The BIG Show on the Radio

We tapped a couple BIG's for this show and an Aussie Lass with a BIG voice. This week on Hammered By The Blues ( Sunday on KOWZ 10pm on 1170am. Classic episodes rebroadcast on line Tues at 9am and Sat at 11am on www.boundarywatersradio.com) we hang for a few with Muddy Water's little boy Big Bill Morganfield as he continues the legacy with some smokin' tracks off 'Born Lover'. Then we get the hook up with a little Aussie gal with a big voice and monster guitar skills, Fiona Boyes as she shares her stylings off her latest 'Blues Woman'. To cap our blues outting in a large way, we call on Big Pete Pearson as he demonstrates his dues 'fully paid' swagger off 'Finger In Your Eye'. Now that is one BIG blues sandwich!
We introduce you to blues friends both old and new;
From the old homestead mailbox we pull out our que;
Screamin' guitar, hot vocals, keyboards and some sax;
It don't cost you much 'cause there ain't no blues tax!
Hammer-time!
Crossroads Blues
Robert Johnson

I went to the crossroads, fell down on my knees
I went to the crossroads, fell down on my knees
Asked the Lord above, have mercy now,
Save poor Bob if you please

Standin' at the crossroads, tried to flag a ride
Whee-hee, I tried to flag a ride
Didn't nobody seem to know me, everybody pass me by

Standin' at the crossroads, risin' sun goin' down
Standin' at the crossroads baby, the risin' sun goin' down
I believe to my soul now, po' Bob is sinkin' down
You can run, you can run, tell my friend Willie Brown
You can run, you can run, tell my friend Willie Brown
That I got the crossroad blues this mornin',
Lord, baby I'm sinkin' down

I went to the crossroad, mama, I looked east and west
I went to the crossroad, babe, I looked east and west
Lord, I didn't have no sweet woman, ooh well,
Babe, in my distress
