STAR BLUES on 9th August 2015 at 22:00 with bent knees and straight back, using both arms

we're following H&S guidance bringing you blues. As if we'd do it any other way. Johnny Shines and Walter Horton have been the advanced guard and they're in good company round your place. Even the mighty Liza Tarbuck on Radio2 is an advocate of Mr. Horton - her Saturday extravaganza closed with "Don't Get Around Much Anymore" off his Blind Pig album.

I'll not dwell on the Johnnie Bassett selection other than to remark - after playing his song - that Lady Blue has only provisionally let me back in the house; and its because JB was a class act. Look on YouTube to see him lovingly coax honey from his guitar. He tucked in after the offspring of one of Chicago blues' finest, Eddie Taylor. His new album is on Wolf and gave us a fine opening salvo. There's a resurgence in interest in harp-master Charlie Sayles; his JSP stuff is reissued and positively reviewed in Living blues magazine, he also has a cd on Fetal with Tony Fazio which shows off good skills from both men. an early return is likely on our playlist.

Eugene Hideaway Bridges is absurdly gifted in all departments and his new one is a contender for album of 2015. He plays so lyrically and effortlessly - we brought the title song in evidence. A big man whose voice can whisper and roar. The year has so far been good for singers, not the  least of which Wee Willie Walker whose time has surely come. Starting in the 60s he has always been an expressive singer - now on Jim Pugh's label and in close collaboration with Rick Estrin and Kid Andersion, together they've crafted a real gem full of lush arrangements. Living Blues loves it too the cd has the award in the current edition. Finis Tasby came from the same era as Willie and his solo albums deserve as much attention as the work he did front and centre for the Mannish Boys.

In 1992 producer Ron Levy put Jimmy McCracklin with Lowell Fulson, added in the house band and horns creating a fine project by Fulson  on Bullseye. WC Clark, another man noted as much for voice as guitar, covered Clarence Carter for the robust opener to his album on Alligator. Similar in name only, harp playing William Clarke shared a label but not much else. He did a version of a Muddy Waters song that just showed how much he was under-rated and how much he is missed.

Ace records has put out two delicious surveys this month: one goes to the Ric, Ron and Show-Biz labels to dig out complete singles records by Tommy Ridgely and Bobby Mitchell. You won't get far if you're serious about Louisiana music without coming across these two. The other set is the first volume of stuff done for the Kent label after 1958 - the imprint was created by the Bihari Brothers to replace Modern and RPM. Of thefour songs we chose, surely no-one was fooled by the "Betty and Dupree" artist credit. Wafer thin veneer to disguise Etta James and Harvey Fuqua.

I doubt my interest in blues would have grown in the same way without having heard Scrapper Blackwell. I'm pretty sure I first came across him through the Paul Jones R&B show in the days pre-war blues got played on BBC. He was an admirable foil to Leroy Carr who wrote the song they brought for us. The Sleepy John Estes song came from 1929 and I felt obliged to conclude with T-Bone Walker. (Who am I kidding, no excuse needed). T-Bone was lamenting having to sneak past a woman that sleeps very lightly. Perhaps a distant cousin of Lady Blue after my choice of Johnnie Bassett track?

Tune in again next Sunday at 10pm (BST) to see if I got away with it. Until then take care of yourselves and take care of those that take care of yoy.

STAR BLUES on 2nd August 2015 at 22:00 these are our sort of blues ...

.. carrying enough in our arms to need a health and safety risk assessment of the load

Even if we're still awaiting delivery of the new album from Buddy Guy (the US radio jocks always get theirs first). We made content with one as a sideman for Howlin' Wolf's Dallas travels; and one noted cover issued under his own brand for Chess. Guy - for most folk - does the definitive interpretation of Little Brother Montgomery's song (i find it hard to recall the original).

Debbie Davies' style of playing is surely made to order for John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, I've yet to fathom why she was never offered the gig full-time. Her cover of the Lonnie Brooks song would surely have been a worthy audition. The second of our one-two opening punch came from Lil Ed Williams and his Blues Imperials - a standard bearer for the continued good health of Chicago blues.

Robert Cray, of who's playing and singing many words have been written, had a birthday yesterday (1st August) and we chose one of his songs in celebration. The storyline in "Right Next Door" combined a couple of stereotypes founded upon the stud cheating neighbour with a twinge or two of grown-up conscience - in so doing the bar was raised for blues writing from thence forward.  When James Armstrong first came to notice, he was an easy comparison mark with Robert Cray; he's done more than enough since to distinguish himself in both senses of the word.

Early on in the running order we had Otis Rush from his halcyon days at Cobra (1957) as well as a 1955 session out of Eddie Taylor helped by Jimmy Reed on harp. I've mentioned the idea of an anthology of his work to a couple of the reissue labels, though there's nothing yet i'm not giving up hope yet. we served our distaff side ably with blues women like Barbara Lynn and Ann Cole, Lula Reed and Ruth Brown, Sisters Rosetta Tharpe and O. M. terrell.  Ann's piece was an answer to a then-recent hit for Etta James called "stop The Wedding". Our other gospel piece was Rev. Gary Davies reworking of the song which titled his splendid biography.

The piano tent had Little Willie Littlefield (who had a deserved late Indian Summer career on the European rock'n'roll circuit), Pinetop Smith and Speckled Red. Louis Jordan, Clarence Gatemouth Brown, Charles Walker and Sammy Price did pleasure duties on the rolled-back Axminsters around the world. by the time we found time to compare and contrast messrs Harris and Brown all that was left were two classics bearing the Chess mark.

Your invite was most kind and your welcome most warm. We broke several Health and Safety rules in not adequately assessing the risk of bringing you so much blues but we likely got away with it - and we will again next Sunday 10pm. until then take care of yourselves and take care of those that take care of you.

STAR BLUES on 26th July 2015 at 22:00 joint jumpin

.. round your place/ No-one can ignore the persistent rain that has been waiting for the school children to get on holiday. Nice opportunity to slip in another selection from soon-to-be birthday boy Buddy Guy.  That new album of his must drop soooooon; it will have some famous names in duet (in keeping with the idea Buddy brought Bonnie Raitt for us).

Easy choice for gospel spot too - not that we ever need to apologise for Sister RT. Nor for the Soul Stirrers, one of the most potent examples of the simplicity of the human voice. Professor Harold Boggs added a vintage feel to the then recent Eric Clapton composition.

Our first segment also dallied among the JSP stable for some pretty robust modern blues that John Stedman did so well, especially when working with artists of the calibre of Johnnie Rawls (who was in top form for Deitra Farr). Harp fans were well served by Mojo Buford, Harmonica Shah and Eomot RaSun.  All three deserve wider exposure, the last named has just that one album and it had supporting cast such as Jimmy D Lane, Bob Stroger and Sam Carr (a stellar top-trumps hand in anyone's game).

The Johnnie Taylor selection was a direct steal of an idea off Facebook, it came as a birthday surprise reminder of my first introduction to his great voice. OV Wright was one of Robert Cray's biggest influences; he only left us with few sides and he had Michael Toles on guitar for his blues run-through for us. Hank Ballard has a current survey of his Midnighters singles out on Jasmine, there was a joyful swing to his singing and it set up our introduction of a classic by Calvin Boze.

The earliest blues stars were the women who came from the vaudeville / music hall / gospel traditions: the Document imprint issued two volumes as a survey of what they called Territory singers and we took one apiece from those projects. Tampa Red was sometimes billed as the Guitar Wizard and Ace has just put out a twofer survey of his post-war RCA victor sides. Though that blessed kazoo still parps intrusively on one or two songs, the guitar playing more than makes up for it. Our pair had sidemen such as Walter Horton and Little Johnnie Jones anchored by Odie Payne and Ransom Knowling in the engine room.

Recently we've put the spotlight on blues players rarely heard on Blues radio in Britain; we continued this week with Andrew Brown, Guitar Crusher and Calvin Frazier. You can be sure there'll be more in upcoming shows. Sunday at 10pm (BST) round your place will reveal who's next - until then take care of yourselves and take care of those that take care of you

STAR BLUES on 19thJuly 2015 at 22:00

Our choice of guardian for the STAR BLUES socks wasn't a slam-dunk: we could have had BB King, Nick Holt, Jimmie Lee Robinson or Little Milton. We opted for the Golden Gate Quartet instead: the song "Noah" has timeless, fully rounded deep vocal lines. We were prompted to use it after having had a preview via Lisa Tarbuck's Radio2 show we found on our car radio travelling outside the area. She plyed her trade using a remix by two dj's known as Skeewiff. (They did a decent job but too far outside our remit here).

Slam Allen is a new favourite in the blues community with his album riding high in the charts, his tough punchy tunes are right on the money. Our Lurrie Bell track was inspired by the recent video performance of the song by Omar Coleman and John Primer which will hopefully get official release on vinyl soon. I have two versions of the song: one by it's writer Willie Dixon with the Chicago Blues Allstars. The other is the one by Lurrie Bell.

Ironing Board Sam had a birthday in the week and he brought something from an informal session cut with MusicMaker label owner Tim Duffy. Buddy Guy will have a new album out on his birthday at the end of the month, previews indicate it's a good'un so we got ourselves limbered up with one of his earliest Chess sides. Birthday boy Lil' Jimmy Reed has a new project just out, he's 79 and this is just the second album out in his name. His first went to the music of his namesake and we also had Lil' Wolf who conjured up the sounds of Howlin' Wolf. The mercurial James Harman was the last in our suite of brand new material.

On the reissue front, Ace continues its work Boppin' by the Bayou, the newest is mostly rock but our two cuts sat squarely in blues mould. The closing number from Little Walter has been remastered to the highest quality for the soon-to-be-released collection on Soul Jam. I doubt these tapes have ever sounded better.

Our theme from last week to bring you lesser well-known players continued and you'd be hard pressed to find nay-sayers when given Pete Mayes and Little Joe Blue. The ladies team had Anisteen Allen and Little Esther. Our BB King selection was intended to wrap up those by his mentors Lonnie Johnson, T-Bone Walker, Lowell Fulson and Louis Jordan. The broken clock in the studio made it a black art getting across the finish line even if I fleetingly thought I may get away with accidentally running into a third hour.

I'm already planning the next extravaganza in a family-size package I can bring round your place at 10pm next Sunday. Until then take care of yourselves and take care of those that take care of you.

STAR BLUES on 12th July 2015 at 22:00 (BST) with ten guitarists never normally heard on British blues radio

such as Pete "Guitar" Lewis, Cal Green and Jimmy Nolen ...and we had a first hour choc full of the best albums from 2015 so far. When that lineup includes Jackie Payne, Omar Coleman and Eugene Bridges, you ain't doing too bad.

First out of the gate - ahead of a new greatest hits set - Jeff Healey (trombonist, radio-dj and blues-collector par excellence). His go at the Freddie King tune reminded me of the scorching version he gave on screen in Patrick Swayze's "Roadhouse" movie. Easy mark to cue up the second item: Otheneil Bridges was known as "Hideaway Slim" and his son Eugene is the complete package. A Physically imposing man, his huge presence includes a voice like Sam Cooke and a lyrical guitar style invoking B B King at his swinging best. The album by Eugene is a handsome contender for awards come year-end with fifteen gems. Omar Coleman's time has surely come, his harp skills are now in much demand and his debut album for Delmark is much feted already.

Daddy Mack Orr stands at the threshold of his eighth decade and his four piece band typifies the Memphis blues sound. Both Jackie Payne and Frank Bey have solid groundings in sixties soul and their knowing, grainy voices are ideal in 2015 - both have albums with good original songs instead of covers remade. Otis Clay seems relaxed these days and he adds gospel gravitas to the project whose idea came from long time admirer Billy Price. The new one by Tony Fazio has an enigmatic harp genius in tandem: Charlie Sayles. A lovely retro project is just out from Chris Daniels; it has sumptuous full arrangements you just want to wrap around you, I've played their version of Rance Allen's "What A Day" so many times the cardboard font of the digipack is almost torn through. Michael Falzarano is a more eclectic player with many facets on offer on the album just out.

one of STAR BLUES' core artists is Bob Corritore by dint of the results he inspires in his partners  his collection on Delta Groove is the first volume of work he and Henry Gray did for the likes of Robert Lockwood Jr. hearing that voice and those jazz tinged guitar fills remind us of Lockwood's genius.

Fitting then our second hour went into the corners of the blues discographies often overlooked on British Blues radio. As well as the names at the top of this blog we found room for Tiny Grimes, Wild Jimmy Spruilll and Harold Burrage. In two or three minutes they each played blues with passion you can't fake. There's a car advert on TV at the moment hereabouts, the insistent beat and unfettered vox have been driving me crackers each time it comes on. So I fired up a search engine or two and bought myself a ten track album by mickey hawk and the raiders. Running time a smidge over twenty minutes. Never mind the width, roll that carpet back to feel the groove.

Our "sox" moment probably came out of Little Johnny Christian, and if you hear anything better than that before the next STAR BLUES, I'll eat my socks. If you're game it'll take place around your place at 10pm on Sunday, until then take care of yourselves and take care of those that take care of you

STAR BLUES on 5th July 2015 at 22:00 - uniquely, willfully, purposely, deliberately different

We've more tunes in the bag tonight than we can possibly play in two hours - if nothing else proving that UNCUT magazine are a little premature in announcing the death of our music upon BB's passing. Rude health from the down home simplicity of James Cotton's award winner from ten years ago to the pre-war mastery of Blind Willie McTell. It's all here.

We took a moment to play a Mighty Sam McClain song from his 2009 album: his unique, rich voice was stilled on 16th June and in truth I don't know of a bad record by him. James Cotton turned 79 this week and his graceful yet urgent harp was never better than on the heartfelt three-hander he did for Verve with Joe Louis Walker and Charlie Haden. Our other dip into the birthday book found Champion Jack Dupree on one of his 1940 sides issued on Okeh.

While over in the piano tent we heard Memphis Slim - I mused that considering his music was some of the first I found, he isn't a regular contributor. Still can't explain why; there's a fabulous photo of him in Francis Wilford Smith's back garden inexplicably holding a penny farthing bicycle.

Roy Gaines and Gorgeous George Stancell (both respectively out of the JSP stable at the time) set out our stall for proceedings. I almost posed a silly question at the start of our second hour following the robust guitar soloing on "Texas" track off the fairly-rare album done by Long Jong Hunter and Tom "Bluesman" Hunter: I almost ventured that they are the only pair of  brothers in this game (then I remembered Syl and Jimmy Johnson). Called it an honourable draw.

Three new anthologies on Jasmine caught our attention, each one with the very first output  of its star (Don Covay, Joe Tex and JB Lenoir). The first two started out with gospel in their voices aimed at covering Little Richard, but who soone developed individual styles ideal for R&B. The Lenoir set has 22 unissued cuts in addition to his hits from 1950-1960.

Fans of blues guitar were further delighted by tracks on Otis Rush, Johnny Shines, Little Joe Blue, Ray Agee and Earl King; harp lovers got Sydney Maiden and the second Sonny Boy Williamson, Little Willie Littlefield did piano duties. As for blues singers, not doing too bad when you can call on Wynonie Harris, Tiny Topsy and the sock selection from Evelyn Freeman. (This is the choice show highlight for our challenge that if you can find another track on UK blues radio as good as this, I will eat my socks).

What we do ain't pretty, thanks for your kind invite to your place to let us do it - we're already cooking up more trivia tomfoolery and blues as good as these for next Sunday at 10pm (BST). Until then take care of yourselves and take care of those that take care of you

STAR BLUES on 28th June 2015 at 22:00 (BST) Willie Dixon was born 100 years ago: twenty of his songs

barely do justice to the influence of his gifts. According to his autobiography there are 521 songs in his canon; that doesn't take into account the dozens of sessions he played proper stand-up bass on, countless times acting as producer. He worked for both Chess and Cobra labels (among others), and he had two of his own.

In a colourful life he started out singing gospel and was a useful boxer, winning a Golden Gloves title. When Led Zeppelin included his 1962 song for Muddy Waters called "You Need Love" into a track on their iconic second album, he sued, got an out of court settlement and the song writing credits amended on all subsequent versions of the Zep album. If that wasn't enough, the money was used to help set up the "Blues Heaven Foundation" charity (now administered by his family). It's probably better left to the listener to fire up a search engine to get more detail. Pretty sure the legal niceties are the reason the movie hasn't been commissioned (the plot is terrific).

His "Signifying Monkey" was a big sheet music seller before the Big Three cut a record of it and we went to his final solo album called "Hidden Charms" stuffed full of his own songs on silvertone. (The following project "Ginger Ale Afternoon" was a soundtrack).
We inadvertently chose a poor copy of Charles Clark's version of "Hidden Charms" - the fidelity probably through the radio may not have been great: sorry (sourcing old vinyl does that sometimes).

I was away from the bridge for just two weekends and look what happens: the blues died. Well it did if you read Uncut magazine. Patent nonsense easily rebuffed when you consider Mavis Staples had just done a terrific set from the stage of Glastonbury. I also have a handsome heap of brand new albums for airplay audition arrived while I was away. Classical music didn't die when Beethoven died.. Sure BB King was a gifted musician who continues to influence so many other players, his real loss is that of a humanitarian of grace, patience and understated wisdom. Celebrate what he did and what we have now. I struggle each week trimming my playlist into a two hour slot: the blues will be dead when I can't find enough good stuff (not while I have so much).

We paid tribute to Big Time Sarah and Wendell Holmes who died this month; Wendell's passing is particularly poignant given band-mate Popsy Dixon's recent death and the lovely cover feature in the newest Living Blues magazine. His version of "Beast of Burden" showed off a smoky voice and textured guitar and organ.

If you want to write off our music, you should probably note our next planned holiday is 15th November. Before then - Sunday in fact - I'm plotting more trivia, tomfoolery and good old-faashioned blues, be good to have you along. Until then take care of yourselves and take care of those that take care of you
