Blues Moon Radio Playlist Oct. 18, 2011 - Blues fests and Bday festivities!

Good evening, Blues Lovers!

Tonight we are going to play music from artists who will be performing at the Columbia Blues Festival this Saturday, Oct. 22 (see blog post below for details and links).

Then we'll close out the second hour with the second half of October's birthdays. Lots of great music - much of which has yet to be heard on WUSC and Blues Moon Radio before (some are repeats, but I hope not within the past five years - we aim to bring you fresh rosters each week).

Headlining the Columbia Blues Fest this year is Leo Kottke, who tells wonderful tales with his dextrous fingers. He has a song called June Bug and I have a friend, who happens to be small and furry and meows, by that name.  So, you won't mind if - in my mind - we dediCATe the festival to her, will you? I KNEW y'all would understand. Even RockyDawg loves June Bug!

Playlist for Oct. 18, 2011:

Leo Kottke - June Bug b/w The Last Steam Engine Train b/w Sweet Louise
Randall Bramlett (with Geoff Achison) - See Through Me b/w Get In Get Out
Toni Spearman - INTV (from earlier this year) followed by Let the Good Times Roll b/w Boogie at Stokie's
Wanda Johnson - Natural Resource b/w It's So Nice to Have Somebody

We have some unnreleased material from the Mobro's to debut - I'm told they are a band to watch!

October birthdays (15th through 31st - boo! Did I ssssscare you?)

We will feature a cut or two from Bernie Pearl's newest CD, Right Side of the Blues in honor of his birthday! So nice to be in touch with you, Bernie - and to find your birthday in my calendar of Blues greats! Synchronicity is sterling!

Bernie Pearl - Holow Log Blues b/w Outside Boogie from Right Side of the Blues CD

Big Joe Williams - Annie Mae
Boogie Woogie Red - Viper Song
Chuck Berry - Deep Feeling
Doctor Ross - I'm a Mannish Boy
Speckled Red - INTV b/w the Dirty Dozens
Boozoo Chavis - Uncle Bud


We'll finish out with new music from Jeff Gates (SC fella!)
