One of the fun things about doing a volunteer blues show on KRVM is blowing the dust off the somewhat forgotten, or maybe lesser played great reissued blues CD’s or original vinyl records that we’re lucky enough to have on hand. Such is true with Louis Myers 1978 Testament recording “I’m a Southern Man”. Louis Myers is a true Chicago blues man, and one of the best sidemen of his era. Another record that I enjoyed playing was Robert Jr. Lockwood’s “Mr. Blues is back to stay”. It’s a classic 1980 Rounder recording featuring Mr. Lockwood and his good friend Johnny Shines. I also had fun tying artists and songs together like Fleetwood Mac doing a Jimmy Rogers politically incorrect song “World’s in a tangle”. Or Sean Costello doing a great job on Otis Rush’s “You’re killing my love”. Speaking of Jimmy Rogers, his “That’s all right” is definitely one of my favorite all time classic blues songs. I always enjoy putting it out there. I had lots of calls today, and a couple of requests which I’m always happy to accommodate if possible.
