Swear to Tell the Truth for Tuesday, November 25th, (1:00-2:30 pm)
We’re doing a few things on this program. We go back to a figure we neglected until last week, Little Mack Simmons, track from a new Electro-Fi CD from Harrison Kennedy, field recordings from Florida and from upstate New York! We’ll also feature some rare, reissued tracks in blues and in R&B, including the only singles by a couple of female singers and a pair of honking saxophone players.
On the Show:
Bill Doggett – Lil’ Ed & the Blues Imperials – Little Mack Simmons – Otis “Big Smokey” Smothers – Ginger St. James & the Grinders – Richard Williams – Elroy Hart – Cliff Bivins – La Melle Prince – Sax Kari – Lee “Shot” Williams
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 December 24th.
