The finest blues you've never heard.
I’ve got a bunch of new music in this hour. 15 tracks, 11 of which are brand new. This is about as fresh an hour of blues as you’re going to find anywhere. JW-Jones, Kirsten Thien, Curtis Salgado, Bernie Barlow, and Dave Fields set the stage, with ten other great artists helping to fill things out. It’s really just the epitome of what we’ve been doing for more than 15 years: laying out another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard – the 808th Roadhouse.
The next hour of The Roadhouse goes straight to upbeat, without much of a break until last call. I’ve got Shirley King, Anson Funderburgh & The Rockets, Paul Rishell & Annie Raines, Johnny Iguana, and Boo Boo Davis. I’ve also got a set of regional blues, and a set of live blues-harp-focused tracks. The ultimate fact about this edition – that it is, indeed, another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard – the 807th Roadhouse.
In the next edition of The Roadhouse, nearly one-third of the hour is filled with Roadhouse debuts. Ron Thompson, Mojo Buford, Bo Ramsey, Kat Riggins, and Jimmy Maddox are all in the hour. New friends, old friends – both performers and listeners – all roll together into another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard – the 806th Roadhouse.
The next hour of The Roadhouse provides all blues lovers with a touchstone of sanity that will leave you revitalized. Joe Louis Walker, Mark May Band, Mary Lane, Mike Flanigin, and Buddy Guy help provide the elixir of the blues, and roll us all through another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard – the 805th Roadhouse.
A Roadhouse Rewind fills the hour this week. I’ll be back next week with a new edition.
Wire and wood fills this edition of The Roadhouse with guitar masters from many spots on the blues spectrum. Albert Cummings, Ronnie Earl & The Broadcasters, Canned Heat, Otis Rush, Sonny Landreth – they all bring a guitar to the table in The Roadhouse. With all these guitar greats, it’s a clear-cut case of the finest blues you’ve never heard – the 544th Roadhouse.
In the next hour of The Roadhouse, the tracks all stick together. Rather than focusing on the age of the music, I pulled it together just by feel. Billy Branch & The Sons of Blues, Jontavious Willis, Too Slim and the Taildraggers, Mississippi Heat, and The Fabulous Thunderbirds make for an hour that makes musical sense. And, for all of that, it really may still be another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard – the 803rd Roadhouse.
If you’ve stepped through the front door of our little dive, you’re sure to find plenty to like in the hour ahead. Jordan Officer, Walter Trout, The Lucky Losers, The Swing Ninjas, and Los Coast will light up the bandstand. As we put another hour behind us, you know it’ll be an hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard – the 802nd Roadhouse.
