The finest blues you've never heard.
With the holidays nearly behind us, it’s time to take a look back at some great releases from 2018. Vanja Sky, Trudy Lynn, Colin James, Lindsay Beaver, and Mike Zito lead the first of a two-show review of 2018 blues releases. It’s another hour of the finest blues … from this year – the 721st Roadhouse.
Deep into December 2018, we’re nearly past the holiday season. Still, I’ve got five more holiday tracks, along with Billy F. Gibbons, B.B. King, Maria Muldaur, Charley Crockett, and Johnny Rawls. We may be just about out of time for holiday blues, but we’re never out of time for another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard – the 720th Roadhouse.
As we roll through the holiday season, I’ve got five more Christmas blues tracks in this hour. I’ve also got a set of swing blues and one that can only be described as stark. Mighty Lester, Eddie “Cleanhead” Vinson, Will Barber, Derek Trucks & Susan Tedeschi, and Mississippi Heat make for another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard – the 719th Roadhouse.
Grammy nominees, a familiar local act and plenty more new holiday music – that’s the crux of this hour. When you throw in Kenny “Blues Boss” Wayne, Buddy Guy, Teresa James, Danielle Nicole, and Professor Longhair, you definitely end up with another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard – the 718th Roadhouse.
I kick off every holiday season with Koko Taylor and sprinkle holiday blues throughout the show. You get that in this edtion, plus Mike Zito, Knickerbocker All-Stars, Mojo Buford, John Jackson, and Watermelon Slim. Thanksgiving’s behind and us December delivers with another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard – the 717th Roadhouse.
We were on the road for the Thanksgiving holiday this weekend. So, here’s a Roadhouse Rewind from five years ago. I’ll be back next week with a new edition.
This edition of The Roadhouse proves out the theory that it doesn’t really matter so much why you stand up from your chair and dance – just that you do. This week, the reasons to do that include James Cotton, Mighty Lester, Downchild, Little Mike & The Tornadoes, and The 44s. It’s not Top 40 dance – just another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard.
When you escape from the world, you still need comfortable clothes, nutritious food and good music. I’ve got the latter covered. Byther Smith, Eric Lindell, Delta Moon, Muddy Gurdy, and Arthur Migliazza provide our entertainment. It’s an hour to escape from the world together and certainly another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard – the 715th Roadhouse.
