Blues Redux on the Radio

Yes folks; sometimes you just need to rehash the stuff that tickles your musical pallette. 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 will share the best of a past moment we spent together with a handful of beautiful blues babes. We start at the start with Susan Tedeschi and tracks off 'Back To The River'. Then we join the magnificent Mavis Staples 'LIVE'. Jumpin' up to party, Marcia Ball provides tidbits of her 'A' game off 'Peace, Love and BBQ'. To top it all off, we tap a few slect tunes off Cadillac Records soundtrack. If it was great once, it is even better twice!
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls;
We'll fill yer ears and tighten yer curls;
Hammered By The Blues is yer friend indeed;
When yer mojo needs cleanin' and yer spirit freed!
Hammer-time!
