The finest blues you've never heard.
The next hour of The Roadhouse is an hour full of new blues including a set of next generation blues. I have three Roadhouse debuts. And, some old favorites come back around after a bit of an absence. Watermelon Slim, Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, Gary Clark, Jr., Tedeschi Trucks Band, Bloodest Saxophone lead the hour. New blues, the next generation and some old friends – it sounds to me like another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard – the 730th Roadhouse.
We’re 14 years deep in The Roadhouse and this edition celebrates that anniversary. It’s an hour of show-openers from the previous year, including Big Joe Shelton, Johnny Sansone, Tom Hambridge, Colin James, and Teresa James & The Rhythm Tramps. 9500 tracks, 33000 minutes of music, 3800 artists, 14 years, 728 hours that all come down to this – yet another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard – the 14th anniversary Roadhouse.
In this hour of The Roadhouse, we go truly old-school in one of the middle sets. And, I’ve got an interesting blues-converted cover track, as well. With Doug Deming & The Jewel Tones, The Reverend Shawn Amos, Dom Flemons, Joanne Shaw Taylor, David Julia, we mark the final hour of our 14th year. It’s definitely another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard – the 728th Roadhouse.
Half the tracks in the 727th Roadhouse are from the first six weeks of 2019. Most of the remainder are from 2018, with just a couple of older tracks. I’ve got Joe Bonamassa, Cash Box Kings, Tony Holiday, Bloodest Saxophone, and Hollywood Blue Flames. If you’re looking for the latest blues tracks, you can stop right here. And, because it’s all so new, it’s almost always a safe bet to call each week another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard.
We’re cruising through the final few shows of another year in The Roadhouse. And, we’re doing it with the variety you’ve come to love from each and every show. Tommy Castro, Byther Smith, Shemekia Copeland, Ben Poole, and Rosie Flores lead the next hour. We may be winding down year 14, but we’re definitely winding up for another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard – the 726th Roadhouse.
I’ve got another hour of great new blues from some artists you’ve heard of, and some you may not. And, as always, it’s a variety of styles – just to showcase the broad range and broader appeal of the blues. There’s Billy Price, Kevin Burt, Maria Muldaur, Little G Weevil, and Joanne Shaw Taylor, along with ten other artists and tracks that will certainly help to confirm your love of blues. I think I might have said this once or twice – you’re right on the front edge of another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard – the 725th Roadhouse.
If you ever wanted to test the tagline of the show, this is the hour. Watermelon Slim, Ryan McGarvey, Whitehorse, Gaye Adegbalola, and Mama’s Juke Joint are among the artists. And, with eight artist debuts – the most of any edition – it’s definitely another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard, the 724th Roadhouse.
