About the Show
Rock n’ Soul Jukebox
Rock an’ Soul Jukebox presents the great songs from the days when 45 rpm records ruled the world.
This Saturday’s edition of The Crosscut Blues Show will turn the Blues Spotlight on Rory Block and Fleetwood Mac. Rory’s love of traditional blues music began with the music she first heard in her father’s Greenwich Village sandal shop and hanging around John Sebastian, Steve Mandell, Eric Weissberg, Maria Muldaur, John Hammond, etc. In 1969 Fleetwood Mac, fresh with the chart success of “The Albatross”, returned to their blues roots with a marathon blues recording session at Chicago’s Chess studios accompanied by Big Walter Hornton, Otis Spann, Honeyboy Edwards, and Willie Dixon. We’ll play some tracks from those recording sessions off of the Blues Jam in Chicago 2 release. And, as usual, we’ll give a listen to local Kansas City blues artists and classic recordings by John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers, Etta James & Sugar Pie DeSanto, Magic Dick & Jay Geils, Elmore James, Otis Rush, Saffire – the Uppity Blues Women, Bill Sims, Slim Harpo, Southern Culture On the Skids, and much, much more. Tune in 90.1 FM Kansas City and streaming from kkfi.org. It will be a gas!
