Electric Blues – #BecomeUngovernable Radio

Good morning, global bluesologists and welcome to another Tuesday Bluesday here. Today we’ve got Delbert McClinton and The Blues Project on tap for opening and closing with our AOW in between.

Here’s today’s musical menagerie:

9:00 a.m. In the Spotlight: The Music of Delbert McClinton

Delbert McClinton is a legend in Texas roots music. Primarily known as a blues and electric blues artist, singer, songwriter, harmonica player, piano player, Delbert McClinton knows how to combine country, blues, soul and rock n’ roll seamlessly into his own sound, as if there is no distinction between any of those genres. Listen up and listen in.

3:00 p.m. Album of The Week: Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys

This is the second airing of this great mindbending album, certainly one of the most influential albums of its time.

7:00 p.m. The Blues Project Reunion in Central Park, New York, October 24, 1973

Join us tonight as we close out Tuesday Bluesday with some live music from The Blues Project from Central Park.

Tuesday Bluesday is always a busy Lounge day and today is no exception, so jump on in and have yourself a great music day with the rest of us! We’re on 24/7 totally free of charge and free of commercial interruption.

It’s Tuesday Bluesday!

Good Morning, Bluesologists! We’re back for another Tuesday Bluesday and we have some new blues today as we add the late, great Koko Taylor to our Spotlight list. And later it’s two great blues guitarists together live.

***Today we put the great Koko Taylor In the Spotlight!***

Here’s your Tuesday Bluesday lineup:

11:00 a.m. In the Spotlight: The Music of Koko Taylor NEW!

There’s no doubt about it: Koko Taylor is a blues powerhouse whose musical style encompassed Chicago blues, electric blues, rhythm & blues, and soul blues. She’s often called the Queen of The Blues, just as Aretha is called The Queen of Soul and Irma Thomas is called The Soul Queen of New Orleans. Come to think of it, that would make a fucking great playlist. But I digress because today, we put Koko Taylor In the Spotlight where she belongs.

3:00 p.m. Album of The Week: McCartney by Paul McCartney

Our only break in our blues programming today is to hear Sir Paul’s iconic 1970 debut album. The simple beginnings of an amazing post-Beatles career that’s still going strong as he turns 80 this week.

7:00 p.m. Buddy Guy & Stevie Ray Vaughan Live at The Lone Star Cafe, New York, April 14, 1986

Two blues guitar masters together is a real treat, and we close out our Tuesday Bluesday programming today with them live at the Lone Star Cafe in New York.

Tuesday Bluesday here in The Mermaid Lounge is always a great take. Make this the day to join your friends from Germany, Switzerland, Norway, The Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, South Africa, Russian Federation, Chile, Australia, Texas, New York, North Carolina, Flori-DUH and points beyond.

Tuesday Bluesday!
