The slightly oddball thing about this one is that it’s a 2016 rerun version of a show from 2013- I couldn’t find the original show files…
Anyway, this is, musically one of the best BPs EVER, for my money- it’s a salute to the great record man/show-business entrepreneur Don Robey of Houston, Texas ca. 1949- 69 and his incredible family of record labels: Peacock, Duke, Back Beat, and all the others.
We honor the legacy, celebrate the history, and revel in the sounds of The Blind Boys of Mississippi, Bobby “Blue” Bland, Johnny Ace, Willie Mae Thornton, The Sensational Nightingales, and all the rest. This one will, or should, definitely make you say God Bless America!
