had that feeling that a “dj”is talking to you and only you ??
    I laughed out loud when I heard your comment on what WC Handy and Robert Johnson would think of blues on mp3 on show 49 – I was listening to it on Friday night, about 7:30 Queensland time, halfway between Brisbane and Sydney on a brand new Boeing that was about 3 weeks into service with QANTAS.

    Makes your whole point doesn’t it ? Keep up the good work

    PS thanks for the Dave Hole cuts. He gets zero airplay over here. Sort of encapsulates the issue we have with modern radio, doesn’t it ?
