The 78th edition of The Roadhouse Podcast provides a little shelter from the storm – the storm of a tough old world that seemed to get even tougher and colder in the past week. Though The Roadhouse might be a little rundown shack at the end of the street, the roof doesn’t leak and the wind doesn’t race through the windows. That’s because it’s built on a foundation of great blues, including Ronnie Baker Brooks, Son Seals, Ian Siegel, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and Stephen Dale Petit. We re-glaze the windows this week, too, with another Roadhouse Rewound segment, and introduce yet another new member of The Roadhouse family of permissions-based blues labels. Come on inside and escape the world for another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard.
