Good morning, bluesologists! We are back with ‘Ladies Sing The Blues’ to kick off our first Tuesday Bluesday of the month. I also stumbled upon some Howlin’ Wolf in my files!

Here’s your Tuesday Bluesday lineup:

9:00 a.m.  Ladies Sing The Blues: Various Artists

And what a collection it is with Billie Holliday, Big Mama Thornton, Ruth Brown, Nina Simone, Janis Joplin, Koko Taylor, Bonnie Raitt, Christine McVie, Marcia Ball, Ellen McIlwaine, Susan Tedeschi, Irma Thomas, Tracy Nelson, Etta James, Linda Ronstadt, Sippie Wallace, Bessie Smith, Shawn Murphy, Angela Strehli, Aretha Franklin, The Blues Broads and more!

4:00 p.m.  Album of The Week: Planet Waves by Bob Dylan

Bob’s back for his second spin with our Album of The Week.

I had no idea that I even had these files. I stumbled upon them Saturday night. This one is late in Howlin’ Wolf’s career, but he still could bring it.
