The Roadhouse 213

14 March 2009 6,817 views 4 Comments

88 keys fill the 213th Roadhouse with true roadhouse blues. The tradition of piano in the blues stretches from the Delta to St. Louis, Chicago and beyond. We bring the beat-up old upright to center stage in this edition with Champion Jack Dupree, Big Maceo, Otis Spann, Speckled Red, and James Booker. The 213th Roadhouse lights up the blues by tickling the ivories for another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard.

    Since I started listening to The Roadhouse around issue 11, no. 213 is one of my favorite. I love the piano theme and every single cut in this issue.

    The cross section of piano blues from Cow, Cow Davenport to more contemporary selections, such as Rod and Honey Piazza and The Mighty Flyers is not only extremely enjoyable, but also very educational. It also brought back many memories of my younger days listening to piano blues records for days on end – I guess I had more time than.

    So, thanks again Tony. This was a great idea and a great Roadhouse show.

    Tony – I thoroughly agree with what Tom says above. Great set of tracks taking us right across the full spectrum and eras of the piano blues. You did overlook Mr B, who you introduced us to in early shows, but you can’t play them all. Not sure I could listen to too much in one sitting but mix them up in a playlist with some harp and some guitar and that gives the perfect mixture for my taste.

    Hey Tony.

    Quick note. Big fan for a long time. Trying to grab Roadhouse #213 and I’m downloading a zero K file in both my RSS reader (NetNewsWire) and in my browser (Safari) at roadhousepodcast.com.

    The URL I see on the website is:

    http://media.libsyn.com/media/roadhouse/roadhouse_213.mp3

    It looks like when you click on the download link it hands off to a CDN (content delivery network). Could there be an issue in the CDN? At the same time I failed to download #213 I was able to successfully download #214 and #215 with no issues.

    Keep it up bro. A belated congratulations on your 4th anniversay show.

    Bob:

    My guess is that there’s an issue at Libysn, the host for the regular version of the show. It’s possible that it’s an issue with that single file. I’ve sent their support group an email but, if it’s like other issues with Libsyn have been, it’ll be resolved before I hear from them. I’ll let you know …
