If, like us, you weren’t able to make it to Chicago earlier this month for its annual free blues festival, then let us help bring some of the Windy City to you with this latest episode of our BluesPowR Radio Hour, featuring a full block of tracks from artists on Chicago-based Delmark Records, including Mississippi Heat, Sharon Lewis, Billy Flynn, and Linsey Alexander. Plus, Toronzo Cannon schools us on The Chicago Way, acoustic bluesman Eric Bibb offers a double shot of Migration Blues, and more from John Lee Hooker, David M’ore, and UK pianist Tom Bell.
