What's Bill Listening To?
This blog reviews Blues songs and albums that Bill Brandt (I'm a member of the CBS BOD) has been listening to lately. I'll post my impressions and invite everyone else to weigh in. Preferences and impressions aren't right or wrong--they simply are. I'll choose both a new release and an old classic to review every two weeks. Any type of Blues may show up, though I'm partial to Delta, Chicago, Juke Joint, Boogie, and Rock-Blues.
Big Road Blues
This blog takes a feed from Jazz 90.1 in Rochester, NY. Starting July 2007 the host launched Big Road Blues which airs on WGMC Jazz 90.1. The show gives him an opportunity to dig deeper into blues history, exploring topics at length and above all playing the vintage blues I've always loved. Big Road Blues is a weekly exploration of the forgotten history of the blues covering the first fifty years of recorded blues music. In addition to classic artists, the show shines the spotlight on those forgotten blues figures from the past; from the once popular artists who are now forgotten to those who may have only cut a handful of 78’s or 45’s before drifting off in obscurity. From week to week I tackle a specific theme such as a artist profiles, record labels, lyrical themes, blues styles, features on notable reissues and much more..
