We’ll hear Hall of Fame inductees B.B. King, Ruth Brown, Syl Johnson, Earl Hooker, Bettye LaVette, Billy Branch, and Eddie Boyd – and nominees who are up for multiple awards, including Sugaray Rayford, Christone ‘Kingfish’ Ingram, the Cash Box Kings, Delbert McClinton, and Jimmie Vaughan (who is also featured in performance in a special in hour two of the show).
