Hello, Blues Lovers... Hope you're stayin' healthy in this crazy mixed-up winter weather. Check out this week's blues question: Mac Arnold (track 10 this week) worked on what long running Soul and R&B show whose host just recently passed away? The first couple of listeners emailing me the correct answer at: [email protected] will receive a pair of current blues CD's.... (Stations rules allow you to win only once every thirty days.) Last week's answer: Etta James. Congrats to Chuck and Steve who were the first two with the correct answer to last week's question.
... Now on to todays’ show...... Professor Longhair sets the show off with a "Whole Lotta lovin'" leading into a catchy little band called Jumpin' Jack Benny. Tom Hambridge applies his outstanding production skills to Joe Louis Walker's newest release and the track "Black Girls" is a real showpiece. Also new this week is Sherrie Williams. I've had her disc for a while and finally have a chance to spin a track. She's another fine vocalist from the Electro- Fi label. Another debut on this week's show is Blind Pig group, Contino. They've been getting some good blues press. Find out why with their track "Big Tent." Try to catch the cut from Dave Keller. Dave won best self-produced CD at the IBC for this latest effort Where I'm Coming From.... It's truly a fine set of tracks.
