After a 60-hour work week, it’s great to be back in The Roadhouse Studios. Though life can be a tough road, The Roadhouse offers a bit of shelter from the world and a way to relax after your own trying week. I did manage to bring a bit of that tough edge into the show, though. Hard urban blues by folks like Pete Cornelius, Roy Buchanan and Walter Trout are counterbalanced by Watermelon Slim and Archie Edwards. A listener comment, another Roadhouse Rewound and a little useful information round out the 74th Roadhouse Podcast – another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard.
