Favoriting April 23, 2023

Tonight on Cha Cha Cha In Blue we're still COVID aware and this is my 154th show recorded at home. Let's start by going back to some recent releases by Joe Louis Walker, Scott Ellison, Tas Cru, and Terry Donaghue. This week's featured new releases are from the Bruce Katz Band, Will James, and Jennifer Lyn & The Groove Revival. In the "history" part of the show I've got Bessie Smith, Frank Hutchison, Charley Patton, Leroy Carr & Scrapper Blackwell, Willie Nix, Lonesome Sundown, Hop Wilson, J.B. Lenoir, Clarence Hollimon, Otis Rush, Barkin' Bill Smith, and Fathead. We'll close with a song from Blackburn in advance of their appearance Thursday at Upstairs.
