Tonight on Cha Cha Cha In Blue we open with a new single from Belgium's blues-rock band The Bluesbones followed by the winners of the blues category of the International Songwriting Competition, John Primer, Ghost Town Blues Band, and The Love Light Orchestra with John Németh. This week's featured new releases are from our own Michael Jerome Browne and JW-Jones as well as Alabama Mike and Ana Popovic. In the "history" part of the show I've got Bessie Smith, Wee Bea Booze, Lightnin' Hopkins, Howlin' Wolf, Ray Charles, Joe Williams, Lafayette “Thing” Thomas, Big John Greer, Big Maybelle, Albert King, and Taj Mahal. We'll close with a song from Midnight Miles in advance of their Thursday EP release party at l'Escogriffe.
