This week's show continues to offer the best of vintage blues and country classics, obscure artists that should be heard more and new artists that honour tradition. To that end, we've got Wynonie Harris, Howlin' Wolf, Roger Miller. Lefty Frizzell and Johnny Horton plus Cliff Bruner and his Texas Wanderers, The Detroit Harmonettes, Buster Pack and his Lonesome Pine Boys and Larry Dale, a fine New York City bluesman who is almost unknown, plus Sinead X Sanders who keeps the traditional country sound alive in her original songs.
