Bonnie Raitt, Maple Blues Nominees, John Mayall Birthday & Wee Willie Walker Tribute

Friday, November 29 and Sunday, December 1

Crossroads wraps up the November feature of music from Bonnie Raitt and from artists just nominated in the Maple Blues Awards.

We also pay tribute to soul blues singer Wee Willie Walker who passed away last week;  mark the birthday of British Blues Rock pioneer John Mayall with some classic tracks in the first hour and a concert special in hour two of the show; and we’ll hear new music from Kansas City’s Levee Town and Brad Vickers & His Vestapolitans.

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.
