The Little Blue House on the Wetlands moves officially into spring this week, and the music in this edition reflects the volatility of spring in the Midwestern US. Johnny Nicholas & Walter Horton, Cold Blue Steel, Michael Burks, Johnny Winter, Odetta are the featured artists. We’re in little clubs, big studios, acoustic, electric, male, female. The perfect selection of music to match the wild moods of spring. Seasons may change, but the 162nd Roadhouse is another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard.

Note: In the show, I mis-credited “Every Day I Have The Blues” to Johnny Nicholas and Little Walter. In fact, it should be Walter Horton (too many Walter harp players!). And, though Walter Horton appears on the album, he doesn’t appear in that cut. The confusion on my part can be credited to spring giddiness!
