More Country Blues

More Country Blues

We get serious about the deeper roots … going much deeper this evening, working mostly in pairs, exploring the blues from the Delta and beyond. Acoustic blues, played on the front porch with the evening sun finally set beyond the hill. Blues from the cabin if you will. We’ll hear acoustic sounds from Big Joe Williams, Son House, Honeyboy Edwards, Mississippi Fred McDowell, and many others including a small sampling of some contemporary performers. Sonoma County Community radio’s musical archives are brimming.
