This week, the show goes back to blues from the Victor label, looking at Blues from the legendary Bluebird budget line, records made between 1933 and 1941. It’s hard to generalize about Bluebird’s blues output because it included a wide range of styles. At the end of the 1930s, Bluebird included what some might regard as quite dispensable swing dance blues records at one end of the spectrum but hard southern blues at the other. We mostly featured the hard blues recordings.

Also on the program, some pre-war gospel quartet from the southeastern states as well as a couple of live performances from the early sixties concerts stages by the Friends of old time Music. And a bit of Soul music from Don Robey’s Duke and Back Beat labels.
