Tonight on Cha Cha Cha In Blue we start with the "blues contingent" of the Festival Sur Le Canal, namely the Justin Saladino Band, Dawn Tyler Watson, and the Durham County Poets.

In the "history" part of the show I've got Bessie Smith, Eddie Lang & Lonnie Johnson, Bo Carter, The Nite Owls, Lillie Mae Kirkman, Bill Doggett, Howlin' Wolf, Matt Guitar Murphy, Monster Mike Welch. and Barrence Whitfield. We'll close with a song from Dan Livingstone in advance of his appearance at Chez Ernest on Thursday.

The Reverend Shawn Amos	Soul Brother No. 1	Soul Brother No. 1	Immediate Family Records	2024	During Covid lockdown, Amos penned the NAACP Image Award-winning youth novel Cookies & Milk, a semi-autobiographical tale based on his latchkey kid years as the son of cookie entrepreneur Wally “Famous” Amos and nightclub chanteuse Shirley “Shirl-ee May” Ellis. Like the book’s protagonist, Ellis Johnson, Amos was a Black child of divorce with mostly white friends, struggling to find his identity in colorful-but-chaotic ‘70s Hollywood. He's also figured out that he's Soul Brother No. 1	✓
Jeff Pitchell	Any Way You Can	Brown Eyed Blues	Degüello Records	2024	Pitchell enlisted a cadre of talented friends to help with this endeavor including Tom Hambridge (co-composer, co-producer, drums), Reese Wynans, Duane Betts, Rick Derringer, and the late great Charles Neville. Guitarist Johnny Stachela from the Allman Betts band sits in and channels Lowell George on the swamp symphony “Any Way You Can.”	✓

Sugaray Rayford	Ain't That A Man featuring Sam Morrow	Human Decency	Forty Below Records	2024	The title track of ‘Human Decency’ is a simple reminder that our similarities are stronger than our differences. “Ain’t That A Man” is a play on the Muddy Waters “Mannish Boy” lyric but instead of expressing bravado, this is a more self-deprecating POV. Album due Friday June 14.	✓
