Let’s just call this the cool blues edition of The Roadhouse. It’s a little slower with a few less horns and a few more harps and acoustic guitars. Maybe it’s just my way of pulling in and slowing down a bit in the sweltering heat of June at the little blue house on the wetlands. In any case, it’s the perfect mix of blues to settle in with a cool drink and let the world roll by. This week, we invite in West of Memphis, Gianfranco Segatto, Chris Beard, Ryan Reardon and the Levee Breakers, and Cephas and Wiggins. With 70 shows in the rear-view mirror, we just continue rolling along with one hour after another of the finest blues you’ve never heard.
