July 26/28
Crossroads wraps up the July feature celebrating the 80th birthday of Mavis Staples with music she did under her own name and with the Staple Singers – and marks birthdays of Popsy Dixon of the Holmes Brothers, and Mick Jagger (with the blues side of the Stones, a guest appearance with Buddy Guy, and some music from Chicago Plays the Stones project). And in hour two of the show, it’s a special on gospel and the blues, including music from both the Staple Singers and the Holmes Brothers.
