This edition of The Roadhouse Podcast is like a solid wooden floor: every tongue fits perfectly into the groove next to it, and it all provides a solid foundation to keep your weekly blues jones satisfied. Quite a few artists who provided the solid foundation for blues into the 21st century participate this week, including Hubert Sumlin, Dave MacKenzie, Luther Allison, Mavis Staples, and The Paul Butterfield Blues Band. While you’ve heard of the artists, you might not have heard the cuts included in this week’s show. And, since I’ve always said this is your show, we’ll roll through a fully listener-requested Roadhouse Rewound segment and share a great audio comment from a fellow listener and podcaster. It’s the 77th Roadhouse Podcast – the finest blues you’ve never heard.
