Good morning, bluesologists! We are back with another Tuesday Bluesday and we’ve got our ‘Best of Chicago Blues’ EP kicking things off this morning.
Here’s your Tuesday Bluesday lineup:
9:00 a.m. The Best of Chicago Blues: Various Artists
Today we kick it off with the masters of the Chicago blues scene like Otis Rush, Willie Dixon, Albert King, Muddy Waters, Little Walter, Bo Diddley, Koko Taylor, Lowell Fulson, Howlin’ Wolf, Buddy Guy, Magic Slim, Sonny Boy Williamson, Son Seals, James Cotton, Paul Butterfield, Elmore James, Jimmy Reed, Otis Spann and more!
4:00 a.m. Album of The Week: Red Rose Speedway by Paul McCartney & Wings
Coming in for a second spin this week, we give you the reissued version with all the bonus tracks. The critics didn’t like it much, but the fans put it at No. 1 on the Billboard album chart and My Love at number one on the Hot 100. This only bolsters my belief that music critics are an acquired taste.
7:00 p.m. In the Spotlight: The Music of Koko Taylor
The Queen of Chicago Blues herself steps into the spotlight to close out our Tuesday Bluesday programming this evening.
It’s Tuesday Bluesday in The Mermaid Lounge and that’s our busiest day. Drop by. There’s plenty of room for everyone, and it won’t cost you a cent to listen in. We’re on 24/7 and we’re totally free. Best of all, there are no commercial interruptions.
