Crossroads continues the November Wild Bill Davis/Blues Organ feature with music Davis did on a blues album from Ella Fitzgerald; marks birthdays of Hank Ballard, W.C Handy, W.C. Clark, and also Howlin’ Wolf guitarist Hubert Sumlin (featured in a special in hour two of the show); and continues with more nominees in the 22nd Annual Maple Blues Awards, including two artists who racked up the most nominations this year, Colin James and Sue Foley.

Chris Heim produces and hosts Global Village, a nationally and internationally distributed world music show; the nightly jazz show Night Train, and Crossroads, KMUW’s twice-weekly blues and R&B show. Chris is also a critic and freelance writer whose work has appeared in the Chicago Tribune, Utne, Global Rhythm, Dirty Linen, and Option, among others.
