This week at the Crossroads, for the August Blues Harmonica feature, it’s blues harp legends – the key figures who made the harmonica a central instrument in the blues, pioneering new sounds and styles, and developed their own distinctive approach to the instrument. Among the artists featured are Big Walter, Little Walter, Junior Wells, James Cotton, Sonny Terry, Billy Boy Arnold, and Sonny Boy Williamson I and II.
Plus new music from Moreland & Arbuckle, the Bo Diddley Collection, the Soul of John Black, Mel Brown and C.W. Stoneking – and more of the recently announced Living Blues Awards winners.
