This hour of The Roadhouse is about an immutable fact of life – that most of us have to work for food and shelter. It’s a fertile theme in the blues and a great seed for this edition. Vanja Sky, Son Seals, Howlin’ Wolf, Otis Rush, and Ruthie Foster take us through an hour of working blues. It’s another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard – the 829th Roadhouse.
