Comin' up on The Blues Show:
May 19, 2012
Blues from the soundtrack for the film We Juke Up In Here, a look at the present blues juke joint scene in Mississippi.
In the midnight hour on The Blues & Beyond, we'll hear from two great artists who passed away this month, bluesman Michael Burks and bassist Donald "Duck" Dunn. Michael Burks, known as The Iron Man, was a soulful singer and dazzling guitarist who suffered a heart attack in the airport in Atlanta after returning from a tour in Europe. Bassist Donald "Duck" Dunn was a mainstay of the Memphis soul scene, a member The Mar-Keys, and of Booker T & The MGs, and bassist on classic recordings by Sam & Dave, Otis Redding, Albert King, Muddy Waters, and many others. He died in Japan after a show there. We'll also hear new blues from Quintus McCormick, and open a new album from John Pizzarelli on which he combines songs in medleys that were written decades - - and styles - - apart.
It's been said that rock, pop, country, jazz and R&B are just branches of a tree whose roots are buried deep in the mud of the Mississippi Delta. To honor those roots 88.5 WXPN presents The Blues Show with host Jonny Meister every Saturday evening from 7pm to 12 midnight.
Jonny Meister with Catherine Russell
The Blues Show covers the entire history of the blues from 1920 to the present, from the best-known to the most obscure blues, with an eye both on the rich history of this music and its current vitality.
Host Jonny Meister has been playing the blues on WXPN since March 1977. Meister grew up with old blues records in the house. His father played boogie woogie on the piano, which Jonny learned at about the age of 12. Later he played in rock bands and did a few solo gigs as a singer-songwriter. As his interest in blues grew, he became especially interested in the history of the music, a history not always revealed by the rock musicians and their promoters who drew heavily on the blues.
Jonny spent a week with the family of the late, great blues musician J. B. Lenoir in 1979, and he was one of the consultants for the Wim Wenders film The Soul Of A Man which featured Lenoir, in the PBS film series The Blues. He won the "Keeping The Blues Alive" award for work in Public Radio for The Blues Show in 2000 and a "Best of Philly" award from Philadelphia Magazine in 1996 for "Best Local Radio Show".
