July 27/29

Crossroads celebrates the 82nd birthday of blues legend Buddy Guy on July 30th with music from his new album, a classic Vanguard release just reissued on vinyl, and music he did with harp partner Junior Wells.

The show also wraps up the July Jump Blues feature with music from Louis Jordan, the Mighty Blues Kings, Tiny Bradshaw, and a special in hour two featuring Lavay Smith.

Plus new music from Finland’s Wentus Blues Band, Mud Morganfield, and the Hard Core Harp compilation.
