Good mornng, bluesologists, and welcome to Tuesday Bluesday. Today we take a trip to the Bayou and beyond and get us some B. B. King later. In between, it’s our Album of The Week by The Kinks.

Here’s your bluesical lineup:

9:00 a.m. The Best of Louisiana Blues: Various Artists

Take a trip with me to New Orleans and hear Ray Charles, Lillian Glinn, Slim Harpo, Fats Domino, Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown, Rodney Harris, Roosevelt Sykes, Shirley & Lee, Ray Brown, Papa Lightfoot, Guitar Slim, Annie Laurie, Fats Matthews, Big Joe Turner, Big Boy Myles, Little Walter, Mary Butler, Erline Harris, Marcia Ball, Allen Toussaint, Dr. John, Professor Longhair, The Neville Brothers, Irma Thomas, Dave Bartholomew and more!

4:00 p.m. Album of The Week: Give The People What They Want by The Kinks

It’s the second airing of our Kinks Album of The Week. Although considered “unremarkable” by the critics (who listens to them anyway?) it spawned three single releases.

7:00 p.m. In The Spotlight: The Music of B. B. King

One of the giants of The Blues is back, along with his sidekick Lucille, for your listening pleasure. Been a while since we aired this one.

Before, in between and after our programming we run 24/7 on our big, wide Open Stream. While I’m working today, The Music Mermaid will be in charge. She’s go timpeccable taste in music, as you well know by now.
