Our program this week is just a bit different. When we feature the blues we generally concentrate on acoustic players, but recently I realized I had acquired a bunch of great new electric blues recordings that really needed to be played. So we’ll hear music from Grammy winner Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, Elvin Bishop & Charlie Musselwhite and The Tedeschi Trucks Band along with many others. Electric blues from the masters …this week on The Sing Out! Radio Magazine.
