The Roadhouse

I've got an hour as big as Texas itself - an hour full of Texas blues. ZuZu Bollin, Lightnin' Hopkins, Mance Lipscomb, Big Mama Thornton, Freddie King. My best advice? Sit back and let musical history from the 1920s right up the present just roll over you in another hour of the finest blues you've never heard - the Texas edition of The Roadhouse.

The next hour of The Roadhouse is full of tracks you haven't heard. I've got four Roadhouse debuts, and fill the rest of the hour with new tracks. Eddie 9V, Dana Gillespie, King Floyd, Ida Mae, and Watermelon Slim are all ahead. I'll make you a promise - that what lies ahead is definitely another hour of the finest blues you've never heard.

The next hour of The Roadhouse is a beautiful mix of blues variety. Harmonica Shah & Howard Glazer, Eric Bibb, Omar Kent Dykes & Jimmie Vaughan, Dave Hole, and Teresa James & The Rhythm Tramps are all included. And, no matter how different they might be, they're all blues and they have in common that they share another hour of the finest blues you've never heard.

The next hour of The Roadhouse is an interesting one, with a couple of blues tracks from great rock artists, and a classic rock track from a contemporary blues band. Blues Traveler, The Georgia Thunderbolts, Minnie Wallace and Her Night Hawks, Tedeschi Trucks Band, and Kim Wilson fill out the hour. It's the usual - a broad range of blues, and another hour of the finest blues you've never heard.

I've got an hour ahead with a special focus on a couple of great blues collectiona - one from Alligator, one from Vanguard. If you throw in the three Roadhouse debuts in the hour, it starts to feel pretty chock full. AJ Fullerton, B.B. King, The Black Keys, Jim Quick and Coastline, and Davell Crawford are front and center in this edition with nine other great blues artists to help deliver another hour of the finest blues you've never heard.

In the next hour of The Roadhouse, I've got the usual variety of styles, but all the tracks are pretty upbeat. And, i slide in three Roadhouse debuts in this hour, as well. Mark Cameron, Christone "Kingfish" Ingram, Adam Schultz, Rodd Bland and the Members Only Band, and Bobby Rush take you through another hour of upbeat blues. Oh yeah. It's also an hour of the finest blues you've never heard.

Not to overstate the case, but I think you'll enjoy this hour of The Roadhouse. A.J. Croce, Steve Cropper, Deb Ryder, The Freaky Buds, and Etta James fill out the hour. With a big variety of tempos, three artists making their Roadhouse debuts, and a mix of famous names and artists not necessarily known for blues, there's no doubt you'll find it to be another hour of the finest blues you've never heard.

I might just have a record number of debuts in the next hour of The Roadhouse, with six artist in the show for the first time. I've got Brigitte Demeyer, Alabama Slim, Big Creek Slim, Otis Kane, and Clarence Spady along with ten other great blues artists. I like to think it's the freshest sound of blues you'll hear this week, and I know it's another hour of the finest blues you've never heard.

The US Independence Day holiday brings a Roadhouse Rewind. I'll be back next week with a new edition. The 500th Roadhouse is a celebration. It's filled with music from artists who have come into their own in the past nine years - artists I was unfamiliar with before starting the show. Big Hammer, Jarekus Singleton, Boo Boo Davis, Carlos Del Junco, and Sean Costello help us celebrate a milestone edition: 500 shows of the finest blues you've never heard.

It's been a goal of The Roadhouse from the very beginning to keep it uptempo. It's a goal that's accomplished in this hour, along with the longtime goal of introducing you to artists you might not hear anywhere else. New Moon Jelly Roll Freedom Rockers, Wilburt Lee Reliford, Yola, Pokey LaFarge, and Big Daddy Wilson just go to show that you're right at the front edge of another hour of the finest blues you've never heard.
