Is this week's show different from previous weeks? Not really. It's the same mix of blues, country, rock & roll, gospel, jazz and everything else but it is all new tunes, mixed together in a unique blend. There's a 1950s integrated rockabilly band, an R&B pioneer who died just as the sound was taking off, some fine gospel quartet harmony and some clever songwriting in the classic honky-tonk style from Big Fancy, AKA Blake Bamford.
