New Smokestack Lightnin' Show Up And Running!
THE NEW SHOW IS UP!-Smokestack Lightnin' Blues Radio is currently web-casting for your listening pleasure its newest 3 1/2 hour Blues Special!
Synopsis: As usual we begin this edition of Smokestack Lightnin’ with our famous Top Ten Blues CDs for the week. We got an excellent set of CDs from the St. Clair label featuring 5 of the most influential blues artists of all times, so we dedicated a whole set to them. Theres a set of excellent Roots Blues, and as always theres two huge sets of all new blues received in the Ilakanickel studio in just the last couple of weeks. There’s a huge tribute to Wilson Pickett, one of the greatest soul men to ever pick up a microphone, and a nice set by request featuring obscure (but excellent) bluesman Bryan Lee to close the show.
