New Month/New Music, Best Of 2017 & Elmore James Centennial

February 2/4

It’s “New Month/New Music” time as Crossroads teams up with Global Village and Strange Currency at the beginning of every month to feature the best in new blues releases.

Among the highlights this time:

Music for the February duos feature from a new album from Mick Kolassa called Double Standards that features him doing duets with a who’s who of contemporary blues artists

The return of  British retro soul band, the James Hunter Six

Volume three in the reissue series from R&B and soul label, Ru-Jac Records

Muddy Gurdy, an album featuring French hurdy gurdy meeting North Mississippi Hill Country blues

And the latest from Bernard Allison, contemporary blues master and son of blues legend  Luther Allison.

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.
