We haven’t done quite as good a job of keeping up with our BluesPowR Radio Hour as we would have liked in recent months, but the upside is that we’ve got a slew of great music to send your way! Hopefully we can start making up for our hiatus by offering a little something extra this time around, as we present this talk-free, nearly two-hour edition of our show, featuring music from both a son and a daughter of the blues in Bernard Allison and Shemekia Copeland, respectively; a double-shot tribute to the recently departed Grove City, PA native Smokin’ Joe Kubek; and a track from rising contemporary blues star Fantastic Negrito. And all that’s just in the show’s first 30 minutes!
You’ll also hear new and recent music from the likes of Ronnie Earl, Sugaray Rayford, Samantha Fish, Ironing Board Sam, Ian Siegal, and The Nighthawks, as well as classic tracks from John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers and Lead Belly, plus a whole lot more.
Until next time (which we hope won’t be quite so long in coming), enjoy!
