THE STRANGEST BLUES

BLUES BEFORE SUNRISE FOR 2/1/26 SLIM HARPO BLOW-OUT 10^TH ANNIVERSARY
This week on BBS we observe the tenth anniversary of our initial Slim Harpo Blowout. Ten years ago we first featured Slim Harpo Buzzin’ The Blues – a five CD box set featuring the complete studio output of Bluesman Slim Harpo. It was issued by the German label Bear Family. During Hour #4 we’ll feature all the classic recordings – and more! The only thing missing is a karaoke track of Baby Scratch My Back so would-be Blues singers could talk their way to fame. It’s our Slim Harpo Blowout – Only on BBS!
