Taj Mahal, Robert Johnson & Bob Margolin

May 8/10

Crossroads kicks off the May Feature of music from Taj Mahal with selections from several of his albums. We’ll also hear Taj on a tribute to Robert Johnson, whose birthday we also mark this time. And it’s also the birthday of Muddy Waters Band alum and 2026 Blues Hall of Fame inductee Bob Margolin. We’ll hear him in a hour-two concert special heading up an all-star blues lineup with Bob Stroger, Kenny Smith, and Mojo Buford.

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.
