Blues Drummers, New Releases & Concert Previews

May 10/12

Throughout May, Crossroads is celebrating International Drum Month by highlighting releases with great blues drummers, including music this time from Grammy Award winning drummer and Muddy Waters Band alum Willie ‘Big Eyes’ Smith and his son, Kenny ‘Beedy Eyes’ Smith, along with a special featuring Cedric Burnside in hour two of the show.

Plus new blues releases, classic recordings, and music from blues artists with local and regional shows in the coming week.

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.
