It’s Tuesday Bluesday With Some Texas Blues, a Janis Joplin Surprise, and Live Stevie Ray Vaughan, September 23, 2025

Good morning, bluesologists. It’s another Tuesday Bluesday and I’m on the run due to an unresponsive computer for about 20 minutes. Stubborn little thing. We’ve got a great lineup today, so read on for details!

Here’s your Tuesday Bluesday lineup:

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

One of our newer blues EP’s featuring Johnny Winter, Kim Wilson, Bobby “Blue” Bland, Doyle Bramhall II, Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown, Marcia Ball, Gary Clark Jr., Stevie Ray Vaughan, Lightnin’ Hopkins, Janis Joplin, Freddie King, Angela Strehli, Big Mama Thornton, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Blind Lemon Jefferson, ZZ Top, Ally Venable, and more!

4:00 p.m. Janis Joplin & Jorma Kaukonen: The Famous Typewriter Tape NEW!

A little unknown tidbit is that Janis Joplin and Jorma Kaukonen (Jefferson Airplane, later the great blues-rock band Hot Tuna) often collaborated. This is a short, but sweet, interlude recorded at Jorma’s house. The sound in the background is Jorma’s wife typing. Hence, the name. This is vintage 1964!
