Friday, June 19 and Sunday, June 21
Crossroads continues the June West Coast Blues feature with music from and inspired by Charles Brown, one of the key figures in the creation of the sophisticated, after hours rhythm and blues style that developed on the West Coast after the War.
We’ll hear early and comeback tracks from Brown and such related artists as Ray Charles, Percy Mayfield and more, along with a Charles Brown special in hour two of the show. Plus new music from Roomful of Blues, Bruce Katz, and Ruthie Foster, and remembering Lucky Peterson and Little Charlie Baty (of Little Charlie & the Nightcats).
