Cruisin' YOUR Blues on the Radio

We gots this little leprechan that tells us your most intimate blues requests. Sometimes he is SO good, you don't even know that these are your personal picks; yet. This week on Hammered By The Blues ( Sunday on KOWZ Noon on 1170am. Classic episodes rebroadcast on line Tues at 9am and Sat at 11am on www.boundarywatersradio.com) we will hang on the heated asphalt section of the blues highway as we jump in the bus with those sleepless maniacs The Insomniacs rollin' out some butt-shakers off their latest, 'At Least I'm Not With You'. It is ALWAYS good to look at the bright side! As we lose our brakes at the top of suicide hill, Jason Ricci and New Blood take control as yer hair is blown sideways by a hurricane of hits from their brand new hottie 'Done With The Devil'. As we see our final destination in the distance, Omar Kent Dykes and friends cover the steamin' asphalt with the greasiest sweet hog fat off 'Big Town Playboy'. We've lost all control, Thrillseekers. Join us for the adventure of your life! Don't forget the GIANT antenna.
Tune us in and turn it up 'cause we make it easy;
We plays those blues that are so hip and sleazy;
Invite the neighbors and have a grand Blues Bash;
It'll be the best of the year and won't cost ya no cash.
Hammer-time!
