I do love it when we get to introduce new labels to The Roadhouse family. This is one of those weeks, with the addition of Arhoolie and Fuel 2000. Both have great traditional and acoustic blues catalogs, and the 128th edition of The Roadhouse Podcast follows that trail. The tough tradition of the blues is showcased with Earl Hooker, Mance Lipscomb, Chris Bell, Etta James and Reverend Gary Davis. They were and visionaries, as are the newest labels to The Roadhouse family. It’s a tough tradition, but one that’s maintained and honored in the 128th Roadhouse Podcast.
