At 69 hours of the finest blues you’ve never heard, it sounds like a marathon. That’s 2.875 continuous days of the blues. Or a work-week and a three-quarters. Or, about the number of hours it would take to drive straight through from New York to Los Angeles and back to Chicago, averaging 69 mph. Larry McCray, Kenny Neal and Billy Branch, Tony Deziel, Luther Allison, and Rod Piazza are just some of the 13 artists in this edition. As promised, I’ll also announce the winner of the Chris Juergensen CD. There’s another Roadhouse Rewound segment and, in general, just a little club full of fun. So, crank up the headphones, crack open a brew and chair-dance to your heart’s content – we’re top down and rolling.

[I smoked the old Ubuntu installed 40 GB hard drive while putting together this week’s show. Fortunately, all the show segments were stored on another drive. But, I had to buy a new drive and reinstall the OS in order to access the files and finish the show. It’s nearly midnight, so the complete show notes will follow on Sunday.]
