Playlist for Thursday May 14th 2009

I’m not sure why, but I thought that it would be kind of cool to play a bunch of duet songs on this mornings blues show. The funny thing is, BB Kings Deuces Celebrity Duet CD was my inspiration to do this, and I totally spaced on playing a song off that CD. That will give me something to look forward to for my next show. I also enjoyed playing some new music from the Severn label. Soul / blues singer Charles Wilson has come a long ways from his Ekco records days and the classic recordings such as “It’s sweet in the backseat” and “It ain’t the size” or “Mr. Freak”. Charles also cut a couple CDs with Delmark, but he seems to be gaining some serious momentum with this new release “Troubled Child”. I like most every song on the recording. Another nice new CD that we’ve just received from Severn is the “Chicago Blues Harmonica Project”. This new CD features some of the lesser known blues harmonica players that work in the windy city. There’s nothing groundbreaking or earth shattering on this CD, but it is filled with solid blues music from talented musicians that deserve some recognition.
Until next time.
