Johnny Winter, Floyd Dixon & More Nominees

February 8/10

Crossroads features music from Johnny Winter for what would have been his 75th birthday later this month. We’ll hear music from his Columbia debut, the classic Still Alive and Well, a later blues tribute called Roots, and music he did with Muddy Waters.

Crossroads also marks the birthday of West Coast R&B great Floyd Dixon,  and continues to highlight music from Blues Music, Juno and Grammy Awards nominees, including Monster Mike Welch & Mike Ledbetter, Boz Scaggs, Sue Foley, Chicago Plays the Stones, Lurrie Bell and more.

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.
