Haven’t played any zydeco on the air for a while. Count on hearing some this week and a couple of sides from Louisiana blues artists. Also on the program, some scarce R&B recorded between 1946 and 1954.

On the show: 

Boozoo Chavis – Carrière Brothers – Raful Neal –  Bobby Radcliff – Jimmy Dawkins – Red Mack – Charles Gray – Geechie Smith – Amos Garrett – Nina Simone – and others

Listen to the program at FM 93.3 in Hamilton or on CFMU online at cfmu.mcmaster.ca. The program will be available to stream or as a podcast until June 18th.

Next week (May 28th)

We’ve altered our schedule for May 28th. We were tentatively committed to a 90 minute special on Alan Lomax’ Southern Journey recordings but we want to highlight some of the artists appearing at the Westdale Blues & Roots Festival, in Hamilton,  scheduled for June 1st. It’s planned to be an all day affair. Acts include Harrison Kennedy, Steve Strongman, Alvin Smith, Trickbag and Paul Deslauriers.

We’ll postpone the Lomax special to either June 4th or June 11th.
