The 154th Roadhouse investigates the mystery of a number pair: 6 and 3. It lies at the heart of the blues, but it’s simplicity is deceptive. Son Seals, Johnny Winter, Robert Cray, Robert Johnson, Michael Bloomfield – all have mastered the essence of the blues that lies in these numbers: 6 strings and 3 chords. It’s a mystical blues guitar edition of The Roadhouse, another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard.

The outstanding Searching For Robert Johnson by Peter Guralnick, as mentioned in this week’s edition.
