[10 Dec 2011 | No Comment | 488 views]

Omar & The Howlers, Roomful of Blues, Savoy Brown, Oz Noy, and Tracy Nelson stand right out in this edition of The Roadhouse. Yet, they manage to leave plenty of room for a full stable of great blues tracks that fill another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard.

Big Pete, Cash Box Kings, The Sugar Prophets, Sista Monica Parker, and Big Walter Horton pave the way for an hour of blues that I think you’ll find to be a winner – and, of course, another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard.
