It’s an interesting hour in The Roadhouse, with a set of Chicago blues, a set from Southern Asia, and a mix you won’t find anywhere else. Willie Dixon & Memphis Slim, Harry Manx, Jackie Venson, Larkin Poe, and Mojo Morganfield take the bandstand in the hour. It’s exactly what we do – grab a big pile of blues, stir it all together and serve it up as another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard.
The next hour of The Roadhouse has a distinctively British flavor. Savoy Brown, Long John Baldry, and John Mayall are among the five British artists in the hour, along with music from Koko Taylor and Eric Bibb. The international flavor makes it especially easy to enjoy another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard – the 819th Roadhouse.
If there’s one reason to keep hanging around The Roadhouse, it’s for the variety of blues you get in every hour. In the next edition, I’ve got John Nemeth, Vanessa Collier, GA-20, Bette Smith, and Kevin Burt, among many others. That’s a range of blues you might not find anywhere else. But, I think, you’re gonna find some tracks to love in another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard.
The next hour of The Roadhouse will be well worth your while with some ragtime-like blues, some very contemporary blues, and a long set of blues rock. Kim Wilson, Jack De Kyzer, Erin Harpe, Nora Jean Wallace, and Shemkia Copeland fit the pieces together pretty well, I think, to come up with another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard.
The next hour of The Roadhouse is a reminder of how our dark little dive should feel – a little rough and raw, and dangerous in the dark corners. But, Golden State Lone Star Blues Revue, Big Pete, Colin James, Andy T – Nick Nixon Band, and Celso Salim also help make the case that a dive’s a good place to be. And, they help build another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard.
The next hour of The Roadhouse is just a run-of-the-mill hour – filled with great blues tracks, some that will have you chair-dancing to escape from the world at large. Sonny Green, Cody Simpson, Andrew Alli, Ron Thompson, and Nora Jean Wallace help guide that activity and sail us straight through another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard.
In the next hour of The Roadhouse, we prove that the blues is everywhere. With music from Bob Margolin, Matt Andersen, Shemekia Copeland, Eric Johanson, and Susan Tedeschi, we’re going to cover a lot of territory – a rich geography of blues and a diverse range of styles. It’s absolutely another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard – the 814th Roadhouse.
