Playlist for Blues Moon Radio June 28, 2011

The celebratory fireworks have not begun (as of this writing and from my earshot perspective) yet, but we are prepping for two big celebrations in Blues Moon Radio world...

Our loyal mascots, RockyDawg, Blues Defender, and Claudette, Blues Doggess (RIP = miss you baby grrrrrl), were both born on or near the Fourth of July, so we will celebrate this triad of fabulousness on tonight's Blues Moon Radio show.

Our first set has gone to the dogs and we'll start with a nod from our pal, Lucky, because I love German Police/Shepherd Dogs!

We didn't have time for these cuts... will play them (and the Abner Jay request) next week - promise!
Ruth Brown - Wild Wild Young Men

Tarheel Slim - Wildcat Tamer
Joe Williams/Sonny Boy Williamson - Wild Cow Moan

* These sites are not up-to-date, but CDs are still available for sale from these amazing female artists. Robin Rogers, who died last year, just after learning of her nomination for a Blues Foundation award, indeed received it.
Saffire is no longer actively touring, but they have left a legacy of powerhouse, yet whimsical, Blues from a mature female perspective.  Enjoy!

Thanks for tuning in to the Blues Moon with Clair DeLune radio show... Rocky and I thank you!

Special guest tonight on Blues Moon Radio

Tuesday is Blues-day and we have another great show lined up for you this week.

I am excited to present Laurence "Luckyman" Beall live in the studio tonight ... the show will run from 6-9 p.m. (EDT/USA) and in his honor we will also feature some roots music from the Rockabilly realm... LLBeall is that rare mix of Blues, Country, Rockabilly, Roots and Rock done in a way that hits the rusty nail on the head as it bangs in that ornery plank on the old barn. He plays it, lives it, dresses it and talks it. Thanks to Fred Ingram for turning me on to another musical gem who has found a home in South Carolina!

Check out his page:
