Harp Maestro Bob Corritore is also a blues-dj and club owner: his Rhythm Room club is celebrating 20 years this upcoming Sunday - as tribute to the quality of blues acts playing there , often with award winning recordings, we had a preview on STAR BLUES last night. So it was Mojo Buford, Kim Wilson, Robert Lookwood Jr and Bob himself brought good stuff to our show. Robert Cray and Bob Margolin will there in Phoenix at the weekend for sets during the celebrations.
Given yesterday's date it was fitting that our "1001 Blues" feature did Big Jack Johnson with his the title track off his 1998 MC album "We Got To Stop This Killing". Our feature usually goes back at least twenty years but there seemed to be no good reason to ignore the sentiments of the guitarist known as the Oil Man.
Candye Kane was also on hand later in the show for her "Jesus and Mohammed" song that celebrates the similarities rather than seeks to perpetuate differences. She has not been well lately and is on the mend, her spirit has never been more spot on than in this keenly observed piece. The Kent label has a new anthology of Bobby Marchan's solo sides, he's known for his work with Huey Piano Smith and for writing the b-side to Slade's first hit single, this new cd shows what a fine interpreter of soul ballads he became, as evidence we included his version of "Meet Me In Church" done first by Joe Tex.
During the week, I've been contacted with enquiries on Etta Baker and the Stones instrumental "2120 South Michigan Avenue" (the address of Chess Records building in Chicago). Mick and the boys closed the show and while I'll leave Ms Baker for another week, I put in a nice finger picking piece in the style of Mississippi John Hurt from Bernie Pearl.
There's more of the same but very different next Sunday at 10pm (BST), you were great company last night until next week take care of yourselves and take carre of those that take care of you
