July 19/21
Crossroads continues the July Johnnie Johnson Centennial feature with music he did as a leader, with the Kentucky Headhunters, and with Chuck Berry (we also have a Berry special in hour two of the show).
We mark birthdays of jump blues artist Floyd McDaniel (with Dave Specter & the Bluebirds) and Chicago bluesman Floyd Jones (with Eddie Taylor).
And, as usual, we highlight some of the best new blues titles out now – including music from Curtis Salgado, Johnny Burgin, the Fabulous Thunderbirds, Ben Sidran, a tribute to Matt ‘Guitar’ Murphy, and Big Harp George.
